(‘Who goes there?’) The empire is quite tranquil,

himself, demanding account of the administration for

only foreigners are appointed Consuls abroad, and why

Haitian women, married to foreigners, are allowed to

hold real estate in Haiti.’ As you will see by the

Moniteur Hailien, here enclosed, the Court of Rome

has recently sent M. Vincent Spaccapietra, Bishop of

Arcadiopolis, to treat with our government. His con

authority of the Pope, separate religion from the State,

and transfer all regulation of the same from the Minis

ter of Worship to the Clergy; but, especially, that the

Holy Father, before undertaking any of these measures,

should be well assured that the Haitian Government

would not resist them.’ Monsieur Spaccapietra, at the

close of his mission, took leave of the Haitians, to go,

it was said, to visit the Dominicans. He left Port-au-

Prince on the 31st of July, in the steamer Chimera.
