Haiti.

From the Haitian Journal, lie Peuple, OF
goth Oct, we learn the following about
the election for PreSident,-TueSday IL.
The members of the provisional Govern
ment accompanied 10y a deputation Of CT
tizpns, went to the chamber and formally
restored to that body the powers with
which they had been invested. Some
moving speeches were pronounced and a
vote OF confidence in the retiring gentle
men passed. The late members, then left.
In the afternoon the address of the Con
stituent Assembly was published in the
streets Of the Capital, to the sound of
drums and military music.
AT Is minutes past four, a salute of II
guns, fired in the purlieus of the Chamber
of the Assembly, announced that General
Legitime had been elected chief of the
Executive for the national defence, his
powers to be used under the control of the
Constituent Assembly. He is to choose a
Council of five members for the direction
of the different departments of the state.
The Assembly resumes the plentitude of
its powers which had been cOntided to the
provisional government.
The Chief of the Executive was elected
unanimously by the members present at
this important sessiOn-tO the number of
80.
Adaptation waited on General Legitime
and placed in his hands the decree creating
him Chief of the Executive. The account
in the PeMple goes on to say "Speeches,
Music, Champagne, nothing was wanting
on the OCCASION When this nomination
became known, people began to fire revol-
vers and carblnes, but the authorities ira
versed the town throughout, with the pc.
lice, and to the great satisfaction of every
body, diSlrmed in every sense, those who
were firing their pieces.

Spectator, October 27th.)

Up to Friday afternoon, the Par
nell Commission, which began its
regular sitIings on Monday, had
been occupied almost exclusively in
listening to the Atrorney-Generals
opening of his case for the Times.
In the conversation on Wednesday
morning, Sir Charles Russell, the
chief counsel on the other side, man
aged to twit Sir Richard Webster
with giving a mere rechau66 OF the
old charges against the Land League.
As the old chargs IS brought against
the Land League have never been
tried before any tribunal, and as the

It is stated that the assassin of General
Thelemaque is known and can be pointed
ont at any time. The crop of coffee this
year has been of very encouraging charac-
ter, but owing to all the inhabitants being
more or less under arms, it is impossible
to get people to labour. The greatest
excitement prevails throughout the Repub-
lie. Large numbers of women and child
rem have removed from their dwellings
and have taken up their abodeS in the
mountains for the safety of their lives.
st. Marc and Gonaives nave been
blockaded, and shipping is therefore
wholly prevented from entering. JaCmel
was to be declared bl0ckaded on Friday.
The Olaribel" was fired at in attempting
to enter GOnaives, and she will have to
return to New York with the cargo Intend
ed for that place.
FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.
1t seems the American steamer Haitian
Republic was seized on the 21st instant,
on suspicion of attempting to land arms
and munitions of war. On Friday last,
however, she slipped her cable while lying
in the outer harbour, and attempted to
get away to sea. She was pursued by the
Haitian gunboat DeSSGlineS, and fired upon,
and finally brought back to port, and
taken into the inner harbour. Here she
had her furnace doors removed and some
parts of her machinery. She was thus
disabled from any further attempt at
escape. The ClGribel reports that when
she left there was neither a British nor
American war vessel at POrt-au- Prince.
A French gunbOat was in the harbour, and
had been for some time.
A gentleman on the Cldribel also states
that an American baTque, the W. II. Jones,
of Boston, was seized at GonaiveS, as
carrying contraband OF war, and was
brought into the inner harbour OF Port,au-
Prince. General Legitime'S government
have placed guns on one of the REVERE
steamers, of the coastal trade, and pay
the owner $500 a day for the use of her.
Jacmel is reported as strongly in favor
Of the North, and is expected to declare
against Legitime's government. Should
Jacmel do this, Aux Cages and Jeremle
are more that likely to follow suit, and III
this case Port. au. Prince will be completely
isolated. The forces of the Northern
faction are said to be rapidly nearing
Port. au-Prince, and it is expected that
an engagement will take place very shortly
between these troops and the Port au-
Prince army under Legitime, at a place
some ten miles north OF POrt-au-Prince on
the Main Road to the Northern part Of
the Island. The election for president is
declared to have been considerable in
favor OF T~hplemaque, in the proportion OF
about 40 to 80 voices for Legitlme.-

object of this Commission is to get
them tried, hat surely, far from be-
ing Il blot on Sir R. Webster's per-
Torrance, may we'll have been a
merit. It would have been a sure
Sign of weakness if the Attorney
General had not rested his cast on
The old grounds. He gave ample
specimens of the language used at
Land League meetings, and then am
pie specimens Of the outrageS which
followed the use OF that language. He
Skrtched the evidence that some of
the most violent of the League orators
had been paid out Of the funds of the
League for their services as asitat0rs.
He showed that Of some of the most
violent OF those agi,atOrs Mr.. Parnell
had said that he was satisfied of their
power IT, still the troubled waters,
when, in 1882, he proposed to make
terms with Mr.. GIadstOne's Govern
ment,-the only experience he had
OF them being al that time experience
of their great effectiveness as trOu-
bIer> of the waters. Sir Il. Webster
dweIt at length on the close me
ton between the Irish American
agitators who avDwed that they wish
ed for violence, and the so-calIed
Irish Constitutionalists who protested
to desire the use only of constitutions
al means; and he pointed IA that
the American organs of violence had
been distributed in vast numbers in
Ireland, and that the Irish leaders,
amongst whom Mr.. Davitt was sing
led out as the most important link
between the American and the Irish
agiratorS, had expressed their graft
tude to those who conducted these
Journals, for the pecuniary help, as
well as the moral support, which they
hid furnished to the cause of the
Land League. With regard to the
dispute as to what documents shall
be at once discovered to the other
side, both parties have consented 10
defer to the decision OF the Commits
slonerS themselves.

People goes on to say, 'there uere only fire
killed, a child, tuO qc0men and taco men,
Among these was a busman, who was
shot while on his driving box.
The Chief of he State passed through
the streets and was everywhere received
with enthusiasm.
The charming %nairet6, with which the
Penple states that there were "only five
killed, . child, > women, etc." shows how
Indifferent our Haitian friends are to the
shedding Of blood, even of women and
children. Ibid.

The Earl ofDufferin has been Gre
ated Marquis of Dufferin and Ava
and Earl Of Ava. The Viceroy has
deserved a public recognition of his
great services, aud we suppose the
marquIjale was the easiest, though
we never can understand how a Peer
can consent TO have all his sons called
Lord4, and SO shut them out from
half their possible careers. But is
not the second title just a little too
magnificent ? 1t is carefully noted
that it was given by the express wish
of the Queen aud not at Lord Dufer-
ms suggestion !; but does her Males
ty know what The word conveys? 1t
is, in history at all events, the name
Of the whole Burmese Empire,
not of its old capital only,-that is
of one of the most splendid and sepa-
rate of British Dependencies. An
Earldom OF Canada or a Marquisate
of Australia could hardly be more
moulh-flsing, and it will have more-
over, to be used, though by the eldest
son. The Marquisale of the Punjab
was bad enough, but that title was
never used, or could be; and, after
all, the Punjab, vast as it is, is only a
province, Ava is an Empire. The
Queen might almost as well have
created Lord Ragland, if he had sur
vived and been victorious, Earl of
Russia.
