Private letters confirm the intelligence that a
committee has been instituted with NJ Laine al its
head, to regulate the account OF indcmnities and
the treaty of commerce which France may propose
to Hay,t previously to the recognition of the indie

resolute determination of the Hayten people to re-
pei attacks, of their unanimty, and the energy of
their chief, will rather appeal negotiation than
the sword The acknowledgement of our indepen-
dence would be concession that would place us at
once place US in the rank of the sovereign nations
OF the earth. That France should, for this benefit
seek to obtain advantages in her favor is what we
are to expect. 1t remains to be seen whether her
proposals Will be compatible with our interests, our
honor Il our future security. This is the question
which the wisdom OF political chief nust resolve
