From the Philadelphia Gasefte.
Yesterday evening we received Fort an P.Ince
papers OF the 9th of November
The Feuil dc Commerce, OF that date says,
4 private letter from Hamburg, informs us that
the government of that Hanseatic City, had just re-
cognized the independence OF our republic, and
that it had named, Tor Consul General near our go
vernnent, Mr.. Weaer, commission merchant o.
this place. 1t is worthy OF remark that this gov
ernmen is the first after bat OF France, which has
recognized our Independence.
The Commission o. Public Instruction give no
lice 10 the Tuoresses in the city OF Port Prince
that they will On the 9th OF December commence
their v!silations OF the Establishments under their di
rect.on, g to examine the progress which the you'll
confided to their care have made in science, in re
Iiaion, and in morals. The parents OF the pupil:
are informed that the visits Will take place ut the
same epoch at he Lancaserian School, the Nation
al LYceum, and the School Of Medicine" We
quote this shew that the tiy'iens are not mat
tentiye 10 the instruction oil youth
The Telegraph the official paper of the govern
rnent, contains long commentary, but marked in
large letters as non official, on the " ell known
passage IN the u ole oil August IL last, which
asserts the sovereignty of France over Hayti, ant
adduces the ordinance as proof that this sover-
eighty is acknowledged. This is sturdily denied b.
inc Haytien writer. " Has this ordonnance," h,
ernineat has accepted IL freely, and has not dont
SO ill after long discussions, followed by very
explicit declaration written and furnished by th'
envoy OF his most Christian Majesty
HAYTI-Port All Prince papers TO the 27tl
Nov. have been received az Philadelphia. The
Telegraph, the official paper of the Island, speak
in terms of contempt of the assertion made in th'
Paris Etoe that the Haytiens received the nrdon-
s an. Of ith md
titude.
Tie ordinance in question, from i,s singular
character attracted so much attention both in Eu-
rope and America, that the manner IN which the
Iay,iens receive the Interpretation put on il by the
French Ministry, cannot be undressing. We
conclude with the following extract from the Tel
egraph, which will probably be considered as throw
ing mere light the subject than any thing tina
has yet been offered.
In the last days of July, Monsieur the Baron de
Mackau, arrived, bringing Royal Ordonnance in
which the full and entire Independence of gov
eminent was proclaimed. The form OF this ordon-
nance, the singularty o! its expressions, did not
escape the attention of The Commissioners whom
the President Of Hayt had appointed 10 confer with
NJ. d. Mackau. So they unanimously oil
opinion that it necessary to reject the ordon-
nance OF which this officer the bearer. This
opinion could not but he that of the President Of
to bury himself under the ruins of his country
ther than see his country debased. The chief OF
the stale directed, from that time, the conferences
70 be broken OFF, and caused it 10 be said TO th'
Baron de Mackau that he might depart. Th:
French officer, endowed with character eminently
conciliating aud with loyalty too rare in cur days
in diplomacy, solicited from the President OF Hay
ii, tie favor OF an audience. 1t was granted. III
de Mackau employed all the resources OF his elo-
to- a thp ginrs tyftt rln
chief of Hsyti had conceived against the form and
letter of The Royal Ordonnance. This was in vain,
and the invincble d.aleccs of the President victo-
Iiou4ly combaitej the rcasoni1gs OF the French ne
gociaor. Vanqulshed and rendered desperate by
the want of success of his mission, III. de Macliar
solicited second audience, at which he presented
himself prouiisd Nth notes, explanatory IF The
Ord0n1ance, iOhich Geh no more room fer o6jec.
ton, inasmucb the French Envoy declared him
self authorised by his King TO make the explanation
which The NOES contained, end offered himself
hostage in guarantee of its fidelity.
" Then the President OF Hayt having taken the
opinion OF the Senate and Of the great functional
ries, accepted The royal ordonnance; and received
IN our port the French squadron, which was wei
coined with the cordiality due TO the subjects OF
friendly power
" Thus then, the style of this ordinance which
wasso offensive to all o whom it was communicated
AMI which % afronted the proper pride Of the Pre-
ident oil Hayti, this 81 yle viii h VI. de M4ckau at

nj design oi the French ministry. that they might. il
case OF need, make use of it TO deceive ihc French
and trouble The peace which unncs the citizens o
