"THE CAZNEAU TREATY BETWEEN THE Republics of Dominica and the United States. [From the Tribune.) TREATY OF AMITY, COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION BE- TWEEN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND THAT OF ‘THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The Dominican Republic and the United States of America, equally animated by the desire to maintain the cordial relations and good ‘understanding that sub- sist between their respective States and Territories, and te augment by s in their power their social and commercial urse, have determined twenter into negotiations for the conclusion of a gen- eral treaty of amity, navigation and commerce, and a particular treaty of extradition, destined at the same time to sanction the formal recognition, on the part of the United States, of the independence of the Domini- can Republic; for the accomplishment of which, the President of the Dominican Republic, on the one part, has conferred full powers on the Senores Jusn Nepo- muceno Tejera, Secretary of State in the offices of Justice, of Public Instruction and Forcigne Relations, &e., and Juan Luis Fi member of the honorable Chamber of and the President of the United States, on the other part, has conferred them on Mr. William L. Cazneau, citizen of the United States. And said plenipotentiaries, after having ex- changed their full powers, and having found them to be ue form, have sanctioned and contirmed the following clea Art. 1, It is stipulated by the contracting parties, that there shall be firm, inviolable and general peace, and true and full friendship, between the Dominican republic and the United States of America, and their res pective inbabitatants and Territories, without exception of persons or places. Butif, unfortunately, war should arise between the two nations, a periodof six months, (that shall begin to be counted, or to run, from the day of its declaration,) shall be conceded to all the citizens and inhabitants, whether ts or not, of each of the contracting parties, who may be in the territory of the other, that they may retire with their goods which they shall have the right to carry with themselves, to send, or to sell at will, without the least opposition, | None of their effects, and much less their persons, shally) be sequestrated during sueh period of six months, an even after this time, the possessions that they ‘may | Jeave in the country cannot be confiscated. Further- | more, to the said citizens and inhabitants shall be given | passports and cl "8 that shall be valid, forsuch | 1m as may be to return to their country; and t) rances shall serve as a safe conduct, protecting their v property from ‘insult and capt whether they send them debts, shares in the pub other property, real or pe of one country in the terri ther he sequestrated nor contisca’ ¢ citizens of each of pectively, resident or established in the ter- sof the other, shall be exempt from all military wervice; but they shall be subject to the contributions, pecuniary or otherwise, imposed on all resident foreigners. These contributions, however, caunot be in any case greater than those which are exacted from the citizens of the country. Art. 3. The citizens of each of the contracting parties shall be permitted to enter, to pass through, reside in, and to make their home in any part of the territories of the other, and to establish warehouses, and to occu- py them there, provided they submit themselves to the laws, general or special, that fix the duties ana obliga- tions of resitents and travellers. While the y conform to the laws and regulations in force, they may freely manage their own business, remaining, however, subject to the jurisdiction of the country in which they are, as well with respect to the consignment and sale of their goods, for more or less, as with respect to the loading, discharge and despatch of their vessels, and the choice of such agents or brokers as they may deem suitable; and in all cases they shall be treated as are the citizens of the country in which they reside. They shall have free acceas to the tribunals of justice, to establish their claims, and to msintain their rights of person and pro- perty, within the same limits that the laws and the cus- toms of the country concede to its citizens; to the ac- complishment whereof they may employ, in defence of their interests and rights, such advocates, attorneys, and other agents as they may judge proper, and as the local laws permit. (This article is unsatisfactory to the Dominican Legis- lature, who want the following addition made to it:—‘‘It is, however, expressly agreed that neither the present article, nor the following, shall be construed to allow any exclusion or exception whatever, which may be ap- plied to mulatto citizens in any part of the territory of the two contracting powers; and that, in one word, in all the States of the American Union, the rights and treatment of the Dominicans generally shall be the same, without regard to descent or color.”” Mr. and Mrs. Caz- neau taving no authority to agree to a proposition so obnoxious as this would be to the South, refused to con- cur init. The Dominicans insisted. Mr. Cazneau then, on behalf of President Pierce, wrote a letter formally withdrawing the treaty, on the 23d of November. But they held on to it. President Santana, however, is willing to take the treaty without the addition. Con quently, our government is now endeavoring to persua him to make a coup d’état, overthrow the Legislature, revolutionize the country, become dictator, and accept the treaty in its original form. Here is where the busi- ness now stands. ] Art. 4, The citizens of each of the contracting parties residing in the territory of the other shall have a right to the most complete liberty of conscie They shall be subject to no vexations of any kind because of their religious belief; nor shall they be in any manner mo- lested or disturbed in the exercise of their religious wor- ship, whether in private houses, or in chapels set apart for worship; provided that they observe the respect and decorum due to the laws, usages. and customs of the place. If they die in the territory of the other they may be buried there, and in particular cemeteries which the citizens of each of the two republics may establish aud preserve freely for that purpose; and which shall be protected against all injury, as, also, the funeral pro- cession when it gocs to or returns from them. Art. 5. The contracting parties agree that any product, manufacture or merchandise of any foreign country whatover, that may be legally imported into the Domi- nican republic in its own vessels, may be imported as well in yeasels of the United States; and on their tom- cargo may be imposed and exacted no other or greater duties than whose which are imposed on ves- sels of the country, whether the vessel in which the im- ortation be made bear the flag of the Doi n repub- ic or the flag of the United States. And ocally, whatever kind of product, manufacture, or merchandise of any foreign country may at any time be imported into the United States in its own vessels, may be as well imported in the vessels of the Dominican republ d no greater duties shall be laid upon their tonnage or than those which are imposed upon, or exacted from, ves- sels of the country, whether the importation be'made in a vessel bearing the flag of the Dominican republic or in a vessel bearing that of the United States. Everything that can be legally exported from one country, in its own vessels, to any foreign country, may be exported orre-exported in ‘the same manner in vessels of the other, and the same duties shall be collected, and the same exemptions and abatements shali be conceded, whether the exportation or re-exportation be made in vessels of one of the countries or of the other, Nor shall greater or different imposts of any kind be ex- acted in the ports of one country from vessels of the other than are exacted in the eame ports from the ves- sels of the country. This article is not applicable to the coasting trade and navigation of the contracting parties, which is exclusively reserved to cach by its res- pective citizens, ‘Art. 6. Vessels which are considered by the Do- minican laws as Dominican, and carry with them the documents necessary to the proof thereof, shall be considered as Dominican by the United States. And reciprocally, the Dominican Republic will apply the same principle to the vessels of the United States. Art. 7. No different or higher import duties shall be imposed in the Dominican Republic on any nat product or manufacture of the United States, nor shall any different or higher import duties be imposed in the United States on any natural product or manufacture of the Dominican Republic, than those which are exacted for the same natural product or manufacture of any other foreign country. Neither shall any greater duties or charges be levied in the Dominican Republic oa the exportation of any article of commerce to the United States, nor in the United States on the exportation of any article of commerce to the Dominican Republic, than those which are imposed on the exportation of the same grticleajo any foreign country. Neither the importa- tion nor exportation of eny natural product or manu- Jactare of the Dominizan Hepablic shall be prohibited hnless the prohibition be extended to all other nations. If either of the contractivg parties should in future con- rede to any other nation any particular privilege of na- vigation or commerce, it shall be understood by that act to have been conceded to the other contracting party freely, if the priv have been conceded without com pensation, or with a like compensation if the privilege should have been conditional. Art. 8 The right which was formerly admitted over the goods that sailors might save from their shipwreck, is not recognized by the contracting parties. On the contrary, not only in time of peace, but in time of war, (if unfortonately it should arise,) if » vessel belonging to ope of the two nations should be wrecked or sufler damage on the coast, or in the waters of the dominions of the other, (unless it contain troops, or munitions of war, or some other indication of & hostile intention, ) those who are shipwrecked shall receive for themselves, for their vessels and Js, the same aid and protection that they would receive if they were citizens of the na- tion where the accident may happen ; but they shall be nubject to the payment of the same cuties and costs of salvage as it may be the usage and custom to exact from citizens in such cases, If the ring of the vessel re- quire that the whole or a part ofthe cargo be disem- parked, they shall pay no more duties, charges, or im- posta for the whole or a part of the cargo landed, when they come to embark it again, than would be paid by a vessel of the nation on whose soil the cargo was landed. It is, however, agreed, that if, while the vessel be un- @ergoing repairs, the cargo be landed and kept in any piace, destined for the deposit of goods which have not jpaid ‘duties, the cargo shall remain subject to the ex ‘jpenses and costs that are legally due for storaxe. Art, 9. The citizens of each of the contracting par- ‘ties may, from any port whatever, despatch vessels and merchandise (except it be contraband) without making any distinction as to who are the owners of the embarked in them, although they are or aay become enemies of the other. The citizens referred ¢ passports and y private: Aud all moneys, tands, orin banks, and all pelonging to the citizens of the other, shall nei d the two contracting | ports or roads, not only their passports, but alao their tained, nor shall aay cated, except it be rib ne Sod cognizant of the blockade or siege. to enter; om the contrary, she will to go to any other port or place that may be deemed proper, and that is not blockaded or besi by sea or land. No vensel of either of the two contractin, that may have entered into such port or place Salone it wan pots: ally blockaded or besieged by sea or land, shall either be | prevented from withdrawing from such place with her | carge, nor shall she be considered subject to confisca- tion, nor shall an embargo be laid upon her cargo, ifit be found in said place after its reduction and capitula- | tion ; but, on the contrary, it shall be restored to its | owner. | Art. 10. With the object of defining what shall be | considered contraband of war, it is declared that there shall be comprehended under this denomination :—Pow- der, seltpetre, rockets, fusees, bombs, balls, grenades, lances, battle axes, swords, belts, pistols, holsters, sad- dies, cavalry equipments, cannons, mortars, their car- riages and’ beds, and, generally, every description of arms, munitions of war, and instruments peculiar to the use of troops. All these articles, whenever they are destined for any port of any enemy, shall be, by this act, declared contraband and subject to confisca- tion, but the vessel in which they are embarked, and the | rest of the cargo, shall be considered free, and in uo wise subject to confiscation because of the other pro- | hibited goods, whether they belong to the same master or to another. Art. 11. It is admitted as a principle that the flag confis- | the detriment of those who employ them, whenever these crimes deserve infamous or Art. 26, On the pert of each country shall be made only by the authority and mandate of the Executive power, the expenses that are occasioned in the detention and delivery, by virtue of the prece- articles, of persons accused, shall be paid by the wet! up the demand or reclamation. Art. 26. The stipulations of the preceding articles relative to the delivery ef fugitives m justice shall not be applicable to acts committed before the ratifica- tion of the present treaty, nor to those of a political character. Art. 27. yoaneia of war and steamers of = bc States employed by the government to carry the United States ans Thall have free access to the of the Dominican Republic for repairs and supplies, to land passengers and their baggage, and for any business whatever pertaining to tne public service of the maiis of the United States, and they shall not be subject in such ports to any other or greater delays, imposts or charges than vessels of war of the ican iblic, Art. 28. If any of the citizens or inhabitants of either country shall infringe avy of the articles contained in the present treaty, said citizens or inhabitants shall be personally responsible, and the harmony and un- derstanding between the nations shall not be int pt- ed therefor; and each party solemaly promises not to protect the offender in any way, nor to sanction such violation, under pain of making itself responsible for the consequences. It ix expressly agreed that if, unfor- tunately, any of its stipulations should be infringed, in delivery covers the goods, and everything on board vessels be- longing to citizens of one of the contracting parties is to | be considered free and lawful commerce, even though all the cargo cr a part of it belong to the enemies of one or the other, always excepting contraband articles. It is agreed, also, that the same liberty be extended to those persons who may be on board a free vessel, in such manner that, although they be enemies of one or the other country, they cannot be taken from said free vessel, unless they are soldiers in the actual service of | the enemy. Art. 12, In time of war, vessels belonging to citizens of one or the other of the contracting parties, which have been cleared for a port belonging to an enemy of either of them, and with respect to whose voyage and | articles of cargo there are good grounds for suspicion, shall be liable to exhibit, as well on the hign seas as in | certificates that they have nothing which is contraband according to the present treaty. Art, 13. And, to prevent captures on alight suspicions, | and the injury arising therefrom, it is agreed that, when one country is engaged in’ war, and the other maintains a neutral position, the vessels of the neatral party shall be provided with passports and clear- ances, that it may be seen that they really belong to citizens of said neutral nation, which clearances sball be valid for any number of voyages, but must be renewed annually, if the vessels’ return to their country within a period of twelve months. If the ves- sels have a cargo on board, they shall be provided not only with the aforementioned passports or clear- ances, but also with manifests, signed by competent authorities, setting forth what contraband merchan- dise they have, if any; but, besides these, no other | documents of any kind shall be exacted from them— | former usages and ordinances to the contrary notwith- standing. Andif it appear, from the said manifests, that there is no contraband merchandise on board, the vessels shall be permitted to pursue their voyage. Moreover, if the manifests declare that there is contraband merchandise on board, and the cap- tain of the vessel shall offer to deliver it up, the offer shall be accepted, and the vessel shall be at liberty to continue her voyage, unless the quantity of contraband merchandise be greater than can be conveniently received on board the vessel of war or priva- teer, in which case the vessel may be conducted toa port for the delivery of the same. If any vesrel should not be provided with the Passports or certificates re- quired by the present article, a judge or some compe- tent tribunal shall take cognizance of that fact; and if it appear from other documents or proofs, admissible according to the law of nations, that the vessel belongs to citizens of the neutral nation, she shall not be con- fiscated, but ret at liberty with her cargo, (excepting contraband merchandise, ) and permitted to continue her voyage. If the captain or commander of a vessel, whose name is in the passport, die, or be removed by any other cause, and another take his place, the vessel and her cargo shall have the same security that they had before that change, and the passport or clearance shall preserve its full force. Art. 14. Whenever vessels are captured or detained on the supposition that they are carrying contraband merchandise to the enemy, the captor shall give are- ceipt of the papers on board the vessel that he detains accompanying it with a list of the said papers; and i shall not be lawful to break or to open the hatches, or the chests, trunks, bales, barrels or tuns found on board, or to mcve even the least portion of the mer- chandise, unless it be that the cargo is landed, and in the presence of competent men, who shall take an in- ventory of said merchandise; which merchandise can- not be'sold, exchanged, or in any way alienated, except after leg¢l proceedings, and a competent ju or judges have pronounced against it sentence of confisca- tion. Art. 15. And in order that Lak measures may be adopted with respect to the vessels and cargoes, and to prevent thefts, it 1s agreed that it shall not be lawful to remove from any captured vessel, the captain, comman- der, or supercargo of the same, while the vessel remains at sea, after the capture, or while proceedings are pend- ing inat her, her cargo, or anything relating to her. ‘And in all cases in which # veasel belonging to citizens of one or the other party is captured or put under em- Wargo and detained for adjudication, her employés, pas- sengers, and crew, shail be treated with hospitality. | They shall not be imprisoned, nor deprived of their clothing, nor of the possession and use of their money, it this does not exceed $500 apiece for the captain, su- percargo, and pilot, and $100 apiece for the sailors and passengers. Art. 16. It is further stipulated that on! nals shall take cognizance of prize cases lished for that Lr ig in the country to which those prizes may be made shall be taken. And whenever such tribunal of either of the parties shall pronounce | sentence against any vessel, merchandise or property claimed by citizens of the other, the sentence or decree shall contain the reasons or grounds on which it is founded; and an authentic copy of the sentence or de- cree, and of the whole process, shall be delivered with- out delay to the commander or agent of said vessel, if he desire it, on payment of legal rates. ‘Art. 17. No foreign commander of a privateer, holding letters of marque from any prince or State which is an enemy to one of the two contracting parties, shall be permitted to fit out his vessels in the ports of the other nation, nor to sell his prizes, or in any manner to alien- ate them; neither shall he buy provisions except what may be necessary for his voyage to the nearest port be- longing to the prince or State from which he has receiv- ed his tters of marque. Art. 18. No citizen of the Dominican Republic shall it or receive from avy prince or State that isina the United States any commission for arming any vessel in- privateer against the said United or against the person or 80) state of war wit or letters of tended to sail as a States, against any of them, roperty of any citizen or inhabitant whatever of the United States aforesaid, or any of them. Neither shall any citizen of the United States, or of any of them, solicit or receive from any prince or State that is at war with the Dominican Republic, any commission or letters of reprisal, to arm any vessel intended to sail as a priva- teer against the said Dominican Republic, or against the person or property of any citizen or inhabitant of the same whatever; and if any tsar] of either nation shall take such commission or letters of reprisal, such person shall be punished according to their respective laws. Art. 19. The two contracting parties mutually concede the liberty of maintaining, in the ports and places of | commerce of the other nation, consuls, vice consals and commercial agents of their own choice, who shall enjoy the same privileges, powers and exemptions as those of the most favored nations. But if any of them carry on commercial. business, they shall be subject, as far as their commercial. transactions are concerned, to the eame laws and customs as the private citizens of their nation, or the subjects or citizens of the most favored or privileged nation. It is also agreed that each of the con- tracting parties shall be, however, at liberty to except those ports and places in which the admission and residence of consuls, vice consuls, or commercial agents may not appear convenient. Art. 20. Whenever either of the contracting parties chooses for consul or consular agent, in any commercial port or place of the party, a citizen of thia last, such consul or consular agent, notwithstanding his character of foreign consul, shall continue to be considered a citi- zen of the nation to which hi and as such, sub- ject to the same laws and reg 8 as the natives of ‘the place of his residence. This, however, shall interfere in no wise with the performance of his functions as con- sul, nor with the inviolability of the consular archives. ‘Art. 21. Said consuls, vice consuls, and commercial agents are authorized to require the assistance of th | local authorities for the examination, arrest, detention, | and imprisonment of deserters (rom merchant vessels | and vessels of war of their country. For this purpose | they shall have recourse to the competent triouaals, | judges, and employés, and shall reclaim in writing said | Weserters, proving, by the exhibition of the register of | the vessel, by the roll of the crew, or by other proper documents, that such individuals formed a portion of the crew; and when the reclamation shall be thus sustained, | the delivery shall not be refused. When such deserters | are arrested, they shall be put at the disposition of the | said consuls, vice consuls, or commercial agents, and they shall be detained in the public prison, under the care and charge of those who reclaim’ them, until they are restored to the vessel to which they be- long, or returned to ther country by a vessel of their | own nation, or any other, But if they are not sent | away within three months, counting from their arrest, | they shall be set at liberty, and shall not be arrested again for the same cause. Notwithstanding, if it be found that the deserter has committed any crime or offence, his delivery shall be deferred until the tribanal | before which his case is pending shall have pronounced | sentence and it bas been executed. t Art. 22. The citizens of each of the contracting parties | shall enjoy in the territories cf the other the right to acquire, oceupy, buy, inherit, lease, bequeath, or trans- mit, by ‘any this whatever, their goods and property of | every class, as is permitted or may be permitted by laws and treaties to the citizens of the most favored nations— the possession, distribution and succession of said pro- perty being regulated by the laws of the country in | which they are situated, and enjoying the same protec- tion, and Being subject to the same taxes aod imposts, as the property and goods of the inhabitants of the same country. Art. 23 The Dominican Republic and the United | States, on requisition made in their name, throw their rerpective consuls and diplomatic agents, will de- liver up to justice the individuals of either nation, who, > ing the spring meeting. any other way, neither of the contracting parties will Order or authorise any sct-of reprisals, oer will declare war against the other in resentment for the injuries produced by such violation, until the party considering itself aggrieved shall have presented to the other a state- ment or exposition of such injuries or offences, support: ing them by sufficient proofs, and demanded reparation, and that the same shall have been denied or delayed without due cause. Art. 29, The present conventions shall remain in force | and virtue for tae period of twelve years, counting from the day of the exchange of ratifications; ‘and if, twelve months before the expiratien of that period, neither of the contracting parties shall have announced to the other, by an official notification, its definite intention, the effects of said conventions ‘shall be obligatory one year in addition to that time, and so successively, until the expiration of the twelve montha following such no- tification, at whatever time it be given. It is under- stood and agreed by both parties that—even if the sti- pulations of this treaty, so far as they relate to com- merce, navigation and éxtradition, should never go into eflect—they shall remain in full force, so far as they relate to peace and amity, which shall be obligatory on Leth Powers forever. ‘Art. 30. The present treaty of peace. amity, commerce, navigation and extradition shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged in the city of San Domingo with- in ten months, counting from the date of the signing of the same, or before, if it shall be possible.

WILLIAM L. CAZNEAU. The Turf. SOUTH CAROLINA BACKS—A TWENTY MILE RACE. Corcarge Covrsr, Covumnia, 8. C., Dec. 15,—Purse $700, four mile heats, The entries for the race to-day were Griff Edmonston, Ellen Ivans and Cordelia Reed. Griff, from his unprecedented time at Atlanta, beating the beautiful and renowned daughter of Sovereign— Mary Taylor—in 7:32, 7:30, was the favorite against the field—one hundred to twenty—and great was the cash laid out at these udds. At the sound of the bugle the three came to the post, all looking well and eager for the fray. Griff won the track, and at the tap of the drum all three got off well together, Griff taking the lead, with Cordelia second and Ellen in the rear. This position they maintained until entering the front stretch in the second mile, when Ellen, from jealousy, or a desire to converse awhile with the renowned Griff, made play at Cordelia, and, with great impoliteness, soon passed, and at the stand took a position close in the wake of the renowned son of Childe Harold. Round the turn and up the backstretch she sought an inter- view, but it was no go; to the judges’ stand they come again with a length of daylight between them. Thus they round the turn, and into the back stretch they en- ter for the fourth time. Now she pleads ‘in, and not in vain, to take hia arm, which he very gallantly cffers, and through the stretch the noble pair move most gracelully; but the turn ix hardly reached ere they again part company, and Grit! is seen winding his way into the quarterstretch some two or three lengths of day- light ahead, which position he seemed easily to main- tain to the stand, winning the heat in 8:01, with Ellen second and Cordelia clove up. ‘The result of the heat increased the confidence of the friends of the horse; and, indeed, the erate § ones considered the race won. After the usual delay the bugle rounded, and the three came to the stand, eoniee, well. The drum agsin taps, and away they dash, Gril again in the lead, with Ellen close in rear, and le- lia, with a strong pull, behind. At a rattling pace the two 8 the stand, and while into the second mile up the backstreteh Ellen makes a desperate rush, and for a moment laps Griff. ‘Now she has him,” is heard all through the quarterstretch; but it is no go, for the horse soon parts company with her, and leads into the frontstretch a couple of lengths. Here the lades change positions. Cordelia Reed now seems disposed to draw neorer to his lordship. The third mile is run, and into the backstretch of the fourth they enter, Griff still some two lengths in advance. Here the mare pees him, and for a few moments it looks like she ae $ the turn but again Griff draws clear of ner, aud rounds towards the quarterstretch with daylight between them. Here both ¥ for = desperate are seen prepari + struggle to the stand, and through and over corn stalks, four leet high, at the head of the stretch, is seen to stride a tall Tennesseean, the owner of Cordelia. ‘ Pull out and drive home,’’ he is heard to shout, with a heave forward as if he would push the mare in ‘advance with his ponderous body. And @ pull and a drive it was— whips cracking and horses down at their work, they swing into the quarterstretch for home. The mare laps him on the outside, when the rider of Griff pulls out and forete the boy on the mare to pull back to the inside. At the quarter pole again she laps him, and again the rider of Griff pulls in, and with the head of the mare at his saddle skirts, and her sides brushing the railing, they pass the string, Ellen Ivans pulling up some five lengths behind. The judges were not long deciding the foul riding taking place immediately under their eye, so Griff is ruled off and the heat given to Cordelia. ‘Time, 8:07. “Chunky, you have got them,’’ is heard from the mouths of many, as the same tall son of Tennessee comes striding some fifteen feet at a jerk towards the stand. ‘Did I win the heat? Don’t tell me a lie,” says Chunky. “You did,” said the crowd, “the horse is ruled off, and the beat grven to Cordelia Reed.” “ The first luck I ever had in my life,”’ says Chunky, stretch- ing himeelf up about four feet higher than the tallest man in the crowd. » Both mares cool off well, and at the sound of the bugle come to the string eager forthe fray. At the tap of the drum they swing round the turn side and side, and for three miles and three-quarters no span of horses went nearer together, side touching side, than did there beautiful mares. As they rounded the turn forthe quarter stretch Ellen gradually slipped away from her partaer, and led to the stand some two lengths, winning the heat. Time 8:14. Now comes the tug of war; each mare has a heat, yet no one can tell the winner, they are so nearly matched. At the appointed time the ‘dram taps, and again they are gone. For three miles and three-quarters they go like the wings upon one bird—neither being able to out- strip the other—but as they near the quarter stretch Filen again takes the lead. and straightens for home, daylight between them. ‘Drive her,” says Chunky, and again the whips fairly talk. And after a most ex- citing struggle they reach the string dead locked, as though they were lashed together. Time 8: After this heat Ellen looked very much distressed, whilst Cordelia, under the extreme good management of her trainer, the renowned Patterson, looked like a winner. Again the drum taps, and the two noble animals are off for the fifth and last heat—first one and then the other is in the lead—and as they change, one hundred to fifty is offered, first on one and then the other. At every turn in évery mile they change places, but as they round the turn from the backstretch towards the front of the last round, the “blood of the old horse’’ told the | tale, and Cordelia led to the stand in a gallop, winning the beat and the race. Time 11:15. LOUISIANA RACES. General T. J. Wells, who is now in this city, has decided not to go to Charleston this winter, as he had iutended to. He returns immediately to his plantation on Red river, taking with bim his noble horse, Lecomte; return- ing to this city with him next spring, io time for the races then to come off on the Metairie course. Mr. TenBroeck’s fine horse Lexington is now at the stables of Colonel Bingaman, Natchez, where he is in training for bis great match ‘against time, a challeny from the owner—who proposed to run him against 7:26, a four mile heat, Lecomte’s time—having been accepted by a Virginia gentleman. The race will be run over the Metairie course next spring, Mr. TenBroeck having from the Ist to the 15th of April to do it in, and baving the privilege of naming three different days for the race. There is a well grounded expectation that these two superb racers will again come together on the turf dur- If this hope is realized, we shall have a contest that will excite a deeper interest than any that has taken place for many years. We indulge the confident h that rothing occur to prevent its coming off.—New Orleans Picayune, Dec. 19. Tae Cimats or Srsastoro..—Thie Rr to which the attention of the whole civilized world is now directed, is situated in latitude 444, but is so surround- ed with water, that its climate does not partake of the severity of the same parallel in this country. This con- tiguity to the sea preserves a more uniform tempera- ment than that of an interior country. storms of the Black Sea are very severe, as was experi- enced on the 19th of November last, and these storms of rain and sleet must be felt severely by the troops of the allied armies in their tents.

The Emperor evinced the tact for which he is remarkable when he decreed that his subjects should observe but one na- tional holiday—the 16th of August, the féle of Saint Napoleon. If the French are to retain the title which Paul Louis Courier, their Junius, conferred upon them—that of the plus valet des peuples—if they voluntarily condema them- selves to servitude, they must recognise in politics the axiom which is fundemental in religion, that a nation, like an individual, ‘cannot serve many masters.” They must admit that even the tyranny of one is preferable to that of a multitude. But indispensable as are the ad- vantages which a dictator may substitute for the dreaded chaos of anarchy—patent and extraordinary as is the administrative ability of the ruler whose reign would be immortalized, even if it could claim ne other distinction than that of having, in three years, transformed the as- pect of Paris by a surprising series of embellishments, not all the genius of the First Napoleon could have con- secrated as @ popular holiday the anniversary of the second of December Even if it were a regularly appointed holiday, it would not be very gayly celebrated to-day. The smoke of re- cent battles in the Crimea had hardly cleared away, leaving frightful heaps of slain and wounded in sight, when a London fog of diplomacy stole across the chan- nel with Lord Palmerston, and Paris is enveloped in it as thickly as Frankfort-on-the-Maine, Berlin and Vienna, cach in its own misty atmosphere, of the same consis- tency. If it is more chilly, it cannot be less clear at St. Petersburg than it is here. It would require a brilliant illumination, indeed, to dissipate the gloom which pre- vails among Parisians. The ray of hope that Austria will at length decide—that she has, perhaps, this very day decided—to enter definitely into alliance with the Western Powers, only ‘‘ makes the darkness visible.’’ The additional details which continue to arrive res- ening he bloody and gperile battle of Inkermann, have not relieved the genétal depression of spirits in France. That battle, it is universally felt, resembled a duel in which both’ the combatants fall, grievously if not fatally wounded. The allies on the one side, the Russians | on the other, fought with equal fury, and neither | have gained any advan 80 decisive and com- plete as to compensate for the prodigious slaugh- | ter on both sides. The forced suspension of hostili- ties until the arrival of reinforcements may precede, like o lull in a storm, a still more terrible shock of arms; but the suspension was absolutely necessary. The hos- tile cannon’ ceased to roar; the survivors had leisure to bury their dead, the combined fleets to prepare for re- sisting, as beat’they may, auch destructive tempests on the Black Sea as they experienced on the 14th; Genet Canrobert and Lord Rag! to write their despatches: and Prince Napoleon to nurse his unlucky dysentery and receive an unprecedented visit from the Sultan at Constantinople. This unfortunate prince has been uh- mercifully (Imight almost add ungratefully) treated by those wicked wags, the newspaper correspondents. he not supplied them with a full extra budget of what they cali nouvelles posiéricures ? It must be confessed, however, that his tardy and awkward spologiste (by special order) have done him more harm than those who have openly attacked him in England, and else- | where out of F There is, then, a lull in the storm of war. Meanwhile, the sword being half sheathed, the penis busy. Diploma. tists resume the place which generals with their armies and admirals with their fleets had occupied before the ublic eye. Now, to follow the mysterious evolutions of e Eastern question you must leave Sebastopol and hurry to and fro from St. Petersburg to Berlin, from Berlin to Frankfort-on-the-Maine and to Vienna, from Lendon to Paris, and again to Vienna. You will at once perceive that Lord Palmerston’s visit to Paris has all the import- ance of an event. Whether it will result in strengthen- ing or in relaxing the ties of the Anglo-French alliance, it cannot fail of decisive consequences. I can well spare | you and myself the fatigue of considering the absurd and contradictory rumors which it has occasioned; for Thave secured, from an entirely different and reliable source, & programme, as it were, of the main topics of discussion w! were to be broached by his lordship in his interviews with the Emperor and with the mem! of the imperial Cabinet. Among these topics figure pro- | The Fl f military operations to be followed i | in Oo} ious in re- | lation to Russia; ‘The interior political system of France; The questions of alliances; eon the bases of the aid which England is to lend to e war. ‘As to the first point, the English are too practi- cal and clear-sighted not to perceive that seri- ous errors have already been committed, and that profound modification must be made in the plan of military operations against Russia. Lord Palmerston was to propose as the alternative of a definite, pomti adbesion of the Germanic States to the policy of Jand and France, to substitute, for an exclusi Oriental and maritime war an open and continental war, which will necessarily become a war. ‘As to the second point, delicate and difficult as it is, Lord Palmerston was not to conceal the fact that the English have been struck with surprise at seeing their new allies, the French, almost indifferent to the war, and este oe ee ee, en bower! its pier was not to te to suggest, with due modesty, however, the restoration of certain lil 4 the French have been deprived, and « partial transform- ation of the dictatorial régime of the empire into @ somewhat more constitutional régime—in a word, to counsel concessions of a kind like those which were made by the first empire 4 the Hundred Days, and other similar means of enlis the sympathy of the people in the war. As to the third point, the question of alliances was to be wholly ved anew. England and France standing alone on the line against Russia, for Tur- ing without administration, capable of cou! 5 not of sustained efforts, can scarcely counted on. Pozzo di Borgo did not err, in 1821, when he described the Turks as ‘‘ bad allies for any defender | whatsoever.”” If England and France fail to attract | Europe to their side of the quarrel with Russia—if they announce in vain to Sweden, Prussia, and Austria that the war is one of civilization against barbarism—if Fre- derick William will not forget that Nicholas is his bro- ther-in-law, and the “young and ehivalrous’’ Emperor of Austria that the Czar quelled rebellious Hungary—if, , 1m fine, the ents of Europe persist in not admit- | ting that Russia is not barbarian, and the people of | Europe in not believing that France and are the sole representatives of civilization, why, then, desperate remedies must be tried. At any cost whatever, anisaue must be attempted out of the disastrous bad ieee posi- tion which has lasted more than a year. rtain al- liances must be renounced. Sure allies must be found. The constitutional governments—Switzerland, Piedmont, | Belgiam—must he grouped together. Austrian Italy must be revolutionized, the necessity which even Maz- nd his friends of a military dictatorship to suggesting at once s pretext for an appeal to se Italian democrats, and a hope that even fock dangerous allies may be ultimately outwitted, if necessary. Hun- gary and Kossuth are not forgotten in this new cata- logue of possitle allies. Poland must be re-constituted, not from revolutionary motives, but to restore the equi- liorium of Europe; and then the Western Powers will marzh triumphantly t Russia, with Germany or | without her, or even im spite of her. As to the fourth point, public ramor was not mistaken in saying that England counted upon contributing her quota with money rather than with men. It cannot be concealed that the voice of rumor was pitched at quite an angry tone in saying this. Whatever bargain th nephew of Napoleon may strike with the victors at Wa terloo—with the “pation of shopkeepers’’—he woul not hastily accept, in the name of France, what the people could hardly fail to cry out against as “the price | of blood.’ | Many conjectures have been made as to a loan, the | raising of which Lord Palmerston was also to propose | The conjecture fixes the sum of this loan at a milliard guarenteed by the two powers—France en; 1g itsel tor two hundred and fifty millions, and seven hundred and fifty millions. A rumor to this effec in Paris bas occasioned | quite a rise at the Bourse. ‘Two other rumors I must mention as afloat, and likely to produce no little oscillation at the Bor the visit of Lord Palmerston is to hey, but’ of against Austria, and another, tnat it is to result in the signature of a new treaty of aliiance between Aus- tria and the Western Powers. The two rumors, you ive, are as contradictory as rumors usually are; but 't would not be so difficult, perhaps, as it would seem at first to prove, that both may possibly be well founded. It would not require much second sight to predict that the signing of a treaty by Austria would not be a per- manent obstacle to an eventual war between Austria and the Western Powers. Lord Palmerston may ha had both ‘‘eventualities”” in his mind while he criticising the uniform of the Imperial Guards at the re- view Inet Monday. Napoleon Ill. may have both in his mind, as he eyes the model tents in the garden of the Tuileries, and asks himself how long it may be before ‘many more like them’’ shall be seen, not only in the Crimea and on the banks of the Danube, but on and far beyond the banks of the Rhine. On the other hand, the German diplomatia' ire by no means idle. their persevering slowness ve well nigh cilgented the patience of bo Western Powers. than the Is the table of the lustrated anew? Ihave been favored with the perusal of a letter in which the y of Austria is indicated by a person whose sagacity, no less than his official position, entitles his views to serious attention.

The Austrians try at this moment to ¢ Prussia and the Confederation in a way in which a retreat will very soon be closed behind them.
