KINGDOM OF HAYTI.

A letter in the Gazette of Nuremberg contains some
account of Hayti, the situation of which is represent-
ed by the writer, from Eersonal knowledge, in a more
favourable light than some of the 'foreign Journals
would have us believe. The following is the conclu-
sion of the letter

• " The Army consists at present of 40,000 troops,
well armed and clothed ; with excellent cavalry and
a good corps of artillery. The country is in"s-uch a
state of defence, that no attack could be made with
any hope of success. Even the English, nctwith.'
standing their superiority at sea, would not now be
dile'toobtain firm footing in St. Domingo. Reidy.
money is in abundance in Hayti. The smallest coin
is in our (German) money nine good groschen. The
very advantageous commerce of the Island is almost
wholly in the hands of the United States of America,
which supply the inhabitants with all they want.—
lAmerican ships are constantly seen in the ports.
" No Government enjoys such esteem at the Court
of Hayti as the American. It is, according to the
King's own expression, the best in the world, and the
only one which respects the rights and independence
of Nations, not out of interest, but upon principle.—
But the American Government, though nothing is
equal or even comparable to it for its excellence, is,
he says, not adapted for Hayti, because the different
degree of civilization makes a difference in the Con-
stitution necessary.—' Should the Haytiam,' he often
says, one day spew that they can take an honour-
able place among nations, and be then worthy of
freedom, my successors, if they are wise, as I hope
they will be and act accordingly, will be sensible of
the necessity of restoring to the People those rights
which I have attaLhed.to the Throne, for the better
maintenance of order, peace, act; concord.'"
