so City. Our adyiees are to November 10, at
which time the conjugal representatives. Of
Acssrs. Pierce x Marcy were not in as high
state Of diplomatic felicity as might be desir-
ed. The treaty concluded and signed on Oc
| tober 5, or TIE part Of the United States, by
Gen. CazBeau, and on The part OF the Domini-
can Republic hy two special commissioners
appointed for the purpose, had been published
by the Dominican government, but the last
step 0T our duplex ambassador, (whether Of
the husband or the wife, or both, we are not
inforned,) was to address a note to the Domi-
nfcan Minister Of Foreign Affairs, withdraw
ing this very hard-got treaty!
In Justice To both Mrs. anl, Air. Cazneau, it
must be stated that this attempt 10 Withdraw
the treaty was ordered l5y no less a parsonage
than Mr. Secretary Marcy himself When the
document reached Washington, it found
that Mrs. Cazneau had Gy some oversight, or
possibly bv some influence Of femenine but
undiplGmatic generosity, made the provision
authorizing the settlement and residence OF
American citizens III Dominica, and guaran-
teeing to Americans il that country ali the
privileges conferred on subjects Of most favor
ed nations, reciprOcaily binding on the Amer
ican government with respect 10 Dominicans
Thus we are bound by this treaty to allow the
blacks of Dominica every privilege and right in
any part Of the United States that grant TO
any white foreigner. Along with this conces-
sion on our part, it is true that naval station,
on the Bag Of Saslsna IS secured to us; but
this was not enough to commend the treaty,
a.sd to allay the fears OF abolition and anlaiga-
nation which It caused at once IN the bosom
of Mr. Marcy, who determined to withhold it
from the Senate, and TO have the ambassador
attempt to take ii back if possible.
It seems. however, that there are serious OBJ
s-ac!es IL Dominica to the accomplishment OF
this natural wish the part Of our cautious
but ianoyatiHs Secretary. These obstacles the
daring mind OF iirs. Cazncau proposcsto over
come in 4 manner which would do no dscredt
to am feminine diplomat ever heard of in his
tory. The Congress is in Tie way: very well,
abolish it! This is the device. y coup d etat,
eudowiEg the Pr1snent Of the Republic with
dictatarial power. IS, accordingly, being pre-
pared ny the fertile mind Of Mr.. NSrcy's fe-
male plcIfipotentiary.
By way, probably, Of VARYING the ialors Of
this revolutionary plot, DIR. CaZneau IS also |
