the protection of that place. Llavelia-
"a, at the head of the revolulionisis, bad
possession of the Mount, and some Skin
mishing had taken place near the walls
of Monte Video. A Brazilian man-of-

all vessels passing. The Blakely was
brought TO by her, and saw them board
brig under Buenos AyreaD colours
after which she steered for Monte vi

that every thing remained quiet at Bue-
nos Ayres, but it was expected that war
between that Government and the Bra

veite from Rio Janeiro, with dispatches
for the Buenos Ayrean Government, had
arrived at Monte Video, aud was daily
expected at Buenos Ayres. The Con-

John Pierre Boyer, President Of Huyti
A long oppression had borne down
Hayti: Your courage, and your heroic
efforts, raised her twenty years since
from degradation to the rank of indie
pendent nations. But your glory de-
manded one other triumph. The
French flag, coming this day to salute the
land OF liberty, consecrates the Iegitima-
cy "fyour emancipation. 1t was reserv-
ed to the monarch of France, not less
religious than great, to signalize his adj
vancement TO the crown by an act of jus.
tee, which at once adds brlliancy TO the
throne from whence It emanates, and to
the nation which is its object.
Haytiens A special ordinance of His
Majesty Charles X. dated the 17;h April
last, recognizes the full and entire inde-
pendence of your government This
authentic act, by adding the Formally of
law to the political existence which you

rank in the world, in which you have
been placed, and to which Divine Provi-
dence calls you.
Citizens! Commerce and agriculture
will now be greatly extended. The arts
and sciences, which rejoice in peace, will
be highly improved, TO embellish your
new situation with all the benefits of civ
ilizatiou. Continue, by your attachment
10 national Institutions, and above all to
your Union, TO be the terror of those
who would desire to disturb you in the
just and peaceable enjoyment of your
rights.
Soldiers You have merited well OF
your country.-Uoder all circumstances.
you have been ready TO combat for her
defence. You will be faithful to your
duty. The fidelity of which You have
given so many proofs to the commander
of the nation, is the most glorious recon-
pense for his constant solicilude for the
prosperity and glory of the republic.
Hayiiens Show yourselves worthy Of
the honorable place which you occupy
amongst the nations of the earth. More
happy than your fathers. who left you
only the legacy of an awful fate, you
shall bequeath to your posterity the most
GLORIOUS heritage which they can desire
internal harmony, and external peace, a
flourishing and respected country.
Live forever, Liberty, Liberty!
Live forever, independence!

Al the late term of he Supel ior Court
in this town, which closed its session on
Wednesday last, DR.. Zenas C. johnson
was found guilty of digging up and car
rylng away from grave yard in Ando-
yer, the body of Mrs. Mary Hilton.
The defendant was under bonds in the
sum of $3.50. He was present during
the trial, but thought it not prudent to
await the verdict of the jury and judg-
ment OF the Court. For the information
OF those who pTowl about grave yards,
and invade the sanctuary of the dead, we
would state that the amount of the bonds
IN this case is no criterion of the abhor-
renee in which the people of New
Hampshire hold the crime of" digging
up" their neighbors and friends.

speech of the King at the propagation
of the British Parliament:
His majesty returns you his warmest
acknowledgements for the zeal and as
siduity with which you have prosecuted
the inquiries into the state of ireland,
which he recommended to you at the
opening of the session.
II is particular qualification TO his
majesty that the tranquility and improv-
ed condition of that part of the United
Kingdom, have rendered the extraordi-
nary powers with which you had invest
ed his majesty no longer necessary for
the public safety.
His majesty is happy TO be able to
announce to you that he receives from
all foreign powers the strongest assur-
ances of their friendly disposition to-
wards this country, and for their desire
to maintain the general peace.
While his majesty regrets the contin-
uance of the war in the East Indies with
the Burmese Government, he trusts
that the gallant exertions of the British
and native forces, employed in opera
lions in the enemy's territory, may lead
TO speedy and satisfactory termination
OF The contest.
