1T. Domingo and the Cabinet.

Two HlOuths ago, we announced tildt q secret
mission to Faustin l., Emperor DC, of Hayti, had
been sent from Washington three months previous,
by Mr.. Clayton. The secret commissioner was the
Hon. BENZ l.. Green, diplomatist and linguist,
and fully competent to discharge tAe duties ofthat,
or even Of a higher mission.
by ielcgraphic despatch received Yesterday,
from Washington, we learn that The Hon. Com
missioner, Mr.. Green, had returned in a govern
ment vessel, from PoEt-au Prince, which vessel
arrived at Norfolk on the 9th, when Mr.. Green
landed and proceeded at once to Washington, and
presented himself to Mr.. Clayton. Those cum
bersome, slow.moying presses that have doubted
the correctness of he Hyalds sources of nforma-
ton in this particular, Will now be fully awake,
not only 10 the truihfulness of our statements
months ago, but to the great importance of this mis-
sion, viewed in any light. We shall wait with
great anxiety receive the report which Mr.. Green
will make TO the Secretary Of State. We have
strong feais that Mr.. Clayton has made a blunder
in this business.
This government. constituted as il is, can never
recognise any empire, kingdom, or republic of
blacks, directly or indirectly, without insulting
fifteen States Of the confederacy and producing
excitement in the South which could only be al
layed by instantly abandoning such principle
Of recognition. We notice that MIR. Green had
procured the acknowledgment. of consuls
cent to the ports Of llayii, and that hereafter
they shall be treated the same as English, or
the censuls Of other nations. The reason that the
various negro governments Of that island in former
years have refused the privileges TO our consuls
sent thither has been that we would not recognise
their negro government under any form, or receive
any diplomatic agent or consul from it. We hope
Er. Clayton, under the advice of an abolition set
of colleagues, has not given NJ the principle in
der to get a foothod for our consuls. We have our
doubts; and should not be surprised to hear shortly
that black Duke Of Faustin |. is AT Washington,
astonishing the good people by the pure ebony of
his complexion, the brancy his diplomatic uni
form, and the magDiicence of his legation and
aftashGs. This would be followed by a aegro con-
sui at all the Northern and the principal Southern
ports. We have some important Intelligence in re-
gard to all these matters; but we wish to give the
Cabinet the full glory Of all they have done; and il
ihe result Of Mr. Green's missoa is laid before the
public at early day, the Secretary Of State may
do IL in his own way.
The Southern members who have regarded the
former articles Of the Herald in regard to this mis-
sion as Imaginary believing il impossible that so
important a mission connected with the negro ques.
tion could be made by the Cabinet without
that the Hcrud was night, as II always Is; and we
doubt not that Congress will soon call for all the
facts connected with this ncgro mission

Hyald in the early part Of April, We used the fol-
