have been repulsed with loss; and be-

the Persians and Wahabecs on the

finest portions of the globe is hastening 
to its fall. 
HAYTI. 
It must be gratifying to the advo- 
cates of humanity and. philanthropy in 
Europe and in America to learn, that 
the government of Hayti is paying so 
much attention to education, arts and 
sciences, commerce, &c. and the esta- 
blishment of civil and religious liberty, 
founded upon the pure basis of a re- 
presentative system, as must, in the 
course of a few years, place Hayti on 
an equality with the most civilized na- 
tions in Europe. The following letter 
is a fine specimen of what may be ex- 
pected from a free and independant 
people :— 
Republic of Hayti. Liberty—Equality. 
Port au Prince, June 5th, 1822, 19th year of Inde- 
pendence. 
Copy of a Letter from B. Inginac, General 
of Brigade, Secretary-General to his Ex- 
cellency the President of Hayti, to Mr. 
Joseph Webb, London. 
Sir,—I am commanded by the Presi- 
dent of Hayti to reply to the letter that 
you wrote to him, dated 28th October last 
year, and which, with an accompanying 
Monthly Magazine, arrived here a week 
ago. 
His Excellency has read with a lively 
interest your reflections on the abolition of 
the Slave Trade, on the advantages of edu- 
British Legislation; 
[Nov, a, 
cation, on the care which ought to be 
taken to preserve religion inits purity, and 
finally, on the administrative and political 
means proper to preserve newly-formed 
states, and even to promote their increase ; 
he has particularly remarked the correct- 
ness of the priuciples of liberty which you 
profess, 
The Republic of Hayti, founded on the 
immovable basis of a just and liberal go- 
vernment, has triumphed over all the ob- 
stacles which seemed to oppose its. esta- 
blishment. Its powerful arm has strangled 
the serpent of discord and the hydra of ty- 
ranny, which preyed on its vitals. The 
mildness of its laws has recalled to the 
bosom of their country those of its sons 
whom error had banished; and forcign 
commerce, assured of the good faith of the 
Haytians, fills our ports, and, in exchange 
for the merchandize it brings, carries away 
the rich productions of a soil fertilized by 
the labours of free men. Quiet in the in- 
terior, strong enough not to fear attack 
from abroad, independant of all domina- 
tion from beyond sea, and governing itse]f 
by its own institutions, it justifies those 
philanthropists who have bravely defended 
its cause, and interested themselves in its 
prosperity. SB) 
This state of things will prove to you, 
sir, that your views are pertectly in har- 
mony with those which have constantly di- 
rected our government. You have also 
embraced, in your solicitude, the unhappy 
children of Africa; and, from this cireum- 
stance, you have a just claim on those 
sentiments of gratitude J am commanded 
to express to you. 
I have the honour to be, &e.
