HAYTI.-The payment OF the sums due
to France, for the acknowledgment of Hay
tian independence, causes very considerable
difficulty to President Bowyer.--An attempt
was made short time since to obtain some
thing from the mines, and great expectations
formed that the result would relieve the Gov
ernnent from the necessity of resorting to
taxation, but, after exploring them. no ira
ces of either gold or silver could be dicovered,
and the project was abandoned. Immediate
recourse must now be had to direct ta1atioa
for which the people are by no means prepar-
ed and in many instances they are ready
to dispute the power of the government to
compel its payment The result of this dis
agreement between the parties, it is feared
will be rebellion or revolution, either Of
which is much to be deprecated in the pres.
ent situation of the Island,
The British Consul General it is expected
will shortly return, to his country, as he is I'M.
able to do any thing in furtherance of the
views Of his government with the President
of liayti, and the circumstance Of his having
been Gazetted as coloured man, did him
much injury in the estimation of the Hay
tians, although it was thought to be master
stroke of policy by EngliShmen, who seem to
have forgotten the fact that the people OF the
Island are as tenacious about their colour as
those of any part of the world. A report
was currently circulated in Port au Prince on
the 23d of July that the Consul had handed
in his ultimatum, and fixed OH time for his
departure unless his proposals should be ac-
ceded to, and it is the general impression
that he would have permission to depart at
the most convenient opportunity, the govern
ment having no further claims on his atten-
tions.--Speaking upon his subject, one OF our
intelligent correspondents, residing in the
Island remarks:-
The sanguine expectations of the En-
glishmen here, as to what Mr.. M'kensie
the British Consul, was to accomplish ana
the probable failure of his success in any one
point, are striking instances Of the gullibiii-
ty OF John Bull. Mr.. MIX. cOnfesses the
gHH and acknowledges himself to have been
fairly duped, at the same time he express
cd his admiration of the correct information
respecting these people as displayed in the
Panama message"
Respecting the unpleasant situation 10
which the president of the Republic hnds
himself placed, our correspondent writes 10
this effect.
1--WE have report that the President is
either going toresign by request, or from 'he
embarrassed situation OF the country, render
ing his post no longer tenable. Other cause'
than his NAL administration have conducedw "
bring about the distresses under when 'ns
people labour and which were out OF his pow
er to guard against. had he been wiser thaa
what he is--still these people ..'do not 100.
into the hidden mysteries of things" and are
apt to condemn where they should approve
