The Boston Journal publishes the following ex-
tract from letter dated Cape Hayden, April 10
"Therc is now but little doubt that the President
win succeed in subjugang the Spanish part oil The
island. He has captured Azua, and we are daily cy-
pccting TO receive news of tho capture Of ST. Jnqo.
after which st. Domingo will doubtless surrender.
Considerable bodies Of fresh troops pass through
here every week, and think from the energy DIS
played by the President, that he must succeed as he
has very large body of troops In the field flushed
with victory already Obtained. Accounts from Port
au Prince represent very bad state Of feeling to ex-
is there and in the South agains, the foreign whites,
which appears 10 be constantly increasing. This
arises In great degree from their opposition TO the
Government monopoly, Us they naturally refuse TO

Of the receipts of coffee candestnely shipped by
connivance between the Commissioners OF the mo.
nopoly and the Custom House, so that the Govern

Should the reunion Of the two parts of the island
take place, the Cape will derive more benefit from il

paly from its loss Of trade with the Spanish port
