FROM THE FRENCH FRONTIERS, JUNE 24.

According to a letter from Havre, fresh hopes are
entertained there of the speedy conclusion of a conven-
tion with Hayti, the French Government having inti-
mated, by an indirect channel, to the President of
Hayti; that France would not persist in asserting the
principle of supremacy over that island.
This declaration, it is added, has had the effect, that
President Boyer has sent a new agent to France. He
has no public character : he is only to confer with •the
principal members of the Government, in order to agree
on the bases of a convention. It is said, however, that

as somas baser are &many laid down, on which the
Government of Hayti can negotiate, the agent will
produce full powers to conclude an arrangement. It
may be expected, that we shall soon be more particu-
larly informed on the subject. Not only in Havre, but
in the other sea-ports of France, great importance 6
attached to this arrangement, which will be highly
interesting to our maritime commerce. At Havre,

'Nantes, l3ottrdeauz, theie have been near meeiingi
of the principal merchants, to deliberate on our com-
mercial relations with the neW Independent American
Statet.
the general is:Urania given by the Government are
,not thought sufficient. It has therefore been deter:-
mined to make fresh representations to it, in order to
obtain the appointment of agents (merely in a corn.;
mercial character), to prbtect the Prehch trade in some
of the ports of those States. It reitiains to be seen what
will be the effect of these representations: In the

French capital, also, there have been similar meetings
of the merchants interested in the trade with South
America. No decision, however, was come to, lietAO4
the proposal to apply directly to the King himself was
approved by some persona, and this mode of proceeding
would hardly lead to the end desired. A general per-
suasion however prevails, that the appointment of
French Commeicial Agents in Colombia, Meico, and
Buenos Ayrei, will take pl-ce as soon as some political
obstacles are removed.

Letters have been received in several sea-port towns
of Franc-, which say that the Eng!is% Cabinet is en-
gaged in s‘ me preliminary measures, the consequence
of which will be the recognition of the independence
of Greece. In France, where the cause of the Greeks
'is in general regarded irith a favourable eye, the deci-
sion of the English Cabinet on the subject is in general
looked for with great anxiety. Our Government, con-
sider: ng its connections with the great Continental
Powers, can hardly act otherwise than in concert with
them, however well disposed it may be to the independ-
ence of the Greeks, as appears from the fact that the
great Greek Committee at Paris enjlys at least the indi-
rect protection of our Cabinet.

We have received the French Papers of Tuesday, and
the Eleik of Wec'nesday's date. They do of•t contain
any intelligence of importance, being chiefly filled with
discussions on M. HYDE DE Iklauviu.g, the Ambassador
to Portugal, having been deprived of thAt appoint-
ment, and placed on the list of Diplomatists waiting
for employment.

The Quotidienne pours forth loud lamentations on
this event, adding censures on the French Ministers in
the most unsparing way, and, with its usual sagacity, in
conclusion, ascribes the act to the submissive policy of
the French Goveriiment to the politics of the British
Cabinet. The Journal des Deiats joins in the virulent
reproaches made to the Ministry for this treatment of
the Ambassador, and accuses them of a dereliction of
their duty, and of treachery to the Royalist cause.

By the arrival of the Alicia in the Clyde, a file of
liarbadoes Papers to the 25th of May has been 're-
ceived. They are principally filled with the proceed-
ings of the Legislature, the Clergy, and the people,
to carry into effect the diffusion of religious know-
ledge after the forms of the E,tablished Church, by
erecting a new Church. So strong is this feeling, that
the Wesleyan Clergyman, sent out to replace Mr.
SHREWSBURY, declined to land, and had proceeded to St.
Vincent's, intending from thence to return to England.

The mat anxious desire is evinced by all classes to
attend, and to get their slaves to attend; the Established
Church. The Bishop and the Established Clergy are
welcomed with enthusiasm on all occasions wherever
they go, not only in Barbadoes, but in all the Wind-
ward Islands where his Lordship had been. He had
also proceeded to visit the Leeward Islands, in the
EDEN, Captain LAWRENCE, accompanied by the Rev.
Mr. PINDER and Mr. CoLzatnaz. The following ate
extracts from these papers:--•
OOVERNOR•OZNERAL WARDS'S REPLY TO THE ADD:IESS
OF THE ASSEMBLY OF BARBADOES, MAY 24,1825.
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Howse V. Assembly,

" It is with feelings of the most sincere pleasure and gratification,
that I receive the address which I have now been honoured with
by your Speaker; the expressions of regret at my departure, and
the strong and unreserved approbation of my administration
of the Government, for the space of nearly four years, and the very
handsome and kind manner in which that approbation has been
delivered to me, will never be obliterated from my memory; and
I trust will be remembered with those feelings which can never be
separated from an honourable mind.

44 It is with the most grateful and sincere feelings that I have to
offer you my thanks for the expressions of your kind wishes for my
return, and more particularly so, as they are coupled with your as-
surance that they are also the wishes of the people at large ; and t

cannot find words sufficiently strong to mark the sense I entertain
of the reiteration of your kind feelings, so strongly, handsomely, and
kindly manifested towards me and my family.
After sack an Address as that which yon have been pleased to
deliver to me this day, and which Address will remain on your
journals, any pecuniary vote, or more substantial memento of the

act, in silver or gold, must ever be considered by me as entirely su-
perfluous, though such a manorial might hereafter bane been
viewed by my children, and children's children, with pride and
pleasure ; bet *r myself, possessing a " mass crawls rem' to ape
and ensertainbeg a peeper sense of the very high value of your
good opinics, sad that of the public at large, so body, so hand-
sonsely, md so unaninsosely preferred. I can, with m honest pride
—and I hope with an equal propristp-derlare, I claim no higher
mend of praise."

" If my administration shall appear to have any pretensions to

'part with you impressed with the deepest sense of the conspicuous

approbation, either here or elsewhere, I must attribute the fortu-
nate and gratifying circumstance to the disposition for harmony
which has prevailed in the community, and which has given riot to
the parti.l view which is now taken of my conduct.
" In quitting the colony for a time, being imperatieely called
