The Destruction of Greytown—English Upin= fon of the Pierce Cabluct, [From the London, Times, aug: 4.) Althonga the important events which agitate se- veral parts of the continent of Europe at the pre- sent time bave no nece: connexion with the rejations of this and other countries of the Old World to the Tnited States of America, some cir comstances appear to indicate that President Pies ceis not disinclined to seck im these occurrences for an occasion to retrieve his popularity, and to signalize his odministration. Tie acquisition of the island of Cuba and the extension of the infla- euce of the United States acroes the isthmas of Central America, or even along the conrse of the Ainazons, have long been favorite objects with that class of American politicians. to which Mr. Pierse belongs. The selection of hia advi- cers at home and of his agents abroad dis- played a yo icy and a epicit in the new cabinet of Warbington which might be rouse: by favorable acidents to enterprise and aggression: and, al- though we do, rot impute to the pre-ent American government any comprehensive or cecided g:heme. of this nature, we have little doub: that they are prepared w take sdvactage of any.‘ccidents which May rouse the passions of the community. On tae Ist of August, Juet as the ovcorrence of revolution- sry dicturbances, in Spaia bed bes0me known in Washington, the President transmitted a message tothe Senate of the United States recommendiag Congress to adopt such provisional measures as may be requi ¢d in the recess to enable the Exe ative gover: nient to meet any exigency affecting the relations of the United States with the Span- ish govertiment; ard in making tris demand Mr. Pierce did not eee, to add that, in view of the position of the Island of Cuba, it seemed improbable that peaceful relations could leng be maintuined, and that in the event of the failure of tre negotiations begun at Madrid, he should not. hesirate to use the means placed at his disposal to obtain redress for injuries re xeived, and to vindicate the bonor of the Améric.n flag. At the same time no hope is held out that these aegotia tions are likely to prove successfal. Ia tie moath of the minister of any European goverament such language would very nearly amount to a declaration ot war; but 1 the United States it means only that President Picrce wishes to be thought ready to de- clare war if Congress will let him. At the same time we have no doubt that he is eagerly watching for an op.ortunity to, distinguish. nis administra- tion in some couspicuous manner; and it is probably with a view to these chances that Mr. ‘Soulé hag given bis active assistance to the revolationa: Sgevta of sll nations who are assembled at th time in Madrid. a ae government of the resent moment, excited by the recovery of free stitutions and popular leaaers, is certainly not more likely to yi to the demards of tie United Ststes than the corrupt administration which has ca been dissolved; and General Concha has th the ability aud the integrity to defend Cuba against any attack likely to be made against it. Atthe same time, the most effectual mode of prolonging the connection of that island with the mother country will be to redress the grievances of which it hasto complain, to recognise its righta, and to sweep away scandaloas abuses. whish have flouris! on the plander of the. colonial } dard President Pierce annoanea his termination |to check and put down all pri- vate attempta to zevoluticnize Cuba from the United States; but the language in which he addrerses the Senate warrants belief that he would not be averse to lend the power of the Ex- Darin; the recess the President rondo power, for aL though Congress alone can declare war, yet the Executive government csn_send the forces of the United ‘States to do acta which render war inevi- table.

We lave received diréct advices from what ia called the Spanish part of St. Domingo, down to 26th of Jast month. Everything appesred tranqnil; and the very fact that our friends make no mention of any hostile act or threat on the part of the black empire against the Dominican Republic, seems to invleate that Soulouque bad suspended his aggres- sive }lans, whether for reasons of his owaocr for those suggested by the political and mercantile ia- terests of England and France, to which no ques tions of peace in America can be indifferent, while whey are involved ic war in Asta and Europe, Our corre spor dent therefore telis us nothing of threats or invasions. On the contrary, everything, they say, wears a pacific aspect, though pot the less worthy of particular mention or of the attractive ob- servation of those who have political or other inter: eats to attend to in the Archipelago 0° the Antilles, Letters from the vity of St. Domiogo tell us of the arrivayat that port of the United States frigate Columbia, onthe 17th of July, with Genera! Cazenau. on board, a‘commisefoner of this goverment, aad with powers to make a treaty with the Dominican republic, As far as could be collected from the first proceedings, the treaty was to have for one of its various ostensible objects, to stipulate for cer- tain rights in the ports. of the republic, and espe cial, the spacious and secure bay of Samana, for the armed vessels of the United States, in case of war, and in time of peace for the establishment of a hind of colovization, black or white, of indivi- duals from the United States, in some part of the Dominican Republic. The frigate Columbia bad been in a manner established at Samana, under pretext of waiting urtil the Dominican Chambers, which were in ses- sion, should approve the convention; and it even appears that the intention had been expressed of remaining until the ratification by these of the government of the United States. In the mean: | time the speedy arrival of the American ship of war Albany was spoken of, and also a war steamer; and, By. ‘way of pastime, an officer of engineers on board e Columbia was assiduously engaged in making charts of the bay and peninsula of Samana. Notbivg, apparently, can cause less alarm than the presence of an American negotiator, with one, two or three vessels of war of the same nation, in any part of the West Indies; but, as the antecedents of the 3] tly most innocent act may afford us round for foretelling the consequences which may. follow, and the somewhat concealed spirit whicl may have + nly it, and as the occurrence we have mentioned not oly has some remarkable antece- dents, but may well be a symptom of the re appear- ance, in the political sphece, of the course coi t- iagpeaes by the democratic administrations of the ‘nited States, at e) of disturbance and conflicts in Ewope, it would be proper perhaps not to ne- glect, as a frivolous or unimportant thing, a demon- stration which, especially in present circumstances, may perhaps involve something future for the mari- Piketbare, wish‘ ereasickst, heen collecting ia fe have, with great care, our paper for several. years the facts which reveal a cer- tain tendency of the bo a of this government to make St. Domingo the point of ay epee lege future enterprize, for the injury of resent Eu ropean dominion {n the Weat Indies; and, asa first ar ys carry into effect which is here regarded ‘The idea, as we bave been able to infer it, and aa we have often ex; dit, is this: the “Huropean dominion being established in the West Indies, aud Bu by for midabie means of defence and of- fence for a case of war, and there existing, also, in mapy Damage mg ‘a strong jamie ie a a ewpioy force against those groups of popu nh we be entirely ineffectual; and, if it were 40, it would never give a whi b would repay the sacrifices it must.cost. is necessary, there fares fee tbe, Palin’ Statanto arcid al re- apo ty in the filst aggreasiens by which a se- f civil confifet may yer eer of those ronbe.cn hetmowe of them.

We contradicted this ab urd story, and sat- isfied most of our readers, we presume, that there ‘was bo reason for recoguizing independence of 8t. Domingo which did not apply with equal force to Hayti aod L beria. We have received numerous letters confirmizg our statements upon this Polat, but ag Mr. Dougiss aid not call up his resolation sgaip, snd 9s co further effort was apparently waking to extend an unusual courtesy to this blac! republics, we did not think it necessary then to _pub- lish apy of our correspondents’ favors, or to say any- thirg wore upou the subject. Nothing further was heard about Mr. Cazenau aud bis wistion until some two months since, when it was formally announ-ed in the Norfolk papers and iu the Nsw Yorx HeRAup, that the frigate Co- lowbia, tre flug ship ot tue Weat {udia squadron, Was avert gv fair wild to sail for Hayti wich Mr, and Mre.

The next thing we hesr isthe arrival of the Columbia wich ite diplomatic vargo, not at Hayti, Lut at St. D: mingo city, and that negotiations have been opened for a treaty, to which t2e sanction of the Deminicon Leg slature, now in session, .is ex- Lected, aud the Ju: thereanction of the United States Senate when it ie assemoles, It does vot quote the articles nor give us any means of ascertaining the character of the treaty which fs negotiating, except that a port is to he se cvred for our government on the bay of Samina. This is the ficest barbor on the east end of the island; it bas capacities for the Jargost commerce, and is said to be easily defensible j at auy oaval assaults with a single battery of guns. It is nota port of entry, nor are ite shores inhabited to any ex- tent. It is worth notbing at present for commercial purposes but vast coal beds are known to abouad in its vicinity, and further in the interior valaable | old nines were profitably worked by the Spaniards efcre the abolition of slavery. There is no doubt that with slave labor now, both coal and gold could be mined there at avery great profit. Bat it is not our purpose to- day to discuss the suffisiency of the | consideration we are to receive for the extraordinary courtesies we are desired to extend to the govern- ment of Santava, much less to dispute the pro- priety of 1ecognizing independent political sove- reignties without regurd to the color of skin or ‘ex- ture of bair. It will be time enough to go into those uestion when the facts come ina more authentic shaye before us. ‘hat spec'ally arrests our attention in the recent news from St. Domingo eity, is the change ‘which the policy of the government has undergone since Mr. Douglas was requested to offer his resolution. When that wes drawn, it was t ought advisable to covgult the treaty:making power of the government gee asto the propriety of changing our policy reference to the recognition of governmenta con- ducted by Africans or their descendants. There ther appeared to be no hesitetion about admitting the people and the press as hearers and reporters of 8 discussion which involved princip’es and coase- querces the importance of which, iu the present state of the pul mind, ft is impossible to exag- erate. 8 But suddenly, and without a syllable of explana- tion from avy quarter, the programme is changed, It appea)s to bave been thought best to prevent any publip discussion upon this point until discuasion should be to Jate to affect the result. A majority of the Senators beipg favorable to the scheme, and poeeessing the power in connection with the Presi- Cent toconclude a treaty without consulting auy one else Upcn the subject, had only to pub their heads together and frame ench a contract with the Dominica: s as would suit their purposta, secure its adoption by the Dominican legislature, have it Ibrought to Washing'on and ratified by them in secret seeticn, avd the whole coneusmated before the American people could have-a chanve of utter ing & word of rewopatran e, if dispored. j ich a change, vud¢r such circumstaoces, is not calevlated io soothe the sus ‘icions already rife in ithe public mind, ss to the obj+ cts of the government in ineti utirg this secret mission to St, Domingo, bor te incieure the confidence , at last of the North- ¢rp yecplr, in the terme and conditions of the treaty now peyouating. We do not know whether the Rovers mvt was in any way responsible for the falss yeport made of the destination of the Colambia; we woold charitably presome that they were not; and yet the announcement was made by the Norfolk paper evidently by authority of some pe-suns at tached to the frigate, and presumptively with a de- lidesste intention to mislead. There is some‘hing very mysterious shout all this, and, in our jadg- ment, the people are entitled to some explanation cfit from Wasbington. If our government cen meke apy Gesirable commercial arrangements witn iwican government, the people of the North will be ar glad to know it and to rejoice at it as the ple of the South—ihere is no occasion whatever for pursuing apy uoderband <ourse to do what can bepropesy and profitably done in the way of ne- fr ion with the govervment of President ne. there are, however, any designs convealed uuder all this mysterious machinery, which the President is afraid tosubmit to the scrutiny of the public press, as many will natarally presume, we would respectfully acvise him to measure his paces vi carefully, for we are greatly mistaken if the Ameri- can poeple will be as tolerant of future legislation ie (restr: peaking power as they haye been of ‘ast. ‘e will conclude today with the single remark that the proportion of whites in 8:. Domingo to the blacks ia very inconsiderable, not numbe: over three bundied altogether; that all the members of the government, from the whose father was a slave, to the of his guard, are descended in one or both lines from Afiican ancestors.

At the close, the fancies were still more depressed, and ihe indications were decidedly gloomy. At the first voard, Erie bonds, 1871, fell off 1 per cent; Canton Company, 3g; New York Central Railroad, % Michigan Southern, 1; Eris Railroad, %; Harlem, 34; Huéson River Railroad, 134. Wlinols Central bonds ad- vaneod 34 per cent; New York Central bonds, 14, Nica- ragua Uransit closed firm at yesterday's prices. There were preily large transactions in Erie at the decline ‘The company raised money enough to-day to meet the payment of interest due to morrpw on its bonds; but this hos not even produced temporary relief. The floating debt is still uoprovided for, and is ta- pidly seeymulating, Every manth brings along pay- ments o! interest, and as the net income of this rox is, not sufficient to meet all such payments, a new debt is increasing from the loans required to make up the ded- ciency. Holders of Erie Railroad stock, purchased for s rise, are highly indignant at the conrse we have pursued in relation to this company, and accuse us of all sorts of crimes and misconduct. This is to be expected. We have had it to contend against from the beginning, and co not expect to be free from it to the end. Ifit is not ‘one class of speculators, it is sure to be another. If it is not the bulls, itis sure to be the beara; and it might just ae well be one as the other. If our columns should contain anything in favor of the govera- ment, there must be @ private motive in it; if they coutain anything in opposition, we mast have been dis- appointed in something. If we point out the extrava- gance and delinquencies in the management of any rail- road company, and prove that the concern has been bank- rupt for years, it follows, according to the cods of bull speculators, that we have a-private interest in the con- cern, ani that the bears have at an immense expense se- ured our aid and support in the matter. If, on the other hand, we should make an offurt to inflate any of the bears would be equally loud In their criminations, and say we were aiding the bull party. We really do not know how these two great speculating parties car be satisfied. They would not be content if we were silent in regard to the merits or demerits of ths various fancy stocks on the martet. We are continually one company, and that agaiost another; and we find it Svery difficult matter to steer clear of all interests, and ayoid injuring some one in our efforts to benefit all. Holders of Exie Railroad stock who havea wide margin agninst thom, should have followed the advise we have 80 repeatedly given them. Had they done so, all wou'd have been well. As it is, they have no one to blame but themselves for their blind faith and ignorance regard. ing the vale of securitier in which they put their money ‘The Erie Ruil-ond was bankrupt long before we meade it public. We have not so much confidence fa our influence as tn anppose for a moment that wo had any Agency in producing it. It was a fixed fact five years ago, es much as itisnow.

The rottenness and {nrolvency of tie Eriehave been malo manifest. “There are other companies in a similar condi. tion, anda few yearn will develope them. The New York Central Ralroad Company cannot go on wuch longér, under the system of financieting that. has been lately pursued; and the stock is worth as much now as it ever will be. ‘Those who purchase at present prices for a rise will, with- out doubt, complain bitterly of our opposition when the stock haa largely depreciated, instead of reslising Dow an” putting the proceeds in a more substantisl se- curity. It ia by no means a source of satisfaction to us to see our pre.lictions verified, for serious loases must be the result; but it is our duty to point oat the shoals and quieksands which beret the path of all having capital t> invest, and induce them, if possible, to make such a dis- poral of their funds as will give permauent retarns, At the second board lower prices ruled, particularly for Erie, and the market closed with s downward tendency. Nicaragua Transit fell off { per cent; Cumberland Coal, 24; Erie, 2 per cent. The difference between the highest price ruling for Erie at the first board, and the Jowest price current at the second board to-day, was 2% per cent. This afternoon there were latge sales for cash. Mr. Vanderbilt has, loaned the Erie company his endorse ment on $400,000 of its paper of short date, for which he has received a mortgage on the entire rolling property of the road. Everything in the shape of @ loe>motive, freight and passenger car, has been pledged for the above named sum, instead of $600,000 as at first pro- posed. Of the $400,000 ratsed by mortgaging the move- able property of the company, $300,000 will be paid out to morrow for interest then due on the bonds. This leaves but a smell amount for other purposes. It would be well enough for the company to appropriate the balance to the payment of wages due laborers along the line of the road. We are informed that along the Delaware di- vision laborers have been paid only up to the Ist of July. Wages duo for June were not paid until withina week or two. July and August are now due. Thisisa pretty position for the Erie Railroad Company to bo in. The president, no doubt, receives his salary of $10,000 per annum as soon as due, and all the other officers with enormous salaries, the same, while the poor laborer, whore credit at the noarest store depends entirely upon his prospective pay, is put off month after month, until he ean get no more pork and bread upon his promises to pay when the company pays bim. ‘These may be con- sidered trifting matters, but a shrewd stockholder will be able to draw correct inferences from evon such trifles, and govern himself accordingly.
