Chitian and Colombian Bonds to-day, the former having risen

We have accounts from Hayti to-day, which give a melan-
choly picture of that free black republic, which- Seems retro-
Irrading, with forty emancipation power, to natural savageness.
the streets of Port au; Prince are stated to be covered• with
grass-t and impassable for carriages—the houses falling rapidly
into decay—the palace of the former intendant uuriinfed, and
an immense tree gmwn up from the earth, through the very
centre of the building—the inhabitants were indolent, squalid
and wretched, and assassinations were common, after dark'
within half a mile of the town. The whole description is most
deplorable. . _

By the latest accounts from Persia we find that civil war con-
tinued to rage these, and that there still remained in the field
five pretenders to the Persian throne. The Russian minister
at Teheran, the Count de Simonich, had left that place for
--Tanris. It was generally understood that a strong body of Rus-
sian. troops was advancing towards the frontiers of Georgia, for
the purpose of occupying the provinces of Erivan, until the new
:government should—have given sufficient guarantees.. for the
payment of ,t-lse contributiods of war which the late Schah
agreed to pay to Rugsia bey dullest t+eaty ofpeace he concluded
with the latter power. Ttherari had become the teat of great
disorder, and assassinations were committed daily in great
numbers. The English envoy, Col. Carnpbell,: however, still
remained there, and had sent off, by different routes, despatches
to our, government for further instructions. It was. beyond
doubt, however, that long before tile replies could reach home
the province of Erivan, one of the most fertile in Persia, would
be totally ruined.
By advices from Alexandria we learn that the recent visit of
the Pacha to Lower Egipt had fully confirmed the favourable
hopes respecting' the cotton clop, which was estimated as high
as 330,000 to 310,000 quintals. No less than 180,000feddans of
land had-been appropriated last year for the exclusive cultiva-
tion of cotton. 'llse administrator of Egyptian commerce had
already paid the balanee'srpon the first products, which could i
not earlier be delivered to the purchasers in consequence of the
deficiency of the crop of 18.33.. The price of cotton this year,
as well as the mode of sale; had not been fixed, but the princi-
pal European met chants were :}bout to procceifto Cairo to see
the Pacha. The price, would ;,pica. be regsilated„by, the price
currents of the different places,' and the ~sno3e of purchase be
fixed by the Pacha.. - . . .

By accounts from St. Thomas's we lege thitt. tbe governor-
generals Von Scholton, on his separatimf -from ,that sand for
Denmark, had left for the' consideration Of thC7cueneil a pro-
ject for the emancipation of the negroes in the. Danish islands.
It was-proposed that one day in addition to Sunday shotild be
allowed them for the first year, and they were to.hire themselves
out at the rate of two, bits, which motley was to be deposited in
the Country 'Treasury. In the second year two days were to
be allowed, three days in the third year, and so on until the
six days had been obtained. The money paid into the Trea-
sury, was then to be returned to the owners as a compensation
An-id. This measfire hail, however, met with great opposition.
