THE
Declaration of Independence

wv E have no authentic copy OF this most
w important state paper, the very basis
that supports tue proud column OF American
liberty none, al least, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, for moment, with satistac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHAR Ia, though every provi-
sion it contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splesdid than its predecessor.-
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this fine copy OF Magma
Charta has been excelied by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes of the seals and
signatur eshave made every reader OF taSte
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art at the period in question, butwith
the literary attainments, also, OF King Johl,
King Henry, and their g BaEons bold"
Surely the Declaration Of American indie
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and il the fac.similes OF the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify curiosity, at least as laudabe as that
which calls tor limitations of the correspon-
dents of Junius OF of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the re!uc-
ant monarchs of the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles OF our Declaration OF !ndepen-
aence are spread out before the eyes OF the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as well as our own and eve
ry innocent and honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause of public H.
berry. Such an embe!lishededition AS will
renderit an ornament to 40 apartment, will
have tendency to spread the kn 'wledee OF
its contents, among those who world other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject. Such an edition will
serve 10 place it continually under the eye
IF man. woman, and child in a fanily-it
will associate the pleasurable ideas Of ele-
gance and ornament with the history Of the
Transaction itself and familiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement of political society,"
Nor is it of small moment that such an edf-
ton, we'll executed will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us al
the present day. Actusted by these views,

REVOLUTION IN HAYTL

hEtV OASO AAOAr AN AAA 80
BY Capt. PousIand, from Cape Henry,
further particulars are received of the late
revolution 10 Hayti; and 10 John Dodge,
ESQ. we are indebted for the Port au
Prince Telegraph Of the 18th Oct and
several printed documents which the rev.
oIu.ion had given rise to, (received from
bis friends by this ARRIVAL from which
we have made lranslations as below.
The revolution commenced at Cape
Henry, Oct. 9, among the troops, 5000
10 number. They revolted 10 the evening
OF that day, and marched Immediately
under the Duke Marmalade, governor of
Cape Henry, 10 Autacsp, seven miles
from the Cape, where they encamped.
Christophe, who had been confined for
some time at the palace ct Sans Sonci,
with paralytic affection, OF receiving
news OF this event, had bis guards, 1900
in number, assembled 10 front Of the pal
ace; he was carried out before them, and
addressed them in an animated manner,
offering them liberal rewards to encourage
them TO march Immediately TO oppose the
rebels. They marched ;.;:de= Prince
Joachim to a bridge opposite the camp of
the rebel troops with the cries Of Vive
lie Roy" The rebels replied with cries
Of" Vive Ia Liberty, vive la Republique,"
&c. The Prince then ordered his troops
to fire, bat they refused, and after renew
ing the order two or three times the
Prince left them, and retcrned to the
King, with Information Of the state of
things, aud The royal guards Immediately
went over to the revolted army. The
King, on receiving the news, said if he
could not trust his guards, he could not
confde in any body, and Immediately sho.
himself with two pistols, in his breast and
head, and died instantly 10 bis palace.
The few troops who remained with the
King, then took possession of the Palace
Of Sans Soaci, which they stript and
plandered Of every valuable article; they
also took all the cattle, &c. They refused
to bury christophe, and bis body was left
exposed on the road
Onthe 18th OF October, the revolt hav-
ing become general among the troops and
people. eight OF Christophe's officers were
killed at Cape Henry. Among these
were the Prince ROYAL. Prince Joachim.
and Baron Batiee. The Prince Royal
and Baron Battee begged for life, but
Prince Joachim said, while he had man
left he would fight for the king. On the
26th Of October President Boyer, at the
head OF 10000 troops entered the city,
which he styled the city Of Cape Hayti;
the Constitution was Immediately pro-
claimed. the officers sworn to support it.,
aud the city restored to complete traR-
|quillity. The wife aud children Of Chris
|tophe we're at Cape Hayti, under the
protection Of Boyer.
The troops behaved extremely well,
after the arrival Of Boyer, aud every
thing was conducted with perfect order.
rbe officers we're qnartered upon the cit
liens; the men in the barracks and pub
lie places.
The people we're highly elated at the
change, aud the popularity Of the new
government was unbouDded. The per-
sonage formerly styled the Duke Of Mar
melade was re-aPpointed governor Of the
Cape.
