The Government of the 3d of May, at the head of which is General Philippe Guerrier, an old soldier of the first army, which, under Dessalines, achieved the independence of the country, has adopted moderate counsels, and evinces a most anxious solicitude to conciliate the popular favor, and to repair the evils effected by its predecessor. That administration precipitated Hayti into an abyss of civil war. This strives to restore peace and concord, and is laying broad and solid the foundations on which it hopes to establish these national blessings. Deputations, composed of men of the first character and influence, have been sent to every part of the island, with views of promoting the spirit of concord and of union, and their success has happily been proportionate to the importance of the mission with which they were actuated, and with the benevolence of the sentiments by which they were commanded. Ed.
The whole country beyond the ancient limits of the Republic of Hayti, has declared itself implicitly and cordially in favor of union and national unity; and, by an act, in conformity with the law of federalism, they have acted, in the existing conjunction, with exalted wisdom and laudable patriotism. All sectional animosity and hatred seem to have vanished; and, from the tone of a correspondence in reference to prisoners of war and state prisoners, carried on by the Haytien Secretary of War on the one part, and General Pierrot, lately commander-in-chief of the army of the Dominican republic, on the other, we are led to believe that a disposition exists, on both sides, the most favorable to an ultimate incorporation of the whole island into one body politic.
The Government has not neglected other means of pacification. It has not only arrested the conflagration and pillage of Azua, but it has taken measures effective to succor the families of the despoiled. By the aid of conduct so firmly wise, so dignified, and so well calculated to inspire confidence, it cannot fail to succeed in establishing itself in the affections and respect of the people. Already it manifests its eagerness to revive the sources of production, and to increase the revenue of the State by depending little upon arbitrary measures to meet the public expenditures. This is the true way to obtain and render durable, peace and the blessings which attend it.

achieved the independence of the country, has
adopted moderate counsels, and evinces a most anx
ious solicitude to conciliate the popular favor, and
to repair the evils effected by its predecessor. That
administration precipitated Hayti into an abyss of
civil war. This strives to restore peace and con
cord,and is laying broad and solid the foundations on
which it hopes to establish these national blessings.
Deputations, composed of men of the first charac
ter and influence, have been sent to every part of
the island, with words of peace upon their lips, of
concord and of union, and their success has happily
been commensurate with the commendable zeal by
which they were actuated, and with the benevolence
of the Government by whom they were commission
ed. The whole country beyond the ancient limits
of the Spanish part of the island has declared ex
plicitly and cordially in favor of union and national
unity and, let us add, in abandoning their notions
of federalism, they have acted, in the existing con
juncture, with exalted wisdom and laudable patri
otism. All sectional animosity and hatred seem to
have vanished; and, from the tone of a correspon
dence in reference to prisoners of war and stale
prisoners, carried on by the Haytien Secretary of
War on the one part, and General Pedro Santana,
commander-in-chief of the army of the Dominican
republic, on the other, we are led to believe that a
disposition exists, on both sides, the most favorable
to an ultimate incorporation of the whole island into
one body politic.
