without molestation. Whether a peace throughout Europe, may be to them a declaration of war, we take not upon us to determine. The losses and dishonour which France has sustained, in the ineffectual exertions made by Le Clerc and Rochambeau, cannot yet be erased from her memory; and perhaps, she may find it prudent to omit making any fresh attempts to gather laurels in this inhospitable climate, from a fear of tarnishing her distant glory, by augmenting her past disgrace. As to the title, by virtue of which Dessalines took possession of the purple, it will hardly be questioned by the present emperor of France, till the name and claims of the Capets are forgotten. But a favourable opportunity to regain a valuable colony, would not be neglected by him for the sake of a few ceremonies scruples. Unfortunately, politicians and warriors have felt no hesitation in declaring, by their conduct, that glory is not sullied by the means adopted to acquire it, if these means can ensure success. On the various turns which the human mind can take, we presume not to calculate, and we must leave events to the destinies of Heaven. Already, since the preceding paragraph was written, has the tyrant of France, who spread terror throughout Europe, been hurled from his exalted pinnacle; and, in a most unexpected manner, one of the ancient dynasty has been exalted to the throne. Europe, happily delivered from the scourge of a bloody and protracted war, at this moment sinks down in peace; but the distant appendages of its distinct empires, have not yet been publicly either defined or named. On the destiny of Hayti, we can therefore scarcely with prudence, risk even a solitary conjecture. Hitherto, the elements, under the direction of the Almighty, have favoured the cause of its inhabitants, and given to the world a pledge that their independence will be secured. Nevertheless, we only know with certainty, that the empires of the world, overruled by infinite wisdom, will continue to change, until the earth shall be renewed in righteousness, and finally settled in universal peace.
