When the departure OF the HJyten commission |

ance, was mentioned in the papers oil port au
Prince, something SAID oil uNeI70r treaties. III
cannot be OWNED here what secret understanding

that document could express or imply such recos-
milton OF independence the government OF the
island not long since represented TO be alone des
rablc and admissible. From all that is eNant, Boy

that the difficulties which other powers felt IN re

acceptance of the ordinance.
Various conectures naturally arise under the pre-
reri aspect OF things. The Haytien councils may
have Welded 10 threats from the French commission
they may have deemed indefinite truce and
authorized intercourse equivalents for what they have
conceded; they may have consented to betray the
people or have been dipped by the French cabinet;
ar the French cabinet may have conrived the ordI
lance merely TO answer the purpose of saving APP
pelrances in Europe Sc, Dut have resolved to
consider and treat the Haytiens as, in fact, in
dependent nation. Some OF these suppositions are,
we confess, very improbable, and do not un-
dertake TO solve the enigma in question. Perm ps

that combination. The Haytien press is too well
secured 10 allow us to expect early disclosures.
