preparations are going forward on the other side of the
boundary line. The British are busy erecting fortifica-
tions and barracks along the whole line extending from I
Passamaquoddy to Malden. Should a war now suddenly

well garrisoned, and in every respect well prepared to
meet the enemy.

tophe, to improve the state of education in his dominions,
and to visit England to procure means of instruction. In
the British capital he was received into the society of the
nobility, and made his home with Sir Joseph Banks, then
president of the Royal Society. The result of his mission
not being satisfactocy to the king, he left Hayti and r--

was settled over a religious society in Philadelphia. Re-
turning, after a few years, to Hayti, he was received with
favour, and actively engaged in the public service until
