The Effect of the News from Hayti— Movements of Cathoun and Pakenham—The Position of the Former—What will be Done? Your number of yesterday, which arrived here this morning, containing the important news from your correspondents in Hayti and St. Domingo, fell like a bomb shell among all the politicians, from the Capitol to the White House, and throughout every hotel, tavern, and oyster cellar in the city. “Have you seen the Herald this morning ?” said one. ‘No; “‘what is in it ?” said the persoa spoken to—* Why the d—I,” the first would reply—** go get a copy and read for yourself.” But alas, for his comfort, there were no Heralds to be be found after nine o’cloch.— Every place, where one could be found, was secured an order to read the news trom St, Domingo, which filled one entire page of interesting and important matter. In both aes of Congress might be seen groujs of members talking together upon the sub- ject, perfectly amazed, and wondering at Bennet’s industry in getting such information even in advance of the government. Nothing ‘that has appeared on the tapis during the last ten years was calculated to cause more excitement throughout this country and Europe, than the information thrown before the public in those letters, respecting that island, in your co- fumns. Oregon and Texas are completely cast in the shade by them, and it would not surprise me much, were I to see 10,009 men on their way to that island before one menth. They want sucha force there at this time, in order to rescue the island from megro domination, and restore it to the white race, to whom it properly belongs. I have heard a gen- tleman say, who has just returned from there, that tive thousand able-bodied men, in addition to the Dominican forces, would conquer, in forty-eight hours, the whole of that part occupied by the blacks. ‘There are no existing treaties between the United States and Hayti, to prevent our citizens from going there in any character they please, and I know, from what | have learned on the subject, that assictance of this sort would be accepted by the Dominican go- vernment, and ample provision made for those who would emigret? there for the purpose of sustainin, the white government and people against the blac savages, with whom they are conteading for liberty and independence. There is something serious going on here at pre- sent between Mr. Pakenham and Mr. Calhoun, in relation to public affairs. Whether it is the Oregon question or the St. Domingo news in the Herald of yesterday, that has started her Majesty’s represen- tative, I do not know; but 1 know this—that Mr Pakenham sent Mr. Bidwell, his attaché, in hot haste after Mr. Calhoun this evening. This close communion between the British Minister and the late Secretary of State, looks ominous of what is forthcoming in the settlement of our difficulties with England, and of the course which the six Senators named in my letter of yesterday, intend to take upon the final passage ot Mr. Allen’s resolution to sus pend the joint ocuupancy of that territory. The course that Mr. Calhoun has chalked out for himself and tail on this qaestion, will sound his death knell, as a favorite with the people, for ever. From henceforth, they will not discover any differ- ence between a Hartford Conventionist and a Nul- lifier. The term will be synonymous. . Senator Hannegan and Mr. Calhoun had quite a Sparring match to-day in the Senate. The latter of- fered a series of resolutions antagonistic to those of Mr Hannegan, and prefaced their introduction by some pertinent remarks. The whigas, if wise, can now check-mate both Calhoun and the war par- ty in the Senate, by voting for giving the twelve months’ notice—thereby bringing the whole ques- tionto an issue forthwith. This course, if adopted by them, would be tantamount to any tariff they might lay for the next twenty years, and give the | manufacturing interest of this country an impetus | which nothing elae could give it but a war with England, by excluding the whole of her manufac- tures from this country. But the whigs are bad po- liucians, and will do nothing, but like a pig in a paddle; cut their own throats in trying to swim out. ir. Calhoun will goin for annexing Cuba He said as much as this to-day, in his remarks. Whe- ther Mr. Levy was serious or not, 1n oflering a re- solution to annex that island to the United States there are those who consider the motion rather pre- mature, if not ill-timed. Among those are the Brit- lish Minister, who it is rumored, remarked when he heard of it, that “ Mr. Levy was aclever young man, but a very greata—.” Hist annexafionphobia for the South, does not altogether square with the opposition to it at the North. The people there will begin to think, by-and-by, that they will have to an- nex for themselves, without consulting southern po- iticians. Wasuineton, Dec. 30, 1845. «Another View of Mexico. General Paredes is a man of about forty-eight years of age; trailand slight in form, and not un- graceful, though maimed by the wounds of many battles. His eye in repose is as mild as sunshine, but when excited it gleams like the edge of his own good sword. He is known throughout the Repub- lic as “El Manco” Paredes—or, “the hand-wound- ed.” He may be considered the Murat of Mexico, as he knows no fearj in his almost mad and reck- Jess daring. He was once banished to this country, and as an exile studied our institutions and wor- shipped our enterprise. His American feelings are ‘strong, and 1n all business transactions he is a man of honor. Amid the thousand opportunities that he has had for amassing an immense fortune, his pov- erty has remained a monument et his patriotism. Te was his skill, energy and indomitable courage, that made Sania Anna President of the Mexican Republic; and when he trifled with the liberties of his beloved country, it was he who hurled the Dic- tator from place and power, and banished him an exile in a land of strangers. A favorite with the people—he is above the tawdry and garish military pomp and display that ofttimes cloys and disgusts them. A favorite with the army—he never [ost a battle. A favorite with the priesthood—he has ever advocated their rights, and been their steadfast friend. The commander of the forces, and gov- ernor of one of the richest departments of the re- , his influence is seen and felt throughout the . Such is General Paredes, who is the embo- of the spirit of reformat this moment in the Mexican empire ; he longs to have the abuses Swept away, that have so 1058 shed their blighting influence over that beautiful land, and to see her en- joying, in the pride of her eternal youth, the same privileges, blessings, and benefits that he saw so nicely distributed with us. And now, whatare the abuses? Permit me, sire, to answer this impor- tant question. I will commence with the laboring cle Receiving but about one dollar per week, with a peck pf maize, is but a small and scanty sup- ply fora family; yet this is all that the working class, or peones, getas areturn for their labors— and whenever a marriage or a christening takes place, they are obliged to call upon the owner of the estate, or his agent, the administrador, tor a small Joan, which, according to the present laws, places the laborer in his power; thus, if from. ill treat- ment, or from any other cause, he leaves the estate, and seeks employment elsewhere, he is very litde hope. The system of interior custom houses is _agreat draw-back to the prosperity of the country—it falls as oppressively asa hand of iron upon all the business classes, and especially upon the owners of haciendas and the owners of srall plantations. Every man who sends his products to town to sell is obliged to pay a stated duty upon every article, for the support of the government— thus a_fanega, or two bushels of maize; pay twelve and one halt cents—on all home products the duties amount, collectively, to about fifteen per cent, and an additional duty upon all foreign articles,amount- ing to one third over that collected at the port upon the sea-board. There are many other frets 1 at embarrass the prosecution of the inland commercial trade—yet I omit them, speaking only of the most glaring defects io their present system of raising revenue. The people already begin to feel the throbbings of a nation’s heart for relorm—that glo- rious word that, like the prophet’s ladder, 1s lit with beckoning angels, and the flickering light from the hiberttes of almost extinguished Spain, will beacon | Mexico, as the pillar ot fire did the Jeraelites, through the darkest years ot her political oppression, to that hour when she reaches the promised land of her iberation,by a union with the destinies of the United States. I think that | have now answered the ques- tion, as regards the abuses of the Mexican empire, ind that the people will never submit until the hidal- go chieftains have given the reform she so earnestly crave. With our enterprize, energy, skill and in- justry umited to her untold resources, and the generous and noble and chivalrons spirit of her peo- ple, to what an era of happiness and national pros- perity may we not look ! By pouring the sunshine of education ameng her masses—by an exchange of staples—by erecting courts of justise—extending per- | sonal security and the rights ct the ballot box—and, in fact, wiping away every ubuse, would it not be a merey, andneffable philant! ropy, a Christian charity, 4 national wary? Certainly—and worthy the con- sideration of the President, whose far-seeing policy and enlightened and liberal i god-like, opposition to many of the timid magnates of the age: who, in being at the head of cliques, torget the rights and liberties of enslaved millions, and the glory of making an exertion for the exten- sion of free principles, in truth and spirit. His last mceseige will ring upon the ears of the despots of the old world, like the tramp of a determined mob at heir palace gates—and generations yet unborn will read written in letters of gold on the brightest page of ourjnatienal history, an answer to that sig- nificant question, “Who is James K. Polk?” I feel confident that he will consider this subject, and take the means of creating a rivht influence among the people of Mexico, in favor of a union with this Republic. I feel that it can be done—nor is there any time like the present devoted to the church and priesthood of that much oppressed country; their views, feelings, and the peculiar situation in which they are placed—not daring to make any demonstration, for fear that it would fail. Nor would they have done so in the case of General Paredes, till endurance ceased to bea virtue—for the Dictator Santa Anna, havin, violated the constitution of Tacubaya, even hinted that the treasures of the church might be used, beneficially, for the government; and then they made an effort, and succeeded—but do not yet feel safe, nor they never will, until a further change is made. Foucue. Wasutnaton, New Year's Day, A. D., 1846, The Happy New Year in Washington, among Offi- cials and Unofficials—Summung up} of the; Peram- bulations of the Day—A Rather Anteresting Chap- ter for the Holydays. , Now, we do say, and without hesitation we say it, and without fear of contradiction we proclaim i: to the million of intelligent readers of the Herald, that Joha Tyler was a good old fellow, after all.— We cannot forget the delightful re-unions at the White House, under his administration. God for- bid that we should ever forget them. Never had we a President more socially popular than John Tyler. Never have we had a more perfect blending of the great functionaries of the govern- ment with the sovereign people than under the regume—the old Virginia regime, of John Tyler.— There was old John, and young John, one of the most elegant men of the age—there was our good friend Bob, the poet laureate, and his accomplished lady--there were the pretty daughters of old John— the charming,and modest,and unassuming daught of old John, with many of their Virgins tie Why, sir, they made the White House a most de- lightful place of resori—so_republican-like—so old Virginia-like was the administration of John Tyler. And we say, therefore, God bless old John Tyler and his pleasant family, and their beautiful friends, for the charmingly delightful reunions the citizens and strangers in Washington enjoyed under the popular administration of Old Veto. Last New Year’s Day, the last great day of old John at the White House, when his beautiful bride, and her charming sister, and their circle of elegant ladies, contributed so much to the transcendant fascina- tions of the White House—last New Year's Day, sir, we thought took the rag off the bush, in the way ofalevee. The day was so summer like, the crowd was go recherché and overwhelming, that we gave it up, as something that could not be sury But we must confess that Captain P alittle ahead of Captain Tyler. A little; that is, something considerable. From twelve o’clock to three the White House to-day, was from the pres- sure of the mass, the next thing to the Black Hole of Calcutta. | The front door at the north being insuffi- cient for the ingress of the vox populi, stairs were placed at the windows within the portico for the ad- mission of the ladies. And once inside, there was no other alternative than to submit to the current of | the pressure, which after the lapse of an hour or two carried us into Ogle’s Elliptical Saloon, where the accomplished J. Knox Walker stood ready to introduce every body to the Execu- | tive ei ee Mrs. Polk, Mrs. J. Kaox Walker, and their fair friends, acquitted themselves of the heavy duties of the day to universal admiration; every one was delighted with them. And the plainer the dreas in which the good citizen appeared, the more attentive was Mr. Walker «in the,eitizen’s reception. This was a very beautiful feature ot the occasion. Towering aloft above the crowd, was the Ppa plume of Gen. Scott, surrounded by his staff. Then there were the their rich and varied costumes, my and navy, and the topogray termixed Officers of the ar- ical engineers, 1n- with ostrich feathers, satin bonnets, bald heads, white heads, biack heads, red heads, big heads, little heads, heads, and all sorts of faces. All classes, castes, sexes and sizes, officials and uncflicials, were inex- plicably intermixed, as in a general melee. One would have thought the pressure the result of an experiment, to see how many people could be com- pacted together in the east room, and the interve- ning rooms, without suffocation. Several ladies actually fainted ; and but for certain considerate gentlemen, including your reporter, (if he may be excused,) several other of the ringlet and bright eyed tribe would have been trampled” under foot, or squeezed to death trom the affection of the people for the President, and their desire to wish him “a Happy New Year.

This same | class fare but little better in the larger towns, as they are liable at any moment to be seized upon for soldiers by the agents of the police, sans ceremonie, | and torn from their families, shut up in close bar. | racks for six months, rigidly drilled, miserably | clothed, and still worse fed, at the end of which | tume they are tied together with cords, in Squads of | from twenty to fifty each, and driven by an escort | of cavalry to the different points required by the | necessiti~s of the Government. They are about the | strangest looking set of soldiers that were ever used for any species of defence ; and they generally de- | sert in large numbers inthe case of an engagement, | whenever opportunity offers. This is the fate of the lower classes. Oppression stands Tampant upon their liberties. They have no rights at the ballot box, and are but little better than the landed serfs of the Russian empire; and our slaves are free in with them. A trial by jury, for ony offence, was never dreamed of in Menice; and as has been said a thousand times, they have but the shadow, and not the substance of a republic. The masses grovel in ignorance, yi . prey to the ‘worst passion: our natu! @ fair illustration of Pope’s ai Wisdom ;” and the upper classes fare but little better in their fortune Military chiefs are either stern and unflinching patriots, or prodigal, Beit dictators; and Mexico has been adm ly cursed with the latter class.

The old aay looks as hale, and fresh, and vigorous, as she did five years ago. Her head- dress was her favorite turban, and her whole cos- tume comported with her character as one of the fa- vored and beloved relics of the oldentime. Thence to_the venerable John Quincy Adams's, where the number of visitors was not so numerous. but of the best materials. Here we tasted our first refreshments, cakes, lemonade, and a pleasant bev- erage of hot water, sugar and wine, passed round on a large waiter in glass cups, with a convenient little handle on one side. Thence to Gen. Jesup’s, where, in addition to cakes and wine, there were two spacious bowls of egg nogg, and a side table ornamented with cold ham, sliced beef, bread and batter, and such like substantial fare. The venera- ble old Ce ape s ns Nigro {reotables, stood the parlor, and had 4 gooa word tor every body. The ladies of the hooen were not less assiduous to the entertainment of their friends.— Not a soul entered the door, who did not come away with the “fixed fact” of Caleb Cushing, that ‘sen. Jesup’s was a most excellent and agreeable tamily. Thence to Mrs. Gen, Macombe’s, where we found officers of the army and navy and citi- zens, a kind reception, a pretty little niece to assist ia the honors ; and where we had the pleasure ot drinking 4 “happy new year,” in a glass of perfect love.” It was gratifying to observe the respect of the young men of the army for the esti- mable widow of their late Major General, and equally pleasing the manner in which she received them. Thence to Mayor Seaton’s, who had quite a throng of distinguished Visiters, interspersed with his citzen guests. We took a sandwich at the Mayor s, and a taste of nis official -nogg. Thence to the oar of a litte quiet, imetleers cozey, warm-hearted, cultivated and’ comfortable circle of friends, where we dined upon @ roast tur- key, and afterwards almost forgot the events of the day in conversation, music and song.

Thence, past midnight, to our quarters at the United States, to record the events lay. In addition to the houses we had the honor of vi- siting,there were many otherg gpened to the people, though the custom is not here @ wniversal as in New York.

Calhoun and his fol- lowers upon the Oregon question, though expected from his previous views, and from the representations of | yourselfand your correspondent Ariel, has struck our | people with a feeling something akin to astonishment. | Notwithstanding the whiggery of this city and the bias | of her population towards a peaceful policy, the course | of the great South Carolinian is far from being univer- | sally approved. From the ranks of the democracy it will be met by one loud and unanimous note of censure, while the majority of the whig masses, if not actually joining in the condemnation, will look upon the act, if seconded by his party in Congress, as a con- temptible backing out by the democratic leaders, from the bold and confident tone of manly defiance which they assumed at the outset. In fact, there is in this commu: nity, and in every other throughout the whole Union, a deep eeated disgust at the truckling policy which have always pursued towards England. We never h failed to bey ery controversy with her with the est kind of language. She is, indeed, no match for us at brogging, but when the pinch comes, we as invariably relinquish our position and grant her nearly all she asks. to compromise by granting at least what she claims.

A. still, we are informed from the other ports of upon this article import- pico, Campeachy and Costefirma, will be leas than that upon Beef from Buenos Ayres ble, that in future we shall receive large supp! those places. The duty on Jerked Beef after the Ist of March will be $1,84 p r 100 Ibs. on that from the Uniten ; $1,44 on that from Buenos Ayres, and $1,832 upop that from’ Tampico, Campeachy and Costafirma. In Spanish vessels the duty will be, on the lst, $1,28; on the 2d, $1; and on the 3d, 92 cents per ql. This is accord- ing to Spanish calculation, with which merchants will bo satisfied, I have not the least doubt; however, | sup- ose the customs-| Le will find out that the calculation is not correct, as the duty on Jerked Beef from the United “States will be 27} per cent. upon $7 per ql.; from Buenos Ayres do upon $6, and from pico, etc. do upon $5 per ql., and on Spanish vessels 19} per ceat uvon these valu- ations. rg Codfish.—In consequence ef the receipts of the ether with the large importa- last mentioned article, to, tion of this and other kinds of fish. the demand has been fully supplied, and prices bi now with difficulty made at $: the Ist inst. amount to about 2 Barreled Peef, Pork, &c.—T! ticles, of which the consumption g for our present wants. Beet is worth from 10 per bbl. Pork, 14.017 do.; clear do., 17 219 do.; and in box- es, from it a 14} perql. Very little of the latter hes arrived lately. rn butter is scarce, but of that fit for cook- Good no! ing purposes, there is a good supply. Goshen is wo th $26 per ql. About 86 ‘qlseot all deccciptions have arrived from the U. 8. since the Ist inst. Cheese has gone up about $2 per ql; it is now worth from $10 a $15 per 100 Ibs. We have received but a few qls. trom the north this month. Flour.—Very little Spanish has come in this month, and but 50 bbls. from the U. 8. New Orleans is worth from 16a 17 per bbl., but it is probable that small importations would bring it down to 15}. The tast sales of Spanish were at 11} for good, but wo suppose the next | arrivals will be sold at ahigher rate. Rice continues dull, the amount unsold is about 800 lerces, price 6] a7 per 100 Ibs. | After the Ist March the duty on Spanish rice will be but 16c per ql., whilst the duty on American will be $1 63. With regard to our future tariff, from ‘amina- tion I have givenit, it appears to me, that the cha ge has been made to favor Spanish commerce and shipping ra ther than to increase foreign commerce.
