LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM ST. DO
MINGO

The brig Almata has arrived at Boston, with
dates from the city of st. Domingo to It'll July. We
learn from the Boston Traveller that the 18th Of
June the Dominican army started from Las Matas
and stopped at Commentator, Dominican post
from thence on the 18th at 6 o'clock, a. M, they
marched in three strong columns-the first under
the command of Gen. F. Allah, to cut off the enc
my's retreat; the second under Lieut.. F. Pimenter;
and the third being artillery with two feldpieces,
to attack on the right, under Gen. Duverge.
At 8 o'clock on the same morning, the third col
umn halted in front of the enemy, forming in order
Of battle, and giving time for the first column to ar
rive and cut off the retreat of the enemy. At ten
O'clock the signal was given and the general attack
commenced. The firing commenced at three differ
ent points at the same time. After battle of about
two hours and well-sustained fire from the enemy,
the Dominican army made furious charge, COM
pletely routing their opponents, who abandoned
four different points which they had previously oc-
cupied Up TO the 3d. the number ascertained TO
be killed amounted to 100 amongst whom were two
officers. Fourteen prisoners were taken--7 officers
surgeon, and 6 non-commissioned officers and
privates Some munitions of war were also seized.
On the Dominican side, were killed and wound
ed; and on the 10th, they were on the march, with
orders to attack village about half days journey
to the westward; but the enemy had fled, and the
place was taken possession Of
An official report of General Duverge, from Las
Caobas under date of June 25th, also states that the
vanguard had taken that place, and were in undis-
puled possession; and that there was news that 1t.
F. Faberas, commander of Ondobale, had attacked
and completely routed the enemy there

The schooner Ataanta arrived yesterday from
Galveston bringing the weekly News" of the 5th
There is nothing particularly new or interesting
The News" is filled with the correspondence be
tween that government and Mexico relative to the
recognition Of Texian Independence. The funera
soiemnitles IN honor Of General jackson cele-
brated on the 4th. The morning was ushered in
by national salute Of % guns, and during the day
the stars and strpea were seen floating from seye-
raj consular Offices in the city, At 10 o'clock pro-
cession marched to the Episcopal Church, where an
effective discourse was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Ea-
ton. In the afternoon there was an grafton appropri
ate TO the anniversary Of American Independence.

The following, from the "Houston Telegraph is
somewhat savage:
"We did not receive a copy Of the propositions
made by our Secretary of State to the Mexican gov
eminent, until Thursday morning We bitterly re-
greet to say that they more disgraceful and dis
honorable TO Texas than we had anticipated. Al
though they dated at Washington on the Brazos
still hope, for the credit of our government, that
they were concluded at Galveston, and that the ex-
ecutive and cabinet knew nothing of them until a
copy was sent by Dr. Smith to Washington. Bet
ter would it have been if the hand that signed them
had been paralyzed ere the dsgraceful act con-
summated."

ANNEXATION MEETING. Z

Pursuant 10 previous call for public meeting
a large concourse of the citizens Of the town anc
county assembled at the courthouse on Tuesday
night, 10 give expression to their gratifed feeling,
at the favorable settlement of this important and in
terestlng question. The common was brilliantly
Illuminated, and the patriotic Joy manifested by the
whole audience rendered the scene in the highest
degree animatng. Mr.. Nicholson, in obedience to
the call Of the meeting, took the stand, and spoke
for thirty or forty minutes upon the grandeur and
sublmty of the event they were then assembled to
celebrate. Two independent nations, by their SOW
eregn will and power uniting their destinies for the
purpose of extending practical freedom, and devel-
oping the rights of man, presented spectacle UNI
paralleled in the history Of the world. Kingdoms
and empires extended their dominions by conquest,
by blood, and carnage. Repubcanism has here
exhibited its superiority, by peaceful triumph OF
It's principles the Vaccinations and intrgues OF
The most powerful sovereigns of Europe.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Nicholson's remarks,
General Trousdale, who was loudly called for,
appeared and spoke for three-quarters of an
hour, with much clearness and force, upon the
happy contamination Of this truly national and
important measure. He was rejoiced to such a
measure rise far above the ordinary issues of the
day, and to the masses of both parties mngling
their congratulations in the contamination of this
American question. He denied that Mexico had any
right to complain, as she had cut herself off from
any claim to the territory of Texas, by proposing TO
treat with her upon the basis Of independence. He
rldicued the idea ola war with Mexico, and thought
the time was not distant when our flag would wave
peacefully over her capital At the conclusion Of
his speech, Mr. Bbo called for; but the
Threatening appearance of storm compelled hin, to
decline the call, and the meeting dispersed.
GEN. SAM. HoUsroN.-This distinguished gentle
man left here few days since, with his family, on
visit to his relations in East Tennessee he viii re-
main there some weeks, and then make his way
homeward through North Alabama. He was de-
tanned in Nashville some time in consequence of the
sickness of his family. The papers announce that
he was elected member of the Texas convention,
now in session. He did not receive any information
of this fact, until it was too late to reach him in
time to take his seat had he, at the date of his
departure from Nashville, received any official notice
of his election.

TrxAs.-ln answer to a correspondent, the New
York News has the.folowing remarks upon the
subject of fugtives from justice in Texas;
"Aiter the completion of all the forms requisite
for the admission of Texas into the Union, any f-
giuve from justice, from any other State, who may
be found there, can undoubtedly be demanded, and
must be given up. who shall flee from justice,
and be found in another State the terms Of the
constitution; and they will perfectly define the posi-
ton Of such criminals. In the argued about,
after fleeing from Justice in one State, they will
have been found in another State, though that State
may have been formed out of territory which, for a
number Of years, has afforded them the secure asy-
um of distance and independent sovereignty. IL
there any such characters left in Texas, after
the period of order and good government which has
succeeded TO its earlier day of disorder and impu-
nifty for fugitive crime il is about time for them to
pull mp their stakes and accompany the star Of en-
pire another stage ON its westward way.
SIN regard to-the eligibility of members of Con-
gress, the question is equally clear. If the requis-
ton of the constitution seven years citizenship
Of The United States NEXT PRECEDING his election, the
young congressional ambitions in our las-born sis
ter State would be cruelty nipped IN the bud. Such,
however, is not the From the terms of the
constitution, a seven years citizenship at any pc
rod anterior to settlement in Texas, will satisfy its
requisiton.
CAS- for the debt and the lands these are important
questions TO be hereafter arranged 10y legislative
The boundary question will be negotiated and set
tied between government and Mexico When
we come to ascertain automatically the true extent
and character of the debt, we shall be able to talk
little more undersandingly on the subject than any
of us can do now Some of those most conversant
with Texas affairs say that the debt bears but
smallproporton to the value of the lands. In that
case, it may be best, and the simplest policy that
our government should buy the lands for the amount
of the debt. But there be practical difficulty
in arranging the matter, the basis of cesson Of
the lands to the United States in trust, for the
plicaton of the proceeds TO the payment of the debt
with which they are now justly chargeabe. After
the extinguishment of that debt the surplus pro-
ceeds, above expenses and compensation for the ex-
ecution of the trust, might go to the benefit of the
Texan States, else be ceded outright to the UnI-
ted States AT any rate, there need not be, and we
are sure there will not be, any assumption of the
debt of Texas by the United States as the wing pa
pers are beginning to charge; unless, possibly, in
the way of fair business transaction by volun-
tary purchase Of her lands by governments
purchase not likely to be made, unless they are
found to be very well worth it, and to contain with
in themselves pretty certain resource for their own
early payment"

FROM HAVANA

The fine brig Empresaro, Captain Collins, ar.
rived here yesterday from Havana, bringing papers
of the 5th instant. There is very little news-noth.
ing from Mexico. The papers contain long details
of destructive fire which occurred in Matanzas on
the Goth ult., by which an immense quantity of
goods were burnt and the richest and finest quarter
of the city was destroyed. A large number OF
people were houseless and destitute in consequence
Subscription lists opened throughout the isl
and and Governor-General O'Donnel had sub
scrbed large sum for the relief of the sufferers.
The Courier of last evening says:
''The sum of "a, 900 in money was stolen at Ha-
vana by young clerk in hat store. He was
found secreted in the Empresaro, unknown to every
body. All the money, except three doubloons
was found upon him, and he was Immediately
lodged in prison. This circumstance delayed the
sailing of the brig for three hours"

An arrival from Texas Yesterday. brings advice!

An arrival from Texas yesterday, brings advices
a few days later II will be seen, in the extracts
copied by us from the Texan papers, that, on the
day of the adjournment of Congress, resolution
was proposed to the House of Representatives, Sc
verey censurng the course of President Jones, and
recommending to the convention, about to assemble,
his removal, and the establishment of government
ad interim, until annexation s complete The mo-
ton failed; but the vote in favor of it was strong
enough TO show IN how suspicious and obnoxious
light the Executive is regarded. II is but too appa-
rent that diplomatic coquetry has been carried con-
siderably beyond the bounds Of discretion or moral
ity The actors in the intrigue may find IT difficult
TO escape the imputation of shameless dissimula-
ton; and against some, the charge of bribery and
treason is already limited OF broadly. We are at q
loss to conjecture upon what ground an attempt will
be made to Justify the policy of dupcity and Of I'M
posture that has been pursued SO long as the ques-
ton ofannexation hung in doubt before the Amerl-
can Congress, the practice of little fnesse with
other governments might have been allowable, rs a
trick of diplomacy, resorcd to for, the purpose Of
stimulating the United States, and making us jeal-
Gus and more eager for the bargain. At such a
time, and under such circumstances, little coquet-
nv might not have been amss; but, after the United
States had consented To annexation and every OBJ
stacle to its contamination had been removed, what
pausble reason or apology be made for offering
The propositions to Mexico which bear the date of
the bgth Of March LAST Ii the Executive were not
sincere what possible motive could there be in ma
king such over,urcs' There could be no intention
to operate on the jealousy Of our government; for
our assent had already been gained. Unless we
reason upon the principle that the Executive was
CAPABLE of acting without motive, the conclusion is
inevitable. that President Jones has, from the begin
ming, been opposed TO annexation If the measure
has succeeded it has been in spite of oil he could do
TO thwart it. Such is the view that will be taken of
his administration and general course of policy, by
every intelligent unprejudiced observer, until
sons and explanations more satisfactory than have
vet been published are furnished to the public

The uRaltimorc American" dedicates another very
supererogatory article to Nh, Polk and a second
term - which with due Difference be it sad contains
very little worthy of notice. The wbig presses may
rest assured, that they make no capital OF this

criticism of the American" that, because Tor

name for a second term, our I" denial now takes
the form Of an individual protest merely" How Of
ten must we repeat, that feel authorized to speak
again and again, in the name Of Mr.. Polk also.
The "American" speculates, that the election OF
Mr. Polk will multiply the number of aspirants for
the presidential chair This effect is exaggerated;
but this good consequence will clearly result from
his election, provided that success should crown
his administration, of which every reasonable hope
is now TO he INDUCED lit will teach the people to de-

who may be ambitious of the office--whethcr they

men as Mr.. Clay to hold back and bide their time,
and wait till the people, to whom the government
belongs shall call any man to serve them IN The

greater he will make it appear is the victory he has
gained. Ii is David with his pebble and his sling

From TExAs.--By the schooner Aidldnia, which
arrived yesterday from Galveston, we have received
the Galveston " News" of the 9Th instant. 1t con-
tains the proceedings of Congress the last day of
the session. We find that Mr.. Mcleod proposed
III the House of Representatives the following reso-
luton, censuring President Jones for his conduct
during the tendency of the negotiations relative to
annexation, and recommending the convention to
establish government ad interim, until the consti-
tuition should go into effect"
Resoped by Housed Of Representatives That the
OF the Executive in relation the question Of annexation
people in their known wish re.une themselves to
the great political family OF the United States and throw
istence be the sport policy hostile to liberty nboth
hemspheres and that he may be enabled to throw fur
matey effect its Defeat to the convention
OF the people of Texas to establish government dd interim
until the constitution Of the state OF shall go into e
feet as being the most certain eaectua and economical
mode of securing annexation TO the Unitedlsatcs"
After reading the resolution, motion was made
to adjourn sine die The Speaker decided that the
House could not adjourn until the resolution was
disposed of. The decision of the Chair was APP
pealed from, and the appeal sustained by vote
of % to H.
An act was passed to continue the old law in re-
lstion to foreign judgments under the State govern
meni and another, making it imperative upon all for
cign banks to produce regular exemplifcatlons OF
their charters, and to show, also, that they have
done no act vi peloic
they can sustain suit against citizen ofthe repub-
lie or state.
The funeral solemnies in honor Of the memory
of General Jackson, were celebrated at Galveston
on the 4th, and were such as showed high degree
of respect for his character and services.
The Despatch, published at Matagorda, of the 2lst
ut, announces the launch of new steamer at that
place, intended for the navigation Of the Colorado.
Her name is the Kate Ward; she is Ito feet keel, "a
feet beam, and is calculated to carry GOO bales of
cotton in three feet of water; her draught, when
launched, was only three inches. She is said to be
the first steamer that has ever foated on the Colo
rado, and her launch was looked upon by the citi-
zens Of Matagorda as an event of no small import
ance. The occasion, the Despatch states, 'was cell
ebrated by the presence of large party of our cit
liens, consisting of the artisan and mechanic, the
planter and merchant, besides many of the young
and beautiful of our country all regarding the sue
cess Of the undertaking the first step towards the
navigation Of our noble river, and which nsures
to us the removal of the raft, which is the only
obstruction from its mouth up to La Grange"
