LATER FROM HAYTI.

Hayti papers of February 18th have been receiv-
ed but the intelligence is not startling. The inan-
cial affairs of the republic create some uneasness
and the President has issued proclamation, in
which he saws:
'IIaytians the financial condition of the country
claims from the government measures just but de-
clsive. These measures will infringe upon many
private interests. Those who enrich themselves by
your labor, or by personal favor, will, without
doubt, loudly protest; but the course of govern
ment will not be checked by their discomfort 1t will
march on firmly, and woe to those who attempt to
fetter it.
''The era of pillaging is past! Each functionary
is henceorth responsible for his acts this RESPONSE
bility is not illusory; it extends from the chief
magistrate and his ministers to the lowest en-
ployee.
"The public funds will not hereafter be consider
ed the property of few, but will be administered
with impartiaty.
"Thc government has much to do, but it relies
on the aid and good sense of the community to OBJ
tam the results which it proposes for the general
benefit.
.'The army will be reduced, rs in a time ofpeace
A law determining the duration of military service
Will be made, so that the Haytian soldier will be no
more slave, but free citizen, who understands
that he ought to devote some time to the service of
his country, and does so cheerfuy
"Agriculture shall be encouraged, the honest
and abOrious citizens shall have all the protection
of government while robbers and vagabonds shall
be punished with all the rigor of the law The
government will see that the police in both town
and country is active, without being arbitrary.
The government in short, well encourage religion,
public instruction, arts and sciences, much as
the state OF the finances will permit"
A number of young men of Hayti are to be sent
Dy the Republic, at its expense, to Europe, to pur
sue various mechanical and professional studies
\ statement of the debts of the late Imperial
Government is to be prepared, and arrangements
will be made for the settlement Of the claims.

ought to have been disappointed for they expected
something more than human. 1t is our opinion
that Formes can go just one octave belor the diq
phragn, and his voice retains its volume well in the
higher notes. 1t is not the voice for singing first
though, for as used it amounts merely to melodi
Gus belorOng, astonishing rather than pleasing the
listener. He has tremendous organ, and could
halo 'frep loud enough to be heard almost as far

to unskilliul or negligent tillage The Winter,
which we supposed to have been very trying to
wheat, seems not to have injured it. In many
places it has suffered from standing water. Except
in such cases, and where it was sown very late the
crop promises fair yield at least, and some farm
ers say it is uncommonly promising.
