THE BAY OF SANTANA,

The French government it seems annually
publishes '.by authority Documents upon For
eign Commerce. In the budget for 1853 appears
the following in relation to the Bay of SANTANA ::
1.-THE Bay Of SANTANA might protect whole fleets
Its harbor appears excellent it very SAFE and the lar
gest vessels OF war penetrate to it. A fine MALTA
| ry establishment might be created there.
ut is principally in reference to navigation
that SANTANA is of great value For steamers coming
from Europe the entry of the waters of the Antilles
and of Gulfof Mexico, well the first LANDING
place on the route to Panama. roads indispensable
tor their man@uvres as well as territory which yields
provisions and facilities for the construction of ship wards
and forges SANTANA offers all this and abundant coal
yards besides.
"As the soil ofthe peninsula tits believed that til
is fertile in the whole Island of ST. Domingo
Sugar and coffee plants of the very largest size
are found here. Bananas, sweet potatoes manioc &c.
much cultivated; and fruits generally are produee
in such abundance that the people will sometimes give
as many mangoes horse carry for a single ra-
ton of sea buscut Pine apples grow there larger than
the very biggest loaves ofsugar made.
Thanks to the mountains with which the interior of
the peninsula is covered-some otthem of very great
height-the yield of magnificent wood suited for ship
building purposes Is large, and have said above,
this most desirable sationis enriched by recently dis
covered coal mines
The Paris correspondent of the Republic
thinks the above official details go far to show
that if tho French Government has not actually
seized upon SANTANA, as reported, itat least may
be convicted of very decided hankering after
the zine maritime establishment which mght
be created on the eastern point ofSt. Domingo
But it seems the French have long been familiar
with the advantages afforded by the Bay of Sauna
ma. AS long ago as 1926, the French Minister of
Marine chose the bay for the winter quarters of
the whole squadron ofthe Antilles, and Vice Ad-
miar Duferre collected tn ere for the winter,
division consisting of seven frigates, sloop, and
two brigsof war. Since, then, the French Go
vernment have been so long familiar with the adj
vantages afforded by the bay of SANTANA, and have
failed to make any effort to it, we think it
scarcely probable that Louis Napoleon will at this
ate day incur the hazard of war with this
country to accomplish the purpose of securing n
naval anchorage tho Gulf of Mexico, desr-
BILE as that object may be in maritime point
of view.

FREE NEGROES.

We learn from the Baltimore Sun that two
important bills have been reported in the Penn
sylvania legislature within the last few DAVIS
one to prevent eolored persons from acquiring a
residence in that State; and another to prevent
fugitives from labor in other States, and slaves
manumitted by their masters from settling in
Pennsylvania. We observe also that the Ohio
legislature has before it bill prohibiting free
coored persons from settling or holding property
in that State.
Several of the Northern and Northwestern
States as our readers are aware, have already
adopted measures similar to those now contem-
plated by Pennsylvania and Ohio, and there is
every probability that their example will soon
be followed by the free States generally. 1t may
suit the purposes of Northern fanatics to pirate
about the equality of races and to yield the cheap
tribute of Fictitious sympathy to the supposed
wrongs of the negro of the South, but their own
legislation gives the lie to their professions, and
exposes the hollow hypocrisy of their conduct
They are proluse enough in expressions of friend
ship for the blacks as long as it costs them no.
thing, but no sooner does it become apparent that
the increasing numbers of this class is Xix ely to
prove source of Inconvenience and annoy ance
than their sympathy vanishes, and they are found
resorting to the most extreme measures in order
to keep them at arms length. If the African is
unfit to touch the soil of free State-if he alone
is deemed by the Legislators of the North un-
worthy to enjoy those privileges which they ac-
cord to all the rest of maHkind, how can they
condemn the Southern States for holding him in
bondage? The legislation that excludes negroes
from State is tantamount to an acknowledge
ment that they cannot be safely and wisely put on
footing of political and social equality with the
Whites and that in a state of freedom they are
nuisance. Now the removal of the slave popula-
ton of the South is an admitted mpossibilty
No practicable scheme at least has ever been sue-
gested for accomplishing this object. Under
these circumstances slavery is necessity, and
if we chose to rely on such an argument, we
migh ttriumphantly point to the legislation of the
free States in support of our position. We there
see the noisy advocates ofthe equal rights OF
man--the humane philanthropists who affects to
disregard all distinctions OF caste and color, ma
king special exception against the negro, and
denying him the privilege of setting foot on
| their soil, which they throw open for occupancy
| to all the world beside.

PROBABLE HoMcIDE.--T.ast evening. about
h alf past six o'clock, as Mr.. Edward II. Fuller
was about to enter the National Hotel he was
met by James w. Schaumberg, formerly of the
United States dragons, who, without the ex
change of any words discharged pistol at Mr..
Fuller wounding him severely in the right side.
Mr.. Fuller Immediately rereated into the street.
passing between the hackney carriages, and
crossed to the opposite side of the street
where he fell, and was then conveyed into the
Waverly House. Physicians were Immediately
sent for, and Doctors Hall, Miller and Holmead
were soon in attendance. The wound was pro-
nounced at 10 o'clock last evening to be in all
probability mortal. Mr. Fuller was sensible IN
to that hour, and his family were in attendance
upon him.
Mr.. Schaumberg upon Mr. Fuller retreating,
supposed, we were informed, that his fire had
taken no effect pursued Mr.. Fuller nearly to
the other side of the avenue, when, by the inter-
ference OF bystanders aud Others and upon the
information that Fuller had fallen, he retraced
his steps TO the hotel, and assembled to his ROOM
He was arrested there shortly after by some
officers. Much ndig ton at his conduct was
expressed by the crowd who had congregated at
the doors and in the Office of the hotel.
He was conveyed to the office of B. X Morsell,
esq, at the Attn district police office; and shortly
after the Hon. John p. Hale appeared as ceun-
sell The facts having been detailed, and the
probable death of Mr.. Fuller ascertained
Schaumberg was committed to Jail for further
examination, an offer TO get bail being refused
The immediate cause of this unhappy event
was the appearance of large placards on Mon-
day morning posted in the vicinity of all the no
tells headed ''James w. Schaumberg, Liar,
Coward, and a Swinder," and which contained
statement tending to show and prove Schaum-
berg to be guilty of lying, cowardce, and
swindhng, interspersed with many other oppro-
brious epithets
1t appears that Sehaunberg was indebted to
Mr.. Fuller, and that i'll feeling had existed be-
tween them for u considerable time, and which
on former Occasion, led Schaumberg to make
a publication concerning Fuller, aud Fuller to
make a personal assault on Schaumberg
Mr. Fuller we'll known to our citizens and
to the travelling public. In company with his
father, he was tor long time one OF the proprie-
tors of the CITY Hotel, then of tho Irving House
