The intelligence from Hayti, received yes
lerday at n. York, is of an interesting charac

ten people. This business may have curl.
Gus and important donouement. We publish

tention, in connection with Boyer's address, We
annex its material parts.
Art. l. The first paragraph, of the first Or
dinance Of His Most Christian Majesty, dated
18th April, 1925, is, as far as the case requires
explained in this sense, that His Majesty meant
TO divest himself in favor of all other nations,
of his exclusive right with regard to the island
OF Hayti; but that this manifestation Of his in
tentions shall not impair, in any manner, the
rights which it has pleased his Majesty to
grant, for himself and his successors, by the
third article OF the same ordinance, TO the in
habitants of Hayti, and in which is necessari-
ly included for the government Of Hayti, the
faculty OF acting and STIMULATING towards all
flags in its quality Of independent government;
sub ject only to the obligation of maintaining *
observing the reservations, made in the sec
ond paragraph Of the first article, in favor Of the
French commerce and flag, and which assure
to them in all cases reduction Of one half Of
the duties, both export and import, paid by the
merchandise, products and ships Of the most
favored nations.
The second article provides that this reduc-
ton is only to be enjoyed in the case; of mer-
chandize, when both the property and flag are

Haytien flag shall be received in the ports of
France, and treated al sea by the vessels Of his

wars which may break out between the mari
time powers, the government of Hayti engages
to maintain the strictest neutrality. In case
any disputes or misunderstanding should occur
between the Haytien and another government,
his Most Christian Majesty promises to inter
pose at The request, should this be made, of the
Hayden government, his good Offices, and even
his mediation, if practicable, to the end of re-
moving such disputes or misunderstanding.
