i me voting lady 1t the window, ceess,oA-

Duchess Of Kingston, to concert an inter
view. From this time frequent meetings
" ere secured at the house of Mr.. perh'
ryu, of KDightsbrige, who was believe,
Miss Lightfoot's uncle.
"The Court Is said to have taken alarm
at these circumstances and Mss Chud,
leigh, seeing the danger likely to ensue,
privately offered to become medium OF
getting the young lady married. With this
view she got acquainted with person
who was friend of the Ligbttoot family,
named AFFORD. This person consented to
pay his addresses to Miss Llghtfoot, and
even nommally TO marry her, upon assur-
ance of receiving with her considerable
dover. Miss Ligbttoot is supposed to
have given 10 to this plan: Tor she was
married at Keith's Chapel, in 1884, tho
the marriage was never consummated; ior
Miss Cbudelgb, who had cOntrived the
match, jprobabIy with the sanction OF all
parties) took her into coach, as she came
out OF The church door, and the husband
pocketed the dover, but never saw his
wife afterwards. The mother, indeed,
heard from the daughter once or twice be-
fore she died, and AFFORD made inquiries
after her at Weymouth, Windsor and
ksw--and once IS even said 10 nave pre-
sen.ed petition to The klug on bus knees,
as HI. Majesty was riding one day, 10 81
James's Park; but no certain account, OF
her was ever known from the period OF
her marriage day.
She was taken, It is supposed, under
the protection OF Prince George, under
an assumed name, and IS said to have had
daughter, subsequently married to a
gentleman OF the name oil Dalton or Dals'
ton, who slterw ards received an appoint
meu, fro The East India Company IN
Bengal, whilhe, b. went, and where ne
died leaving 'bree daughters.
'Nr. Axioid, IN IN meantime, not
hearing any thing oil his vile, and proba'
bly, considering MS marriage not slrIc'ly
binding, since II had never been consum'
mated, married another lady named Bart.
lett, then llvlng at Keevll, ~ North Wilt
shire; aud after The expiration Of So years,
died, without ever being able TO obtain a.
ny intelligence OF bis first bride.
"Three things are very remarkable IN
the history of this lady, VIZ: that she was
never personally known to the public;
that her residence, while alive, was never
personally known; and that so strict Sc
crscy was observed at her death, that 1t IS
no where upon record known, though 1t
has been said that she died OF grief in the
parish OF st. James, and vas buried. un-
der ieigned name, in the parish OF lsllng'
ton, where probably she may rest without
a stone TO tell the history either OF her lite,
death, guilt, innocence, 'plendor, or mis-
fortune"
HAYTI.
The editors Of the N. Y. Daily Ad.
vertiser nave received Haytien papers
to the ed May, but they contain no news.
Through another channel the editors
ssy they have later information, which
purports that the country is in expecta.
ton OF having its independence recog.
n sed by France. 1t has boon known
for some time that negotiations for this
ooiec, were pending, and it is supposed
not improbs Die that they may have been
continued WI success but we cannot
vouch for the correctness ofthe account.
1t is said that the brig Julius Thales,
which sailed on the 9Th OF May for ia
vre, took out the Senators Rore aud
Bayrd. NJ. RouaDez, a government no.
tary, on their way to Paris from the
Haytien government. to sign treaty
proposed by the French, and already a.
< ICED to. The particulars are not
SHOWN, but are uDd oubtedly favourable
to French commerce 1t is already
known, through French papers, that
vessels can clear for Hayu direct from
France; and that shipments may be
mace from hayti, 50 that American
vessels can carry her productions to q
French port
According to our accounts. the neso.
Citations had not been interrupted even
when the greatest alarm prevailed in
tho country. Until the recognition
has been officially acknowledged by
France, the Hayden government takes
every step and precaut,op to guard a.
gainst treason and deception; the levies
of troops are completed. new towns are
built IN the interior Oh the summits Of
the highest mountains, for the women
and children, provisiong and ammuni-
ton are already stored there, and every
other precautionary measure has been
taken to prevent surprise, IN case the
proposed treaty should only be veil to
fconcesi an expedition against them. In
tho mean time all business has stopped,
aud foreign commerce suffers much
from this state of uncertainty.
