(From the New Yorx Henatp of April 21. 1852] OUR PORT-AU PLATT CORRESPONDENCE. Powt-au: Prat, Domimican Rervsiic February, 1862. Annexation Schemes of France—The Dominican Republic and the Revue des Deux Mondes. Thave on former occasions addressed you, in order to draw the attention of the public to this republic, respect- ing which it pleases our present administration to throw dust into the eyes of the United States citizens. Witness the false information which the President officially stated in his meseage, that the differences betwesn the Domini- can republic and the Haytien empire were arranged, while such « desirable event is as far off as ever—thanks to the intrigues of (a belle France. Tsay so well advised: for if you will refer to the Revue des Deux Mondes, for May, 1851, its pages corroborate my asertion. That periodical, which is well known in our States, contains an article onthe empire of Hayti and the Dominigan republic, whioh, it is confidently reported, bas the French Coneul, Gen Reybaud, in Port-au Prince, for its author, and {s so filled up with mis statements and direct falsehoods, that one wonders how so respeota- blea pript can demean itself to insert similar stuff It is clumsily attempted, in these pages, to make it apprar to the world that the French protectorate, or sovereignty over St. Domingo, is the most ardent desire of the Domi- pican population ; while, in reality, if you except the President, Senor Bacz, (who, to his shame be it sald. is more Frenchman than Dominican,) and a amall clique of French residents, and their immediate friends, the in- habitants utterly despise Johnny Crapeau with hatred as the true Spaniard detests a Frenchman. Tam now resident here for some years, during which time I have watched the proceedings of the French ua- remittingly; and I must confees that the steady exer tions of France. under sil its different forms of govero- ment, whether monarchical, republican, or dictatorial, have only bad one sim—nawely, to get hold, under some plausible appearance of the Dominican republic, and to conquer afterwards the western part, under the black régime, with comparative facility, thereby restoring the ‘Queen of the Antilles”? to the dominion of France; or, if you will, since the Dictator has restored ‘the eagles”? of Napoleon to the French army, to the claws of the rapacious bird. which, aithough it may res mble ours in form, has no relationship with it in character. The supposition of an intended coup d'état in 8t Do- mingo is materially strengthened by the publication in the Revue des Dev Mondes, Louis Philippe, the late king of France, didjaot vemnture-to fly openly into the face of the Monroe maxim. although he longed much after the Peninsula of Samana which he intended to add to the mwarri {Pirie of Privee Montpensier, having flattered bimeelf that the Queen of Spain would give as dowry Cubs and Porto Rico to her sister, bidding the young Prince to set Samana up in opposition to Saint Thomas, end to render it in time the stionghoid of those seas, and the key to the Gulf of Mexico His dethronement and the revolution interrupted the intrigue; but scarcely had Louis Napoleon set firm foot upon the presidential chair, when the secret machina- tions were recommenced, and found » warm supporter in Senor Buenaventura Buez. the actual President of the Dowinican republic, clever, and educated in France, where he has imbibed French notions. The Recue des Deux Mondes tells us that this patriotic citizen of the Dominican republic wrote once to the French Consul in Port au Prinse:—You have only to indicate the means which you consider most appropriate to convince France of our sincere desite to place our: ‘elves under her pe werful protection whatever the sa- orifices may be which we must bring to obtain it’ I have ecarcely to add. that the bait offered was Samana, or even the independence of the republic, if K’ranse should desire it Such as may express astonishment at similar senti- ments from the executive of the Dominican republic, will be stil more surprised if they continue to read on for a sboet distance. They will find that Senor Baez, the President. has recently appealed to the Freach hoaor to induce the acceptance of the young repubito, lout net, and jarges that he hes in his hands propo ition which have been made to him by an American Charge d' Affairs, toe; -Domtvgo with full powers; “ but,” says the patriotic chief of the Dominican repubile ‘ys long as there is @ sperk of hope that France will socept my propositions, I will wait with resignation,”’ The author of these precious State decrees from St. Domingo accuses Mr Green of baving had for the ohjeot of his mission to produce the anuexation of St. Domingo to the United States. and that. although bis exertio: for such a purpore had been “brutal.” they had been open, while the English cabinet employed oniy intrigues, which altogether fai The objects of Mr. reen’s mission are well known—it ‘3 | was a job of the whigs—the son ot a polities! opponent to the admipistration was thereby employed. while the cabl- net. anxious to procure information about a republic of which scarcely more than the name was known. selected yourg Green, who, by the situation he bad formorly held in Mexico, seemed to be a proper person for the mission; but, from all I could learn and observe, from his actions during his stay here, he never aimed after annexation. Tcannet tell you anything of the intrigues the British cabinet is accused of, as I never beard of any; but I can well recollect the common talk of the streets. that Dr Carminero, then Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Do- minican republic had been at the English Consul’s, and offered bim the protectorate, promising that the British eclors eheuld be hoisted on the forts, if he would accept itin the name of bis government, and thi Benor Baez, who is now President. and wi Senator, went to the British Censuiate to the same effect. The answer which the gentlemen received was, that the Consul knew bis govercment did not sim after territorial agarandizement, but desired merely the prosperity of the young republic, hence their offer would not be ac- ceptable to his government. He added. however. should apy other color be hoisted on the forts than the Domini. cen fleg, it would be the signal to him to strike the Bri- tish fis, the Consulate This fact is 0 well known in the city that only a person who fabricates falsehoods io the manner the authors of the articles in question do, could asrert such fables. His aim is very olear; he accuves the Ministers of France of the most palpable neglect While the United States and England, he says, have uselessly endeavored to pro cure a footing in St. Domingo, it has repeatedly been offered to France. According to his view, w Bastide and his successors have been cedly deficient for not having per- mitted the tri-colored flag to be hoisted in St. Domin- go. Theirepprehensions of cflending thereby the United States, he styles childish. “Our lethargy,” he says, » ‘he lesa excusable, as there exist neither political nor finsncial obstacles that might be given excuse to prevent our flsg from flying at the peninsula of Samana, We have not even the trouble to carry it there—it re quires only @ monosyliable, a mere nod with his head, to conquer the finest maritime position and territory of the New World the future entrepot of the two hemispheres —the key to the two oceans. Why do you ray this so openly. may be objected to us. Good God! because it is well known, becaure the whole world, excepting our relves, are aware of it; because such a legitimate and handsome object must be susteined with the visor open; because others already dispute themselves publicly for the honor end profit to carry away thie faithful sentinel who tor the lert eight years has answered to the qui vive of barbarity—France ! Shades of Mopros, this at least is pisin! Under pre vious circumstances. the bombastic tendency of the arti cle would probably have raised little atvention; it is however. different with the Dictator, Louis Napoleon at the head of French affaire, and it boboves us, that la beile Fenoce be clorely watched M Raybaud the al General. has been in Paris to consuit the government re- epecting the annexation scheme; he was to leave France for the pu of returning to St. Domingo in this month of February. He is well known to hate us Amori- caps from the bottom of his heart, He wa: groatly bothered, when Mr Green arrived. and Raybaud tra velled all the way from Pert au Prince to the city of St. Demingo, lest Mr Greom might suoceed to win Senor Baez over to bis standard. On_ his arrival, he learned to hia great dismay, that Green had just left in the Vixen for Port au Prince. ‘ The brutal Yankee were hia observations, “ will bully the emperor,” and as fuse as be bad arrived, a5 quick he left again St. mingo Mr. (Green had, meanwhile, effected his mis sion, and teok his departure from Port au Prince. arriv- ing at this city shortly after M Raybaud nad sailed, and there guid pro que. or hide and terk, of the two diplo. matiets. were for » length of time the talk and amuse ment of the city, BREJTATOR.

Tho cabinet of the Tuilleries carried {nto this affair, which had just been prerented to it, that excess of timidity which formed the dis'inotive seal of its foreign policy. At length. on the 22d of December, 1843, a treaty was signed on the following basis :-— First. France should lend an effective support to the new Dominican republic, as well to conquer ita absolute independence as to maintain it. fecond, The Dominican republic should yleld to France the ptninsula of Samana, to founda permanent establish- ment. Thhd The French Gavernor of the establishment of Samana should be the direct personitication of the pro: tectcrate accorded by France to the Dominiran repub- ie a should be invested with full powirs to this effect, This treaty. acoepted by M. Ferdinand Barrot, was Tatified at Paris early. in 1844. Soom after, Franee ful- filled the firet engugement it bad acsumed, by causing the Dominican movement to be supported by Vice- Admiral de Moges, Commander of the Wes: India squadron, Strong in the alliance which he had secured.

General Lincoln was a man of rare qualitice— resolute, courageous, calm, upright, seund in jud, ment, sbove ail concealment, as be was free from all fear; one who was trustworthy and trusted in times that demanded the services of honest men and good citizens. He belonged to the class of horoes to whom Now Eoglsnd and the whole Union owe a debt of gratitude ; and bis dessondants deserve the thanks of the community, for obeying the prompt- ings of filial reverence, and placing overthe rema ns of their patriotic ancestor, in hisnative town, a com- memorative monument, that compor's so well with bis charactcr, and promises to remain & symbol of his manly, healthfat, and substantial virtues, to many generations. The marbie work of the monument was executed by Mr. Richard Barry, 732 Washington street, and is very creditable to him every way. The design is a fine one for its appropriateness, aud the workman- sbip is evidence ot an accurate and smooth chisel Mr. Barry, we believe, is the artist who executed the monument to General Dearborn, in the Forost Hille Cemetery, and also that to Dr Fisher at Mount Auburn, and bis works show that he possesses the taste and skill required in his profession. x Receipts or Corron at MAcon.—We find tho foliowing statement in the Macon Citizen, of Dec. 4: MONTHLY STATEMENT.
