Citizens—Our country was but a short

fictions. The traces of desolation are

Independence.
You cannot have firgotlen (he cala

cause of all your misfortunes—You nr
witnesses, that tiro government, since
the foundation of the republic, has not
deviated from the route marked out for
the amelioration of your condition. By
perseverance and good faith, by watch
ings and sacrifices, it has dissipated the
clouds which were gathered over your
heads, it has united, and attached the
scattered ports of the State to a common
centre, and has formed out of all llaytians
only one family, rendering triumphant
throughout our island (lie principles of
true liberty, the advantages of a wise
equality.
The prosperous futurity whicli such
a change seemed to promise to the chil
dren of Hayti frightened its foreign ene
mies, and overwhelmed with chagrin
those few within it who regarded the na
tion as existing only for themselves and
who were ever ready to sacrifice it to
their vanity and ambition. Thus both
conspired against the public felicity, be
cause their efforts, altogether directed
to ti different end, co-operated to im
pede our progress to prosperity.
In fact, whiLt I pacified the Eastern
part, and that glorious revolution proved
to Europe the. force of our institutions
and the shameful and fruitless attempts
of France against the Presquille of Sa

no individual influence could overturn

conspiracy at Gonaives in February,
1821, sent secret emissaries to the
North to fitment troubles and augment
the number of his partizans ; with what
intentions ? It could only he for the
purpose of subjecting his fellow citizens
and of obtaining the supreme command,
by pursuing the path pointed out to him
bv Christophe. He therefore maJe use
of the same means as the latter did a-
guinst the victorious Potion to excite
doubts as to bis devotion to bis country.
With the exception of a few wretched
intriguers, none have become the dupes
of the artifices of Komain, who, inure
effectually to deceive good citizens, sent
in the names ofGen. tiedeon and Luraot-
teaigron, a messenger to Gen. Magny,
to excite disquietude in his bosom, and
tn shake bis devotion. For this purpose
the old and ridiculous measure wns re
sorted to of spreading a report that the
country was sold to the French. Gen.

at the message which had been address

the conspiracy that existed. In answer
to Gen. Magny, I repelled the idea of

Soon after she fired again, when we took

his post. She came up on our weath

her foresail, fired three guns and inus
ketry without hailing us. She appeared
full of men. We commenced a fire tip-
on her, and in about an hour shot away
her lore-yard, and forc-gaft. She then
ceased tiring, and hailed in Spanish,
which we answered by telling our char
acter, and demanding to know his ; they
made no reply. IVe commenced firing
again—she fired another gun, and stood
off’. Capt. Smith, who was on hom'd
teceived a musket ball through his arm.
At daylight next day , we made, sail, and
found our fore topsail braces shot away ;

Curracoa.—A correspondent, under date
of the 17th August, writes as follows:
'• Thu Spaniards appear to have declared
open .ostililies against our enunry. The
orig Abeona, of New Orleans, arrived three
days ago from Porto Citlicllo, in ballast, a
prize to the Hercules, Spanish man of war.
She is condemned—and reports that the
Hercules lias captured two other vessels,
one from Philadelphia, the other from Bal

FROM THE COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
LITERAL ERRORS.
.Meters Editors Soma twenty years
ago I used to write occasionally for the
press, and was thus led lo take a little
more notice than common of typographi
cal mistake-. I was vexed enough, and
ollen, at the trouble given by the blun
ders of some ignorant or careless w irn-
tnen. and compelled to revise mv own
proofs lo give my readers some tolerable
chance for ascertaining my meaning —
It was about this line that a printing
house, under the title of the “ literary
office,” was established, vvitii good rea
son, but poor success ; for its produc
tions were rather more iUcleralc than
those of any of its fellow craftsmen.
.Since then, l presume, these literary
pretensions have been dispensed with in
printers, anJ authors left to see to the
correctness of their works them-elves.
However that may be, I have ha t nothing
to do with the business for some lime,
but to read the publications of tiie day.
without caring whether they were well
or ill printed. 1 could not hut s niIn,
though, how and then, at the ludi taut-
mistakes I continually perceived in the
newspapers, generally the extent of my
literary researches ; and at length, a
few weeks since, commenced a memo
randum of such materi d ones as should
fall under my observation. The list be
ing now full enough, I believe, to fill a
column of newspaper essay of a decent
length, I send you its contents for repub
lication ;—and if you do not smile at
some items in the catalogue, you will at
least learn Irotn th iti how much impor
tance may depend on [the omission or
addition of] a single letter.
The first blunder I noted vva- in an ac
count of a dreadful -torm in France, af
ter which “ two hundred & fifty peasants
were found killed by the hail,” accor
ding to one paper. What an awful d s-
truction! thought I, arid how impossi
ble !—until in some other papers. I found
it correctly stated, pheasants, the h being
omitted m the first.
l'lie same paper contained the adver
tisement of what it denominated a cheat

A few days after, skimming over a
bundle of old country papers. 1 lit up
on a dismal writer on the Missouri ques

ble consequences of that dreadful dis

t r he meant United or not, I could not
discover by his lamentable strain, as he
was apprehensive of a di-solution ofthe
union. Perhaps the printer did not
transpose the letters.

But how alarmed must the musical

Messrs. Incledon and Philips ! Discord

T, again. I read of a team ship be

probably the Rouert Fulton, navigated
by steam, and not one of our horse

But what would the Boston (or New
York) eulogists say lo that country eili
tor who told his readers that Mr. Kean,
the famous actor, was playing there to
fool houses ! More meant than met the
ear in giving full so broad an accent.
Flic editor of a -meekly publication,
lately inserted the phrase teeakly mis
cellany, in sperkmg of Ins work—wheth
er though ingenious modesty or ingenious
mistake, I will not decide.
One of our papers the other day said
of a certain celebrated, though some
what equivocal military character, tha,
on a particular occasion, his retreat be
ing cut off, he found no resource but in
flight—meaning fight, but vvhetherstumb-
littg nearer the fact or not, 1 cannot say.
In one ofthe late ” reminiscence-”
of the Boston papers, a criticism of Dr.
Byles was called a witticism. From the
known character of the reverend doctor,
however, I presume cither phrase
would he correct.
But what think you of ten thousand
dollars loss on a single “ cup of coffee,”
said to be suffered in one of the West
India Islands ! Impossible, unless the
cup were like the howls of Cleopatra's
vine, in which wore melted pearls nf
irnmence value. The cearful printed
meant to say crop.
In a New-Jor-ev paper the teacher of
a female academy off ers tn instruct young
ladies in the elegant and useful accom

Perhaps some of his fair pupils would
perfer this mistake to the correction.—
It is not so bad, however, as a painter
advertising to paint sighs by the printer
giving the n a long too hind leg.

A writer in the Philadelphia Democratic
Press cautions the public against the pur
chase and use nf British imitations of A-
merlcau Manufactures. lie states that in
that city, three hundred aud fifty weavers
are now out nf employ, in consequence of
the importation of British goods of this des
cription. These goods (continues he) arc
sold at auction for what they will bring;
and the American manufacturer is obliged
to keep his own good article on hand whirli
would w ear twice as lung as the imported,
for the latter being made of Suret rotton,
is thickened with flour to give it the appear
ance and substance of tile durable produce
nfour looms. To make the deception com
plete, the names of various American Manu
facturers and of their establishments are
stamped upon their imitation, and to facili
tate the continuance of this mean conduct,
the Board of Trade of England have passed
an order admitting duty free, all pieces
that are imported into England as patterns
to copy.—Balt. Anier.
We have in nor hands a fine sperimen of
Pennsylvania Cotton, planted on the Cth

his residence near Germantown, Pa. He
has half an acre of it in his orchard, Si writes
thus on the subject: “ It a is sample of the.
green seed (or short staple cotton.) From
the rough and poor state ofthe soil, it Ins
been cultivated under unfavourable circum
stances ; nevertheless it grows Inxioion-lv
and is superior to what I expected : indeed
the staple is scarcely inferior to the best tip-
, land cotton of S. Carolina.—-.V. Cut.
