FROM HAYu-

From HaytieD papers to the 18th A
pril, 1t appears that instead or the flstier,
ing aspect which the affairs of that .coun-
try seemed to be assuming, at the las,
intelligence, much apprehension now
prevails concerning the intentions OF
France. IL was lately announced, that
political relations were shortly to be es-
tabIished between France and Hayti, and
this assertion is again repeated, but is
followed by this doubtful and alarming
question sWUl they be friends or foes!'
This is the question, remarks the editor,
which now very properly employs all the
public attention, and which hos undoubi-
edIy been determined before this time in
the cabinet Of the Thuilleries.

representatives, on the 9TH inst. on the
bill to create new stock, in o brief di-
erosion upon the banks, that gentleman

Georgetown, might there find an illus,ra.

Inhabitant of that state, and pursuing the
life of plain former, 1, in common, with
several OF my neighbors, felt anxious TO
know, what fellow citizen had written
SO much about, and accordingly we all
collected around the fire side, when one
of the party was selected to read aloud
for the edifcation and satisfaction of the
rest but judge of our surprise, when
we found, that the sum and substance of
all that he had said was,that certain men,
bers of congress declared in a caucus
proceeding, in Feb. that there were two
parties in this country, the one federal,
the other republican, and that they had
expressed in public manner their de.
cided preference for MIR Crawford as
the next president We were utterly
asionished at his having taken so much
pains 10 tell the public that which even
our little children knew, and we could
only account for the great trouble which
he had taken, from suspicion that nos
Si6iy, he did not altogether like the per.
son nominated; as for instance, that he
had Interior views Of his own TO subserye,
end which might be broken in upon, if
this nomination should succeed--so far
we all concluded, he was right, but al
the same time, we thought the people
ought, and no doubt they would lodge
FOR themselves that they would inquire
why this nomination ola virtuous and pa.
triolic citizen, should give so much un.
'casiness and offence? Why the writer
set himself up as the champion of the fe
tieral party, If there was no longer any
distinction for admitting his own doc

there was no difference in principle there

ness OF expression it ne really felt as he
expressed himself, that party feelings
