The following paragraphs communi-
cate intelligence more important than
anv we have lately had occasion to lay
before our readers. The advantage in
this arrangement, appears to us TO be
altogether on the side of the French
Government, which has obtained thirty
millions Of dollars and monopoly Of
TIE commerce al siAYTI, IN exchange
for little more than compliment - the
recognition of her independence:
Ntw-YoRK. jury 25.-We learn by
the Rebecca, Captain Groves, who ar
rived last evening in 10 days from Port
all Prince, that an arrangement was
concluded on the nth inst. betv cen
France and the Government OF Hayti,
b. WIKI, b, as We understand in general
terms, the independt nee of the latter is
Acknowledged. For tins boon, and
some commercial privi'e ges,- Hayti has
agreed 10 pay to France the sum of enc
hundred ard fifty millions of francs,
(nearly 3O.ooo.o00 of dollars.) The
French commissioners arrived off Port
au Prince on the Sd instant, and des-
patched flag OF truce, which wassmet
by flag from the town. After nego-
tiating on board a trgate until the
4th, the French commissioner landed,
and the feet was permitted to. go Up to
town. The fleet consisted OF w0sl'ips
of the lire. three frgates, two biigs. and
one schooner. The uea'y~was ssgreed
to on the 18th. Gre condition is said
to be, that the produce of The Island i'm
ported into France shall pay but halt
duties for six years.
Mercantile .9dceTiiser.
.N-,c- York. July 26.-The letters by
the Rebecca, from Port au Prince, con
firm the account furnished by Captain
Groves, of the couclusion'of africa
Bile arrangement between France and
Hayti. I he amount of $50 millions is
10 be paid by the latter government in
five ahEua instruments; and during the
period of FIVE years, the trade with
France. hy French subjects. in French
vessels. is to be subject to only half
the duties paid by other nations. Great
rejoIcings were taking place At Port au
Prince, in consequence ofthis event.

To every thing there is season, and

device is sort Of triple conspiracy a.
gainst the innocence, the health, and the
happiness of children thus, by Fictitious
amusements, to rob them of relish for
the simple joys, the unbought delights,
which naturally belong % their blooming
season, is like blotting out spring from
the year. To sacrifice the true and pro-
per enJoyments of sprigbtly and happy
children, is to make them pay dear and
disproportionate price for their artificial
pleasures. They step at once from the
nursery to the ballroom, and by pre-
posterous change of habits, are thinking
Of dressing themselves, at an age when
they used to be dressing their dolls. In
stead of bounding with the unrestrained
freedom of woodnymphs, over hill and
dale, their checks flushed with health, and
their hearts overlooking with happiness,
these gay little creatures are shut up all
the morning demurely practising the has
grace, and transacting the serious bust

rose TO meet him, and led him to a chair,
in which he seated himself, and crossed
his legs with composed air, as if lie had
determined to stay some time. Almost
Immediately afterwards, he put this sin

according TO your opinion, is The best
prose writer, Noltaire or Button 2 This
style OF opening a conversation, but a
thesls-pe trlhed me; but Klopstock, who
was much more anxious TO express his
own opinion than to hear mine, did not
wait for an answer to his inquiry. 'For
my own part he said, | give the prefer
ence decidedly to Voltaire, and for seve-
raj reasons. In the first place'-And then
he went on to give me no less than do
zen onS, which formed, in fact, long
dissertation. He afterwards talked to
me of his residence at Dresden and at
Denmark, Of the homage which had been
paid to him IN both those places, and Of
a translation which had been made of his
Messiah by French emigrant. In the
whole Of this interview, | did not utter
six monosyllables. After three hours had
elapsed, Klopstock rose from his chair,
and withdrew, nightly pleased with my
conversation for in the evening be told
one Of my friends that he had found me
extremely agreeable. Certainly it cost
me no great pains to gain this praise from
him."
