The mail packet from st. Thomas brought to ST. Do

French and English forces and great the Joy and
loud the boastiug thereupon.
Mr.. Maxine Raybaud, the French Charge DAT
fairs at the Haytien court, came here to forbid
any treaty whatever with the United States, which
he says england and France will not permit"
This to simple Yankee, looks good deal like "Euro

hope that they would thereby be able to pay their debt

These European Consuls will chafe nightly at seeing
all their fine plans frustrated by this treaty with the
United States.
But to return to the sebastopol These French
and English diplomats in their ntoxicaton forgot that
Sebastopol only extreme of the Russian

siih the United States.
As Hayti is known to have party and even press,
in the United States they may seek to deny the facts
stated in my last letter, namely that NJ Raybaud, the
representative Of France and Hay at this capital has
forced the Dominican government to destroy the liberty
Of the press and also prevented the treaty with the
United States.
Now, desire to state some facts which will prove
correct.
saw in the NEW YORK HERALD OF February last, an
interesting Of French democratic celebration
Of the sixth anniversary Of the French republic with
the Devices toasts, &c; which description copied in
my paper, FL Orden. n. Rsybaud made very naughty
complaints that this disrespect to his imperial
master and that the administration responsible for

President Santana therefore withdrew the privilege,
and stopped the Orden. ruined but, feeling the
delicacy of President Santanas position was silent
Again, in October last, with two Of my Dominican
friends began another weekly psper-EI Porpenr--for
which, we had not yet the machinery necessary

We firmly resolved TO speak Of European affairs
with extreme in order that this French dictator
should not have field to reproach the government for
our freedom Of speechprosposng to condne edito
rial observations carefully and exclusively Dominican
affairs.
The treaty with the United States was at this time
signed, to the great satisfaction Of all enlightened an
patriotic Domincans but there also the most vo-
lent and absurd ISLANDERS put in circulation respecting
he character Of the treaty and the interior objects Of
The American government. No one pretends to doubt
these vile ISLANDERS prepared at the European Con-
sulates, and exciting many false alarms in the
country
The editors Of the Porrenir in the simple desire
have the truth understood by the Dominican people re-
solved to present to them the treaty itselwhch
being printed at the moment for the Of Congress.
NJ. Raybaud had from Hayti to stop the treaty,
and the first day he in the city Of St. Domingo he
said othe Percair American paper and must be
stopped
He was permitted to see the proofs they first
