OPROIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEWYORK HERALD. —~ BBASON WHY THE TEHUANTEPEC TREATY WAS RE- TEOTED BY THR MEXICAN CONGRESS— LETTBR FROM PRESIDENT ARISTA TO PRESIDENT FILLMORE—THE DEMANDS OF MINISTER LETCHER, ETC. te ‘Wasnixoron, May 13, 1852, Thave sens letter from a distinguished gentleman in Mexico, to a friend in this city, which contains im- portant and interesting information as to the relations. existing between this country and Mexico. The in- formation is authentic, and may be relied upon. ‘Tt was understood in the city of Mexico, that President Arista had, om the 10th of April, after the rejection of the ‘Tehuantapes treaty, addressed a letter to President Fill- more, stating all the facts of the difficulty as regards che position assumed by Mr. Letcher, the American Minis- ter, who was informed long before the treaty was rejected ‘by the Mozican Congress, that it had no chance of being » watified—there being but one man in either House of Congrom in favor of it. But it was intimated to him thst the government was willing to grant the right of way across (he Isthmus of Tehuantepec to the New Orleans Company, if they would cease to press the Garay grant elsim —a claim which the Mexicam people were unanimously opposed to, on the ground not only of its expiration, but that it was obtained by ‘Delbery, and conveyed @ vast quantity of land—ten leagues om both sides of the road—for the purpose of col- ‘Mr. Letcher wrote to Mr. Benjamin, the Prosident of the Tehuantepec Company, requesting him to come to Mexico and try and arrange the matter, by abandoning the Garay grant, and accepting a new grant for a right of ‘way alone: But Mr. Benjamin did not go. ‘The Tehuantepec treaty was rejected by the Mexican Congress, with but two dissentient votes, Immediately thereupon, Mr. Letcher addressed the Mexican govern. mont the ultimatum of the government of the United States, which declared that the Tehuantepec treaty, re- cognising the validity of the Garay grant, must be con- ' * Sirmed by the Mexican goverament. No other arrange- tment would for a moment be listened to, “SRY » Te-wap-emder such circumstances that President Arista ‘Gddressed himself directly to President Fillmore, He ac- ! knowledges the weakness of Mexico, and the greatness of the, United States, and makes s touching appeal to the magnanimity of a great nation, not to force a wrong upon e weak péople. He declares there must be some mysterious influence which induces the United States to @ndeavor to force Mexico to ratify « treaty reviving a defunct grant. He says that the government and people Of Mexico have every desire to throw open the Tehuan- tepec communication, and instances the fact that the day previons to his writiog bill had been introduced into the Mexioan Congress authorizing the government to of- ‘fer the right of way across the Isthmus to any company which would build a rond; but, as for the Garay grant, i¢ would not be recognized, even if the United States forced ‘upon Mexico the full extent of the threat contained in the ultimatum—war. Ido not know whether this letter has yet reached the President, but I suppose not, as the New Mexican Minis- ter has ‘not yet beem presented. It is impossible to bo- Ueve that Mr. Letcher has not exceeded his instructions in pressing Mexico too close to the wall, aud there is lit- tle doubt but. that the appeal of Arista will bring ebout ® peaceable settlement. ‘The right of way is all the peo- ple of the United States can desire—the vast tract of sand which the old Garay'grant provided being = matter purely of profit and loss to th® company, and which, if the gramt is valid, can be recovered in the Mexican courts. i P X.Y Z. ‘THE HULSEMANN AND WEBSTER DIFFICULTY— LETTER OF THE FORMER ANNOUNCING HIS ™ WAT) BPO ragiisorox, May 18, 1852, I telegraphed at the time of Chevalier Hulsemann’s Geparture from this city, that he hed addressed sn in- sulting’letter to Mr. Webster.

The verbal expla nations aud assurances made to him on these occasions had been’followed by no change in the manner in which his transactions with this government were treated by the public press. That, particulatly, some article published im New Orleans, bad recently been the occaston of the Austrian ministry suffering considerable unpleasantness and annoyance, Under these circumstan- -oea be considered it his duty to withdraw from any longer relations with the government, which could only be con- tinued through the medium of one who wasa promoter -of Kossuth, and unfriendly to the Austrian government and, therefore. that Mr. Belmont, Austrian Consul Gene- Talat New York, would horeafter, if occasion required, ‘be.the means of such communications as tho Austrian goveramiont might have to make.

To THe Eprror oF THE Lonpon Hara.p:— The recent accounts from Jamaica are most gloo , and we learn that orders have been received there to abandon the cultivation of sugar on many estates, unless it can be produced at a price hitherto ved to be im ible; and Mr. Price, also, a Kisna of Mr. Cobden’s, who was sent out some years since, from Liverpool, with credit to a large eeigees | to buy up the depreciated sugar perties, teach the stupid old planters the scientific and profit able mode of sugar-growing—which, by the by, he most signally failed doing, having got less pro- dugg from the same land than the stupid old plant- pe before—has now stated the impossibility of growing sugar with remuneration, in the pt cendition of the island, and the low range of prices caused by the act of 1846, and slave competition, although the British free-ldbor grower has still a differential duty of some 4s. 6d. in his favor. If this be the case in Jamaica, we may be sure the pressure is felt more or less in all tho other islands. But what do I have in contradistinction to this, of countries where sugar is. prod by slave labor? In Cuba, for instance, it is stated that in addition to the imports of slaves from Africa, an English house has contracted to supply them with 8,000 Chinese laborers, at £25 per head—at least go says the Economist. Now, I think the following figures will point out how the Cubans are wise in their generation in importing both free and slave bor. The Cubans, with their bloodhounds, lash, strin- ent though supple laws, strong police and military ataz will take good care the Chinaman, whose phy- sical strength is quite on o par with the African slave, shi ive a fair day’s work for a day’s wages, and under their mode of treatment will find him mee possibly more profitable than the raw African lim of a slave slave's werk, at 16-years; and bis cost, pore ears of age, when landed in Cuba, ‘£10. ow, & aman landed in Cuba in health, witha fair re of agricultural knowledge, which thdy all pos- , orit may be that he has been in China a car- penter, or mason, or blacksmith, or sugar boiler, or any other useful craft which commant high wages in Cuba, would, as compared with the raw slave from Africa, after undergoing the horrors of the mid- dle passage, be worth at least £120. Any handi- craftsman in Jamaica, prior to the emancipation, was worth double an ordinary field slave. The Chinaman, on landing, we will say for form’s sake, shall be indentured to the planter for 10 years, an: say his wages shall be Is. Gd. per day, and the. figures will stand thus:— Cost. of landing a Chinaman in Cuba.... £25 0 0 Interest on for 10 years, atl0 percent 25 0 0 Wages Is. 6d. es day, for ys per annum, for 10 yoars.....+...sseeseeee Mortality and depreciation, 8 per cent, on, £25 for 10 yoars....essseseescereees + 20 eeeeeee se eceeerecsseneese. £285 0 0 ve of same sme snd Bete Total.

The insurance of life, again,-is in favor of the Chinaman. he Cubans have doubtless made their calcula- tions by the experience of those Chinese they have already in the island, and are fully competent to judge of the wise laws propounded by Mr. Econo- mist Wilson and others, that free labor is more eco- nomical than slave labor, and will take oare of themeelves. But the same class of Chinamen intro- duced into Jamaica would, with our laws and our regulations, and with the example before them of the idle squatting Propensity, and the inclination to demand bigh wages, of the laboring population there. be, in my opinion, useless for woud and con- tinuous labor at a rate the planters could afford to for the day’s work a Chinaman would feel Lo Mew to give, as.daily Isbor and contract labor the Chinaman also fully understands how to take If Jamaion had a code of labor regulations simi- lar to the Danish island of St. Croix, then, I think, ‘ou might introduce them with great advantage.

Let European Journals and travellers, who have heretofore manifested & great deal of pride, andexhibited much vain boasting on the score of tho great superiority of Europe over this country, in being blowed with kings, and queens, and princes, Be henceforth silent on the matter, si we can new boast of an emperor of our own, who—Mibugh his akin be black, his hair woolly, and his wardrobe scanty— can yet bear favorable comparison with any Crsar of them all. Tiis august Majesty and his royal consort wore crown- ed with all the pomp, and-forms, and ceremony necessa- ryin the grand operation, in his capital of Port au Prinoe, on the 18thof April. The crown which adorned his royal pate, and the splendid robes which covered his glossy hide, were manufactured for him in Paris, accord- ‘ng tothe most approved pattern and design. The arri- val of the emblems of royalty—his crown and sceptre— was celebrated in his dominions with salvos of artillery and general illuminations, They were conveyed in grand Procession from the dock where they were disembarked, to the vaults of his palace, and sentries were placed over the precious commodities until the day of the corona- tion. The gems which glittered om his diadem were taken from those of his loyal subjects who possessed them, and the jewelry which shone om his spangled robes was also procured by the same right royal means. But Soulouque, following the custom of European monarchs, rewarded those whom he had thus despoiled, by bestowing on them for their services to the State, titles, and grand crosses, and ribbons, without limit. The coronation was fixed to take place:on the 11th of April; but hor Majeaty the Empress, determined to enact her part with as much splendor as became her rank, was Gissetisfied with her share of the jewels, and kicked up @ grand muss with her. imperial consort, from whore head ehe snatched » large sharo of ite matu- ral woolly ornaments, A postponement of: the ceremony was the consequence, and in the interim, great exertions were made to gratify the desire of her Majesty. But Soulouquo’s attempts had completely “ despoiled the Egyptians,” and there were no jewels to be had among them. In this critical emergency, however, the’ foreign merchants, and consuls, and residents were petitioned to Give their assistance, and through them the vanity of the Haytien Empress was satisfied, Then came the great and eventful morn of the 18th of April. day to be comme- morated in all the annals of royalty. It was ushered in ‘with tho roaring of artillery, the display of imperial flags, anda grand military and civic procession. Soulouque and his smutty consort were escorted with great pomp to the tent which served as a cathedral, surrounded by princes, and nobles, and generals. Having entered, they took their seats under a royal canopy, and be- forethem knelt their son—the heir of all their great- nets—the {illustrious Prince Bobo, The solemn high macs was chaunted, and the representative of Pio Nono poured on the woolly head of his Majesty the sacred oil, Dpom it the imperial erewn. Prines Robo then and placed invested him with the aword and sceptre; the ceremony was concluded, and the roof rang with soclamations of ‘: long live Faustin the Firrt, Emperor of Hayti.” The shout ‘was taken up outside—the air echoed to the loud blasts of the trumpets, and the vivas of the loyal Haytiens—the can- nons joined their thunders to the general uproar, and Faus- tin the First was proclaimed Emperor throughout his wide dominions. The festivities ceased not with the day, but continued throughout the following ten days, which were declared a time of jubilee. The Hnglish and French Consuls received the worth of their jewelry in crosses and ribbons, but the represontative of the United States was not so honored, he not having had the whorewithal to supply she demand for trinkets. A cross of the Legion of Honor is to be sent to Chevalier George U. Downing, the New York oysterman, for his defence of the nogro race against the pale faced Bnglo-Saxons, As an appendix to this great coronation ceremony, wo have heard, on good authority, that the Em- peror has already sanctioned the sending of an em- basey to Lola Montes, to solicit her hand for the Prince Bobo, whom she heretofore rejected. Prepara- tions ere being made on a grand scale, so that Lola will once more have the chance of playing her favorite part in the character of queen, The reprosentation of this farce ought certainly to satisfy all creation that Hayti is » great Empire—that Soulouque and his dingy consort have proved themselves worthy of their royal brethren in Europe; and that the nogroes of San Domingo are good imitators of their more polished white brethren living under imperial sway in Europe. The Haytiens are incapable of independent thought or action, and merely burlerque the empty and meaningless parade of other nations. They are fast deteriorating in intelli- gence and civilization. The negroes of the British West India Islands are also tending towards the same point; and if their independence were given to them by the English government, they would soon have their Empe- rors, in the same way as Hayti. It is a strange reflection that theextremes of African barbarism and Huropean refinement display such close similarity in these ridigu- lous and silly éxhibitions. Les extremes se touchent.

NATIVE. Theatrical and Musical. Although this is a season when the various rell- gious denominations are rendering an account of their stewardship for the past twelve months, and all the po- Aitical cliques are busily engaged in the advocacy of the interests and welfare of their favorite candidates for the next Presidency, still the theatres and other places of amusement in the city are nightly crowded. From this it would seem that the Thespian templés have more votaries than all the rest, and that the people think an hour's innocent recreation cannot in any way interfere with the epiritual knookings of the age; and that it is physically necessary to intersperse # little pleasure and. delight amidst the scenes of anxiety and toil to which poor mortals are subject, in their terrestrial sojourn.

Broapwar Tueatne.—This well managed establish- ment was never ina more prosperous career than during the present theatrical season. Mr. Barry, long and: fa- vorably known to the visiters ot the old'Park theatre, has filled the managerial chair: and, we bolieve, since his first effort, Mr. Marehall has reason t0-be pleased’ with his selection ofa man of talent and sound judgment,. who is every way calculated to suit the wishes and tastes: ofthe frequenters of the metropolitan: theatre. During Mr, Forrest's unparalleled engagement as a star, the house was every night filled. At present, Charlotte Cushman, is playing a farewell engagemont to the stage, and the houses are wellattended: Although we do not admire thislady in some characters, yct there are others in which she has no equal—she has = perfeet knowledge of stage business, and reads correctly. The company at the Broadway is very good; and the orches- tral department was never better conducted. The mightly receipts amount to about $600. Burton's Trxatar.---The most triumphant success has attended the exertions of Manager Burton, since his first opening in Chambers street. The house is every night filled, and many persons are often obliged to leave; not being able to find peeping room, Burton's great success depends mainly in the excellent artists he has always engaged ; the location is greatly in bis favor, but, were the old Park in operation, we think he would: haves troublesome competitor, Heis @ man of tact and intelligence, and is ever on the gui rive to: produce. the most novel features of theday. With such artists as Dyott, Blake, Lester, Johnston, Bland, Mrs, Skorrett, Miss Weston, and Mrs, Hughes, he oan produce all the old sterling comedies with the utmost effect. His re- coipte nightly are $550. Lyceum Taratre.—This place of amusement, which is under the management of Messrs. Corbyn and Buckland, We are glad to perceive is muking some headway, and many of its old and respectable patrons are now to be seen there, The particular star is Miss Julia Bennott, who appears every evening in the most amusing, light, and laughable dramas She is an excellent actress, » Pleasing vocalist, and has « very prepossessipg appear- ance. Also, Miss Adeline Patti, about ten years old, who has made a deep impression by her exquisite voval ability. She sings several of Jonny Lind’s songs with the most finished artistic skill, Her execution is delight- ful; and, with a compass of voice of fully three ectaves she blends the chromatic scale with gteat evenness and perfection. The receipts nightly are from $250 to $300, Astor Prace Orrna Hovss.---Mr. Brooke, the trago- | dian, has rented this establishment for rhort season and has been playing Shakspearian and other pieces for the last four evenings; but with very little success. Mr, Brooko is a good Actor in many respeots, but by no means Posseesing that classic style for which Edmund Kean and others of the old school wore so justly celebrated. The | company he has engaged are below mediocrity, and con sequently his success, even with perseverance, is vory | doubtful. The great history-of success in the drama, so | far as managers are conecrned, ia to have every man a | star in his peculiar line of acting, The reovipts of this houee cannot exceed $200 at the outside. | Bowery Turathe.—Mr. Hamblin was mever bottor aus | tained during hislong dramatic careor than at the pro- | sent date. He has lately introduced s dramatic romance, from the Frenc! *h, entitled the ‘Corsican Brothers,” whioh, we believe, was first produod in Paris, and subsequently in London by Charieg Kean, with the greatest success, Although there seems to us to be nothing of s plot in the plese, yet. the tadleaur aro beautiful, and Mr, Eddy sus | tains the characters of the Twin Brothers, Fabian and Louls, with admirable ability. The houses, for the past fortnight, have been well filled, and the audienoes give marked testimony of thelr pleasure by enthusiastic cheers, Nightly receipts, $400. Nariowan Taxatne.—DNhis old establishment, which is | unger the management of Mr. A. II. Purdy, is orowded nightly in every department, If other theatres manago to pleaee the Upper Ten, he seems to have a happy mo- thod of gaining the good wistes snd support of the mid- die and working classes, by the seleotion of light and amusing dramas, He has recently produced a now pleco, entitled the “ Blacksmith of Antwerp,” whieh is drawing well. aud is now in its sixteenth night of reprosentateeh, Mr. W. G. Jones, N. B. Clarke, and Mrs. H.¥. Niphols are tho partioular fcatures of the company. The. receipts nightly are $376. .
