Our cor- Fespondent makes his information the more valnable by furnishing us with a table, made up from authen- thentic sources, showing the number of Africans im- Ported into the island during the first five months of this year, the vessels which brought them, the ports at which they were landed, and the disposition which was made of them. We comment on thig intelligence at some length in an article in another column. The spirit of insubordination which has been so Jong prevajent among the inhabitants of Venezuela, has at length assun.ed a tangible shape. Our cor- respondent, writing under date of the 20th ult., states that the movements of the revolutionists had been hastened by President Monagas, who had demanded and obtained dictatorial powers. Generals Marino and Carlos Castelli, both experienced and distin- guished officers, have joined the disaffected, the former having two thousand men under his immedi- ate command. Forcible opposition to the govern- ment was taking place in different parts of the country, direct communication between Porto Cabel- Jo and the interior was cut off, and the revolution ‘was considered as having commenced in earnest. Affuirs were more tranquil at Hayti at the date of ovr latest advices. It will be seen, from the letter of our Port.an Prince correspondent, that the grave councillors and valiant soldiers of the sable empire were all thrown in the shade by the arrival at cout of Bishop Spaccapietra, the apostolic delegate of Pius the Ninth to his Majesty Faustin the Firat. The oiling of the coronation ceremony was brought toa very thriving conclusion by the speech of his lordship. We to-day pablish another lengthy but very inter- esting article relative to the Chinese Empire, in which we particularly sketch the history of the two dynas- ties, Tartar and Chinese, now contending for the throne. As mors than one-fourth of the inhabitants of the globe are immediately concerned in the strag- gle going on for the sovereign mastership of that im* mense country, it is important that the rest ef man. kind--especially the Arsericans, who are so deeply interested in a commercial point of view—should know all about the various systems by which the Chinese have been governed, as well as the peculiar social and religious tenets of the people themselves. ‘The article discloses many curious and extraordinary facts uot hitherto generally known. Those who are imbued with the spirit of military enthusiasm, who approve of being at all times ready to defend the honor and integrity of their country, will not fail to read the report of the annual examination ef the Cadets at West Point. The remarkable pro- ficiency of the pupils in the different branches ap- pears to have given the greatest satisfaction to all woncerned—being creditable alike to officers and cadets. With such officers to lead them as those who graduate at West Point our countrymen are traly invinc!L, as was aptly illustrated on the battle-fields of Mexico. Such officers speedily transform raw recruits into soldiers of the most superior discipline thus convincing uf that we are perfectly secure under any emergency that may arise without resorting to the monarchical expediency of a large standing army. The address of Hon. Kenneth Raynor, which we publish at length, together with the report of the Visiting Committee, are replete with interest, and will, no doubt, be read with pleasure by all classes of society. Now that the multitade of office seekers has dis. appeared from Washington city, and that place has atlength resumed its wonted summer quiet, it is worth while to glance around and ascertain how the spoils have been divided bythe new administration. With this object in view we have elsewhere furnished 2 correct list of all the appointments made by Generai Picice since his inanguration. This will probably be considered by politicians the most v ¢ ivforma- tion we could spread before them at this time. Th list tells the story as to who has been rewarled, aud that is precisely what they want. ‘The New Orleans cotton market is reported to hav been very dull « Saturday, bot there wa ticeable change in prices, fifty bales were received, no n0- | | Only one handrec | xported. | Two hotels, ten stores and dwellings, and three | lumber yards, together with much other property | | nd non were were destroyed by fire in Cambridyeport, Muss., ye terday.

If it be possible to throw additional light on the condition of Cuba—if any reasonable man can entertain the slightest particle of doubt as to the dealings of the Spanish officials, and the progress of the slave trade—we shall not regret the large space we have elsewhere devoted to Cuban correspondence and statistics. To those who have attentively perused the accounts we | have published. from time to time, of the land- ing of cargoes of slaves, with the connivance of the Captain-General, fresh details of similar oc- currences will convey no new information. Our Cuban intelligence of to-day will only ac- quaint them with the fact that the state of things against which we have ceaselessly ex- claimed, for the last two years, exists unaltered at the present moment—that no change for the better, and possibly none for the worse, has taken place—that vessels are monthly des- patched to the coast of Africa. to seize and kid- nap the defenceless natives—that thousands of negroes are thrust into the holds of these slavers, subjected to such inhuman treatment, and supplied with such inadequate food and air, that a large proportion invariably die on the voyage—that the survivors are landed on the coast of Cuba, in the dominions of a power pledged to suppress the traffic, with the full knowledge and corrupt sanction of the official authorities—that the representative of the Spa- nish crown, with the knowledge and con- sent of his .masters, derives an income from this deliberate violation of the faith of treaties—finally, that upwards of 9,000 slaves having been landed in Cuba since the first of January—are facts established beyond the pos- sibility of a doubt. It is now also ascertained, with equal certainty, that neither diplomatic remonstrances at headquarters, nor local super- vision by vessels of war, nor even the terrors of retributive justice in the shape of foreign invasion, are of the slightest avail in recalling the Cuban authorities toa sense of honor and good faith. Friendly counsels from allied powers, angry notes from Lord Palmerston, threatening messages from Lord John Russell, remorseless vigilance and severity on the part of the British men of war, filibustero activity and daring, and other ominous portents on this side the water. have not for one moment arrested the lawless career of the authorities, or awaken- ed the Spanish government to a perception of its danger. It is utter folly to shut one’s eyes to these facts: absolute insanity to expect that a con- tinuance of the same measures which have failed so signally during the last two years, will hereafter prove more effectual. As reasonably might we place reliance on the word of honor of the Captain-General. If the Cuban slave trade is to be suppressed, it must be assailed with new weapons. and a new system of tactics. Acting on this persuasion, the British gov- ernment are endeavoring to organize an inter- nal opposition to the slave trade in the island of Cuba itself. They do not address the Creoles, who alone ought to decide the matter, but they call upon the Captain-General and authorities to grant to the 500,000 negroes, who are techni- cally termed emancipados, the fall rights of freemen and citizens. For the demand they have a tolerably substantial pretext in a treaty formerly extorted from Spain by Great Britain. To grant it, would, ot course, be’ equivalent to surrendering the island to the blacks, who would promptly expel the Spanish, and erect a second Hayti at our doors. That this scheme would attain the proposed end, there can be lit- | tle room for doubting. Unfortunately, its effects | would not stop here. A black empire of Cuba could be nothing but a protectorate of Great | Britain; and the most superficial glance at our | geographical position and institutions must at once point out to British statesmen that we could not. if we would, tolerate its establish- ment. Hayti, as a caricature of monarchy, serving only to provoke our merriment and toil- lustrate the impracticability of negro indepen- | dence in America, may be allowed to complete its ephemeral carcer,as a lesson for the instruction of | mankind; but Cuba, with its inexhaustible re- sources and rich soil, the key of the gulf. and the watch set by nature on the great southern cutlets of our country. would wear a very dif- ferent aspect if its possession were surrendered to 500,000 blacks. Mere self-protection would oblige us to undertake its conquest. Common prudence would dictate the necessity of remoy- ing so dangerous a neighbor from the vicinity of the Southern States. No form of government or constitution could alter the case. It would he out of the power of the emancipados or their | friends, to offer us any guarantee that would reconcile us to tolerate a black empire within three days sail of our coast, or to allow the key of the Southern ports to pass into other hands than our own. If the negroes could summon all the powers of Europe to their aid, it would not change our dispositions. A war with Eng- land we should deeply regret as a dire cala- mity; but even that would be preferable to the other alternative. A due regard to our own safety would, in fact, leave us no option. Some other means of curing the evil must be devised. A scheme which will ef fectually eradicate the slave trade, without ruining Great Britain, or jeopardizing her relations with foreign countries, is now the great desideratum which British ingenuity is eagerly secking. We shall be glad to hear the result of their investigations. The subject is one in which we tuke as lively an interest as they ; no solution of the problem which would be satisfactory to them, would be otherwise than gratifying tous. At the same time, we frankly confess that we can conceive but one. We entertain the highest opinion of the inge” nuity of British statesmen; but we shall be greatly surprised if the ultimate result of their delibe ons is not a firm conv m that the desired end c y be obtained by procuring the annexation of Cuba to this country. No other course holds out an actual certainty sion of the slave trade. Other sarily involve a rupture the universal outery und at the time of the fish n onl of the pre ery dispute, alone shows how such an event be relished by the British people. No y dare propose it. At the annexation ¢ Cuba to the United States, the enormor nual expenditure ich Engiand incurs f the ma nance of flects on the consts ¢ Africa and Cuba would cease. This i likely to vb e present school of British under its gov T, has little or no traffic consideration by no means overlooked by sent ment and at urd t | with England, If it belonged to us it would Lecome as good a customer of Great Britain as any of the other maritime States of the Union. I f the island were purchased by this couatry, it would be an casy matiwr for Grout \ share alike. Britain to require that a portion of the price should go to pay off the Spanish bondholders. As the case now stands, their claims are little better than waste paper. The finances of Spain are becoming more and more disordered every year, and Lord Palmerston would find it no easy task to fulfil his threat of enforcing pay- ment from the government of Spain. Some day a Spanish revolution will take place, and the first act of the revolutionary government will be to repudiate these bonds. British capi- talists will then think that they would have disptayed thore wisdom had they insisted on the transfer of Cuba to the United States, and received some fifty millions for their pains, in- stead of harping about the aggrandizing pro- pensities of the American people. Tne Sroms—Tue Sporms.—We present our readers to-day the extensive and comprehensive catalogue of the foreign and domestic appoint- ments of the present administration, as made up from official sources expressly for the New Yorx Herarp. And what a chapter for study, yea, for a brown study, and for the profoundest philosophical analysis, is here spread before the astonished eyes of the ordinary thin-skinned and narrow sighted politicians! Does General Pierce show the slightest incli- nation to the contracted political heresies of Native Americanism? Not a bit of it. Native | Americans, Englishmen, Scotchmen, Irishmen. Welshmen, Frenchmen, Dutchmen, Spaniards, Italians, and others, mingling, as they do, in the great mass of the nation, come in for a share of the roast beef and plum pudding. And, Presbyterian as he is, honorary, if not a full communicant, does the President show any disposition to trim down the whole demo- cratic party to the cut of his cloth? By no means. No, sirs, by no means. Standing upon tbe ramparts of the constitution, he carries out his oath in maintaining our fun- damental principles of civil and religious libertys Hence we find Catholics and Round- heads, and Methodists and Israelites, and Socialists,—in a word, we find men of all re- ligious creeds known among us, including the Mormons, and men of no religion at all, honored alike. The State has notbing to do | with the church in this country, nor has the church anything to do with the State, or what would have become of the great apostle and founder of the democratic party? We say that the Mormons are included; for although the | President has not yet decided what he ought to | do with Governor Young, of Utah, the Prophet and High Priest of the Latter Day Saints at the Great Salt Lake, we presume that the Gove- nor’s late proclamations against the Mexicans, and against all apostates from the true faith, will make it all right with him at Washington Besides, Governor Young. if we are not mis- taken, is a democrat, venerating the name of Old Hickory—holding a regular democratic opinion of the merits of General Taylor as a civilian ; and going in for the largest liberty to the saints in matrimony, thus carrying out the doctrine of “ manifest destiny” in the rapid multiplica- tion of the American people. Furthermore, this official catalogue showeth that General Pierce is not a sectional man in his views :-— “No pent-up Utica contracts his powers,” For, from the eastern fishing grounds to Pu- get’s Sound—from the Lake of the Woods to the Brazos—from the Adirondack to the Wah- satch mountains—from the coral reefs of Flori- da to the golden gulches of the Moquelumne— every quarter and corner of the Union has shared in the division of the plunder. Nor is Gen. Pierce a man tied up or tied down to any particular clique, coterie or fac- tion of the great democratic party, North or South. “No! no!—a thousand times no!” Clay | whigs, Harrison whigs, Tyler whigs, Taylor whigs. Webster whigs, all sorts of whigs, (ex- cept Scott whigs,) who were inside of the eleventh hour, have been invited to the feast decreed to the invincible democracy by both parties at Paltimore; and all sorts of democrats who came into the vineyard before the Novem- ber election, have been called in to share and In onr catalogue there-are hard shells and soft shells, Union men and disunion men. compromise and anti-compromise men, Wilmot proviso and anti-Wilmot proviso men. Teylor demecrats and Tyler democrats. aboli- | tionists and fire-eaters, high tariffites and free | traders, strict constructionists and latitudina- rians, the disciples of Young America and manifest destiny,” and the most hide-bound | “old fogies’” of all the tribe—all fraterni- zing together over the spoils, as if the | very millenium of democracy had come. And | if this echedule is not large enough. and liberal enough. tocover the Baltimore platform, we | should like to know what is. Yes, we should | like to know. It may be all true enough that the‘ old guard” of the party—the Bourbons, the Casa men, the Dickinson men, the Compromise plat- | form men--are grumbling and threatening re- venge. But what can they do? Answer that. What can this Cass and Dickinson conspiracy do against our administration and its parly—a | party which comprehends all creation, all fac- tions, all sections, all religions creeds, and most anti-religious creeds which is backed up by Roundheads and Jesuits, Israelites and Gen- iles, Socialists ang Mormons, at home or abroad? What can these grumblers and mumbling hard shelle--these outsidere—do against our Prosi- dent and his cabinet, with all the spoils in their hands, and with such a tremendous party to support them? They can’t do a thing. They may foment discord—they may kick up a row in the next Congress, with the aid of Old Bul- ion, But what does all that amount to, in view of the overshadowing and paramount question, will there be war? Tur Rarroap Acctoent—Waart Say Tun LeorsLaTtur We published yesterday, from our special reporter, the particulars of the terrible explosion on the Erie railroad. It ap- pears that it was an old boiler; that no blame is to be atioched to the persons in charge of the train, which we are quite willing to believe ; but that it was an old boiler. Does not this fact suggest the nec y to our Legislature of parsing the Railroad Accident bill which is be- fore them : and the necessity, also. of a special amendmert concerning worn-out machinery and rs.’ Give us someth like the Mli- Let the Legislature take care of ilrend travellers, before any more widows s are cast upon the world by bridge 8, collisions, or old boilers. old be nois law. ourr and ory acciden Outvove.—-Seeretary Dobbin, of the Navy Department, has returned to bis post from Nortis Caroljna, and in such haste, it is said, that he had not time to stay to dinner at Wilmington Look out now for some stirring movements of the ships of the home squadron, perhaps to the fish- ing grounds, perhaps to Cuba, or Hayti, or Vera Cruz, Who says now there is no danger of war? Tue Canat QuestioN—AMENDMENTS TO THE Srare Consritvtion.—The question is asked— How long will it take to carry into effect the amendments authorizing the enlargement and completion of the canals, by loans, without taxation, recently adopted by the New York Legislature, now in session? Article 13, of the State Constitution of 1846, provides, that amendments adopted by # ma- jority of both houses of the legislature, shall be referred to the legislature to be chosen at the next general election of Senators, and shall be published for three months previous to the time of making such choice ; and if, in the le- gislature co next chosen, the amendments shall be agreed to by a majority of all the members elected to each house, then it shall be the duty to submit such proposed amendments to the people, in such manner as the legislature shall prescribe ; and if the people shall approve and ratify such amendments, by a majority voting thereon, such amendment or amendments shall become part of the constitution. b It will be observed that a majority of the members of the legislature only, at the second trial of the question, is required to adopt amendmeihts of the constitution, instead of two- thirds, as was required by the constitution of 1821. Therefore, if a majority of the members of the legislature elected next November, at their seesion commencing in January, 1854, promptly adopt the canel amendments, they may be submitted to the people during the ses- sion. say in February or March, next. and if the people approve of the amendments, they may be immediately carried into effect by laws to be passed, so as to authorize contracts for the work next spring. ‘Talk on Change. Cotton was setive on Saturday, the sales having eached 4,700 bales. The whole decline the past week amounted to about 3se. Flour and wheat continued in steady de- mand, and closed firm for good qualities in shipping order. The purchaser of the ship American, noticed on Satur- day, was James W. Phillips, and not Joseph Phillips, as inadvertently stated, Opinions were divided regarding the temperance law before the Legislature. Some persons were disposed to regard itas an important and necessary measure, and calculated, if carried into effect, to check the prevalence of intemperance; while others were adverse to all Maino laws, and erpecially so for this State. They did not be, lieve in the efficacy claimed for them. Their enforce- ment is attended with ferments and difficulties, with- out apparently leseening the practice or habit of drunken- ness. Some individuals stated that they were not only strictly temperate themselves, but wished others to be 80, They yielded to none in deploring the evil of intem- perance, but they were opposed to any prohibitory laws or interference with the personal liberties of the citizen, They strongly questioned both the expediency of such laws, ard the power of the authorities to rigidly execute them without riot and confusion. It was bad policy toforee a test on the people, of observing or violating an unpopular law. The law once disobeyed, under whatever pretex's, was calculated to weaken the respect of the people for other essentially fundemental laws, which should at all times be held rigidly binding. A popular’ disregard of laws might, in certain cases, grow to be a worse evil than freedom to deal in or to drink liquor, or to let it alone. A party suggested that o general law on the subject was in- applicable to the whole State; and that, if it was enacted, it should simply authorize cities, counties and towns to withhold or to grant license: they might consider best. This probably would be the ultimate result of legislative action, It was regretted that some movement had not been made for the organization of a commercial court in this city. There was a bill before the Legislature relative to the Marine courts, which had been re-committed. If this bill locked to sy change in this court calcalated to make t wore useful to commercial men, it might be all right; yet no pariial charge in its organization could make it a suitable substitute for a commercial court. It was euggested that our goverament should place some additional force at or near the fishing grounds, to ook after the rights of American fish Whatever yerrels were detailed for that duty should be under the command of an efficient, yet prudent, and experienced na val officer. Oor TaratricaL FstaBisHMExTs.—The dulness which ordinasily prevails in theatricals during the summer sea son has begun to be manifested. Some of the theatres have closed for a recess of longer or shorter duration, and their corps dramatiques have betaken the-aselves to the watering places, or if not so inclined, have formed peripa tetic companies to amuse the citizens of Canada or some of our minor cities. Among the theatres so circum: staneed just now are Burton’s, Wallack’s and the Broad, way; and even Buckley’s company of Ethiopian xerenaders have found the weather too sultry to expect remunera™ tive houses, and so haye struck their tent and made aventure to Philadelphia. Opera and concert being for the present also banished from the metropolis, the attractions of the Hippodrome have thus far 6lled up the void most pleasiogly. Last week bajleon ascensions from the cenire of the arena con stituted a novel feature in the performances, aad during this week commencing with to-night, a new, and we are told, extremely porgeous, Fpectacie, is to be introduced, representing some of the historical fetes with which Louis XIV, entertained the French court, in the 17th century. ‘The summer weather appears to have had no effect upon the attendance at the Hippodrome, except, perbaps to give it # still more gay ond animated «ppear: ance. ue The o*her Broadway theatres having their doors closed, thore of Niblo's Garden have been thrown open to large and fashionable audierces, Mr. Burton being at present ploying an engagement there, with most, if not all, of his excellent company of artists.

In all of them, several good pieces are advertised for to-night’s porformanes. Barnum produces this evening the melo drama of the Poor Gentleman, and exhibits three anacondas and a bearded lady, all alive. ‘The entertainments at Wood’s and Christy's Minstrels have not diminished in interest, and the various panora- mic representations ere till on exhibition. Another circus has been also opened near the Crystal Yalace, and we renily believe that there various ploces of amusement are quite sufficient to accomodate the eom- munity while the thermometer ranges beyoud eighty de- grees, Tox Broanway Rannoav.—This eare has now been a week on trial in the Superior Court, before Judge Duer, without a jury. The section is by Davies and others, op. ponents of the Broadway railroad, against the Mayor and | Aldermen of New York. The first three or four drys of the trial wore consumed in the examimation of witnesses, testifying to their opinion in respect to the injurious ef- fect “hich they believe the construction and working of the railroad would have on the trafic of the street, the convenience of wholesale and other stores, and the con- sequent Cepreciation of property ia it, This course of testimony was closed after the examination of foartoen witnesses, mostly residents and property owners; ond the evidence of a practical engineer—Mr. Lawiie—was then furnished in reference to the engineering difficulties to be encountered in the coustraction of the I've and ears as propored to be built, Thiv witness stated it as is doc! ded opinion that two horses would not be eapable of pro yelling a car of sixty passenger dimensivas up the high grades from Bowling Green to Pine street, and from Canal | to Leonard, but considered it would require four horses to draw ench car.

The Shakspeare Society of New York. On Saturday the members of this Society celebrated their monthly festival at Mr. Clepp’s magnificent hotel at Fort Hamilion, where they enjoyed a day of perfect recreation, The Society proceeded down the bay by the 1 o'clock | boat, and after a few hours sauntering about the shady walks overlooking the lofty bluffs and green banks, the regular business of the Society was entered on and dis. patched, by reading the minutes and letters, and ballot- ing for new members and nomination of others, They then a¢journed to a room on the south piazza, where they partook of a symposium of the most recherché char. acter. After the removal of the cloth, the real enjoyment of the day commenced—the feast of reason and the flow of soul! It ceed hardly be said that the memory of the immortal spirit, whose name and works originated the Society, was mestioned and drapk in reverential silence. Many adniira- bie speeches were called forth on the occasion. The even | ing, however, did not pass away exclusively in high intel- lectual improvement, for as it advanced, and the mem- bers warmed with that which Solomon says ‘strength eneth the heart,” wit, waggery and song enlivened the hours. Mr. Brougham was a guest at the board, and sung many admirable songs; but the most exquisite of the evening was that lovely ‘one. written by Shakspeare himself for the ‘‘ Midsummer Night’s Dream” — “1 know a bank whereon the wild thyme grows, Where oxlips and the nodding violet grow, Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine, With sweet musk roses and the eglantine.’ This was delightfully sung as a duet, by two of the members, and called forth the warmest applause. The evening was heavenly, the moon shone brilliantly amidst an urclouded sky; and we venture liitle ia saying that it must bave been sucha midsummer’s night im June that suggested t0 Shokepeare bis immortal Dream. We were informed tbat full twenty ladies, who boarded at the ho- tel, were silently, and unseen by the members, clustered arourd the windows which look out on the piazza, listen- ing to the songs, aud speeches, and hilarity that were going on, In the course of the evening, Mr. Burton, the Presi- éent, read the following acknowledgment of a vote of thanks, which the society had voted, and he had trans- witted to Mrs Balwanno, the wife of the Secretary.

Age ard feeble health requiring removal from the scene of his professional labors, he was some months since brought to this city, where he has since resided, sur rounded by the affectionate attentions of his children During his lovg and most snccersful practice, he was ever accustomed to render his valuable services alike, and without distincticn, to the rich and the poor, laboring amcng the latter with oll his zeal and energy, and with- out other reward than the gratification of a benevolent heart. Industry, benevolence, warm feelings, and an un- wavering frier d-hip, were his characteristic traits. He had a large circle of friends.

The exports of coffee will fall considerably ehort of the quantity rhipped the last year. . The yellow fever, which has prevailed so extensively and so painfully here, has entirely ceased to exiat, and Port au Prince, at prerent, is very healthy, ‘The only event of general interest now passing, is the arrival here of his Lord-hip, Vincent Spaceapietra, Bishop of Arcadcopoles, snd delegate apostolis from his Holiness Pope Pius IX., to the court of St. Faustin, The Bishop arrived some days since, and was received. with demonstrations of respect, and almost of worship.. On his entering at one of the gates of the city he was met by a religious procession, and after pros- tration before him by all good Catholies, numbering some three or four thourand; women, principally, ‘as might be, expected in all pious labourr; he was excorted to the Catholic church, raising his two handy frequently in motion of blessing. direeted towards the crowd, and permitting rome of the most devoted to kiss the signet which he wore on one of his fingers, At the entrance of the church he was met—in full eanonicals— by the Abby Cassan, Vicar-General of the empire, who krelt before the bishop, and after kissing the signet, led. the way into the cathedral where he delivered a sort of oration before him. ‘This morning the bishop bad an audience of the Empe- ror, whe received him, seated on his throne, in the truly very splendid salle de trone (throne room.) The object of this great consideration and theughtful- ness of bis Holiness in sending a nuncio to this far dis- tant isle, was not made known till this day, and that by the remarks of the bishop to the Emperor. Marked with gross flattery, he said :—I translate nearly: itetally— 1 “Our Holy Fatber, Pope Pius IX., to second th and selgion of your wajesty, has just rent me, Apostolic delegaie to your fenperial court. Honored «ith this sublime mission, entirely spiritual and heavenly, which js in xo wise coonrcted with temporal matters, i¢ is importible to exprers to you the sentiments of my soul in presenting you there despatches from the common father of sll the faithful.

Nothing bas 5 et been di-closed of any intention of the Cath: Itc bishop to offer bis mediation between the bel- ligerert Haytiensand Dominicans. All that is yet known. of the chject of this visit is tha® the Pope desires most earnestly to tuke these erring Haytiens under his imme- diate care This is the fourth or fifth commission that has beer. sent from the court of Rome to obtain the spiritual do- minion of the Haytiens, President Boyer resisted all overtures from them but what his present Majesty may submit to is yet problematical. Highly Interesting from Venezuela, OUR PUERTO CABELLO CORRESPONDENCE. Purrto Canazo, May 20, 1853. Revolution against the Monagas Government, The bark Venezuela sails from this port for Philadel- phia this day, and I sieze this opportunity to inform yeu. of the state of this country. ‘The government of Monagaa has been for along time extremely unpopular, and % great dissatisfaction has pervaded all classes of the com- munity; even the small number of troops in the service of the goverrment cannot be dgneuded upon, as the sol- diers receive no pay, and the treasury is completely exhausted. ‘The prees has lately teemed with mont violent attacke against the Monygas administration; and in consequence of this, and of the general discontent, President Monagas demanded, and obtained from the council of government, extraordinary or dictatorial powers, to meet the threat- ening storm, The consequence hae been, that the press in Carneos, the capitel, has born ef eseed, and two or three of the c¢itors have been imprisoned. This pro- dveed @ great excitement, and hastened the dreaded ‘vent.
