The Lolphin, of the Paraguayan ficet, is anchored in this harbor, and three others are at Montevideo, The expe” dition commands great attention, and is honored with all minds of predictions as to success. ‘A late number of the Seminario, a Paraguayan journal, some up the grievances of that couvtry in this manner:— The money lost by the company claiming damages was berrowed from the National Bank. No machinery was ever brought. The laborers were Paraguayang. The pro- perty was fairly valued, and sold for ita worth. The ‘Water Witch was warned not to intrude upon the Para- goayan pide of theriver. The republic can haye but one ‘answer, and for a war is well preparcd.”” Tam able to lay before you some. items concerning the Jast point—the Paraguayan preparation for war. The first defences worthy of the name are two or three leagues above the confluence of the rivers Paraguay and Parana. At what is called the Tres Bocas (the three mouths of the Paraguay) there is a small station, but of too little force to be considered. But there js, a little higher up, a range of defences called Humaita, that is intended to command the river perfectly. It consists of a range of batterics ex- tending along the ebore for a distance of about a mile and a@half, and mounting about one hundred and fity gans, ‘The breastworks are made of timber in front, filled in ‘with clay from behind, making sucn an elevation for the guns as directs them towards tho middle of the narrow channel. The bank here is about fifteen feet above tho water. About the middle of this line of unsheltered guns there ie a covered battery, mounting thirteen guns. The walls and covering are of brick. The embragures or open- fogs for the guns are bevelled from the outside instead of from within, making a large target around each gun, and making the wall so weak that a cannon ball hitting apywhere near the gun would knock the bricks over the heads of the gunners. Across the river from this line of batteries they have recently cleared away o heavy forest, and as that side would com- mand the river fora greater diatance than does the one now occupied, the probability is that our expedition will Bod guns on both sides. ‘She river at that point is narrow, and the channel 18 90 Barrow that turning round is out of the question, and go elose to the Humaita fort is it that you could stand on abip board and toss & biscuit on shore, Below the fort, and on the same side, the ground is @overed with low trees and tangied brush, almost im- penetrable. Here and there in this forest, within sight of the river, little patches have been cleared. There isa ‘this point also such a bend in the river that a ship ascend fog does not seo the fort until nearly upon it, But vessels ‘that can throw shells two miles, as ours can, could lie un- der cover of that forest and that bend, and the range o ‘batteries is such that a shell would have a width of target of amile and a balf; so that not a shell need be lost. Dees not Lopez foresee this, and are not these patches of cleared forest placcs where guns will be planted to annoy the shell throwers? ‘ Back of the defences directly on the river bank there are placed breastworks, at irregular distances, and point- mg some down the river and others up, with reference to @ retreat from the river side, and to be used in case of an attempted landing by the attacking party. The number of soldiers within easy call of this fort is about 12,000. They have not the skill or power ina con- ict that we find in the troops of the leading nations of the World, but they are by far the best troops in South Ame rica. Their liberal mixture of Indian blood makes them much more formidable in battle than the pure Spanish, They do sometimes get into confusion, but they do not ven or retreat, unless ordered, No Paraguayan leaves his post and lives another day. Every lance, lasso or knife in the republic is commissioned against him in sum- mary execution. They are wanting In ¢xpertness in using hoavy guns, and the foreign instructors whom they have employed ‘will not engage in actual conflict, being released from that Obligation by contract. But they are not wanting in savage ferocity, or in fatal skill in the use of the ‘‘bolas,”” ‘the “ lasso” or the lance, and 40,000 men can be con- centrated at one point upon very short notice. For dis- tant fighting they are not prepared. Judge Bowiin will doubtless be detained at or below Humaita until it shall Please Lopez to let a negotiation commence, The result of it can only be conjectured, The sentiment here is that be will offer a serious and tedious resistance, Buxwos Ayres, Nov. 30, 1868, Paraguay— First Seltlement—Reinforcements- —Indepen- dence—Dr. Francia’s Policy--Guarini—Non- Intercourse Loper—His Character—Mililary ForceRiver Batlery— Strength, de. Paraguay, an inland government of South Amorica, is historically connected with the earliest Spanish advon- turers inthe southern bemisphere.

The remnant of the party proceeded up the river and Iaid the foundation—1635—of the far famed city of Asun- ion, Atthis point aid was easily obtained from home, ‘and so safe and inviting was the piace that Asuncion soon gathered all the Spanish population of tho valley of the La Plata, It was not jong until the beauty and fertili: ty of that tropical garden became a point of attraction af- fecting even Spain and Germany, In 1542 they were again Fetnforced, and soon after they wore supplied with horned attle from Brazil, which afforded the beginning of those Gountlers herds that havo for generations made the woalth Of South America, From 1680 the history of Paraguay becomes identified ‘With that of the province of the La Plata, of which it form. 48 part, until, after various fortunes, tho Vice Royalty Of Buenos Ayres, thon including Paraguay, formally de- Glared ite independenco of Spain in 1810, and soon aftor Paraguay declared herself indepondent of the now govorn- went.

PAGE, CONSUL HOPKINS—WaR ACCEPTED, [Translated from El Semanario del Paraguay of Nov. 28, for the New York Axnaup } We have seen with indigoauou the lying petition of the so-called Company of ay om of the United States and Paraguay; and we bave been astonished to see that tho committee of the Senate bes taken it for the base and founcation of it report, published in our previous number. We refrain fiom inserting here this infamous pro- duction, £0 a8 not to offeud our readers, who would be as indigpant a8 ourselves to see stamped there the biuckest impostures and unbeard calumnies, It appears ridiculous paper to which we refer isa, itated decoy on the part of an imaginary company, which, trusting in a dreamy wealth, has broken the bar- riers to cecorum, to morality, aud to all Binds of con- elcerstions, 80 as to alurm tbe Legislative Assemblies and accomplih the strange idea which the Senatorial Commit- twe bas fuiminated against the republic of Paraguay, We have seen among the misstatements published in this execrabie sheet the unbridled license of ‘thomas Page, who has believed tbat he could save himself by denying hs public and notorious crimes in this city, and the effrontery with whicn he in- suits and depreciates the President of the republic of Para- euay, to the apparent satisfaction of Buchanaa. We have seen the advancing impostares of the French- man Guillemot, who, bewg eutrusied with French in- terests in this city, hae been the seandal of the people, the pluytbing of © * * ® ; and with all this he has lent bomeeif to congratulate them. We have eeen the declarations—or, better said, the strarge impostures—of Ferguson, Boyd and Morales, 4nd consequently the strange conduct of Buchavan bus horsified vs; and the unclassifiable report of the Committee of the Senate which has repro duced in its entixety the iniquiwus and daring petition of the before mentioned f0-calied company. It was only left for the committee to copy from the petition, that it would be svfficient to exbibit to the government of the republic of Paraguay the vain sbow of the gilded cannons of the Americans, and that the rights of the company would be promptly accoroed, Alter filling itself with injurious reproaches and atrocious calumpies ; towards the government of the repubhe, the Committee of the Senate concludes that it will employ force if Lopez, as it says, does not al- low the American expedition to proceed on its exploration, and Americans to continue their commercial enterprises. ‘A beautiful way of seeking our hospitality! Let Buchanan take it for a certainty that Page, Hopkins avd bis so-called company will not conquer our shorcs. This affects the honor and the dignity of the republic—the good fume and the vindication of the high respects of his kxceliency the President of the Republic. It is evflicient to ray the pecuniary demands of the ro called Company of Navigation of the United States are Xceseive that they verge apon the absurd. It is indu- bitable that the American Minster who approaches our government with a reciamation so unjust and excessive Will receive a terrible undeceiving:; and if, in view of the documentary evidence which our government prosents to dissipate and destroy radically the impostures of the com- pany, he docs not wish to submit to the dictates of reason and truth,we bave no pain in asserting (because we ‘e well aware of the feelings of our government) that ar 18 mevitable, It is pot possible that a loyal and truthful government, which, a8 it desires that its immunites and guarantees should be respected, bas kuown to respect its opponents, can admit the shameful reproach of a reprebensibie pusil: lanmity and accept a vituperative submission before tho eyes of our own fellow citizens, so zealous for their honor and their dignity. The public ought to suppose the exaggeration of the petitioners and the illegality of their pretensions when the Senawrial committee informs them with the most cynical eflrontery that three steamers arrived at Asun cion from the United States, with a great variety of in- ‘struments of American industry, and that the Society em ployed more than twenty Americans in putting them in rahe Par 4 all the inhabitants of the repab: The Paraguayans, an in| - lic, are witnesses of what this badly named company ii. ito Asuncion. The inventory may be read in Bl Semanario of what they have left in San Antonio, When aid these three steamers arrive with this valuable cargo of useful industrial instruments? Who has seen this innumerable body of Americans engaged in their enterprises? Who has seen these twenty Americans dertined to muke these instruments work? Who bas seen this boop, baacovad of three hundred thourand bard dollars which the company is said to have brought? Why, then, on their arrival did they beg ten thoutand bard dollars from the national treasury to pay the debts with which they came into the republic? To lie 80 barefacediy Lardihood is required; and the mover of this ecandaloug fable has proved that he pos- SeBse6 & great superabundance of audacity. The socailed company is bold enough to say that it constructed wharves, and that it gave a beginning to steam navigation. If it calls wharves ap occagional plank which ii may have placed in the San Antonio brook on rainy days to facilitate the pass ing of the Paraguayan laborers whom it bad in ite ser- vice, it can say that it has constructed wharves; and if it im bavigation the curious movements of the go- of the company, we can assert that this indi the first vebicle of the kind that the Paraguay- aus have seen. The f0-called company adds that it employed a great Dumber of natives.of the country to teach them the methodic operation of manufactures; that when the government gent to close the segar manufactory it had one hundred and forty workers, who made 260,000 sogars per month, and that they would have made a million ofse- gars per month; that the company, at the date of the pe- tition, should have bad fifteen hundred persons in its pay. . Happy accounts! That President Lopez employed the ope- ratiyes of the company ina segar factory in the name of bis son Venancio! Page affirms this gross imposture, but everything finds room in the perversity of this hardy im- postor, : It is great audacity to state in that petition that the re- sults would be not ouly to the bonetit of these operatives, but very directly to augment the riches of Leper. The President of the republic of Paraguay has never thought of augmenting his own fortune with operations of this kind; l® strives with solicitade to increage the treasures of the State, so that these riches might redound to the benefit of the country in general. His conduct is too evi. dent, and his acts sufficiently public for the people to be persuaded of such an absurdity, and to ote slander- ous an imposture against bis well known probity. The committee extended itself to say that the Presi- dent trafiiced in concert with the company to some ex- tent. What we have said respecting the first of itself destroys the second; the same as w sup that the President intended.to induce the employés of the country to leave the service of the company and w enter into theit own. There is more yet. The committee affirms that the same President induced the people of the city to change their conduct, which, until the company excited their zeal and animosity, had treated the Americans with that great kindness which was natural to honorable em. Ployers, and good paymasters and benefactors. Tho documents published in the Semanario—that is to say, the Spontancous and repeated complaints of the le ih its service, and the ditl it districta—against the company and its agent general, give testimony of their bevel ence, and of their boing good paymasters. We bave already aid in our former bumber, that on the 27th of September, 1864, the pacsport and permission to embark which those people solicited were given, aod thatit is a presumption for the aforementioned * *'* # to aseert the contrary- The committeo closed by saying that no necessity will exiet for the use of force, and nevertheless it presents us an armed reclamatory mission of vessels war, and with demands to which, as we have aiready sald, th pte men of the republic of Paraguay never ‘wi accede, The committee dieavows the necessity for the use ot force, but the determination oonciudes, saying: ‘To phe end of adjusting the differences between the United States and the republic of Paraguay, touching the attack of the steamer er Witch and other matters mentioned in the annual mi of the President, he may be, and is, au- thorized for present to adopt such measures, and to employ such force, as in his judgment may be necessary end convenient in case of the refusal of just satisfaction by the government of Paraguay.” The refusal will be consequent on the reclamation, be- cavee we already know how far it extends, and tho natu. ral conrequence is war, For this the republic of Paraguay is found disposed, ANOTHER ATTACK ON THE SENATE AND THE EXPR- DITION—PARAGUAY DIPLOMACY ADMITS ONLY NOTES IN FRENCH.

The assertion 18 somewhat bold, we confess, batit is not the Jess exnet because of this. We shall not be, either, the only ones to comprehend the truth of this proposition; in the very midst of the American Union there are opinions Which are in consonance with our own. One of the New York journals, under the title of “An Unfortunate Per- spective,’ says what follows :— itis nothing more than a mournful observation which is made, when itis said that the Senate of the United States is not now what it wes in former epochs. It is yet resy ected for ite glori- os past, even when tus pisces which in other times the giauts of intellect vecupied are now invaded by pigmies, and, ucfortu: ately for the country, there are found few statesmen who have remained i thia august chamber.

It is uot sirapge that from this extraordinary corpora- tion there sbould bave gone forth the dofaming thought Which at present menaces the republie of Paraguay, We with, before concluding the present arucle, also to make a passing observation on the North American mis- sion which is anvounced, If, as it is already stated, it is Commander Page who is to come beading the invasion, it 18 probable that among many of the pretexts which he brings to provoke us to hostilities, he brings another which he already endeavored to unroil on his last voyage to Varaguay. It is probable, we repeat, that be will per- tist im his purpose of not accompanying his notes in the Exgiisb abguage with atiaualation, which difficulty we ‘il know be had prepared from the moment in which he Projected the bombardment of this city, It 16 kuown that before this unlt discord, Page wrote wm Castilian, and never in heh, pursu- ing the same conrse when be eoenwion to address His Excellency, tho President of tne republic, a8 when he entered into correspondence with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, of all of which the Se- manario bus shown several examples. Who knows if the same thing will not occur with any other ambasesdor who comes instead of Page? If this boppens, it 8 impossible that tbe mimetry aud the mission of the United States can be understood; and thus give Place to the creation of serious difficulties for the want o( an official transiator—with which the government is no. provides—and for the want of a person sufficiently versei in the Engiieb idiom who would and could guarantee its ion. Dipiomatists, in their notes, have special terms which it is proper to express in a manner clear and final, so as to avoid doubts and equivocal interpretations to which the natural character of the English language would rite, particularly for those who have not been born - lishmen. We know that to avoid these inconveniences all the vations of the worid bave adopted, in their diplomatic correspondence, the use of the French language, univer- sally known and studied. Hopkins bimself, when he wag Consul, bad the manners to accompany with @ transiation all the notes which he sept to our minister in the English idiom; and the same thing is done by tho present Consul of the United States We wiil accept, therefore, all notes that come in & practice established in the diplomatic world; ‘8 the doty of the minister of the Uniou who comes to treat with the government of the republic of Paraguay 10 adbere to it. If the North American mission continues ‘0 follow the echool of Page we will believe that bad faith comes preceding the mit in this sense. It is this which we had to add to close these remarks, News from St. Domingo. ARRIVAL OF EX-PRESIDENT BAEZ IN FRANCB—RE- SULT OF THB KLECTIONS—BALDERDASA ABOUT THR UNITED STATES, RTC.

DOMINGO AND THE UNITED STATES—THB IMPOR™ TANT SERVICES OF MONSIEUR REYBAUD BALDER- DASH. [Translated from La Presse of January 8, for the New ‘York HERALD. The United States would like well to rule over the An- tilles, They dream of possessing Cuba, and are endeavor- ing to establish themselves on the island of Hayti, and the Dominican gover pment has up to the present time fa vored their pretensions, It would therefore be in the interest of France, Eog and and Spain to place the island wbolly in the hands of the blacks, whose antipathy for the American Union—protector of slavery—would offer tho most sure guarantecs, Such te the opinion that we set forth in our namber of the 4th of January, La Patrie takes another view of things. Jt bas thesight to do 80; but abe bas sought to sustain that upon positive facts, which is the error com- mitted. We shall prove it:— Weare in « position to establish in a positive manner, says that journal. itint tar trom helvg disposed to enter into nego Untione with the United States. the Dominican feveral times given evidences to the contrary. Kecogaizing the importance of he magnificeut bay of i, the United states mace the offer to the goverument of the Dominican repuduc through General Cazneau to her the sum of ten millions of tranes for he right of establishing there a coal depot aud a careening at Samana. ‘This offer was at once rejected. La Patric adds, that the government of Santana bad not the slightest desire to cove to the Americas avy portion whatever of her territory. ‘This expos tion of the question is nothing but one long error, It will, however, be easy for us to re-establish tbe truth that La Patrie, unsuspoctingly, doubticss, has so singularly changed. In 1854 three American frigates of war, one of which was the sloop-of war Cyane, that bad just bombarded Greytown, appeared in the ronistead of Santo Domingo, which they goon left to go to the bay of Samana, with the openly avowed intention of establishing there a sta. Won for te marine of the United States, and erecting thero a fort. While heey were taking the bearings of the bay, General Cazneau, invested with full powers Trom thease” rican government, entered into negotiations with Santana, President of the Dominican republic, and circulated around him every where gold inabundanco, He bad received the mission to conciude a treaty with the Dominican govern ment, in order to aesure to the United States an im, it Lat pede d Seed or, in other terms, reseion bay, admirably situated for prepar American iba, Porto Rico, and the re- ‘ows, concluded te treaty" there aitfed_ hi aunaaure 8, conc! @ treaty, there xe ia signature, and submitted it to the ratification of the Dominican Con- gress, Our Consul at Port au Prince, M. Maximo Roybaud, an energet! Hc and intelligent man, hastened on receiving this news, ind succeeded inrinfugncing the members of the Congress, who refused the ratification demanded. They were soon given to understand, as M. Paul Dhormoys has well faid m the book that he has just published on Hayti, that if the treaty was accepted tho republic would have to de: fond herself alone against an invasion from Soulouque; and care was also taken jo draw their attention to the overnment bas fous are now known. The: of are drawn from the most au- ‘thentic soarces. The Dominican republic has again fallen ito the avaricious bands of Santana--that man 80 voted to American policy—end are we not warranted dreading a new transaction between bim and the govern- ment of Washington? This apprehension will appear still better | if it be recalled to memory that the revolution of lart year, directed against Baez by Santana and Vaiverde, was ostensibly favored by the United States, who sent to the insurgents the arms and munitions of war that they required. M. Maximo Reybaud took the same view of the situation of affairs as we do He ceased to represent France at Hayti; but being at St Thomas at the time that Santana became again the arbitrator of the destinies of the Dominican repubiic, aad judging, from his extensive experience in the affairs of that conntry, of the new situation of the island by the vic- tory of Santana, he hastened to reach St. Domingo, to en- gage the eople and Santana himself to subiait’ to the Emperor que. Now, Reybaud showed himself, during ail the time of his lengthy mission to Port au Prince, the defender, before and agaiust all, of Dominican independence. ‘The a] nsion that we have expressed could alon» inspire M. Reybaud with such a grave determination. Let dd that the finances of the inican republic are en- vi lirely ruined, tbat the paper mouey of the country has, so to speak, no other value than that even of the paper, aad ‘tbat any loan abroad is materially impossible, Sanwna will not, therefore, be long in finding himself in the pre- cence of terrible embarraesments and inextricable difficul- ies, Now, in such circumstances, will he not naturally be led to negotiate with the United States a new treaty, which would bave the effect of momentarily filling his empty treasury?

The admirers of Piccolomini—and their name is legion— are expecting a great treat in her performance of Nor- ma, in “Don Pasquale,” which she will sing for the first time in America at the Academy of Music on Saturday morning, 12th of February. Several correspondents have suggested that the opera, as it cannot be given after Satur- day, might be ung in the evening also. As it is not ex- acting for the singers, the manager might find his account in complying with this request, The dramatic events of the week have not been of a startling character. Infact, no novelty has beon pro- duced anywhere. With Dan Rice and the horses at Nib- 1o’s; the equestrian drama at the Broadway; the remarka ble, in fact, wonderful Veteran” at Wallack’s; the immor- tal “American Cousin’ at Laura Keene’s, and the incom. prehensible ‘Three Fast Men,” with the jolly sisters Weatern, at the Bowery, the public has, doubtless, been much amused, if not particularly edified. Those who preferred @ more intellectual entertainment have bad plenty of readings. Voila! Mr. H. R. Ball gave a reading of ‘The Lady of Lyons” at Niblo’s Saloon on Friday. Mr. Ball’s metropolitan début was most favorable, and encourages him to a se- cond attempt this evening. Mrs. Kemble’s readings at Dodworth’s Rooms continuo to attract crowded audiences. They will be continued on Monday, Tuesday and Friday of the present week. Mr. and Mrs. George Vandenhof! have commenced 8 se- cond series of Sieir popular eyenings with Shakspere and Dickens, Mine As Me Preenas mer eestes of motes geeroy wis Sr, Goldbeck, the pianist, a soirée, at Lyrique Hail, 765 Broad- way, on Saturday evening. Mr. Robert Stoepel’s ‘Hiawatha”’ is announced for the evening of February 11, at the Academy of Music. There ‘will be full orchestra, solo and choral forces, with ex- peanatory readings from the poem by Mra. Heron Stoepel. Musicians and amateurs praiso Mr. Stoepel’s work very highly. The French theatre, Broadway, opposite the Metropoli- tan Hotel, is progressing well. The interior has been en- tirely remodelled. There is ms spacious parterre, dress circle and second circle, Near the stage, in front of the dress circle on each side, aro three private balcony boxes, and ten more facing the stage in the centre of the circle. The rear of tho second tier is occupied with boxes, @ la Niblo. The theatre will be @ little bijou, and will seat about a thousand per- sons. Important improvements in the stage and in the entrance from Broadway are likewise in progress. The work is well advanced, and the house will probably be F opened about the 14th of February. Mesers, Widdows and Sage are the managers. The announcements at the theatres this evening are as follows m= At the Broadway Mr. Eddy appears as Gisippus, one of his finest parts, and the spectacle of Mazeppa will likewise be performed, At Burton’s theatre Mr. Charles Gayler’s new comedy— “Our Female American Cousin’”’—wili be presented for the first time. Miss Julia Daly will play the character of the Yankee girl abroad. At Iaura Keene’s theatre the “ American Cousin” (Original Jacobs) has reached nearly to ite hundredth consecutive performance. It will be played on every evening during the week, with “Aunt Charlotte’s Maid.”” At Mblo’s Garden the popular circus company of Nixon & Co, announce a grand programme, prominont in which is Dan Rice, who bas already begun to pay the penalties incident to fame by having a Presidential nomi nation at the hands of some newspaper editor down South.

Lopez (the Spanish Smith family) is already upon the frontier, and, according to , is intent upon con- centrating forces thereon. With what object?

We have advices from Port au Prince to the 10th, and from Jeremie to the 12th instant. The news brought by the brig Baltimore from Port au Prince several days since 1s confirmed. ‘The proclamation of the Emperor Faustip, issued before the outbreak, forbidding any conversatiof’ on political ‘matters, seems to have full force here; and although there are rumors of the progress of the revolution in the North and of a rising in some of the neighboring Southern cities, the citizens spare their words on the subject, and when questioned profess entire ignorance. The latest dates re ceived at Jeremie from Port au Prince hint at a strong party in that city opposed to Soalouque. Should the first battle—if there is any battle at all—po against the Empo- ror, there may be a rising in the capital. We have news ‘rom Gonaives to the 6th inst. This is the stronghold of the rebellion, and,.as ove might natu- rally suppose, any news derived from this city would favor the cause of the revolutionigts. Soulouque is at St- Marc, with about 5,000 troops. Geffrard is just be'ow Gonaives, with probably about 12,900 men—various re- ports give from 10,000 to 18,000. Be this as it may, his army is undoubtedly each moment increasing in num. bers. We have seen a person lately from Hayti, who states that he was assured that all the roads leading southward from Plaisance were dotted with bands of men, furnished some with old muskets, some with fowling pieces, and ome with implements originally intended to subdue the earth, but now turned to arms, all wending their way to- wards Gonaives. There is a rumor that the Emperor Soulouque has ship- ped a quantity of valuables on board a government vessel lying at St. Marc, and that should affairs tarn against him he will make his escape, with abundance of pocket money. It has also for several years been taken for granted that the knowing old gentleman has large invest ments in France, sufficient to solace the declining “years of a deposed monarch. We give these as rumors, for what they are worth; they seem probable, but the last may not be true, as is illustrated by the past history of the island, A former ruler, common fame reported, shipped several heavy boxes toa ae country, invoiced as old from. Alt who were intorested In Hayti asserved, aud it was f apitaet believed, that these cases contained gold; yet the shipper of these boxes, whether tuey contained iron or gold, deprived in course of time of his power, died in the most abject poverty. ‘the rey arrest of the family of General Geffrard at Port au Prince is confirmed, and also the arrest of about forty-five suspected persons. {From the Kingston, Jamaica, Standard, Jan. 10.) Information hag reached this city that a revolt had taken place on the north mde of Hayti (from Cape Hayti to St, Marks), anda repuolic imed. Gen. Geffrard, who beld a high position in the capital, has beeu nomi: nated its head, and had left Port-au-Prince for the sceue of bie future operations. His wifo and family, who were left behind, had been areeated and thrown ito prison by the Soulouque; but, from the interference of the French Consul, they were liberated. Tho news bas thrown aray of hope in the bosoms of the unfortunate Haytien refugees who have, for eleven years, found a home under our ion. [From the Tidende of St. Thomas, Jan. 1.] ‘The followivg important communication, addressed by the agent of the Admiralty on board the British steamer Derwent, to the Consul of her British Majesty here, has been given us for publication:— ‘Tue Vice-Consul of her Majesty in Jacmel, having given me notice of an insurrection having broken out in the North of the empire of Hayti, [ believe it to be my duty to send you a copy of the dezpatch of the said zeutieman, which by mail is carried to England. It 1s as follows: — We bave not received at the agent’s office for the mail steamers in Jacmel, the letters to the govern- ment of her Majesty. The ordinary courier, who always brings the said letters from Portau Prince, arrived this night with the iroportant and official news of a rovolation having broken out in the North of the Empire where the population the city of St. Marc included, had prociaimed republic, with General Geffrard as its President, This news came to the Haytien government in the capital on the 24th, and up to the ‘there was no appearance of Sh ete Sarma eres te, Set ing fall tranquillity. jacEL, Dec. 28. A private lotter of January 10, from Port-au-Prince, re- ceived via St. Thomas and Havana, says the Emperor Spulouque had been defeated by General Geffrard, aud the imperial troops were running back upon the city. Soulouque himself was expected every moment, and it ‘was said that Geffrard was only a few leagues in his rear. ‘The writer thinks the contest was nearly ended, and that ina day or two the republic would be in full force. At the time of writing guns were boing fired within hearing of the capital, supposed to be a salute in honor of Getfrard. Letters received at Boston from Jeremie, dated 12th instant, say the Emperor has been compelled to retarn to Port-au-Prince with the rest of his troops, and it is thought that he will soon abdicate. The soldiers of Jere- mie have marched up to Port-au-Prince. Tae people of Jeremie and the adjoining country are aroused, but will remain there. The Empress has advised the Emperor to abdicate. In reply he threatened to shoot-her, but was prevented from doing so by several of his generals, ‘“ He ie in a bad fix, but the lack of military knowledge and dis- cipline of the Haytien people may possibly save him.’ A letter from Gonaives says that the republicans, if they succeed, will re-open to commerce the ports which have been closed for # number of years, and will proba. bly revoke the odious monopoly law.

Coroner Schirmer concluded the inquest yesterday upon vpon the body of Eliza Murphy, the woman who, it is al loged, was boaten to death by her husband, at No. 33 Oak streets on the night of the 27th inst.

Thomas Murphy, the brother of the accused, deposed that there was no quarreling between deceased and her husband on the night in question; neither was deceased beaten by her husband, as was alleged by the previous witnesses; witness went to sicep in the haliway that night, and when he awoke he found deceased lying beside him, apparently as if injured; he ‘ked her up and put her to bed; saw deceased fi'bea the following morning, but noticed nothing unusuai about her appearance; was not pitched into the baliway by his brother Jobn, as testified to by the other witnesses, neither bad he any difficulty with bim. Hannah Murphy deposed that the only fighting she saw on the night in question was between Jobo and Thomas Murphy; that the former was pushed out into the hallway by latier; the deceased was uot in the room at te ime. : Michael J. McCarthy testified to seeing the accused drag his wife out into the yard on the night of the 27th inst. ‘With the conclusion of the last witness's testimony the case was submittedto the jury, who after due delibe- ration rendered the following verdict:—“That the de- ceased, Eliza Murphy, came to her death from iajuries at the bands of ber husband, John Murphy, inflicted on the 27th January, 1860; and we further that Thomas Murphy is an accessory after the fact.’ Upon the rendition of the above verdict Thomas Mur. by, who was in custody asa witness, was brought up Poréxaminauion, waen, in auewer to the usual questions put to bin by the Coroner, he replied as foliows:—= Q What is your pame?

WHAT THE FRENCH SAY. THE POPE'S POWER ORUSHED OUT NEW FRENCH VIEWS OF ITALY. {Tracslated from La Presse, of Jan. 8, for the New Yore The words addressed by the Emperor to Habeer, and which bave oatsed to mean! rites ic rope, have done but little more than apnounce in an emphatic’ man- + ner @ before silent dissatisfaction, the germs of which, already visible in the Congress of Paris, bave extend and are oat oy themselves since tbat time, ‘his dissent extended to several subjects. The ma- jority of the Congress desired the free navigation of the Danube, and had decreed it in privciple. Austria made no objection thereto, but she hastened to conclude with the river States a private treaty, which annulled the effects of the principle prociai |, and whiob she sets forth ag an ollset to the sovereign resolutions of the Congress. France, in harmony with England, Russia, Prussia and Piedmont, insisted, in order that the union of the Dana- Dian pripeipalitres aud the constitution of a really inde- pendent State, under the nominal swzeraineté of the Porte, might put an end to that state of chrouic anarchy which Cesolates tbuse ie tte countries, To Uns Austria wag bit- terly opposed. She excited excessively the vanity of the Porte, and probably the subaiteru cupidiies which profit’ by the liberality of the Hospodar caudidates; she made use of the discootentment which some English stateeman had maoifested over their conception of & too prompt term:nation of the war. *Dar- ing this time ber pubiicisis set jorth a theory, learned uke all German theories, and by virtue of which the Pria- cipalities ought to pertain to Austria, Whiist the theorists protesged the practiciouers acted. The elections, which were to enable the Roumains to exprees to Europe their own aspirat ong, Were fw sified with euch immodesty by the violence o! the Caitakam Vogoridds, devoted to Aus- tra, that it Was necessary to aunul them and do them over again. To day, for the sake of peace, France waived this im- Mediate uuion, and considered Lerself sat.stied that the principle Was established ip the constitution. Austria on this openly revolts against the decisions of Covgress, which to her had only accorded an ineompiete triamph, Austria continues her intrigues in Moldavia, ia Wall especially, and pushes ber audacity even to’ the refusing of the visé of ber consuls to the passports which bear the superscription of the United Provinces, to-day official and recognized by Europe. Italy had equally engaged the attention of the Congress, and, with all the reserve shat the character of this assembly commanded, it was recognized that that country , so beauti- ful, 80 interesting, go un'ortupate, was found ina diequiet- ing situation for Lhe peace of Europe, that the wishes of the populations called for reformations refused by the govern- ments, and that this dissatistaction between the ruiers and the ruled was big with menaces and apprehension for the future. At Venetian Lombardy, Italan in heart and in race, sub- mits with an ever growing repugnauce to the Austrian yoke, there js in the Penwsula another Power apon which ibe influence of the Austrian Cabinet is exercised ina manner vot less prejud.cial—it is the Court of Rome. For a long time the Pope, as temporal sovereign, has governed bis subjects in @ Maduer to prove that fu fact his kingdom not of this world. Finances, administration, justice, Js public instruction, ail i conducted in a narrow and very balelul spirit, subordinating civil and political interests to the interests well or iii understoud of religion—tho result of which i8 that the Pontiical goverument is ‘become a living impossibility. From 1831 Buropean diplo- macy, therein embracing Austria, lavished upon it coun- sels Which have never been listeued to. In 1848, Pius IX., who, in putting himself at the head of the Italiana crusade, Would bave lea on all Italy, forgot that be was sovereign in order to remember only that he was Pope. From that day, it may be said the sovereign for ever cated; he no longer ¢xists of himseit and independent; be is ore than the instrument of those wu, by their protec- 10D, prolong bis artifvial existence.

It is Aus- tria, that did wothiug for the ope, who oaly knows how to make herself listened to by him, France may well gra- tuitously lend her soldiers; Austria, that is paid for her oc- cupation, and who draws every year from an exhausted country eight millious for this , alone inspires friend- ship and conftience.
