FMIGRANTS TO HAYTI,

Baltimore, November 15.-The ship Ar
mata has been chartered at this port to take
out three hundred emigrants for Hayti. That
complement was Immediately made up, and
forty or fifty applications above that number
were rejected, as the vessel did not afford ac-
commodations for more. This emigration
consists of some of the most respectable CO.
Toured people in this place, many of whom
have left their wives, children and families
in Baltimore. with an intention of revisiting
this place early in the spring, and returning
with them if their expectations are realized.

BY these accounts it will appear that war
between these two powers will certainly take
place, preparations are making the part ofthe
former to repossess themselves of that island, or
make, VI ct a,'mis, an advantageous treaty. The
London Courier of the 9TH October, publishes an
extract of letter from France, which states that
$4,000 men were ordered for brest, soon after the
dismissal of the Haytien Commissioners, and en-
barked on the 28th of August, and sailed to join
Admiral Duperre off Martinique. There were
more troops to be taken up, and the whole to go
to st. Domingo. 1t WAS intended to get posses
sion of some strong places, on healthy parts Of
the coast, and then enter into negotiations. If
necessary, strong reinforcemcnts would come
from France, and blockade would be commcnc-
cd by the feet.-A communication was made to
Engand but the Courier says, only to apprizc
the King,of the sailing of troops to relieve the
gariisons in the West indies
The Times of the following day doubts the
correctness of the above letter, and contradicts
the report ola French fleet sailing forth Island;
but we have accounts from Cape liaytien to o.
bout the 25tl ult. which state that great prepa-
ratlons were there making, foran expected inva.
sion by the French; and also letters from Porto
Rico, dated Oct. i9th, which state that a French
fleet was seen standing down between the ISL
ands Of St. Lucas and Dominique. These last
accounts We think, viii corroboTlte the statement
Of the letter published in the Courier.

Of the French Governmental re-posscsson of
this Island it is believed it never can effect. The
IIayten Government from its infancy, notwith
standing intestine commotions, which shook ii tc
its base, have ever bcen accustomed to look up
on France as a natural enemy, from whom they
might at any time expect an Invasion, and the,
have lost no time in making every provision fo
such an event, by iortfyng the Island, and placing
Themselves in the best posture of defence

In the House of commons on the 25th Mr.. Can

Bill on the next day, and hoped that no consi-

In the same sitting, Sir J. Macintosh with
drew the notice of the motion he had given res
pecting South America. He states as his rca-
sons for this step. that he heard two important
declarations made by Ministers of the Crown.
The second of these declarations was in sub
stance, s. that any considerable armament from
the ports Of Spain, during the occupation of that
country by the French army, agiust the South
American States, would be regarded as not be-
ing Spanish expedition, and consequently as
coming within the principles laid down in the
closing despatch of the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs to Sir Charles Stuart last year, He
states that the declaration had made an impress
sion on luis mind, and had supplied what he con-
sidered an omission and explained an apparent
ambiguity in the papers laid before the House.
AS this declaration had narrowed the ground on
which any immediate and practical measure
could rest, it was, in his opinion, very unadvisa-
BILE at the present moment to perscvcre in a
motion which might be understood in Europe &
in America, to imply that the intentions Of the
British Government were mistrusted. Heart
He also alluded to another declaration from a
private source, which had some influence on hi:
determination. was, that great Power Of
| the Continent had declined to be party of the
threatened congress on the subject of the South
| American states Henoticed the ambiguous Ian

OF bringing the question forward, If he should

Mr.. Secretary Canning made few remarks,
IN which he said he should consult his duty in
abstaining from any remarks upon what had
been stated. He, however begged the house to
bear in mind, that he wished to be Judged by
the explicit declarations which he had himself
made, when the subject came before them, in
the regular course of debate, and not by any
construction put by his honorable and learned
TREND, upon declarations which had been made
elsewhere, and which he Mr.. Canning) neither
