After a divi-ion, the consequence of which was so deplorable, liberal principles mve triumphed over a tyannical system, and tite Republic has reconquered the heart of all her children, who now form only a nation of brothers, indissolubly united for the defence of liberty and independence. the reward which Divine Providence reserved for your constancy and your virtues.

Hereafter the Republic, powerful and respectable, freed from all the stumbling which hindered the progress to that elevation to which she must attain, will present to her enemies that imposing attitude, which belongs only To a nation which the value of its liberty aiw! which prefers death to an ignominious representatives have never lost sight of the maintenance of your rights a firm, but discreet discu-stou has always guided them in the examination of the they have enacted. The invaluable harmony which pit vails between the Senate, the House of Representatives and the President of Hayti, is the guarantee of the happiness which you enjoy under the enlightened protection ol the government which have created. In this fifh session, after profound meditation, several of our civil laws luive been passed. I he Senate hns received the complement of its members; virtuous citizens base been called upon to co-operate in the of those respectable agents of the nation. The conflagration of the loth Aug.

which was so injur to a part of the of Port au Prince, required the bw of the 5th Oct. and by exempting them from the duty ot patents dm mg years, they will ti id means to repair the losses which they summed. The I a ytien territory, in its present situation, required a new division, and the law of the 21th Oct. has effected it. The law ot the 14th Nov.

has Axed the precise distances ot ail the communes of the Republic from the capital. The law respecting patents, for the 1322, had undergone some modifications, called lor by the biiliiarK situation'ot the public treasury. The account? of the Secretary of Slate b-ave been examined, the Home discharged this otf.cer from accountability for the year 1820. The finances of the Republic, hich are in the most prosperous condition admit nf our a-sunng you, that our engagements hare teen lai'hfully discharged, and the demands of the public administration fully satisfied. Commerce, under our protecting laws flourishes at all points and our harbors receive the different nations, whom our amity attracts ith eagerness, and whose useful competition yields real advantage to the venting of our territorial productions.

The administration of justice wisely distributed according to our necessities, is sufficient to adjust our differences, whilst it repels with vigor, that hideous chicanery hich always produces ruinous and interminable law suits. Agriculture, under the auspices of a discreet liberty and a legal div is ion of latxls, cannot tail to increase aud prosper. Every jear it acquires new force. Public instruction receives all the encouragement, which such and institution merits it making rapid progress, and extending its bent tils over Hayti. The army, whose courage and civism have never relaxed, kept in the admirable order, union and fraternity hind the hearts ol' the brave men who compose it.

Tire merited recompenses have been the reward tor the service ot the veterans of our revolution sc worthy of our admiration. Our arsenals are provided with abundance all the means of defence, which our polil situation bur it is our resolution to live in peace with all nations of the earth. Your have mule it in their power to appreciate ibe judicious choice of the Senate, which fit? inverted President Boyer ith the chief magistracy of trie Republic, fits experience, his active cooperation with the legislative power, aflurd to your representatives the flattering expectation ol Ibe public ad more and more perfected, and tfie glory ot the nation invariably established, dour a vcrr agreeable satisfaction in finding the opportunity here, to render a solemn and homage to the rare merit of the first magistrate of the republic, so worthy of your affection. Such the detail which the ent state of the republic suggested to fo present to you it is conformable to ibe wi-h which every Haylian ought lo entertain.

On the Statute fmd, that bv the Act ol Jane 27, in easts ot the condemnation of convicts nr punishment by solitary inipnsiamiriit, and confinement to haul lalniur, tlic tciMe was oiJeied to in the county gaeis and the counties were the direction tlte Hurt of Sessions to provide enclosed yards connected with the prisons, where oonviett might be kept at labor It is presumed that the execution of the law was found either very inconvenient or impracticable, as hv the act of March 19, IH2J, this part of the former law is repealed, and thu ouit is authorised ttroreleothe punishment by solitary imprisonment, to be executed in the county gaols as far as the situation of tha sons the slate of the convict, and the circumstances and aggravation of the offence shall render pniper." By the operation of the latter act, the punishment hv cmifineinent to hard labour seems to be substantially abandoned, or at least suspended for the present. Indeed it is entirely impracticable without the addition of yards to the prisons, erected and siTiucd with reference to that object. By repealing thu law by which this was required, the egislature to have been of the opinion that it was inexpedient to have thus pro.

tided. Before the separation of Maine from Massachusetts in all, or nearly all where for thu more aggravated offences were sentenced to a long period of confinement, tiie sentence was ordered to he executed in the State Prison. This relieved the counties lioni a considerable proportion of their prisoners, and particularly from of the most dangerous character. Since that tiiAt, all have necessarily been confined in the county gaols, and the consequent has been, so great an accumulation of prisoners, that some of the gaols have been inconvenieutly crowded. is reason to believe, that, ith the growth of our population, the number of convicts will not bar, considering- our contiguity to the provinces of a foreign government, that they will rather increase.

Should this he the fact, it ill necessary lor many of the counties to rrv laige their prisons, or the Legislature to erect a State Prison, or substitute some other mode punishnmwl 111 tl.a v.Ia.ia tats. itiu 111. i ut; ui personal liberty, either with or without hard labour, seems to be pointed out hy the general practice of civilized nations, as a suitable mode of punishing crimes against the peace and security of society. It is certainly connect with imprisonment such a system ot penitentiary discipline, as will have a tendency to reform the criminal, as well as to-dbter him and others by the punishment, from a repetition of his offt-nceIn some instances, where penitentiaries have heen established under favourable circumstances, this effect, in a considerable degree, may have been produced, lint tin' experience ol this country will not warrant the belli f. that confinement to hard labour, where the convict is habits ot dnily intercourse, which the vigilance of the kit per cannot entirely prevent, with others whom the laws have pronounced and who perhaps before had become hardened in iniquity, has much tendency- to rclorin the criminal.

The number of culprits in our State Penitentiaries, bears a very small proportion tv the whole nun.her sentvncad, and not perhaps equal, the number of those, who arc 1 in their vices and confirmed in their evil habits, by the contagion of bad example, and the corrupting influence of prison society. It may be added, that constant occupation, and tire society ol such persons, as, from the temper and habits of the prisonei, hn would be likely, under cnemmtaures, to select for his companions, mitigates, in no locousidvrable degree, tiie sense ot confmeimnt. Solitary imprisonment is more terrible to the guilty, as a punishment, and reason and experience warrant the belief, that it is more effectual to reclaim them. In unoccupied the want ol other objects to engage his attention, obliges rhe guilty convict to turn his thoughts inward en his ow mind, and reflect on his past life and future prospects. Such reflections can hardly fail, in many instances-to lead to contrition; to soften the most rugged and obdurate temper, and prepare the ciiuiL.al for the reception ol moral and religious impressions.

I he humanity of our penal code revolts from the infliction ot corporal punishment, except for a few crimes ot such enormity, and fraught with such danger to society, that they are thought deserving of death. There is. indeed, little reason fox leaving to those, who live by preying on the honest and industrious, to choose how they shall be punished for their crimes; but it is believed that as much mildness, as is consistent with the object of punishment, is not unwise. The certainty of punishment has much more influence in deterring erimes than its severity. The more sanguinary the law, the less is the prob ability that Its penalties will be generally enforced.

The citizens are less reedv to prosecute, and juries more reluctant to convict, and the culprit, calculating on humane leelings of society, is often more influenced hy the chances of esexj ing ith impunity, than hy the severity of the penalty. arc these observations without the sanctioa oi experience. 1 Ivivd r.n.t mho 'vimjvi 111 11 ii it attention of the: Legislature must necessarily be soon directed to the consideration, whether punishment ot the more aggravated offences shall be inflicted bv confinement in the county prisons, or to hard labour, or solitary imprisonment, or both, in a State Prison. At present the convicts cannot he punished by solitary imprisonment, the in many ot the counties being insufficient in size to afford the requisite number of apartments neither can tlivy hr punished by confinement to hard labour ithin the limits of the county prisons. I be wisdom of tfie Legislature ill determine, whether any iurther provision ua this subject be at this tiaie no ressary; and rt found to be so, in devising a system, will, 1 have doubt, keep steadily in view the saving ef expense to the State, and the great objects of reforming oftenders an preventing crimes.

Connected with the subject of the pnni-huirut of permit me to cail nur attention to the expenees of their prosecution. i hesc are now a charge on the Treasury ot tin Mate, and of such an amount to continue a very considcrable item in the annual expenditure, it is vyorthy of tlie consideration of the legislature, whether tiii 'C expenees may not he diminished. On examination, find tiiat the law of Massnchuseits, establishing a ireuit Court of Common has not been revised and re-enacted and on turning to the ouni il records, that ti Justices ot that Court do not hold their tram the Executive ot this State, exrr jit swrh only as have been appointed to nil vacancies.
