KINGDOM OF HAYTI.
CAPE HENRY, AUGUST 15.
After twenty-five years of a revolution, which has
ensanguined Europe, and carried its ravages into the
new as well as the old world, the European Powers
have at last concluded a general Peace.
Of the conditions of the Treaty signed at Paris
on the 30th of May we are still ignorant. All
we know is—that a new Constitution, on the princi-
ples of representative government, has been adopted ;
that the ancient dynasty of the Bourbons has been re-
stored, &c. Whatever may be the result uf the late
occurrences in Europe, they deeply interest those na-
tions which have asserted their independence in the
New World, and particularly Hayti, from its politi-
cal and commercial situation. Under these circum-
stances, we think it our duty to perform the task we
have undertaken, by informing our fellow-citizens of
all that interests them, and declaring our opinions---i
oar fears, and our hopes.
A brilliant day of happiness seems to dawn upon
the world ; the glory and renown of a great and mag-
nanimons Sovereign have resounded from the frozen
extremities of the North to our burning and distant
climate.
A nation equally great and generous, a philan-
thropic people, whose valour and enlightened state
have more than once fixed the destinies of the world,
give their beneiolent aid to render nations free and
happy. Will Monarchs, re-established on their thrones,
after being instructed in the school of adversity, do
less than Sovereigns crowned with the wreaths of vic-
tory ? It is natural to think, that, after a long and
cruel experience of heavy misfortunes and dreadful
vicissitudes, after the torrents of blood which have
polluted her soil, France must sigh for the advan-
tages and repose of peace. It is to be presumed that
re-animating principles and liberal ideas must have
excluded the monstrous and devastating system of
conquest, which had brought that country to the
brink of destruction.

The chimerical and ambitious project of univer
sal empire, which tended to the subjugation of every
people, having disappeared with its abominable au-
thor, and the greater part of those men who go-
verned France being doubtless convinced of the illu-
sory nature of their projects, and fatigued by adver-
have, no dinibt, adopted more just and humane
sentiments. Tile need of repaiii:z their losses, and
of restating the prosperity of their families, mast
make them desirous if peace, stability and commerce.
Our implacable enemy no longer exists. The exe-
crable Bonaparte, who in vain endeavoured to exter-
minate us, has been overcome by the efforts of the
Allies. Europe, as fortunate as ourselves, has just
shaken off for ever his tyrannical yoke. We are proud,
of having overcome his satellites, and of never hav-
ing entered into any treaty with him, whatever were
his proposals ; and we may justly congratulate our-
selves in having aided in the liberation of Europe by
our perseverance in repelling his perfidious offers,
and by the valour with which we fought and de-
stroyed his armies.
We never would enter into any treaty with a mon-
ster who wished to exterminate us, or impose on us
that yoke which we have for
,ever cast off. 'No—
never would we hive bowed our heads under that
frightful yoke which we bad broken! never would
we have yielded or have acquiesced in any condition
which would have injured our political rights ; and
we should have preferred extermination to the loss
of that liberty and that independence which we have
gained by twenty-five years of combats, of sacrifices.
and of blood !
With the same rights, we have not the same rea-
sor s for refusing the offers which the Monarch who.
aoverns France may make to our beloved S.,:ayereign,
he n ;t having endeavoured, like Bonaparte, to Lie-
stray and again enslave us. We are even persuaded,
that it sincere pacific proposals were *made to the
Monarch who reigns over US so gloriously, and who
is so mush beloved by his peoide, he would seize
the epport unity et re-establishing, in a solid and du,
rable manner, connexions of commerce and alliance
comp el:le with the safety and independence of his
kingdom.
A treaty of commerce with one of the camtner-
cial States af Europe could not but be advantageous
both to us and the contracting party. A slight
glance on. Hayti would 'prove the advantages of
such a treaty. Who is better able to ananage such a
negocia'.i..a than he witetu wisdom, discernment, and
entire devotion to the good sit the Haytians, have se
often distinguished, in the most critical moments—
than him whose truly great and Royal character,
whose candour and good faith are the surest guaran-
tees of treaties ?
If we desire the advantages and reposi of peace,
we neither fear fatigues nor war with all its horrors.
If, in conviqUence of a false and imprudent policy,
and of absurd speculations, dictated by sordid and
'rapacious interest, our enemies should again pollute,
our territory by their appearance on our shores, let
our towns suddenly vanish, and the wholenation rise
in arms/
Should certain Colonists, our implacable enemies,
still'persist in their chimerical projects, and succeed,
in prevailing upon the actual Government of France
to carry on war against us, let them place themselves
at the head of tne invaders ; they shall be the first
victims of our vengeance! We shall give no quar-
ter—we shill take no prisoners: we desire to be treated
in the same way ourselves, and the war must become
a war of extermination. We shall then manifest to
the whole world the sacrifices we are capable of mak-
ing in defence of our wives, our children, our liber-
ties and independence.
Haytians !—Animate your hearts with all the en-
thusiasm and energy which are the guarantees of vic-
tory ! Remember the horrible, barbarous, and per-
fidious treatment we have suffered ! Shall our coun-
try be once more laid waste ? Shall we ourselves be
degraded by the base traffickers in human flesh into
herds of cattle, to be sold or slaughtered as the inte-
rest or caprice of our oppressors may dictate ? If
We cannot secure to out country the full and perma-
nent enjoyment of the precious blessings of hberty, of
independence, rather let our • country be converted
into a vast desart, 'or au immense burial-grand

where heaps of dead bodies, tomposed of ourselves
and our enemies. may attest to future ages our glory
and their Punishment!
During the eleven years we have enjoyed indepen-
dence, we have carefully cultivated the best means
of nation4l defence ; we have been 'constantly occu-
pied in constructing impregnatele fortresses on the
summits of our inaccessible rocks, and in providing
them with formidable artillery. The citadel Henry
alone (eternal monument of the glory, the genius,
and the love of his Majesty for his people !) is sup-
plied with provisions and warlike stores of all kinds
for a considerable period. This celebrated fortress,
erected on the top of the Ferrieres, unequalled in the
New World by the immensity of its works, is with-
out a rival in Europe, witk respect to its inaccessible
situation and its vast and tremendous rocks. This
bulwark of independence is of itself equivalent to an
army of one hundred thousand men.
Our troops of the line are completely organised
and disciplined, our brave militia, both of the towns
and the country, from the age of twelve to sixty, are
in arms, and ready to co-operate with the army in
the destruction of the common enemy on the first
signal of attack. We are perfectly acquainted with
the most essential points of our defence, as well as
with the nature of the war which may be carried on
against us. Whilst our regular troops will be em-
ployed in the defence of our fortresses, and the passes
and defiles in the mountains, our militia shall signa-
lise their patriot6m and their courage by multiplying
all the stratagems of war, by lying in ambush, by
unexpected and rapid ateicks, by cutting off the
roads, by barricading the narrow passages, and by
posting Ihemselves in advantageous positions, from
whence, without any danger to themselves, they may
be enabled to annoy, confound, and'deal havoc and.
destruction among their invaders.
Hay tians ! War is nothing to us, conducted and
guided by the great man whom Divans PROVIDENCE
has !,ciit to watch over our destinies. Let our regard;
be continually turned towards him ; let him be at all
times our in lghet and our rallying point ; then we
shall be invincible. Oh, my friends ! how glorious
is it to die for one's King an.l country, and leave to
posterity an unblemished reputation, and the recol-
lection of an honourable death. _ _

t is in vain that our tyrants shall entertain t!ie
foolish hope of disuniting us. Their appearance will
be the signal of our union. Who is there that c: in
now decrtve us respecting our true inter s!..s ? Who
can Le deluded by the deceitful promises of an enemy
whom we tow by experience ? No, no ! if we must
be at v.-tr, let us be all ext:rminated, or let us be free
aud iatiltendent.—Pine le R,i, live la Li7,erti, Svc
find peaddece ! Signed by order,
