From tie Richmond Enquirer

The London Morning Chronicle had
prepared US for an agreement between
France and Hayti." zone great diff.
ficulty (it stately arose out Of the de.
mand Of a place of strength in the isl.
and, as q security for the payment Of the
naturalization to be agreed on. This
difficulty has been got rid of by the
offer Of the Hayden government to pay
the whole sum at once: and we under
stand that house in this metropolis
has offered to procure. the requisite
sum for this purpose"
We now publish a letter from a
friend at Paris, stating from the best
information thatsthis compact has been
actually formed. We hasten to lay
the extract before our readers-as ii
describes an event in which we are so
deeply interested-and which may soon
call upon both the general and state go
vernments for the consideration of Ger.
tain measures within their respective
spheres of jurisdiction.
The emigration to Hayti may be ex-
pected to increase. Some ofthose who
have already gone are dissatis6ed-be-
cause, says the Baltimore Chronicle,
they "embark with an idea that they
are to live without labor"
We have on file an interesting &C
count of the Island, taken from Diary
penned by an American upon the spot.
If the writer will be so good as to lay
the continuation before us, we will
then decide upon its publication:

"PARIs, Dec. 24.-I have just learnt,
and in ,oay that renders the Information
every ,oay uorthy Of attention, that it is
firmly believed that treaty has been
concluded between France and St. Do
mingo. ST. Domingo is to pay 100
millions of francs as the price of the
acknowledgement of its independence
part, nominally to go to Spain, as an
indemnity for its portion Of the island
but really to France, as pay, &c. Of
French troops in Spain: The Speech
Of the King Of France, in stating that
an indemnity may be given to the
emigrants without increasing the taxes
seems to confirm all this.
81 am ready to leave Paris-proba-
bly, in an hour-but I wished to give
you this information, which presents
matter Of very serious reflection for the
"South." The conduct of England
too, as regards her Colonies, is of a
nature to throw them, before long, COM
pletely into the hands of the Negro
Population. You cannot conceive how
completely mad many are in England
on this subject-Owen's followers a
mong the best-while his system is sla-
very with a witness, Benthamites, Will
berforce s. Co. SC. SC. cannot I'M
ders,and how England has escaped
some violent explosion, with such a
quantity Of mad men as she has. The
only reason, believe, has been, that,
as is generally the case, slight varia-
ton in their arrangement, made them
look on each other with contempt.

taken Of Lord Byron, by West, a dis

go, understand, has declared it to be
among the best Paintings he has seen,
Lord Byron is represented much fatter,
which was the case, though he tried
every means to avoid it. He was sa-
tis6ed with the picture and directed w.
to have it engraved by Morghen, let
his price be what it would Morghen
asked three thousand crowns-said he
could not do it under years-Byron
agreed to the price-but would not
wait the time. w. is going to Lon

On the 18th of January transport
arrived from Rio de Janeiro, bringing
back all the prisoners that General Ii

His superiors said "Pernambuco was
the place for THAR execution" They
were shortly to be landed, and would
probably all be executed, as the Empe-
