Mr. Bassett resides @bout a mile and a half outside of the city. THE FEELING ON ANNBXATION. There was quite an excitement in the city upon the arrival of the Tennessee, various rumors having been started as to the object of the Commissioners 4m visiting the piace. A strong revolutionary feeling @Xists against the present government, and the oc- casion was made use of to represent that President Sazet was conniving for the sale of his country to the Americans, whom they appear to hate bitterly, notwithstanding Senator Sumner’s pathetic appeal in their behalf, There is, wichout question, a stroug Opposition here among a certain party to the annex ation, nut only of the Haytien but of the Dominican rtion of the isiand; but Lhave been approached vy individuals Who, Without any questioning on my part, have voluntarily informed me that the mass | ‘of the peovle who are not immediately connecied | with the government are heartily desiring annexa- | tion, As, however, our mission here 1s not to ques- | Uon them on the subject, there 1s much doubt as to | th. feelings of the inajority. There has been some | manifesialion on the streets azainst us, and daring j a visit oi Mr, Wade and Dr. Howe at the Consui’s there was a sham serenade, which was insulting in its meaning. No notice was taken of it, however. Dr. Howe, in his dyspeptic restlessness, determined to travel into the inter.or, having heard that the old boundary jine between the French and Spanish Portions of the island was distinctly marked by a series of stones set in the ground having iuscrip- ons upon them ort, the course and location of the adjoining stones, These wonderiul stones (he Doctor was bent upon examining, notwithstandiuz ‘the protestations of Mr. Wade that he had ire busi- mess to go prytig tuto the internal affairs of the verninent, and that the Commission had no au- nority to Make any inquiries here relative to their resources, &c. But the Doctor arranged a journey inland, including a yisit to Jacmel, a town of some importance. on the southern coast. Of course the friendly land of Sunner’s eulogies would offer no objections to such a whim, but would ald hin with ali their power. Relying thus upon the honorable Seuator’s astute stutements about our sister repub- Me, the worthy Doctor presented a verbal reqnest, through Minisier Basse't, to President Saget, for the proper permission and assistance, when, behold ! the answer ts in the negative, the permission 1s re- fused and the restiess inind 1s compelled vw chare under the restraint. I fear jor his friend, Mr. Sumner, when he reaches the United States, tor his feelings are becoming quiie antagonistic to the spirit of the remar’s of the philosophic orator. VISIT OF THE COMMISSIONERS TO PRESIDEN’ SAGET. Jt was arranged that on Saturday afternoon the | Commissioners would pay a formal visit to Presi- dent Saget. According, about four o’clock, the two Commissioners, Wade and Howe, accompanied by their secretaries and stenographers, were recelved much pomp and military ceremony by the syble dignitary end held their pow-wow. The | President is quite dark, with a high forehead and commanding presence. He was surrounded by his Cabinet and a large number of other officials. After the usual hand shaking Commissioner Wade aduressed the President as folidws:— touching the state and condition of the Dominican republi with a view to more mtimate relutions between the tw republics than have heretofore existed, and havig per- formed that duty we were reluctant to leave this beauticul fsiand without doing ourselves the houor of calling and pay- Ing our respects to the President of the Haytien repuvitc, and we desire to expreas our hope that the same friendly and mmicable relations that have so long animated the people of oth nations may long coutinue. ‘in doing this we but express the sincere sentiments of the President and people or the United Statei After a short interval, during which the re- marks of Mr. Wace were being itervreted, tue President rose to respond. He evinced great agitation, hardly appearlag to know how to frame his remarks so as to sult the Commissioners and his own people at the same time. As he would utter a sentence he would ask his counsellors whether they | reed with him, to which tbe response being favor- able, he gradually warmed up and spoke more fiwenuy and earnestly, His remarks were to the effect that he was gratified at seeing the Commis- Bioners, but spoke of the disturbed condition of his country, and intimated that the Tennessee's arrival had created much excitement and complicated mat- ters with him, He did not enter, however, into any explanations, aud throughout spoke in a vague and | startled manner, At the close of his address he | seized Mr. Wade by both hands and launched into a profuse dose of Freaci, which, no doubt, pleased the old Senator, although he could not understand a word of it, Finally he led tiie way into an adjoin- ing room, where an ample amount of champagne Was served, and where complimentary toasts wound up te occasion, The President was invited to visit the Teunessee, after which the Commission de- parted, THE HORNET AND HER CONSORT. Lying close in shore 1s the famous eteamer Hornet, which was seized at Wilmington some menths ago by the United States authorities under ‘ihe clarge of being a Cuban privateer. She aiter- ‘Wards was released, nothing being discovered which would tend to. prove the charge. She then salled from New York under command of Captain Hudson, who was 1n our navy during the rebellion, and dur- ang the Parts Exposition became notorious for having ied from New York to Havre iu the Red, White and blue, @ boat sixteen feet long. After conside- rable difliculty the Hornet landed @ cargo of arms on the Cubai coast, aud made her way to the place where spe bas been blockaded by a Spanish man-of- war, the Pizarro, for several weeks. As Captain Hudson has not violated any neutrality law, being simply @ merchantman under American colors, with American papers properly cleared, he has appealed to Captain Temple ior protection. The Spanish cap- tain has endeavored several times tu capture him oud nis men in this port, and has written a letter to Minister Bassett stating his intention to treat Cap- tain Hudson and is men as pirates, and to h them if caught, Under the circumstances Ci in Temple cannot do otherwise than afferd hum every protection, and is waiting for a copy of the Spanish captain’s letter in order to determine what shall be done.

On Saturday evening we ived @ visit from Minister Bassett and Consul Conard with their wives. ‘The captain of the Spanish gunboat came alongside about the same time, and had an opportunity of witnessing the proceedings, The vessel was placed in apple-ple order, tle com- panionways were drapi with American flags, everyihing im the metal line shone with unusual brilliavey, and the vessel looked all that the most scrupuious sailor could demand.

While Commissioner Howe was examining the jayilew prisoners tu Azua, who had bee. captured he troops of Baez, a happy thought entered his He | Many rumors were prevalent as to the mit him to actually go through. Yesterday, how- ever, the 6th inst., Information was received on board the Tennessee that a messenger had made his appearance at the Haytlen lines, bearing a despatch from Cabral, and a courier had immediately been sent from this place for instruction as to whether the letter should be received, The Commissioners were iniormed by the Haytien authorities that, as tween the contending forces in tue Dominican por- tion of the Island, they wouid only allow the mes- senger to come through their territory at the re- quest of the Commission, and then to be received on the vessel, Dr, Howe immediately made prepara- Uons for uccepting the messenger and endeayorin} to see Cabral if possible, but Mr. Wade considers that the proper Course was to treat him as an out- law aud a cutthroat, and not to have any dealings with nim. ‘The Doctor, however, went ashore, where he remained until nine o’clock in the even- ng. The result has not yet been made known, THE VIEWS OF THE COMMISSIONERS. Without douot Ben Wade is strongly in favor of apnexa‘ion, having beceme convinced of the strong and unanimous desire on the part of the people for it. He 1s less impressed with the vast resources of the island and its salubrious and delightful climate, He is, therefore, preparing his report to present to Congress immediately upon thetr-arrival in Wash- lnogton. Commissioner Howe, the particular friend of Senator Sumner, and who was sent out to repre- sent that gentleman’s views, has also become so thoroughly in favor of annexation that he, too, is anxious to have the report prepared to present to Congress Without delay. ‘fhe other day the Doctor became so enthusiastic on the subject that he slapped Wade on the shoulder and assured him that | he would unite with him in everything. Professor White bas been violently opposed to the whole scheme fromthe beginning. He is now, however, journeying overland from St. Domingo city to Puerto Plata, aud is not expected to reach here until about the 12th inst. Whether his views will then have undergone any change is to be determined, but if he ‘retains the same views with which he started he will be compelled to make out a separate report. Whether this Commis- sion will exercise any influence upon Congress or the peopie of the United States upon the question of annexation | will not pretend tosay; but there is no doubt now of the report being favorable to it, and, further, that it will defend and exonerate President Grant from all complicity in any job or arrange- ment by which he or any of his {riends will receive any bevefit. OUR DETENTION AT PORT AU PRINCE. ‘We shall probably be detatued at this place until about the 12tn inst., idiy waiting for Professor White to come around from Puerto Plata on the NantasKet. There is nothing to be done here to aid the work of the Commission, and Mr, Wade 1s chaf- Ar at the provoking delay. There was no need at ail for Professor White to have made the trip, as Proiessor Blake, with a large party of scientific men, had already preceded him over the same rdéute; but the idea seems to prevail on the part of some of the Commis:ion that they can Givert the purpose of the expe:lition to the visiting of different portiens of the country for their own gratification, as well as to procure specimens of natural history for tae benetit of Cornell University. Would it not be well to demand of some of these enterpris- ing men of science that all tiese collections should be turned over to the Smithsonian lustitute or some other national Lo! gocsng Owing to this unnecessary delay we shail not be able to leave Port au Prince until about the 18th or 14th inst.; we shail then run over to Key West to coal, stopping a few hours at Santiago de Cuba on the way. li will require about three days to coal, and it will probably be well on towards the drst of April before we return home, LATEST AND HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM CABRAI. Just as the steamer 1s about to start I learn that positive information has been received as to the position of Cabral and ocher matters of the highest importance. A Haytien named Dupont, it appears, confesses to have been the man who was in Wasuington and, py false documents and still falser statements, misied and deceived Mr. Sumner as to the status of Cabral aud as to affairs generally on the island. He boasts | of his success and nas been highly honored by the Haytiens for his grand explott. Parties have aiso appeared before the Commission who assert that the war on the Haytien frontier aginst Dominica, whils conducted in the name of Cabral, is really a Haj tien war, and that Cabral 1s a prisoner tn their hands, perfectly helpless, It 1s even expected tiat Cabral is now seeking refuge on board the Tennessee, and will claim pro- tection against nis liaytien persecutors, Parties have had secret tuterviews with Dr. Howe, who as- sert this to be the positive condition of affurs. Mr. Wade has long regarded Cabral as a mere desperado, doiug the bidding of Hayti and will, on the first opportunity, tell the Haytien authorities that they will be held responsible for any past or | future depredations on St, Domingo while tuese negollations are progressing. ‘the parties who have made secret statements to the Cominissioners state that Cabral 1s strongly in favor of annexation, but dares not avow his views, or even seem to withdraw from the border move- ments, as his life would be mm danger on either side Ol the line. They also assert that the recent pro- clamations purporting to have been issued by Cabral, denouncing the Commission and the Ameri- cans, were wriiten and printed in Port au Prince, Without the Knowledge of Cabral, and will be wholly repudiated by him whenever he can secure his personal safety. Dr. Howe ts now on shore expecting to hear from Cabral, if not have @ personal interview with him, while Mr. Wade persists in regarding him as a bandit ated by the | the side of civility to these Haytiens, Haytien autherities toward not only the Commis- | the case of St, Negotia!ing for the acquisition of the largest part , qhout to sail around the Mole of St, Nicholas and | from another and a rival Power, this toast or excla- mation of Mr. Bassett’s was going a long way on | | THE COMMISSIONERS IN HAYTI.

YOUR CORRESPONDENT VISITS 8AGET. The day after the Commissioners had an interview With the President your correspondent had one With him and his Cabinet by special appointment, Saget 1s a simple, plain old man, about three parts negro, His remarks, a8 well as those of Mr. Lor- Guet, the Secretary of State, who 1s a light mulatto, Were translated by General La Motte, a full-blooded’ energetic old negro, who has occupied formerly high Cueluet positions, The tenor of ull that was said Was 1D opposition to annexation and in comp!aining of the threatening atittude of the United States to- ward Hayti since the questi has been pending. I was told, as [had heard frequently tn st. Domin- go, that Baez held bis power oaly through the sup- port of the American government, and inat if left to | imself he would ve deposed before six months ex- pired. President Saget assured me that the Haytien Government is not assisting Cabral or Luveron to Make war on Baez, ani that Cabral is under no re- straint imposed by the Haytiens, This may cr may not be 80, for have as little faith in any- thing these Haytiens tell me as in what the Dominicans say, I mention tt because the Com- inissioners seem determined to fx the blame of the civil war in St. Domingo, right or Wrong, upon the Haytiens or Haytien authorities. They seem to be repuring the way for that “dance of blood” which r. Sumner prophesied by a bitter hostility te Hayti. This feeling Was adroitly fanned to a littie fame by Baez, who hail the sagacity tosee that he had ob- tained the confidence of the Commissioners, and pa: ana of Mr. Wade While we were at Azua he pretended to have capiured persons with tne Haytien | Uniform on or Haytien arms in their hands, aud from this argued the complicity of the Haytien gov- ernment. ‘Though I think it quite likely Haytiens or men with Haytien arms might be found in such a war on the border, or tha:tue Haytien government | might not be unwilllg to aid the Cabral. | ists, I am satisfied tie whole thing was | manufactured by the cuming of Baez to throw dust in the eyes ef the Conmissioners and to ex- cite a strong feeling against Fayt. President Saget and nis offictals expressed the mighest regard ior the great pepaniic: of America and hoped it would continue to be the guardian and guide of the other republics of this hemisphere, but wished to main- tain their own independence, and did not wish to see St. Dominge annexed, because that might lead to trouble or their extinction as 4 people.

Itis Baba one Mr. White was not in favor of annexation, though he may be when he returns, and this action of the other two Commissioners seems to indicate a purpose to force him into their view or to overrule him. Mr. Wade has been from the first in favor of annexation, not only on account of his strong manifest destiny ideas and sympathy for the unfortunate Domincians, but be- cause he sees In this an important political measure ud issue for tle radical party and the ad. ministration. Dr. Howe 18 simply a philanthropic theorist, and has become aa annexationist because his pity has been excited for the poor degraded colored people of St. Domingo. He would like, however, to go with the current of public opin- jon and secure popularity for the part he takes in this question, He belleves, to that end by joining Mr. Wade. Mr. White ts more ambitious, perhaps, and more of a politician of jhe wily Seward school, and may want to see hov the current ts Itkety to run before ne takes any | postive ground, As to the correspundents, they are | heutly all radicals and supporters of the adminis- tration and the annexulioa scheme. ‘They have beea and are preparing to give a tremendous bugie blast for the measure, aud expect to bring down the ant-annexationists—Sumuer and all the rest—as surely as the walis of Jericho fell at the sound ot the rans? horns of the Israelites, Mr. Wade feels cont- dent that annexation could have been carried threugh Congress had the Tennessee returned before the close of February, as he expected she would; ard he is greatly annoyed at his brother Commis- sidners for causing the delay. He hopes annexation may still be carried, but has some little fear. He Yegards delay somewhat dangerous. At all events this St. Domingo business will afford plenty of ma- terhl for discussion and political sparring. If Hayti and the cunning dodges of Bsez 1 may men- tion that Dr. Howe was persuaded, while we were at Azua, to send one of these so-called de- serting or captured Haytiens on a mission to Cabral, beans an interview with him, either on the border or at Port. a Prince, Iunderstand Dr. Howe gave the fellov flgnty dollars to carry him through—a larger sem than he had ever handled, probably, before, ando which he would have promised, no doubt, to hive undertaken any enterprise. It is sald ameasage come, through the ifaytien government, from Cabi in response to tis, and that the Dominican chi nay come to Port au Prince and visit the Comm\ sloners on board the Tennessee, I doubt it vel much, The whole thing looks like an ingen ous humbug, and very much after the Quixotic man ner in which Dr, Howe generally acts. A good deal of bad feeling exists on the part of the Commission because some of them had made application to the Haytien government for permission to go to the in- terior to interview Cabral and were refused. It was stupid to ask permission in the first instance, as every one can travel in thiscountry when and where he may please. But when the government was asked it cousidered it might be heli responsible for the safety of those who might go, and that in the case of accident serious consequences would follow. the refusal of the Haytien government was put on this ground, though I think there was no disposition to favor he Wish of the Gommicsion. Notwithstand ing this refusal General Sigel has been riding all over the country to spy out the Jand., Nothing but the yellow fever would stop hun. He is our Don Quixote No. 2. THE COMMISSIONERS DON'T GET SATISFACTION. I do not think the Commissioners are likely to get much satisiaction relative to the object of their mis+ sion to Haytl, They came ostensibly to dnd out the feeling of the Haytiens as to the annexation of Si Domingo, what the debt is, if any, which Hay claims of her sister republic, and what 1s the bound ary line claimed by tne Haytien government. With regard to the feeling of the Haytiens relative to the annexation of their neigubor there 1s no doubt, as I have already sald, Itis hostile. As to the bound- ary, Hayti claims a right to the whole island; but as this is not likely to be established, she will probably make a stand for a line giving much more territory than the Dominicans admit belongs to her. Of course, if the United States goveriment takes St. Doiningo, it can fix the boundary where it may wish; wut that might lead to trouble with such a turbulent people, and in such an inaccessible imoun- tainous country through which the border line runs. I suppose the Haytiens would try to Make out a claim upon st. Domingo for a H portion of the old debts, though nothing has been said about that for years and though it might be diiticult to make out a plausible account of such debts, In any case they will not fail to inrow every obstacle in the way Of annexation, or if that takes lace to make as much out of it as possidle. Old n Wade is indifferent as to what the Haytiens may claim or do, and does not think it worth the trouble to ask them any questions whatever, ‘A BRIGHT SPO, In speaking of this miserable place I ought to Nave mentioned one exception—one bright spot on the gloomy picture, That is the house of Mr. Co- nard, the American Consul, and of Captain Cutts, the agent of the New York and Port au Prince steam- cattle thief, and thinks him a willing tcol in the hauds of the Haytiens.

The new and beautiful schooner yacht Wanderer, the property of Mr. Louis Lorillard, was success folly launched on the afternoon of the 15th inst. from the shipyard of Mr. Thomas Stack, at Green- point. The dimensions of this elegant craft, that ts destined to play an important part in the move- ments of our yacht squadrons in the future, are ag follows:—She is at the water line 105 feet long, but @n overhanging stern adds at least 12 or 15 feet to her length on deck, Her greatest beam is 23 feet; her depth of hold only 834 feet, being a centre-board vessel, Her spread of canvas will be very great, her masts measuring 83 and 86 feet; her bowsprit and jibboom are in one, and measure together 37 feet outside the knightneads. Her main boom is 65 feet long and main gaf 24 feet; fore boom sh feet and fore gait 22 feet long. The mgging Is aii of wire and ts very nearly fitte The Wanderer has fine, flush deck and very roomy. Her companion ways, hatcnes, bitts and other deck fittings are of mahogany, and all are finished =. substantially and in periect taste. The in- ernal arrangements are roomy, and everything las been done to make her cabins comfortable. They are finished with elegance, but yet there is no superfuous gingerbreat work about them. The owner, who undersiands such matters, has evi- dently had an eye to all the requirements of a yacht, and las omitted none of them. Strengih, durability, neatness and elegance are all tere, and if comiort and conventeuce are found on board of any vessel they will be on the Wanderer, Mr. Lorillard will have his vessel fitted for sea With all possibie despatch, and she will be in readi- ness for the first of the coming season, destined, no doubt, to be the most brililaut in our yachtiag pis. tory. The great quesuon of centre-boa keel ls to have @ practical solution, and as the Wanderer is one of the former ciass much anxiety is felt by those who advocate her plan of construction. regarding her performance. There is no doubt of her doing well. She must be fast; there is nothing to prevent her being so, and itis to be hoped that in every respect she will be all that her owner hopes and wishes. She will be a great addition to our fleet of beautiful yachts, and will, no doubt, excite Much attention and admiration, tor sie “sits the $59,000 Damages Claimed. Before Judge Gilvert.
