Accounts from Hayti, St. Domingo, dated Nov.
19, state, that Christophe had issued a Proclamation,
contradicting, in the most unequivocal terms, the re-
ports of an intention, upon his part, to disturb the
peace of Hayti, and expressing his fixed resolution to
cultivate agriculture, commerce, peace, and civili-
zation. Ile says in his Proclamation, that he was
on a visit with his family to his different departments,
when the death of Petion took place, and he made
an offer to the citizens of that part of the Island over,
which Petion presided, to" unite with that which he,
governed, and to become one nation under his re.,
gime, as it was under the rule of Dessalines. under
whom Christophe had been brought up. But he
made no efforts to coerce them. They refused .the'
invitation, elected Boyer for their President, and
thins remained as they formerly were.
The Proclamation next states, that the character
of Christophe had been grossly misrepresented. In-,
stead of seizing all kinds of tretchazdize, as repre-
sented by the Americans trading to his dominions,
there was not a country in the civilized world that
the property and the pursuits of bus;ness, particu-
larly those of foreigners, were protected better than
in Hayti ; nor was there any place where religion,
education, the arts and sciences, could be better
encouraged according to the means possessed. The
laws were faithfully and impartially exec,lted ; but
the violation of them was promptly and severely
punished.. The Government was wholly Monarchical,
and the King suffered no one but his Ministers to inter-
fere in affairs of State.. All oil:is personal cruelty and
savageness were, therefore, the fabrication of enemiespi
reported by credulity and prejudice. He had estala•
lished schools and charitable institutions, of almosii
every kind, for their comfort and happiness, so that
they should be enlightened above the ordinary de-,
gree of their fellow-creatures. He then invites ii
diem to keep to the cause they had begun, and not
(as when St. Domingo was in revolution, and the
reach were carrying . devastation and massacre I
before them throughout the Island) to fly, like'
cowards, but to face their enemies, and to keep their
, ground.—." Then," says the Proclamation, "will Ilea
you on, and in me you shall find the heart of a lion;
and the soul of a man. Let your colours fly trium-
phant over all our territories, and our motto be—
This is Me Lead of Liberty. I deplore the loss of
my rival Chief, Peewit, who was so heloved by thii
troops he commanded." Ile then entreats' them ttr,
study their domestic affairs, but to keep themselves
in readiness, that, when an enemy treads upon their
dominions, with him at their heads, he may crush

•
them or perish.
The dominions of Cliristophe and Boyer contain
a population something near 300,000, which is con-
tinually increasing, by emigration from the United
States And the English and French Islands. Each
has about 1;0)000 troops and those ur.thr Christophe
arc wc.ll d6cipliaed, and fiat maws.
