FROM THE ETOILE.

The emancipation of St. Domingo has produced in
the United States of America very great surprise. Opi-
nion is divided. Some applaud the step taken by the
French Government ; others dread its consequences to
the United Stater, while all view with a jealous eye the
privileges granted to French commerce.
The following is an extract of a letter, dated Brest,
September 18:—" The Envoys from Hayti made a
stay of only fifteen hours here. Having yesterday
completed the quarantine of twenty days, to which
they had been subjected, they entered the city in the
morning, accompanied by Baron de Maclean, by whom
'they were presented to Vice-Admiral Gourdon, the Ma-
ritime Prefect, and immedia•ely after they alighted at
the Hotel de Provence, occupied by M. Malet, Consul-
General for St. Domingo. A toast was proposed at
the desert, by rne of the travellers. I was placed near
M. Donmec, and the Senator being re•seated, replied,
Gentlemen : when language, religion, and habits,
tend to approximate two nations, reconciliation cannot
long be waited for.' He then recounted a circumstance
in his rife which spewed his attachment to France. I
came to Europe,' said he, during the Consular Go-
vci nme-t, and then traversed Germany, as far as Ham-
barghos here I embarked. I was forced to kut into a
port in England, where I remained about six months.
l'he oppo.ite character and manners of the

cloned dart education of his :objects to foreigners (our
neighbovs), threw farther off every day an event which
sae all desired. in a few years more, St. Domingo
would have exhibited nothing French; but ss e have
preserve 3 the sacred fire.'
•M. Rouannes, as you know, is POW in France. He
is above 40. It was the first time I haJ seen a man of'
colour. He, nevertheless, appeared to nie to be an
able negotiator. T e senator Donmec is about 50 ;
he is the son of a mulatto and a black. His features,
on being well eratiniiied, have some feeble resemblance
to those of an Enropeati. His physiognomy expresses
kindnes,; his conversation is agreeable, and his expe-
rience is never at fault. Colonel Fremont has the mi-
litary air of the old troops of France. He is a pure
negro, as well as his three sons. He is covered with
wouads, which render his appearance a little rough.—
These Gentlemen reckon on returning :in November, so
as to be at home in time for the anniversary of Haytian
indep,ndence, which falls on the ht of January."

FROM THE ETOILE OF WEDNESDAY.
NUREMBERG, SEPTEMBER 22.
While the Turkish Government at peseta places all
its confidence in the Austrian Internuncio, and endea-
•ours to meet all its wishes, it shew•s a distrust of the
French Ambassador, because he has not given satis-
factory answers respecting the great number of French
Offizers in the service of the Greeks, and the assistance
sent to the latter ; bit the Porte shews itself much more
incensed against the English Charge d'Affaires, Mr. Tu-
rner, who is at present in a very disagreeable situation.
—He was lately invited to a conference with the Reis
Effendi, who has the reputation of a moderate and
pretty obliging man, but this time he represented to
Mr. Turner, by his Dragoman, in harsh terms, the hos-
tile conduct of England, with which he bitterly re-
proached him. It is said that he informed the English
Minister of the personal discontent of the Sultan with
his conduct, and with his having constantly answered,
that the English Government could not hinder private
individuals from going to Greece, from entering into
the service, or from sending assistance to the Greeks;
but that for itself and its agents it obset veil the strictest
impartiality.
The Reis Effendi, it is said, declared to Mr. Turner
that all these assertions were incorrect ; that the Sultan
had had proofs that the Governor of the lonian Isles,
the English Admiral in the Mediterranean, and Corn.
mudote Hamilton, commanding the Enulish squadron
in the Archipelago, favoured the insurgents in every
possible manner, to the great prejudice of the Turks;
that such conduct was a violation of all the principles
of neutrality, and rendered the Cabinet of London an
accomplice in the insurrection of the Greeks; that if
these glievances were not redressed, the Porte would
be obliged to use reprisals against England.
Mr. Turner, it is said, answered the lteis Effendi
chiefly on the latter point with great energy, and de-
dared to him that the Porte had been more than once
indebted for the preservation of its existence to the
Crown of England, and that the latter was not to be
intimidated by threats.
It is affirmed that a note was afterwards drawn up
in a style of moderation, and presented to Mr. Turner,
in which, however, the Porte insists on the recall of the
Governor of the lonian Wands, of Admiral Neale, and
Commodore Hamilton.
