WHOLE NO. 6842. THE .NEW YORK] ——$—$—$——__. MORNING EDITION—MONDAY, MAY 21, 1855. IMPORTANT FROM SAINT DOMINGO. “The Dominican Government Coerced by the British Consul. OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS ON THE SUBJECT. At the latter end of March last a conspiracy was de- ‘veloped and defeated in St Domingo. The principal conspirators fled to and were protected in the British ‘Consulate. The government demanded their surrender, and it was refused, The Consul demsnied passports for his protégés, and they were granted. The following ‘correspondence and official documents explain the whole matter:— OUR ST, DOMINGO COBRESPONDENCE. St. Dominao, April 24, 1855. Tencloss the Dominican Gaceta de Gobierno of the 17th, which publiehes a very important document reiative to ‘the difficulty between the executive and the British Con- sul about the dismissal without trial of the negro con spirators who were rectived and protected at the British ‘Consulate in defiance of all right or law. It appears from it that the Cabinet, after much hesit: and by ‘the advice of the Sensdo Consultor, consented to give passports to those rebels “out of respect to her Bri- tannic Majesty,” which means out of fear of her ships of war. The Consul declared he would not deliver the ‘conspirators for trial, and that her Majesty would ap- prove his conduct, which he sustained by bringing seve- ral sbips of war from the Antiiles squadron. The Do- mipican rnment prote: against the exercise of this unlimited right of asylum, and anys foreign con- suls cannot in this msnner protect those who conspire aga‘nst the government; but Iam sure this declaration amounts to nothing; becaus?, if in » like case, a consul should threaten St. Domingo with a bombardment, all the conspirators in the republic would be certain to ob- tain their paseporte, as the chief criminals have now at ‘the command of the European Consuls ANTILLIS. ‘[Tramslated from the Gaceta de Gobierno, April 17.) MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR —POLICE AND AGRIOUL- TURD. ‘The Council of Secretaries of State assembled under the presidency of the Charge of the Executive power. Cer- vain individua's involved in the conspiracy of the 25th of March Isst having taken refuge in the British Consu- Inte, the executive power deemed it necossary to demand ‘their curzencer, not only because the Consul has not the right of granting asylum, but that even if he had he could only make use of it in cases provided {or by the Jaw of naticns and by special stypulations, and never in favor of conspirators with arms in their hands, as has ‘been the case with some persons shelcered ‘in said Con- sulate, It is true that the government of her Britannic Majesty has approved the coaduct which her Consul has adopted in other circumstances, in giving asylum to per- sons persecuted for political opinions; but neither can ‘the precedent establish the law, nor is there a similarity of circumstances—since armed conspirators against the legitimately constituted government have never been pro. “tected in foreign consulates. These antecedents have in- duced the Consul of H B. M. to refuse to surrender up the persons who took refugs in his Consulate, compelling them te colicit their passports, reserving to. himaelf to report to his government for the purpose ef obtaining new instructions for events which may occur in fature. ‘The executive power. through the organ of the Minister of the Interior, Police, &c., by his communication of the €th inst (Aprtl,) informed the consultative Senate on this event, asking it to enlighten him with its opinion on the following points :— 1, If, notwithstanding the reasons exposed, the execu- tive power ought to issue the passports indicated, either on account of the law of tolerance, which the Consul in- -voked, or to preserve the ha) Which ought to exist Jetween this government and that of Her Britannic Me: jesty. im case of refosing the passports, the executive « oe ht to insist on reclaiming tho iadividuals col- Koted in tre British Consulate ‘and the maseaur ‘which the Senate Counsel may judge opportune for the parpose, The ccusultecive fonate Feplied in the followiag man- its pote of thie date :— In exaraining the matter with the most-scrapulous and careful attention, aud having in view the dispositions of the Jaw of ions, the State constitution, the treatis of friendship and commerce celgorated with Englan: and otber nations, and the laws binding them, the coneultative Senate agrees with the ion formed by the government, that suls have no right of asylum; they bad. they could not make u who machinate it the , DOT those who comm! A neither can the tolerance invoked by her British Majesty’s Consul 1, because, being against the law which bnds ‘nations, it cannot be observed in any manner, nor can it produce any effect. It is also too well known that the Jaws of police and safety govern all those who inhabit the Territory, and that in the laws of security are com- prised those laws which repress crimes, misdemeanors ‘and contraventions of the potice, so that every fore’ whoever is subject to them in the same way as nativ. on account of the Peer thereby affordei to them. The consultative Senate also observes that the penalty of banisbment is of iteslf an afflictive penalty, according to the closing provision of the codes whish govern us, and cam only be pronounced by a competent tribunal, since it brings with it a condemastion to be transported Deyond the territory of the republic five years at leas‘, and tem at most; and so much as can be, and under what- ever circumstances, the independence of the powers establishing the fumiamental fact must be observed. In view of all these circumstances, it would ap- to the Senate that to put an end to a custom which may prejudice public tranquillity, necessary measures should be takeu to notify the Uon- sula of the different nations who have been established in the republic, that in future they must abstein from admitting into their Consulates, or giving asylum to, aD! minican or foreigner, whatever bs tae crime im pave to him, against whom the laws of the coun'ry may be proceeding d if this will not suffice, or if they @) introdace difficulties, a formal complaint to thelt respective governments should be resorted to; the government thinks, consulates cannot sylums for crimnals, nor for t303e who ma chinate against the security of the State. Notwith- stonding all which, the consultative Senate is of opinion that, through respect to the august name of H. B. M. by which her Consul bas asked that passpores be granted to those who have taken refuge in his Consulate, ani by an act of national clemency, which tn rament mey satisfactorily exercise, since mercy snd indulgenco are always agreeable, as well as to preserve the relations of good harmeny whish exist between doth governments, the government of the republic aa imm»diately grant ports to all those who, being in said Consulats, ask Phonan who will not subject themssives to the results of the judicial investigation which has been opened against the conspirators of the 25th ult., since it is by no means proper to close the docrs of fustification against who- ever seeks it. If the government do not adopt this opi- nion and persist in reclaiming the individuals assembled in the British Consulate, it ought to make use of all the measures of moderation and considerateness which the law of nations suggests in such circumstances, 80 as not to alter the good relations of triendship which {t hulés with the reign naming tho Consular Agent and who has been admittsd in the republis, ‘The Executive Power having heard the Council of Secre- taries of State bas resolyed—That in consideration of the statement of the Consul of her Britaanic Majesty in his communition of the 28th Masch last, and of Lae, tga tion which in the name of his august Sovereign, he has wade to’the c ot the Executive Power, onSwaday the Sth inst , imp! clemency iu favor of the refagees in ‘his Consulate, it grants and ite that their porta be delivered to the following persons, and that they leave the the republic; to wit: Senores R. de Mena, Leon Guilamo, eres, Luis P.

In 1844, when for the first time, some Dom‘nicans ‘ound a shelter under the shadow of the baaner of France, in the house of M. E. Juchereau de St. Denis, thove Deminicars were not paraued as conspirators, ‘Tey had 2ot deen in avy way bostile to the government of that time (the Central Gubernatorial Junta); they had not violated existing laws; and, without saying bere to explain the motive of their persecution, we limit oureelvas to establish that they were not under the weight of any sentence, or of any accusation, and that in aseembling under the shelter of the French Con- tul they did not attempt to evade a legal judgment, but to place themselves under protection from the evil pas- sions which reigned in those times. In 1849, before the entry of Generel Santanna into the copital, when a large number of Dominicens took refuge in the French, #nglish and American Consulates, neither bad there persons cons) against the government of President Jimenes; their object was not to take part in a fratricidal war, in the strde which said Jimenes excited and attempted to engage tne heroic army and its gallant chief in, who succeeded in saving the country on the banks of the Ocoa. After the entry of General Santana, and in conse- querce of the fal of tbe govers ment of General Jimenes, some Dominicans again took refuge in the Consulates, without apy objection on the part of the government; but neither. were these conspirators—they were only members of a vanquivhed party, persecuted, it is true, for their politieal errors, but who, far from having con spired sgainst tke constituted authorities, had, on the contrary, austained a government which, although at that time declared outlawed, bad been a constitutionaliy established government. In other epochs of deplorable memory (we allude to the years 1845 and 1847) none of the indiv:dvals involved in the conspiracies of those daces toox refuge in the consulates; ana the government in such a case would mort probably have reclaimed them. From there precedents it is evident that in the different cases which have been recurred to the house of the copsuls saecredited in this republic bave never served Iter to Dom nicans who have conspired against the established goverdment, nor as an aeylum where they have evaded a judgment legally obtained; circumstance which proves that the government hi not ceparted from truth when it declared that there wa no equality of circumstances. E The advice sought from the Senate by the Executive, the wise appreciation of the sudject which the former showed, and the intelligent opinion with which it en pear the government, added te the determination of the government to concede to the consul thi sought, have put an end in a salisfactory manaer questton rai But the protest of t wont, and’ its express declaration, constitute act of the greatest importance, to which we call public attention, with the laudeble object of avoiding in future disagreeable controversies and bitter deceptions. rts cy ahe Hobeken Ferry Company vs. The Peo- ple of Heboken—Mceting in favor of the Commutation System. A meeting was held Saturday evening at the Town Hall of Hoboken, to take into consideration the action of the Ferry Company in suspending the system of commuta- tion. The rate, it appears, was ten dollars & year for men, and three doliars for women; but according to the TUIL DUW cmtmblished, aach person is required to pay three cents every time he crosses the terry. uv atepors, Stevens state, in justification of their conduct, that many persons are in the habit of passing on one ticket, and that they bave no other way of remedying the abuse than by withdrawing the commutation alto- gether. The people of Hoboken are said to be iadigasnt at this, and called the meeting referred to with the view of baviog thecld order of things re-established. The following poster was displayed on the walls and other ecrspicuous places throughout the city; but the audi- ence nevertheless was ecmewhat limited: eocoeccecococo coo e oo 2 000000O WILL THE COMPANY LET U3 HAVE TICKETS?

Harrixtp made s few brief remarks. He said he consicered the course wdopted by the company as a great injustice to persons who bad movea into Hoboken on the lst of May, under the impression that there would be no change in the commutation, avd that it also tended to depreciate the vaive of house property. As a property holder, he knew it wasan injury to him, as persuns before rent- ing @ house from him would take into consideration the increased rate of ferriage. He concluded by moving that a ‘committee of seven be appointed to wait upon the company, and inquire if they intended to establish the commotation system. Mr. Warttry enid that it was necessary firat to ascer- tain the views and intentions of the company before the meeting should teke any active steps upon the subject.

Ove of the principal reasons for this important change-hov within the last three years been more apparent than formerly, that of two applications for different societies being 0 often re- peated, creating the impression not unfrequently that appeals were making for different organizations, while in reality all the funds collected by 2) xiliar, t into the treasury of the parent, the distributing agent. With thesc ex; you thia evening to confirm the recommendation of the two Boards, that the City Bible. and Missionary Society now dissolve its auxiliary connection with tue parent society, disband and transfer its colporteurs and all operations to said society. We believe this is whe best coures that can be pursued. It might be well to remark Yere that while some Baptists are employed as colpor- tears by other societies into the field and one which no other socie:y sends them as such, This is an important fact should no be overlooked. Whe: ictien they cannot represent ours The question ts a very simple one. Vo we consider our cenominational views of suficient importance to en- deavor to preserve and promulgate them? If so, this col- orteur enterprise must be taken hold of and pushed forward with renewed energy. ssion mast be the ‘watchword, as it is admitted on ail hands that there is a Jarge portion of our population that can be reached in no other way.
