An address from the Council of EayS To
Christophe.
The answer of king Christophe, who says, a
mong other things, alluding to an expect
ed expedition from France:
Hay.ians Your sentiments, your reso-
luton, are worthy Of us. Your King shall al
ways be worthy of you. Our Indignation Is
full. Let Hayti, from this instant become -
vast camp. Let MS prepare to combat these
Tyrants, who threaten MS with irons, slavery
and death. Haytians, the Whole universe
have their eyes fixed on US. Our conduct
ought to confound our calumniators, and justt-
fly the opinion that philanthropists lave CON-
ceived of us. Let us rally, and have but
single WISH, that OF DISCRIMINATING our Ty-
rants. Upon the perfect unaniInlty OF our u
Mon, and of our efforts, will depend tbs
prompt success of our cause. Let us give to
posterity grand example OF courage. Lee
us fight with glory. Let us be ehAced from
the rank OF human beings, rather than re-
nounce Liberty and Independence. King
We will live and die King You shall see us
always at your hssl, partaking your perks
and dangers. If 1t shaii happen that we shall
cease to be, before having consolidated your
rights, remember our actions and it our Iy-
rants come to put in danger your Liberty and
Independence, take my banes from the tomb
and they shall again guide you to victory, and
cause you to triumph over our imp.dcabie &
eternal enemies"
The cries were thousand times repeated
of " Yive le Roi ! Pive Henry ! Y,ve Lnde-
henfemoe /! Yive le II fs1'def0- de "a Liberte 2
Guerre mort AUG TUronS"
1t appears that Potion has Indignantly re-
jected Chrstophe's overtures to unite and
come under his (C's) Government /; and the
mobiles of the latter are endeavorng to induce
Petion's subjects to revolt, and depose him.

Yesterday arrived III Town, Captain SAmu-
el Briggs, first lieutenant. and Mr. D vid Au-
gustus Neil clerk, of the late Dionede priv4-
teer OF this port after long Confinement IN
Dartmoor Prison, England. They arrived II
Long Island in the Russian Ship Pr. Michael,
from Liverpool for y. York, Which they left
on Sunday noon, and came into Newport in a
fishing boat.
The French ship L'Amiable, Esther, sent
into England by British frigate, was i'm
metdately released and had sailed for Hol-
land.
The above mentioned gentlemen request

they left Dartmoor Prison, $500 Americans
were detained there, Qncuding about 1900
given up from British ships of war } that no
prisoners, with the exception of some few
who had obtained special permission, were
released and although the ratification of The
treaty was received the 18th of March, MIR.
k. q. 8casley, American agent of prisoners
OF war, had then taken up only vessels, =
bout 600 TONS for the conveyance of the
prisoners to the United States These YES
sells would take about 100, and being in
London, could not be expected to be ready TO
receive the prisoners at Plymouth before the
18th April. How long the remainder of the
prisoners were to languisSt in the miseries of
prison it is impossible to say for no further
arrangements were known to have been
made for their release, and Mr.. Beasley,
with his usual disregard of the feelings, and
interest of she Prisoners in Dartmoor, had
maintained the most Suilen and comtemptuous
silence, and had refused them the least salts
faction upon those subjects, in which it must
be supposed their feelings we've most deeply
interested. The dissatisfaction occasioned
by so long detention after their countrymen
were enjoying the blessings of peace, no
doubt gave rise to the attempt (noticed in the
London papers,) made by the prisoners on
the On April, to break through the gates
OF the prison, in which 6 to IL OF them were
stated to have been killed, and 80 wound

that country.
May 81.
The Baltimore papers inforneus that six
per cent war stock is in demand at that place

Notes were above par, and that no stock is
hkely to be hereafter sold by the Treasury at
a snge cent below par. IT'S done The
long agony 10 oUeT. Public credit is resto-
red.
There IS something very shocking in the ac-
count, given In the London papers of the
scene which lately took place at Dartmooy'
Prison, in England. If the particulars are cor
rectly stated, they present a very suspicious
aspect, C subject the British authorities to the
imputation OF reyengeful barbarty. Daily ez-
Perience teaches us, however, that there is
little reliance to be placed on British news-
paper statements =; and we therefore look
with itnpaticnce for some official account Of
the circumstances Of this event For this rea1
son, we now refrain from the remarks we
should otherwise make on the occasion &
tor this reason, too, we defer the publication
OF the communication ct a CORE pondent, who
calls Tor Vengeance on the perpetrators of
Whathe appears to consider dastardly out
rage. Whilst ON this subject, we will lust OBJ
serve that we should be gid to see Mr.. Beas-
lcy's Conduct indicated by those who have
1t in their power to remove those iniu rious
impressions which the articles in the British
papers, and some statements published, are
otherwise calculated TO make on the public
mind Under present conviction, we cannot
but believe that great injustice is done to this
gentleman, Of whom we nave always heard
very favorable character.

On the 26th, the states of Wurremburg adj
dressed to the ministry very temperate but
Lresoute and manly remonstrance
This document which is very long, states that
the superiority OF the ancient constitution of
Wurtamburg to thai now proposed by the king
reminds his pajesty of his solemn oath at his ac.
cession, to preserve this constitution nvioIate
that the change made in 1895, when the German
constitution was abolished, was not approved by
The States but merely tolerated in the hope of
better times one day returning, and in the most
urgent and pathetic manner entreats his majesty
10 give his people those rights and Liberties, to
which their sacrifices and sufferings so Justly en-
Cite them. Among the documents annexed to
this remonstrance, - picture of the gr evanc.es
of the country consisting of one hundred SHEETS,
which shews most clearly, that ever since 1906,
WurembTs has hecn the most miserable couil-
try in Germany
His majesty m answer 10 tbs, regrets that h
intention of giving the country lib raj consttu-
ton was not approved by the stale, tells them
that afurihe' examination will require a tong
INC, and dissoives the assembly, desiring the
charge some OF their members TO confer wth
