REPUBLIC OF HA I'll

We have received an official Proclamation, by
President BOYER, respecting the late insurrectionary
movements in Hayti. It does not bring down events
so late as the accounts with which we were yesterday
furnished by the American Papers. To this Procla-
mation we add an extract from a Private Letter, con-
taining some interesting particulars of what occurred
at Gonaives:

PROCLAMATION.
JILAW maim sorra, eaasamorr Or HAUL
HAYTIANS!—The reign of terror is just extin-
guished; the dominion of Justice diffuses peace and
joy in the North, and, with the exception of a few
perverse individuali, throughout the whole mass of
the People of Hayti; henceforth forming one family,
united by the bonds of sweet fraternity.
Ambition, which could not behold without vex-
ation the Republic advancing with rapid strides in
the career which must have led to the highest degree
of prosperity, became agitated in every way ; and, in
its rage, seizing the firebrand of discord, endeavoured
to kindle civil war in the bosom of our country.
" The slaves of Christophe, men who consoled
themselves for the degrading humiliation in which
they were themselves held, by crushing their too un-
fortunate fellow-citizens under the weight of the most
shameful oppression—thee men beheld with a sort
of horror the happy change which was to annihilate
their titles and privileges, and put a period to their
feudal despotism. They regarded with repugnance
and disdain that benevolent system of equality which
placed them, in the eye of the law, on a. level with
those whom they had been accustomed to look upon
as their inferiors.
" In vain did the liberal and equitable Government
of the Republic overwhelm them with benefits ; in
vain did it assure to them the enjoyment of every ad-
vantage not inconsistent with the Constitution of the
State; personal interest and vanity prevailed in their
hearts over every sentiment of duty and gratitude.
" From the very first moments which succeeded
the union of the North to the Republic, they inces-
santly plotted to overthrow the new order of things.
Their criminal machinations succeeded in misleading
a few feeble minds ; and when they thought them-
selves in a situation to act, they attempted the execu-
tion of their execrable project.
" Their plan was extensive; the movement agreed
upon by the conspirators was to set tire to the Cape
Haytien, the Gonaives, Saint Marc, and the quarter
of the Artabonite. •
" To create an apparent motive for the insurrection
which they wished to excite, the conspirators adroitly
circulated reports, tending to alarm the citizens, re-
specting the intentions of the Government, and to di-
minish the confidence it was calculated to inspire.
" But the fate of Hayti was irrevocably fixed !—A
protecting Genius watched over her, and warned the
Government of the dark deeds of those who meditated
her ruin !—Their plots have vanished before the pru-
dent measures which were adopted to frustrate them.
" At St. Marc, the courage and presence of mini
of General Marc, and Adjutant-General Constant
Paul, have stifled the rebellion in its birth. The per-
fidious Colonel Paulin, of the Bth Regiment, part of
which he had seduced, abandoned almost immedi-
ately by his troops, has been mortally wounded, and
given up to General Marc. The General of Division,
Bonnet, who during these events proceeded by order
of the Government to this place, has greatly contri-
buted, by the precision of his operations, to tranquillize
the minds of the Citizens, and to quell the factious.
" At Cape Haytien, General Mag. nay gave brilliant
proofs of his patriotism, foresight, and energy.—
Through his efforts, General Richard, one of the
principal leaders of the conspiracy, and several Offi-
cers, his accomplices, were seized on the 25th of Fe-
bruary, and sent to Port-au-Prince, where they fell
beneath the sword of the law.
" Finally, at Gonaives, the only place where the
insurrection had made any progress, it was quelled
in a few days • the greater part of the insurgents are
dispersed; General Dossons, one of their Chiefs, has
been taken ; it will probably not be long ere General
Joseph Jerome falls into the hands of the troops who
are dispatched to pursue him.
" Like the rock against which the howling waves
break, the Republic, ever firm and steady, has re-
sisted the shock of the factious. On every point the
sacred cause which we defend has triumphed; every
where the efforts of malevolence have been rendered
unavailing, and have served only to unmask and
expose the perturbators andenemies of order.
44 Haytians! You have witnessed the generosity
and moderation of the Government; you shall also
witness its justice and its firmness. It is time to cast
from us and to banisb all the elements of anarchy
and disorder which have threatened our tranquillity.
The wish not to confound the misled man with his
instigator has hitherto withheld the arm of the Go-
vernment; but indulgence further prolonged would
be imprudence. When Revolution dares openly to
shew her hideous head, we must hasten to strike and
to crush her!
The conduct of Generals Magny, Bonnet, Marc,
and Constant Paul, is worthy of praise. They have ful-
filled the duty which honour imposed on them ; they
have justified the confidence of the Government, and
acquired titles to the esteem of the nation.
4. Harlan.; ! Be more than ever united! Rally
round the tree of Liberty ! Repel the. perfidious insi-
nuations of those who seek to divide you, in order to
deprive you of your independence, which you have
purchased by so many sacrifices.'
.. Ever repose the greatest confidence in the Chief
of the State, the sole object of whose solicitude is to
consolidAte the bulwark of your happiness;—Niue la
Republique!
" Given at the National Palace of Port-au-Prince, on the Bth
of March, 1821, the 18th year of Independence. " BOYER.

Friday, the 25th February, it was privately ru-
