| Government of certain limitations and re-
strictions of power contained in the instruc-
tons of his successor, after such know
ledge had been disclaimed by the Secre
tary of State. This offence falls short of
the insult offered by Mr.. Poussin; yet Mr..
Jackson was not again recognised by the
Government, though he protested that he
intended no insult to the American Exc
| cutve. The British Government took no
exception to Mr.. Jackson's dismissal,
though the English cabinet did not regard
the language of its minister as especially
offensive to the American Government.
That was question, however, which the
American Government had to decide for
itself, and Great Britain had no right to,
nor did she, cavil with the decision.
We do not deem this proper occasion
to speculate upon the temper in which the
French Government may regard MIR. Pous-
SIMS dismissal The President of the Uni
ted States would scarcely have modified
his decision in the premises by conside-
ration Of any probable or improbable con-
sequences to the relations between the two
countries. The higher duty of maintain
ing the dignity and character of the nation
strided above consideration Of contingent
cies, remote or close at hand. But we
prefer to speak of the matter as it is re-
garded by the international law, as unlikely
to produce strife, and as belonging to
class of differences which, by the common
consent of nations, are not approached as
furnishing ground of complaint, much less
of war. We have no reason to suppose
that France will make this case an excep-
ton in her manner Of treating it; and, in
the absence of any visible cause of irrita-
ton, it would be like suspecting her of
secret soreness to argue the subject as
within speculative range of casus belH

BY the brig Hayti, Captain Cults, which arrived
here last night from Port Prince, whence she
sailed on the Sd instant we learn that Hayti has
ceased to be a republic, and that Soulouque, the
President, has been proclaimed Emperor under the
name of Faustin !.
The decree of the Legislative body, by which MIR.
Soulouque was turned into an Emperor was word
ed as follows:
considering the wish manifested by majority
OF citizens and officers of every rank, and addressed
ceiye the sanction Of the Legislative body
The Chamber of Representatives and Senate
uninng IN the wish OF the people and the army.
''Decree as follows
"Art. |. The title and dignity of Emperor are
conferred ON the President Of Hayti, Faustin Sou
louque, as mark of gratitude for the eminent
wees which that usrous chief has rendered to the
country
"Art. 2. The present laws and institutions will
remain in force until the Legislative body shall be
called on to revise them, in order to render them
conforInable to the new state Of things"
The Senate adopted the bill the next day and its
vote is signed by all its officers, The Emperor ac-
cepted his elevation in the following language
s'The President of Hayt declares that he submits
to the wish Of the nation, which, by the agency of
the Chamber and the Senate, confers on him the
title Of Emperor. In consequence, he orders that
the above law of the Legislative body be promul-
gated and executed throughout the territory Of the
Empire.

The Union appears to think that the

The papers which reached yesterday from the
Eastern cities all contain extracts Of letters tee
graphic dispatches, purportng to give the particu-
bars Of misunderstanding said TO have arisen be
tween the Diplomatic authorities the United States
and France, the result of which is that NJ PoUssIS
the Minister of France to the United States has re-
ceived from the Executive, through the Department
OF State, direct ntimation that he is no longer
recognised by this Government in that capacity.
The tenor of this information is, we have reason
TO believe, substantially correct Nobody would
regret the circumstance more than we, did sup
pose for moment that it involved, as some of the
letters seemed to indicate, any serious misunder-
standing between the Governments of the United
States and France, and still more if il threatened in
any way the peace happily existing between them.
There is nothing in the occurrence, we are per-
suaded, with the rational disposition which may be
presumed TO be reciprocal on the part of both
governments, to justify the apprehension of any
thing like rupture between the two countries.
This impression Of ours we state only by way of
allaying the excitement which the letters, &C., as
published might produce, and, indeed, have pro-
duced in the commercial cities the papers state,
80 as to affect more less the public funds and
markets.
We will not here undertake to repeat what we
have heard of the particulars of the course of the
French minister, to which this Government has
taken exception. 1t occurs to us. however, as the
accounts of the matter by different letter -wri-
tiers materially conflict, and the public will look
anxiously for correct information on the sub
ject, that it is highly desirable that the President
should, if he see objection to it, allow copies of
the papers relating to the to be taken and pub
lished.

The AMERICAN Consul AT PARIs.-The Presi-
dent, il is said, has relieved Mr. Walsh from his
duties consul at Paris This step has been
deemed necessary in consequence of the very ac
tve-thc gratuitously active-part taken by our
consul in the revolutionary movements of Europe
His sentiments and sympathies have been warmly
expressed against the efforts and the spirit which
pants for freedom. His American correspondence
is calculated, if not designed, to repress and Grip
pie the energies OF men who were struggling for
some of the blessings enjoy.
IL Is better that Americans holding official sta :
tons abroad should abstain entirely from any in
reference with the revolutions in Europe But
1t certainly becomes them not TO lend themselves
To the cause OF oppressionnot 10 assist in crushing
those who are making glorious efforts to discnthra
the old world. The recall of Mr.. Walsh therefore,
will be approved by the American people.

MEETING or HEMP GRowEas-Thc Lexington
Observer contains the proceedings of the convention
OF hemp growers, held at Lexington on the 10th.
The meeting was composed Of some Of the most re-
spectacle farmers in Fayette and the adjoining
counties What they ask IL evidently proper that
we cannot imagine that their wishes will be any
longer disrcgardod, The Government has fully re.
cogniscd the policy Of encouraging the production
of water rotted hemp in this country, by giving the
preference TO American hemp for the national rope
walks. The question, then, IL simply how TO carry
out this policy. Under former administration
the plan Of advertising for contracts was tried, and
Il failed entirely. Then the Government authorized
their agents in Kentucky and Missouri TO purchase
water rotted hemp in open market, and this plan
succeeded perfectly. great many farmers pre-
pared hemp by the water-rotting process, and the
supply was rapidly running up 70 the demand when
the late Secretary Mason ordered the purchases TO
cease and contracts TO b. advertised for As before
no contracts have been made with the farmers, and
none will be made. The present Secretary has not
seen proper, as yet, 10 deyate from the course Of
his predecessor; but we take il for granted he will
do so when he finds that no bids are made. If wa
ter-rotted hemp, like dew-rotted hemp, were an ar
tcle always 70 be found in the market, no matter
whether The Government used il or not, contracts
could be made with merchants; but, not being
article Of commerce, none but hemp growers could
be expected TO make bids But experience has
shown, aud experience must necessarily always
show that farmers will not enter into contracts such
as the Government proposes. The reason they will
not and cannot we have repeatedly explained, and
we do not think il worth while TO explain again

the same person for Governor that had been pre-

combination Of Locofocos, Free Sellers, and Abo-

self into every State where these different factions
have had separate organizations. They will find
