We are in the reception of details of the ia nous
mission of hr and Mrs. Gazneau to ST. Domingo, of
the negotiations carried on by this diplomatic pair,
and Of the present state OF the famous affair Of Sana
ma, which will have the double merit of edifying aud
of interesting readers. The correspondent to
whom We are indebted for them might have added
many others even moro piquant. "a great deal
"might have been said" he writes us, "about Mr..
"Cazreau personally, the position which he hiss as
"suned sine his arrival, and especially that Of hi.
"occeptc half their Establishment in sort of negro

but have endeevcred TO abstain from every thing
(which might seem like personality.
We therefore give the history Of ttis copjugal
mission, stripped OF sll accessories;
Sr DoMIYGO, Friday Dec l, 1854.
TIE tresty concluded between the United states
and the Domin. Jan Republic signed ON the 5th of
October, printed AID laid before the public the
lst Of November. This negotiation has been con-
ducted with the greatest mystery. The Pelipotent-
airy, CeZuesu failing ia bis designs on oamana throa
81 ed 20 return to Warrington Seeing that notice
was taken of bis threat he became resigned an4 FIR
the present at least gave up the main point forming
article 2sth of bis projected treaty. This article
would have secured 10 the United States under the
form o. twenty years lease, tract OF laad the
Bay OF Ssmana for the pur Jose of maratime estab-
shment with the exclusive right Of jur.dc over
American coonists who should settle near said estab
lshmeI,.
The shores of this Bay of SANTANA for some inc
uast 80 frequently honorCG by the attention of the
public. almost GeseIt, aud are separated from
Saint Domingo by several days journey across
country not less barren. The plan of establishing
line of steamers between this point and New York,
the only one put forw ard 10 justify demand
picious would naturally awaken the attention of the
English and French Governments who, alone, for
several years, have efiecually protected the Domin
can Republic agaius; an invasion from Hayti. sam
ana by its position, threatens not only Porto Rico
and Cuba but also all the Antilles.
The CaZneau treaty, as signed supulates that the
notifications shall be exchanged az ST. Domingo, with
in the period of ten months or before the fifth day of
August 1855. The American negOtlGtor should, there
fore have gone Immediately to that Of his Gov
erDment-the Ilayten Government slone being bene-
fitted by the full period OF delay. But Mr.. Cszne3u,
who lacks little of perfection in diplomacy, uy ed
otherW and pretended 20 have his treaty ratified here
before its presentation the United States Congress,
for fear that it would mscarry in St Domingo during
his absence That pretense having been accepted at
last for the sake OF peace an extra session OF the
DomiI lean Congress called the thirteenth OF No
vember; but a II was first occupied with plan OF
new constitution, Mr.. Cszneau became furious,
accusing the French and English Consuls
Of hinderiDg the presentation OF his trea-
ty Three vessels belonging TO the French
naval station of the Antilles having st this iunciure
anchored in the hsrbor OF ST. Domingo, Mr. Cazneau,
hurried on by bis wholesome yoketelow, and by
lis parasite ARgalo G,lrT'di, nainralized Amsri-

of protest TO The French and English COnsul1. &C.
cusing them Of interfering in bis aif.rs-eIolusIvely
AmeIiCan-and charging them with overawing the
action Of the Dominican Go ernuent by foreign
naval force. To this message, marked BY hqrt-ar
almost threatening, answer was returned, Coached
in ms as hlief ss they we're deserved.
Meanwhile public opinion, quite favorable 70 tie
treaty until It's purport was knows becim decidedly
hostile t. it when the people were convinced that
the reciprocity Of treatment secured to the citizens
of either party on the soil Of the other, prorided
Lfv sWJmtied 81 tie local lars and CUSTOMS you'd be
only a lure for The Domincans, because OF the color
of nineieen-twt ntieihs of ths population People
began 10 say that treaty could be honorable TO the
county without real reciprocity. snd that such rec
prociiy wGs impossible With toe unied saes because
Of their loo al laws and customs. They rcoun'ei me
exclusions the contempt and the insults TO when
blacks and people OF color are exposed Whatever DC
their fortune and personal merit.
From that time Mr.. CazLeaus hurry 10 present
the treaty. 10 the Dominican Congress cooled OIL won

presentation In the hope Of seeing this couhter

shoud withdraw the treaty, il knew OF no pIincpie
of international law by which he could foroid inns
