Tt well as the crtizens, are allowed to choose in what arm to serve; their uniform and arms to be fur- nished at their own expenee. It is decreed that the civic guard shall appear under arms to pass review once ve! —namely,the first Sundays (the rej m January, April, July, and Oct | #nd in all cases provided for by the laws, which meludes the obligatory lability to mat fronuer, or into cantonment, in case of appre- hended invasion; and, in short, to serve in any emergency, ae militia may be required to do. After enternng no some details, which are un- amportant to my present purpose, the decree pro- ceeds to prescribe specific penalties for non-com- pliance with its requirements, the guard who shal! net appear at the prescribed reviews, is to sutier, for the first delinquency, ar- imprisonment—an arrest of twenty-four hours; for a second, double that length of time, anda very small pecuniary fin third, m addition, he shall i being incorporated into the troops of the line. “No 1 is here made between citizens and mere foreign residents, who do not enjoy the nights pertaining to that character. he promulgation of this decree caused great excitement among the foreign residents, who are almost exclusively of European origin ; and the consular representative of France—the only Eu- ropean one here, and under whose protection most of the foreign residents from the old world range themselves—protested against its provisions as applicable to them, and, moreover, directed them pot to comply with the mandate. ] States commercial agent, also, who resides at Puerto Plata, on the north side of the iskand, took ground againet it; and deputy here, at the capital, fer a list of whatever American citizens were resident here, he also sent directions to him to protest to the government @ againet the requisitions of the decree, in case an an intention on the part of the authorities to en- force it against citizens of the United States, should be manifested. : ‘The opposition made to the right of enforcing this decree against foreign residents, made by the had the eflect to induce the its terms in reference to this elass of the population, which he did in a supple- mental decree, dated the 29h of March.

On this account, the penalty against them wi'l be, for the first and second delinquencies, arrest and imprisonment in the Consistorial House—/os arrestos en la casa Consistorial—and the small prescribed fines; and forthe third. deprivation, or the withholding of patents, that is, licence to trade, &c., and of the right to exercise their profession or industry for the space of two years. The foreigners are fur- ther allowed by its provisions, to form a company by themeelves, which shall constitute part of a battalion. And lastly, they are not to be required to march to the frontier, or other cantonment, even though occasion should arise for the mobili- wation—or calling forth and marching--of the i 3ut they are required on such occa- sior s only, to take arms in the place of their resi- dence, ard place themselves at the service of the government for the purpose of protecting theirown (or its, as the pecvliat construction of the Spanish it with equal propriety to be translated, though the understanding of its mean- ing by the public here, is in accordance with the former construction, interests and the public secu- itv.

This republic, now—since the 27th of February last—en the filth year of its existence, has not yet been recogni: by any nation. Soon after the establishment of the present government, a com- missioner was sent to Washington, forthe purpose of obtaining its recognition by the United States. He did not, however, succeed in efiecting the object-of his mission. Since that time, this government has seat coin- miesioners io Europe, to endeavor to obtain the, Tecognition of the new republic by the ceurts of Spain, France, and Great Britain. The am has ever been to first obtain its recognition by the first of these three governments. Tnis is regarded as a very desirable, if not, indeed, a necessary prelimi- nary to obtaining that of the other two, om account ot the old unextinguished and unrenounced ti le to the crown of Spain to the territory of this, her ancient colony. ; es To make this clearly intelligible, it may be well to remaik that, by the treaty of Baele, some half century since, the territory of the old Spanish portion of the island, now embraced within, and co-extensive with, the limits of this re- pubbe, was ceded to France, ae I have stated in a former letter, who held possession until the year 1¢09 or 1810, when Spaia again resumed her an- cient title and possession, in virtue of the treaty of Paris, and contunued thenceforward to hold it under the rule of aya governors appointed by the Crown, until the 30th of November, 1821, on or about which particular date the Spanish Governor was deposed ina popvlar insurrection, put on board a veese], and sent home to Spain. The home go- vernment seems to have been too much oceupied with other aflairs to resent or notice this; at all events, this was the last governor sent out to rule the colony, and the inhabitants who had, on his expulsion, formed a provisional government, after much intestine and party strife, at last hoisted the Colombian flag. But that South American repub- hie declining to receave within its territoria! limits the proffered island colony, the inhabitants were again thrown back on their own governmental re- sources and abilities, and after many scenes of anarchy, they—or a faction of them, at least, for the thing is a matter of dispute here—invited Boyer to come and take po: cession of the country, which that dignitary responded to by marehiag his army to this city, as has been stated ina for- mer letter, in the year 1822, The occupation by Hayti, thus commenced, continues the chain of overriding titles, by occupancy, down to the year 1844, the era of its separation trom that republic, and of its erection into the present independent Dominican republic. This brief historical recapitulation—in some re- spects more complete than the account! have pre- viously given—shows the foundation and present state of the old Spanish title to the territory of this republic; a title which has been so long and so frequently over-ridden without protestation, by supervening ones, as to be now buried, one would suppose, almost beyond the power or reach of re- surectionary resuscitation, Ihave said, without protestation. That is not altogether correct for the whole of the above period, as will appear by the following historical anecdote, which I have from good authority, and repeat, partly to pre- eerve a historical fact of which there 18, I believe, no secord existing, on this side of the ocean at least, save among the musty public archives at Port au Prince, and partly to illustrate the politi- cal astuteness of the shrewd Haytien chief, Boyer. In or about the year 1827, the King of Spain sent an envoy, one Senor De Castro, to Port au Prince, to formally demand of President Boyer the sur- render to the Spanish crown of this part of the island, at that time constituting, as has been seen, apart of the Haytien republic. To his demand, made at an interview held for that purpose, the cunning black chiet replied that he had taken possession of it, at the solicitation of its inhabi- tants; but that he was willing and disposed to refer the question back to them, whether they would remain as they were, an integral portion of the Haytien republic, or return under the dominton of the crown of Spain. If they should decide by their popular voice, in favor of the latter course, he had no objection to their adopting it. No da- cided offence could be taken at a g0 seemingly fair proposition ; while, at the same time, the envoy knew as well as President Boyer did, what would be the result if the matter were to be submitted to this method of decision; for a large majority of the rresent citizens were recently emancipated slaves, and those who Rained with them from bein, of the same color and of a similar class; el these would, of course, have an equal voice with other classes of eitizens, in deciding the question which, to the emancipated portion of them, woul r return to servitude under Spanish masters. The envov herevpen took his leave, and the de- mand was prosecuted no further, The last despatches, within the writer’s know- ledge, received by this government from their com- missioners in Europe, were of the date of No- | vember lest, from Madrid, in which they express themselves as entertaining strong hopes of ob- It had, in been expressly promised by the Spanish minister; but his displacement very soon after, and the suecessive changes that rapidly followed each other, of a similar kind, had thus far delayed and prevented tne termma- tion ef the negotiation. Asto the recognition of this republic by the government of the United States, that is a ques- tion for the authorities at Washington, in their | wisdom, to determine for themselves. I do not | feel called upon, nor indeed am I disposed at pre- sent, to state what the opinion ef so humble an in- dividual as myself may be on this subject. I have thus far contented myself mainly with stating facts and circumstances of various kinds, leaving those who may read them—be they in authority or otherwise—to draw their own conclusions on this as on other points. There, at least, so far as re- gards this particular question, | shal! stop for the present. Hereafter, I may perhaps present my views, whatever they may be, on the point in con- sideration, supported by as good reasons as a somewhat faverable and tolerably well improved opportunity for arriving at corfect conclusions will have enabled me to bring together. AMERICAN Steamsurrs at Lrverpoor..—The Liverpool Dock Committee, at a recent meeting, have appropriated the N. EF. corner of the Prince's Dock to the New York Black Star line of packets.

Mr. Clay has been their head, and Daniel Webster their tail. pared when they were bribed, by the late Lord Ashburton and a stock-jobbing party in this pment to advocate the United States Bank and swi log Paper money, and its swind- ling agents Biddle and Jaudon all destroyed long since by the illustrious President Jackson), this vile party has been sinking in republican estima- tion, and it has now foundered outright. Clay daresnot stand for the Presidency ; and the :hree remaining candidates are al! democratic, diflering only, we are sorry to say, in their supposed mea- sure of hatred to the English government, and dis- position to do it a mischief or destroy it. It is sad to think that two nations of the same blood and language should, by the yesinge of a wicked system, be driven to the risk of hostility. Such, however, 1s the eaee ; and from the next Ameri- cin President, we apprehend that hostility will be feltin some shape by this country. For this un- leasant conclusion the following are our reasons. Of the three demoeratic candidates, we thiok General Cass and General Taylor have nearly equa! chances. Mr. Van Buren, nea as ‘ood a nian as either, has little chance. We loox, therefore, for Mr. Van Buren’s resignation betore the vote is taken. If he resign, the chances will run somewhat, probably, in favor of General Tay- lor, and against General Cass. Be theevent, how- ever, as 1t may—be Cass or be Taylor President — injury to England must, we think, be the result.— It may be shown after various fashions; but it will appear that General Cass is the favorite can- didate with that immense class of citizens of the United States that are sprung from recent emigra- tions from the British empire.. Great numbers of them are of frish origin ; the rest are Eegush or Seotch. In the breasts of this class there burns a deep and enduring hatred and detestation of the Enghieh system, which they consider as baving driven them trom their natural home, and as being the oppressor of the millions of their brethren that remain. This feeling is omnipotent in their breasts, nor is it a matter for wonder that it should be so. It is in vin to talk to these men the nonsense that still passes current with some in England, about “the rapid increase of popula- tion,” and the ‘inability of rulers to stop it !’— They aun at this language, because they know better. They know that in Mexico, where there has been little emigration, the white population declines ; so much so that, in Yucatan, the wild Indians were very near getting the upper hand.— These men, in short, know that where men and women live solidly, as in America, there is no increase of numbers, save from the emigrants ; and that the rapid increase 10 Ireland and England is the truit of starvation and potato diet solely.— Hence they attribute, and nghtly, the evil of “sur- plus population” to the crushing effect of taxation ; and thie taxation they, of course, attribute to the Enghsh system, which they, therefore, cordially hate, and may attempt to destroy as soon as they have the power to do it. Under these circumstances, General Cass, upon the’ ground of his bitter hatred of all that is Eng ish, 18 the favorite with this class of citizens; and if he be elected, we know what to expect. With General Taylor the case is different. Ia or- der to conciliate the friends of Van Buren and of Clay, he has, in some points, afleeted a modera- ticn at whieh his competitor laughs; but we ques- tion if their real sentiments materially differ. With General Taylor as President, the hostility would be fiscal rather than military. American manufacturers are suffering at present from the glut of British goods in the market, where they are selling at prices that hardly cover the freights. With the party of General Taylor a more strin- gent tariffis one point. If Taylor be elected, that will be one of his probable measures, and we fear it wall be felt by the millions in England and land most bitterly. Such is our view of this matter, so important to | Englishmen We appear to reverse the position of Jago, who, whether Cassio killed Roderigo, or Roderigo killed Cassio, felt sure togain. Our feel'ngs are the other way : for whether Cass beat Taylor, or Taylor Case, we afe sure to lose—and £0 must it now be as long as the present iniqui- tous system is suffered to survive amongst us. In paeeing over Mr. Van Buren, we mean no deroga- tion from his merits asa statesman. He is asouad politician, His country oweshim much. He it was who carried out the monetary revolution of Jackson, and by means of the sub-treasury act (which President Polk sdomee) established me- tallic money in the states, the one thing wanting to their full and solid prosperity. At present, how- ever, he has no chance against his more showy competitors; and upen the whole, as the friends of made some months ago,on the part of an- | has been the spontaneous call which emanated | vorable progress of Gen. Taylor's eanvass, since peace and prosperity to América as well as E: jand, we are sorry forit. He1s strongly supported by the negro slavery abolitionists, who, if they could succeed, by an energetic effort, to crown his election, would etrike an effective blow at American slavery, and thereby gain another triumph in favor of civilization, humanity, and the Christian religion. {From the London News, Oct. 23) ‘The general tenor of the 's from the United States leads us to infer that the election of Gene- ral Taylor to the Presidency 13 as certain as any- thing earthly can be betore it happens. If he be elected, the result will be creditable to the good sense of the American public. His election will show that organised combinations of mere trading politicians can have but a very brief existence in the United States. In America, as here, and indeed as in every | free State, leading public men must combine to form and uphold an executive government ; and the public who discuss the merits of their rulers, must distinguish such combinations by party names. Parties in free states originate in the ne- cessities ot society, and are formed at first by | men who regard ard use_ them only or principally as means to attain political objects which either are, or are believed to be, benefici But it is the | inevitable doom of parties, as they grow old, to come to be regarded more as means than as ends, and to become mere joint stock associations made | use of by political traders, The time that a peo- | ple takes to discover this metamorphosis, and | draw its neck out of the collar of a mere jobbing party, is no bad test of its intelligence. The ap- plication of this test to the American and British | publics is the reverse of flattering to our national | vanity. The political traders who began business in the United States under the designation of “democrats,” when General Jackson was elected President, will be scattered to the winds if Gene- ral Taylor is elected ; the “whig” tirm, now un- | dergomg a similar process ia this couatry, has carried on a business more or less lucrative for well nigh two hundred years. i Since the election of eral Jackson, the pre- sidential elections of the United States have been managed by a place-huat.ng, organization, the di- | rection of which has had its habitation at Was ington, and was framed under the auspices of Amos Kendall. It has gained voters by professing the principles of the American democrats; but it | has secured canvassing agents by the most un- blushing abuse of patronage. So lone as the Washington coterie could find a man like “old | Hickory,” to play their game, the electors were culied, but the election of a nonentity—a mere puppet, and tool of the kitchen cabinet—like Mr. Polk, was too much for “ Jonathan.” The result from men of ali parties—democrats, native Ame- ricans, and whigs—upon Ceneral ‘taylor, a man who is himself no pelitical trader, and who is not connected with any clique of political traders, to offer himself as a candidate for the presidency; and the extent and earnestness of the desire to put down mere political traders, is shown by the, fa- he frankly told the native Americans and demo- crats that he was a whig in principle, and the whigs, that he would not celebrate his accession to the presidential chair by holocausts of efficient and faithful public servants, who diflered from him and his party in political opimon, nor avail | himeelt of the power it conferred to overrule the | voice of the national representatives by vetoing every measure that ran counter to his party pre- possessyons. The election of General Taylor will prove he- yond adoubt that associations of mere trading i cannot strike deep or lasting roots in ot the Union. Buteven though he be defeated, they cannot survive. The actual state ot the canvass shows that the until recently as- cendant combination has received a lethal blow, and that one more election must inevitably com- plete its dissolution. It is curious and instructive to contrast the ac- tual position of the presidential canvass in Aimeri- ca with the vatieinations respeeting the Union, in which the Times, with reference to this subject, has indulged twice inthe course of the present month. The articles to which we allude can scarcely have failed to extort smiles of contempt from intelligent readers on the other side of the Atlantic. hen their writer sets out by declaring “It is not easy to take a side in American poli- tics,’ the most unreflecting are led to ask what nghtan Englishman has, or what usefal purpose he could serve, by “taking a side in American litics?” And what must be the intellectual cali- re of the journalist who eonfesses to a wish to do so? But such reflections are thrown into the back ground by the parade of a schoolboy lea ing, and display of practical ignorance which die- govern in the cxusting social relations and state | citizens can engage in such enterpris | then the commerce and pence of the country are of opinion ‘m the United ‘gates, “times for a Ma- rms, 8 Pompey, a Sy!\4, or s Obsar™ ‘ L emp ©’, the condition of society in the ee tes Waich pervades these articles might peases © r with silence, did not the habitual tone of Seaeal in wnat they appear, when treatumg of foreign affairs, betray a calculating system of pandering to national vanity by misre- presenting and undervaluing all other countries ; and did not the extent of its esrealation invtly an appre ion there 1s a large portion of the Bnitish public—and that not an uninfluential one in respect of wealth and status—that is pleased by this indirect and vulgar flatte If this coarse style ot appealing to the self-sufficiency of Eaglish- men goes down with them, we are in as bad a phght as the Chinese or the Spaniards. The Cas- tihan, some centuries ago, wrapped his ragged cloak about him,and pooh-poohed the Dutch and the Enghsh; but this did not prevent beth nations shooting far ahead of the Don, nor will our shut- tog our eyes stop the march of the Yankees. To all who ask, with the writer in the Times, “what security can there be in such a people” as the Americans, the simple answer 18, judge them by what they have already done. Their mercan- tile emporiums, and centres of refined and intelligent luxury on the seaboard—Boston, New York, Baltimore, New Orleans—and the indefatigable and triumphant exertions ot their pioneers and back woodsmen to reclaim the wild, show that they can make comfortable homes for themselves. The rivalry which we encounter from their mercantile flag on every sea, to which commerce has extended itself, ought to teach us respect for their energy and intelligence. They have all but driven our whalers from the ocean; they are bidding fair to engross the carrying trade ot the Asiatic Archipelago and China ; and no un- important part of our own most profitable com- merce ig that which we carry on with the United States. Let us think or say what we will of the conduct of their government, in its boundary con- troversies with our own country, and inits Mexi- war, we cannot deny that they have carried their int in both cases. In a letter from Miramichi— rem a judicious and reflecting settler and true loyalist, which we this day publish—we are told that those of our fellow citizens who enjoy the closest opportunities of scrutinizing the state and prospects of the Union, begin to waver in their allegiance to Great Britain, and talk of courting adoption into the republic. And if we judge of their politicians by results, not by hustings® ora- tions (as we judge our own reform-bill struggle by its event, not by the nonsense. which was spoken over the length and breadth of the land, while it continued,) we recognise the same rough practi- cal triumphant good sense which characterises their commercial and industrial enterprise. The truth is, that the relations of the English race, diflused, as it 1s, over the world, and daily spreading further and aroing: more dense, have already become in part, and will hereafter become to a still greater extent, international and not mere national relations. The two states-—the two governments—already fully developed and es- tablished in London and Washington, are natural and necessary rivals for pre-eminence among the Anglician Epprilstions wherever located. Their rivalry must be waged not by war or conquests, but by that high-spirited and intelligent develop- ment of national resources and national institu- tions, which confers true power, and conciliates respect, love, and submission, from those who need the aid of stronger states. The older of the two nations is still far ahead of the other in re- sources and influence; but if it wishes to keep the start which it has got, it must keep a waketul, and not ungenerons, watch upon the progress of its young, but energetic and enterprising rival. The Buffalo Hunt, The Arkansas (Little Rock) Banner contains the following letter from the Secretary of State (Mr. Bu- chanan) to the United States District Attorney for Arkaneas : Drrartryt or State, Wasnincron, August 30, 1848, Sim: Without any information upon the subject, ex- cept that which is derived from the public journels, there is good rearon to apprehend that certain citizens of the United States are now engaged in preparing & military expedition for the invasion of Mexico, Thvir object, it ecems, is to revolutionize the Northern States of the republic, and to establish what they denomi- nate the republic of the Sierra Madre. Such an attempt to exoite, aid, and assist arebelifon against the Mexican government would be a flagrant violation of our national obligations. If American with impunity, placed at the merey of adventurers, who may issue from the United States for the purposa of making war egainst foreign governments, These remarks apply to our intercourse with all na- tions; but under existing circumstances, they are more peculiarly applicable to the Mexican republic than to any other country. In the oth article of our Ia aty of peace] with the Mexican republic, it is expressly provided that the “ boundary line established by this article Il be religiously respected by Ly of the two republics, and no change shall ever ba made therein except by the express and ‘ree consent of both nations, lawfully given by the general government of each, in conformity with its constitution ;”’ andthe Pre nt, in his message to the Senate of the United e og creat tee a ecitaee that “the late reaty of peace fexico bas been and will faithfully observed on our part.”’ hi The Congress of the United States have done their duty te enforce, in good faith, our international obli- gations. They commenced this good work #0 eatly as June, 1794, adopting and enforeing the principles of Washington's celebrated proclamation of neutrality of the year precedin; ant passed several acts sub- sequently upon the sam ject : and finally, on the ‘20th April, 1848, they passed the ‘act in addition to the ‘act for the punishment of certain orim jainst the Uni States,” ard to repeal the acts therein mentioned.” This act has repealed all former laws to enforce our neutral obligations, and has embodied all the provisions which were deemed nece: peg It will be found in “the United utes at large,” vol. ili, p. 4 United States,” voi. vi, p. 320; vite your ial attention. If faithfully executed, it | wil found amply samcleny to Prevent, or to crush, e osed expedition against the Mexioan States orth of the Sietra Madre, © You will observe that, among other provisions, it is declared to be @ misdemeanor, p2nishable with severe penalties. for any citizen of the United States, withia the territory or jurisdiction thereof, to “accept and exercise & commission to serve a foreign priace, colony, district, or people, with whom the Unit States are at peace,” or for any person, whether a ci- tizen or not, within the territory orjurisdiction of the United States, to “enlist or enter himself, or hire or retain another person to enlist or enter himself, [or hire or retain another person) to go beyond the limits or jurisdiction of the United States with intent to be ed or entered in the rervice ofany foreign prince, state, colony. distritt, or people, as a soldier, or asa marine or seaman ;” or for any person, whether a citi- zen or not, within the territory or jurisdiction of the United States, to “begin or set on foot, or provide or prepare the means of any military expedition or en- terprise to be carried om from thence. against the ter- ritory or dominions of any foreign prince or state, or of any colony, district. or people, wich whom the Uni- ted States are at peace.” I have adverted especially to these provisions, be- ise they seem to be peculiarly applicable to the pre- Bt occasion ; but desire to cali your particular at- tention to the whole act. 1 am directed by the President to instruct you to use the utmost vigilance in discovering any violation of the provisions of this act throughout your district; and in all cares where the proof which you can obtain ball be deemed suflicient to warrant # conviction, to institute prosecutions immediately against the offen- ders. It is your duty also to warn all persons whom you bave reason to believe intend to violate this act, that they shall be prosecuted with the utmost rigor, in case they should persist. The honor, as well as the peace, of the country de- mands that no effort shail be spared to enforce in good faith the wise and salutary provisions of this law in favor of the Mexican republic, You are aleo instructed to keep this Department re- gularly advised of all the information which you can acquire on the subject of the alleged expedition agaiast the Northern States of Mexico, I shall expect an im- mediate acknowledgment of the receipt of this letter, together with all the information on the subject then im your porsession. eretary of War, under the direction of the ident, has this day transmitted to Major General ‘Taylor an order to execute the provisions of the eighth tection of this act, which, so far as the same would seem applicable to the present case, are as foilows :— ‘ ‘That im every case in which any military expedition or enterprise shall be begun or set on foot, coutrary to the provisions and prohibitions of this act, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States, or such other perton as he shall have empowored for that pur. pore, to employ sueh part of the land or naval forces of the United States, or of the militia thereof, for the purpose of preventing the carrying on of any such expedition or enterprise from the territories or juris- diction of the United States, against the territories or dominions of any foreign ‘inee or State, or of any colony, district, or people with whom the United States ration of the United State: shrs—Cen com, Halifax, N | Eugene, Coleman, Charlesto: lant, Place; Ann Dy Bedell; and Amphedious, Phelan, Norfolk: Anadine, Grithn, New! are at peace.” You will, therefore, not fail to commaa- nicate to kim any information now in your possession. or which you may hereafter obtain, that may be useful to him in the performance of this duty.
