Fro m St. Do,ingo.-Extract Of a letter
dated Jacquerel. March q, received per
Haytien brig te-Union:-
"You wiihave heard before this OF the
accession of re Spanish part of this island
to the Reptile OF Hayti, and have 10
add. that rom the mild and honorable
manner viii which it has been conducted
and brouet about by this government,

Owing to- the appearance OF some
Frenh vessels Of war in the vicinity of
Samoa, the President, about 8 weeks |
sine, ordered an Embargo 20 be laid upon !
all ,re,gn vesssls, till the intention Of the
Frlch men OF war were better known.
It's, however, generally believed, that
tEse vessels had no other object than to
ID some French settlers who were former
from this port, and who perhaps appre-
ended, or made it pretext of danger to
yet off with their effects and slaves. They,
however, were defeated in the enterprise
by the promptness of the Presidents
measures, and it is supposed the affair
will end without any further occurrence,
and that the embargo act will be rescind-
ed upon the receipt of the FIRST dispatches
rom his excelency the President, who's
now at the Cape.'
