at the llavannab, was actively engaged with this affair,
and there was no doubt that, in consequent? of his zeal
and firmness, our unfortunate countrymen will soon 'be
restored to their afflicted families."

The Tigre left the llavannah on the 3d of March.
The National still publishes long lists of subscrip-
tions to the sword to be presented to Admiral Du-
PETIT THOUARS. The list of Sunday includes a vast
number of "Enemies of England." The sums are
exceedingly small, rarely going above half a franc.
The Three per Cents. remained at 83t. 15c. asked,
and 83f. 20c. offered.

LATER FROM the UNITED STATES.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
One of the most rapid passages ever made across
the Atlantic has just been completed by Captain Burs-
ley and his noble ship Hottinguer. The Hottinguer
left Sandy Hook on the 23d, and made the land in 13
days, when a calm came on and kept her some 36
hours in the Channel without making way. She
brings 2,400 bags of cotton.
When the Hottinguer left the city of New York,
the news by the steam-ship Caledonia had not arrived
at New York from Boston.
This arrival furnishes news from New York five
days later than received by the Montezuma; the
papers are, however, unusually barren of interest to
the European reader.
Commercial matters appear favourable ; in most de-
partments there was considerable activity. Our
New York correspondent states that "the springhas
come upon us suddenly. The North River, as well
as all other rivers in this vicinity, have broken up,
and the steamers are running in every direction.
Our list of arrivals shows a great increase. The hotels
are filled a month earlier than common. • Our
merchants are quite actively engaged. The supply
of goods is large, and the , assortment good. The
transportation from the city, south, is through the
Jersey and Pennsylvania canals ; our own great
Canal will not be open until the 19th of next month.
As the navigation of the Lakes has commenced much
earlier than usual, the amount of goods to be brought
through the Canal will be large."
The cotton market has settled down into regular
business. The stock in New York was never known
to be so large, amounting to above 150,000 bags.
Speculation had ceased, and shipments are made in
the usual course. Holders were keeping cotton.back
till the arrival of the Caledonia.
There bad been a good deal of panic in Wall-
street on the subject of the Texian question, and
a sudden fall of stocks was the consequence. Stock
operators have felt the influence of this sensation in
the fall of stocks. The agitation still continues to
some extent, but it has in some degree subsided. The
Texian and Oregon questions are calculated to have
an effect on mercantile matters;
The rate of exchange on England was 1071 to 108 ;
at the latter price a large business was done for the
Hottinguer. On France the rate was sf. 32c., but
nothing done.
We have nothing new from Canada by this arrival.
IMPORTANT FROM ST. DOMINGO.
CAPE HAYTIEN, MARCH 5.L--It is reported here that
the mayor and municipal officers (seven in number) of
Petite Reviere—a small town in the west, near St.
Marc—were massacred a few days since by the military.
On Sunday week the civil officers of this place received
an anonymous note, threatening them with the sumo
fate, unless they should immediately resign; and they
have consequently closed their • office, and taken down
the national flag. The same has been done by several
other of the municipalities.
The cause of these disturbances is briefly this:—By
the new Constitution the power of the military is greatly
abridged, and that of the civil authorities proportionably
increased; hence the Constitution is unpopular with the
army, which alone has any real power. It is taking
matters into its own hands, and the President, it is said,
secretly favours the design. Many citizens here appear
to think it a mistake to have have effected a revolution—
the chief purpose of which was to reduce the army, and
then to cleat the most successful soldier President.
Whether any more serious difficulties will occur is at
present uncertain. Business goes on as usual. The
brig Rocket, Hardy, of Bostcn, arrived 'on the 26th ult.,
the only arrival since our last, per schooner Baltimore.
LATER FROM HAVANNAH.—We learn from the pa!-
sengers in the barque Hualco, which left Havannah March
Bth, that some of the slaves who had partietated in the
late insurrection at Matanzas, had implicated several of
the planters at .that place, who were arrested by the
authorities and thrown into prison. The brig Danube,
of and from New York, for Matanzas, was totally lost,
on Salt Key, Dog Rock, with the exception of $3,000 in
specie, and a small portion of her cargo, anchors and
cables. The latter had been sold at Havannah. The
crew arrived at Havannah the sth.
STATE OF TRADE.
Asses.—We hear of small sales of pots at $4 50.
Pearls continue very dull at $5.
FLOUR.—This market continues firm. Western, good
barrels, fetch, but not in any quantity, $5 a brl.
Corros.—The market to-day is very inactive, about
700 bales sold in small lots ; about 300 bales taken by
spinners residue for expor: ; prices unsettled. Several
holders are withdrawing their supplies in hopes a more
active demand will follow the arrival of the steamer.
Freights are again dull at id. for square bales, and id.
for round bales.
