His majesty the Emperor retained to the
Capital on the 10Th inst having visited the Nor

At the Capital and at Gonaiyes MS MAJESTY
Government received several communications
from the English and French Consuls, having
reference solely to the affairs Of the East, to
which his Majesty replied after ms return to
the Capital. These communications had for
their object to procure truce OF hosthites with
these departments for one year but the request
was conveyed IN the shape OF ala invitation TO MS
Majesty not 10 commence hostlllIes without
giving the medlatmg pOwors twelve mon-h
notice of MS intention.
His Majesty. satisfied that he would not en-
gage IN another campaign during these twelve
months. felt no reluctance IN complying Win the
views Of the mediating powers. so far as eX-
tending the truce he had already proclaimed IL
May last to twelve months. His Malestys COM
pllance was hailed with oy by the foreign Con-
suls. The French and English vessels IN the
Bay fired repeated saluteS.
The commander OF the English squadron here
paid a visit to our Admiral, and did him honor
and the Consuls, accompanied by the captains
of their respective vessels, had an audience OF
the 18th.
During these twelve months let us hope there
viii be also truce with the diplomatic attacks
made on the Hayden Government IN reference
to this subject
This disposition of the question will render 1t
unnecessary to urge the claims of Hayti on
America, or vlndlcate her cause before IT, No
doubt that cause is not yet triumphant, bat the
respite Is one we may turn to good account
Between this time and twelve months hence,
affairs may take very different turn, and opln
ions, If not IN the United States at least IN
Europe may be completely changed We wish
a truce with official interviews and otficious
diplomacy, but we sincerely desire that by every
possible means the public mind OF America may
be favorably impressed toward US.
1t Is gratifying to find that the msuuectos OF
Cuba has been SO enorgetlcally and completely
suppressed. May this lesson prove useful TO
those adyenturers who dream OF nothing but
fighting and pIage.
