The Philadelphia Bulletin publishes a
letter from Pot-au-Prince, dated August %,
from which we take the following -
On Friday and Saturday, petitions were
carried around for the signatures of few
citizens, pra, ing that the Chamber and
Senate then convened, would confer the title
of Emperor upon SouIouque. This petition
was an empty formula. for the deed would
have been done with or without their consent,
as the Crown was already made and the i'm
periaI jewels purchased on Saturday night,
and the consent of The Senate was not given
until Sunday morning at o'clock.
At that time delegation waited on Sou
iouque to inform him of their decision. The
troops, as is usual on Sunday morning, were
under arms for review, and it was supposed
that the new-made Emperor would appear
upon the parade ground, and be proclaimed
Emperor by the troops, but this was not the
case.
2 The ceremony took place in the Catholic
Church. Tbither the new Emperor and
Empress repaired. Previous totheir depar-
.ure for the Church the guns Of the different
forts were got ready. and at lO O'Clock,

The Empire Such is the event which
occupies all minds. Last Sunday, August
26, at the moment that we were distributing
our Journal, the canons resounded from
every quarter, saluted the President, Faustin
Soulouque to the title and dignity of Emperor.
Since the 23d of August, there had been
circulated in the Capital, an address TO the
members of the Chamber of Representatives
and the Senate, demanding in the name of
the people, the title and dignity Of Emperor
for the President of Hayti This address
was covered with signatures. In the after
noon of the 9th, it was sent to the Chamber
of Representatives, and the next day two
declarations to the same purpot, signed
by the general officers, colonies, and subor-
dinate officers, who were at the capital. was
also sent to the Legislative body by General
Vii Lubn, commander of the place. On
the same day the Chamber, after having ex-
amned the petition, brought in bill con-
ferring the title and dignity Of Emperor on
the President of Hayti the day alter, the
Doth, in the morning. the Senate adopted It,
Immediately alterward that body went TO
the palace where the representatives and
civil and military functionaries were already
assembled The Emperor and Empress did
not delay in making their appearance. The
President of the Senate then placed the In
perial Crown on the head of the Chief of
the State, and placed cross of gold at his
button hole Next ne placed around the
neck of the Empress chain of great value.
after which the shouts of NIvE L,EMrE-
REuR = reechoed in the hall Mr.. Larochel
delivered an address to the Emperor, to
which he briefly replied.
The public functionaries then accompanied
their majesties to the Parish church, where
a Te Deum was Immediately chanted. For
several evenings subsequent the city was
Illuminated.

The smallest pc bible in The well of truth
Has lis peculiar meanings, and will stand
When tilan's hest stmonumeal wears fast away
The law Of Heaven is love and tho its name
Has been usufpcd by passion, and pfofan'd
To its unhoiy uses through all time &
Sill. The eternal principle il pure
And mlhose deep affections that we fee.
Omuipotent within us, can we see

BELL SMITH.

In5one OF her Letters TO the Columbian.
describes her visit to the monument on Bnn-
ker Hill. She ascended to its summit, but
the fog was 50 dense that she could moi dis
iingulsh anything at distance of len feet.
In her description, she gives the following
information touching the monument, which
may moi be generally known; she says
Bunker Hill Monument How should
love 10 be patriotic over its blood stained
base; but little piece Of information | re-
ceised while staring intothe fog, has driven
patriotism away. The committee when half
completed, had the work suddenly snspen-
ded for want of funds. Boston, with all It's
property and pride Of birts, conld not be in-
duced 10 spend another copper. The mon

ny's heels the work went brayely on--the
monument was completed. Stern old Pnri-
tans of that bloody mount, what could they
say 10 such point and ending TO their glo-
ryl What makes the matter worse, Fanny
has never been thanked or noticed for her
breathless services. Daniel Webster never
alluded 10 them in his oraiion-and the very
bandin attendance failed TO play the Craco-
vienne or Cachuca, but iadulged in those old
forgotten strains of Yankee Doodle and the
Star-Spangled Banner. Fanny, as am told
is very poor-the company is rich. Would
it not be well ofepay that lille sum upon
which the monument went ups If not, al
least inscribe her name upon the base.
