FROM HAYTI.

FRoNl Hal l..
Haytian paper of the 18th Oct has the
following paragraph:
Wes see with the greatest satisfaction aud
most lively interest, that the damages which
the lightning occasioDed at the Citadel Henry,
Oh the 10Th Aug. are repaired with Incredible
activity. Already great part OF the galleries
OF the upper batteries, which had fallen from
the effect OF The explosion, have been replaced,
and IN a short time no traces will be left of the
disaster" -
In a paper of the 9Th November, alludiDg 10
some accounts of the extensive ruins of the
explosion. the paper says the repairs are H.
nished Al single glance ii is easy TO deter.
mine this fact. The extreme elevation of the
Citadel, ard the height of its walls made it
seen for twenty leagues around. The vessels
ttdt pass OH our coast Will enable ali on board
TO see with iheir own eyes not only that the
citade' has suffered 10 loss. but that The houses
are rebuff, II are more solid than before. And
that the event, lar from being Gisadvantageous,
has been beneficial, and the evil has proved
good, as it has obliged 10 correct what was
before the most deficient.
In the papers from Hayti, we see ohserva-
lions upoI The progress of society. The OPT
mon OF faichnaCr Is Thus expressed. " 1t is to
The progress of civilization and the circum.
stances which accompany il, that we mist
attribute the difference IN government, the
manners, or habits, tliat we observe among
nations, rather than to climates, and races, tc
which we assign too great Influence. II the
people have subjected those OF the Sontb the
Romans, the Arabs. and Egyptians, have had
their coUquests from Seuth TO North" The
last paragraph of quotation is" We can
hardly consider sixth part of the habitable
globe as possessed by nations who cultivate the
earth and are civilized. And even in this num-
Der, what different shades and yarious de
grees of civilization. Europe alone seems
to have reached this state, aud even in Eu,ope
