Alas! that wholesome policy was abandoned in
the very moment of its fruition. The malignity
of party drove the timid Representative from his
post, and the credulity of the public listened to
delusive talcs told by British pensioners and par-
tisans.
The mask is now off, and every silly eypecta-
lion ef redress from British justice is defeated.
No more do we hear it urged, that Mr. Jetler-
sno could have settled amicably nine months ago.
The dupes wito gave in to this doctrine now per-
ceive they are entrapped, and acknowledge that
perfidy which we have so lung and so unavail.
ingly predicted. But months, perhaps years of
embarrassment must atone for their credulity and
precipitation. Britain is now supplied—she is
no longer dependant—her hungry traffic, once
'destittite of the memos of seppurt, and her ex.
tended navy once in want of stores, has now a tem.
porary supply.
Shall we increige a hope, from the unanimity
which seems-to prevail, that there are yet mea.
sures of 'Vengeance in store for es that may reach
the vitals of the common enemy of mankind ?
`Every eye that we meet is marked with con-
trition, or glistens with resentment. England
is apparently without an advocate. There are,
indted, those who lisp something like palliation
for her conduct. The Editor oldie Evening Post,
who has fur years been the constant and uneetts_
lug apolop,ist fur England, has already laboured
-titeoatet three lung Essays, under the title of
" The Case fairly and calmly considered," to
convince the nation, that if. Mr. Erskine has ex-
ceeded his orders, the Ministry of England aro
not bound by his act'.
There is scarcely an ident in creation who would
fors moment believe that the British Ambassador
had snrpassed his instructions. No, it is worse
than perfidy float can thus misrepresent it. He dared
not contravene them—he could not have miscon_
calved them—the proposition was specific and de-
Ilemo2e !sour Non-intercourse, and roe
will reintale our Or4ers in Council." This is a
subject ou which there can be no ambiguity—it is
clear and distinct as the sun ,at noon day. Nay,
GcOrernmeetty it is said, have seen Mr. Erskine's
instructions; time after time, assurances have
been given by tb.at Minister, that his arrange-
ments would be finally adhered to, whatever might
occur previous to their passage to England. Can
there be any doubt of his instructions, when, at-
ter promulgating the new Orders in Council, issued
in April, and which excited a degree of alarm, Mr.
Erskine still persisted in the declaration, that the
preliminary arrangements would be ratified, when
kno:rn? Stupid, iettorant, or iniquitoui must
he be, who can answer affirmatively.
It is in vain to exptq't aught but injustice from
the prosent Ministry of England.

Envoy, and concledes si it h an earnest recommendation to the
invernment of the United States not to treat with Mn,, simi-

NEW YORK, Jece 28.
By the British ship, William &Fining, we hare
received Port-au-Prince papers to the let instant,
from which we have translated the following ar.
tide :

Front the Porl-atz-Prince Gazette of Jay 1, 1809.
Extract of a letter from a native Haytian at
St. Domingo, to his friend in this place (Port-au.
Prince), dated June 16.

" After the long siege we hive sufferel, and having Main*
red all the calamities stoat-he:l thereto, reduced to the food
of every species of animal that coup he found, and the small
partials of stale pro%isions we ha•i nu hand, ne have at last
been obliged to surrender to the British, who blockaded our
part, and prevented our receiving any .upplies.
" The terms of capitulation are, that the French are fo de-
liver np the tawa, with all its ammunition, goes. &c. and the
Fatalists ri,e to furnish venTl, to transport toe !'reach garrison
to Lumpy."
