ARRIVAL OF DR.. GARDINER.
SPECIAL MISSION 10 SANTA ANA,
&C., &c, &c.

&C.. &c, uN.
The steamer Black Warrior, r. w Shufeldt
U.S N, commander, arrived yesterday noon from
Mobile and Havana. She left Mobile bar on the 10th
inst at p. NJ, and Havana at meridian on the 18th.
There was nothing Of apparent importance trans.
prng at Havana, but under the surface there Is SUI
6cient to reflect upon. The small pox. which had
prevailed to some extent, was fast disappearing, and
but few new cases were reported.
The English steamer Trent, from Vera Cruz. ar
rived at Havana ON the 10th inst having on board
the commissioners sent to Mexico to investigate
the Gardiner claim. They left, As before stated in
the HERALD, on the 18th, for Charleston. in the
steamer Isabel. DIR. Gardiner came on with them
and has arrived here in the Black Warrior.
Two Mexican gentlemen also arrived at Havana
in the Trent on their way to Jamaica. with the in
tention it is said, of endeayoring to prevail on Gems
santa Anna to return to Mexico. Santa Anna how
ever, Is, we believe, at Carthagcna and DOT at ia
maica.
The Diario dc Ia Marina, of the sth OF January
informs US that her Catholic Majesty steamship lsa
bella ii. had returned to Havana from st. Domingo,
whittier she had gone on public business. The effect
produced among the inhabitants of that ancient
NpshuAcA pOootoolou a. Vi
is said to have been very great since the inhabitants
rckoned upon that circumstance as proof Of the sin
certy with which political relations to be estab
lished with Spain. The Diario reproduccs an article
from the Dominican organ in which it Is stated that
the steamship had to that port by the special
directions of the authorities of Cuba, to manifest to
Senior Baez President of the republic the sentiments
of esteem which they preserved towards true Span
iards. and which they could do no less than revive
on seeing the spontaneity with which the govern
ment of the republic had assisted the shipwrecked
unfortunates Of the brig Moinero. The Diorio then
proceeds to give brief idea Of the situation OF that
interesting country from which we translate:-
The most complete tranquility reigns in it, without
any sign, yet, Of hostilities on the part OF its
neighbors, and the past elections have terminated
quietly by the unanimous election to the Presidency
Cd Gen. Santana, the candidate supported by the
existing government and in whose energy is reposed
great confidence in every contingency. It scarcely
necessary to mention the absolute falsity of the
mors which have circulated in the United States,
respecting the occupation Of SANTANA by the French
naval although, to the cesson Of this little
territory thatwould be nothngstrange accomplished
as it would be- with the voluntary consent Of the Do
mnicans. and for mutual advantage Still. it is very
pleasing to be able to deSounce falsehood invented
by some persons seeking to gloss over by foreign
example other plans Of more wicked kind. The
conservative action OF Europe on the destnies OF
America--that action TO which all demagogues have
to humble themselves shows itself more pure and
sautary whilst at the time. it keeps Itself most
ds;nterested in simple appearances.
But the most interesting part OF the advices re
ceiyed to-day from ST. Domingo consists in the com
plete disappointment with which the plans OF masked
t;Vibustero annexation have been crowned. If the
spanish inhabitants of that perhaps 700 little
cautious of the repeated receptions Ieacticed upon
them by foreigners-had even consented willingly to
the admission Of colonsts because they looked on
them as friends, their general ngratude would have
awakened and made to rule in all breasts the know
edge of the true tendencies OF Mr.. Duff Green and
his followers; neither would the adYenturers have
trod upon the soil OF It. Domingo nor would they
have probably venured TO touch IT, TO experience the
unanimous and desperate resistance which would
await them.
The Dominican government, on it, part gives as
surance that. recognizing already the true spirit Of
their situation and strengthened by the moral sup
port of foreign powers il Is occupied IN debating
measures suited to the requirements OF the case.
Among these measures figures, il il said, an abo-
ltion OF the decree for admitting AngloAmelican
colonsts or such modification OF is conditions as
is sufficient to dispel every danger; whilst at the
same time il is certain that Dominican ship OF war
il preparing to sail for the United States which viii
be the official bearer of such proper decree.
