I wrote /ou last December a full account of their extra. ordinarily dirty “papelete”’ business, aad of the outra. meoner in which the French and Engtish meu-ef.war used to bully the Dominion government into paying cer- tain Ruropean Consuls four times the lpgal price, and ten times the market value, of the famous Baez issue of “ Pape. Lote.” Of the many antics of political harlequinade with which theee diplomatic geatlomen recreate thomeclves aad the disinterested lookers en, the last and richest was a grand persoual and political row between the Freach Consul and a shirtices little urchin, who was carrying a French flag im the masquerading frelics of the carnival. Faacy the Frenoh Consul standing at his window in New York, watching a party of boy ‘‘fantasticals”’ going by, to seo that nothing in their drees or gestures should ia- fringe on the peace and dignity of the French empire. Famoy an audacious young rascal of ten years old, staggering under tho weight of a large Frenok flag, with o little fieg of his aa. tive land flying ever it, om the same sta‘; then fancy the Conaul going into bysterica at suck an intimation of the young scam p's faith in the superiority of his own country. Sappesing, what ts not probable, however, that the boy had apy idea im the matter beyoed making a show of him- elf, and, finally, imagme the urchin’s surprise at the Consul rusbing out at him and tearing the offeading litte pocket handkerchief flag from its uppor place and casting is imto the stree:| It {s not ciMoult to tmagine the eel promptitute with which your nearest policoman would have collared the impetuous Consul and walked him off t> the station house, to calm bis wrath and prepare an explanation to the ward toagistrate for his umaathorized interference with the eporta of young America. Bat in this free and independent republic of St. Domingo the caso emde in quite avother fashion. Tore the Cogsul calla $9 ea oflicer of the police to take the boy crimimai to prizoo. Th Dominican offictal was #0 thoughtless of Freack supremacy that he veatured to say he oouid not errest and imprison childrem witsout some warrent of Jaw, sud that such requisitions should come from the cognized authoriucs of the country, and uot from a foreiga Coveal. Here was a seoond oriminal, drawing upon bimeelf the thunders of the incensed dignity of France. Toe case be- comer too vast lor the upaided Consul 0! @ siag'e nation. But, ike his great master at home, toe Frenou Conaal is equa! to tho direct emergency. Like him, he cgavencs a copgress of Europeam represestatives to moar the orders and do the werk of Fraace, while they divide among themselves, as beet they may, the responsibility of such @ surrender of their national character. The English and Spaciah Consuls ouealy oe them- selves in tee suite of the representative ‘rance, and sustain his official demands on the Domiaican Cabinet, for the punishment of the boy flag bearer and erring police of- tloer. Tne Cabinet was sorely perplered—they folt, with all the fire and pride of the old Spanish blood, the full mea- sure of this peremptory assault oa their hberties, but they knew that bebind this display of insolemce was a premed: plan for putting their peopic under the heel of the tien negrocs. With hard aiteraative before it, the Dominican gov- erpmest, after a biter debate, and, it is suid, serious dis- sensions in the Cabinet, submitted to necessity. It re- maudea the boy to prison, and dismissed from office the oUending policeman! To crown this with gall aad worm- wood the Cabinet was forced to abase iself before the people by a public salute to the Frerch flag, ordered ani carried out in the most offensive and unpopular manner. ‘The Twenty-seventh of February is, like the American Fourth of July, a matioval festival day, and is always ce- lebrated with enthusiasm. On that day the Dommicanus threw off the yoke of Hayti, and at ome bold and prillians dash drove the negre garrieon out of their capital. ‘That was the day chosen by the forsiga Consuls to make the humiistion mere eharp aad complete. All the public places and all the vessels in the harbor of - St. Dominge were dreesed with flags, and the whole population was keeping holiday, when, suddeniy, at the most commanding point, the French flag was seen to rige above the Dominican to the highest poiat of houor, when it received a formal salute of twenty-one guns. ‘This was done ostentatiously in the face of the murmuring crowd, who bad assembied to celebrate their national ia- depeadence, whiclf they were thus abruptly informed was anything but real. officer charged with firing the salute tore off his epaulettes and threw up his commission rather than wake ij; but bis superior told him thet when ‘the very Ife of the republic was at stake, it was the duty of all her soos to suffer and tossorifice, as well as to fight for her salvation.” And he stood by silently, bat pale with rage, while the humiliating task was boing’ performed. Toe people here all know the inside meaning of this sumotion of supreme authority. There is a ooalition of the French, Spanish and English diplomats, to force this republic, nelens vol-ns, into the swarthy embrace of Hayti, and for the jollewing reasons:— 1. England te determined not te permit white emigra. tion to this ialand—just as sbe offers every obstacle to the incresce of whites ia her own Weet India colouies—ia orzer to stop the course of Americam progress im the 2 Spain wants to keep out the Yankees, for they might be troublesume 0 near Cuba, whila the worthless negro vagabords of Way ti could do mo mischief for the present; ano as long as they can have their cigariins and cock fights the Spaniards of to-day cere nothing for any future deluge of blood and vegro inaurrection which tao slave trace is preparing for their children. 3. France wants the mortgage for the 100,000, which she holds on Hayti, to be extended se ag the whole wland. Louis Napo'con is not tho man to mako two bites of a berry, nor yet to gather his fruit before it is ripe. Ho is willing to accommodate his aliies by Africauizing the whole isiand, and then ho may take it all for his devs. He can make? a flue paying colony by the intro faction of coolie iabor, and the present Chinese war, or (he mext Foglish war in India, will supply a mililon of raw material at pext t pothing a head, landed op this soil. Yet all this * soft sawder’’ about cheap labor to win over the riob, and this parade of European supremacy to awe the common c asses, is not teaching this people doci- lity. It Je, on the contrary, rather curing them of their habitual reverence for the power and glory of Europe ‘They have learned that the Ministers of the greatest of the European Powers dare not play these high fantastic tricks ja the streets of the meanest town of the United States. This ia public talk im every sbop ani store in Si. Domingo. Even the women tell the Buropean resideus how the English Minister (Crampton) was sent homs with out ceremony, when he was caught interfering with tas laws of the United States. “ Give us plenty of Americana here,” say all the liboral Dominicans, ‘and then these foreiga consuls will soot find out they are not masters of everything im th's coun. try.” To this I say amen, for thore nevor was a finer country by nature, ror one in which smart American farmers and mechanics could do better for themselves. 82.
