FROM HAYTr.

Advices from Port-au-Platte to the 2Sth May
represent that public affairs were in an unsettled
state. The Emperor SoULoUoUE had refused to
acknowledge the independence of the Dominican
republic, and would not agree to an exchange of
prisoners He had threatened the messengers who
went to Portau-Prince to effect the exchange that
unless the Haytien flag was hoisted he would march
against them in October next. Arrangements were
making to meet him on the frontier, under General
Santana with force Of 5000 men. The Domini-
cans are also busy employed repairing their fortif-
cations on the frontier, and are preparing to give
him warm reception.
The Republican Government guaranty to give to
all settlers fifty acres of land, to which they are to
hold indisputable title. Five hundred Germans
were expected osettle at Cape Isabella,
The cultivation of tobacco is much encouraged by
the Dominican Republic, and the new crop was com
ing in fast.

aginary character, raised by silly par
ents 10 lrighten children, but Il ,eritA-
bile buccaneer, who existed about the
year 1868, when, as the commander Of
n privateer, he was som, what ofa ira
der, much more Of a smuggIer, and
mostly pirate; and whose remarkable
abilities so recon me nded him TO the
government that he Was duly commits
stoned, put in command Ot a British
cruiser, and on the principle Of 'setling
thief to catch thief" sent in quest Of
pirates but not being successful in his
search, he concluded TO throw up his
allegiance TO the king, and to hes, him
self the pirates black flag. The I'M
me1se treasures which lie amassed were
undoubtedly buried somewhere in the
neighborhood Of New York many sup
pose at GARDENERS Island, up the East
River Others are of the opinion that he
sunk his vessel. with its untold treas
ures, at Caldwell's Island hence, in
our day, the "Kyd Salvage Company"
was formed to raise the vessel, but
which only resulted in law suits, ami
mosiies, aud bankruptcies to all con-
cerned. Out OF the splendid material
thus afforded him, our author, mingling
truth with fiction, has produced a ro-
nance which, for intensity Of interest,
and vividness of style, has rarely been
equalled- certainly never eIcsIled.-

preachers modesty is equal to his NAL
ice. Ia his discourse. he does little else
than measure the dimensions Of Web
s:er's brain, compute the power Of it's
faculties, and weigh his heart, and even
conscience, in his Abolition scales. He
gloats over the cold corpse with eyes
suilused with stimulated tears, and cuts
up, composedly, the dead subject
with the critical scalpel TO detect every
lesion, or tendency 10 disease or wrong
His post mortem examination is finished
and the 'seraphic doctor is prepared
for judgment. All this has Mr.. Parker
done, and yet lie meekly says, Ht takes
greatness TO see greatness ! but Mr.
Parker has seen and recognised great
nesr. The inference need not be writ
ten. Any man. he adds, can meas
ure a walking stic.-so many hands
wide, and so many nails besldes-but it
takes a mountain intellect TO measure
the Andes and tbeI Al,ai'-in other
words, Daniel Webster but Mr.. Par
ker has spanncd him. The inference
again illustrates The speakers modesty.
Mr.. Theodore Parker evidently thinks
very his hly of the little monosyllable ].
SO constantly vibrating on his tongue.
Mr.. Parker's remarkable love Tor Dam
iel Webster consists in "A Willingness to
defy his intellect for the cake Of damn
ing his soul. That seems To be his
chi,i aim. Having made that bargain
IN Lis own mind, he does not stick 10 ii

,he side of Luciler, Cardinal " olscy,
md Lord Bacon Tor lmmorahy and
mrarness, he iccls that he has been too
generous, aid takes hack EaIi the cred
it he has given him for hlS mind. HIS
intellect was immense. liis understand
ing was exceedingly grear;' but Mr..
Parker is under the necessity Of deny
ing him the great reason We are
sorry he cannot afford that favor; no
doubt lie would, il he i,lt that he could.
MIR. Webster will have to 90 without i'm
agnatiion too for IL cannot assign il to
him." says Theodore Parker, nor any
scholarship neither. That is not the
worst Of il. Webster must 20 down TO
an equality with, # not below, Gid
V.ln
and Garrison! That is the hardest des-
tiny yet ass signed to him, greatest fall OF
all that OF Adam and WoIscy was moth,
ing to il. An association with LuciIer
scarcely worse.
Mr.. Parker sees very little TO approve
in anybody not belonging TO his aboli'
hon clique except, perhaps, in It's very
opposite extremity, South Carolina null
Irication for ''he wishes he could
think Clay Mas as honest rs Calhoun"
His comparison Of Webster with Lord
Chancellor More is cxecrable. Unqucs-
ionably enorm, us wrungs have been
stimulated by bribes. But Mr.. Parker
proves in his own person that injuries
as hagilous may be perpctrHtcd with
out them.
But we have not room for any fur
ther examinations OF this scandalous
production. All that can be Justly said
in It's favor is that under the guise OF
tenderness Tor the departed, it deals 40
nerhyusts throughout that i, vihrates
with venom all along its tedious length,
and, like viper, quivers with malicious
vgor at its very end.-NeVark Adrerii-
