rare treat Of diplomacy will be found in our
columns this morning, in the official correspondence
Of the great powers concerned in late combined
effort to induce the negro Emperor soulouqus
into peace with the Dominican republicans of
the island Of Hsyt The parties in this triple ALI
ance were Great Britain, France, and the United
6tates-our government following modestly in the
wake of the other txo. This precious correspon.
dence, like that on the Cuba question, has been
laid before Congress in pursuance of resolution of
the Houfe of Representatives and if anybody can
read il without admir;ng the pluck of the impudens

Faustin the First then ne mistaken in our

About the time Of this triple alianc, to bring

Walshs il teresting official letters, that his black
majesty was somewhat ambitious Of being crowned
in he city of st Domingo (such it s)he ancient
capital Of the island This object Of the triple alliance
was not only to prevent Soulouque from invading
the territory the Domin leans, but to compel him.
on the other hand, to make peace, aud psrma-
nent peace, with that republic, without the trorble
Of going to war. The consuls of England, France
and the United States we're instructed, in short, if
nothing else would do, to g force the Emperor Sou
louque into q permanent peace with Dominica"

scribe.
This beautiful correspondence at once shows that
we have heretofore been under some misapprehen-
sions with regard to the designs of England and
France II was supposed that they were rather
favorable than otherwise, to the absolute occupation
Of the island by SOulouque; but it appears that the
interests Of trade predominant, and that coffee
and sugar had everything to do with the question
The negotiations did not result, a, it seems in a
permanent peace" but they doubtless were deci-
siye with Soulouque, in suspending, for a season
at least, his aggressive operations against the
Dominicans. The instructions of Sir Henry Bull
wer to the English consul, and Of the French go
vernment to their Hayt ten Consul General Max Ray
baud are curious specimens Of the sort of diplomacy
which is considered the best adapted to an indie
pendent negro government; and Mr. NJ Walsh,
our own special consul in this business plays his
part a. If il were the richest amusement in tho
world, as it certainly appears to have been He
could not find the comforts Of hotel ia the Pc
rial capital Of Hsyt, from which we doubt not there
is splendid opening in that city (such as it s) for
some such enterprisng genius as Downing, with his
oysteIs in every style" Mr. Walsh also gives brief
but graphic description of bis imperial negro majesty
