they have made stroug verbal protest against
it. It is further stated that the British Consul
has addressed the Dominican government an
insolent note, in which lie states that the govern
ment connot negotiate such treaty without the
consent of England and France. Two Dominl-
can journals had also been suppressed, at the
instance of the French Consul, for expressing
sentiments favorable TO the United States.
THE action of the two consuls has, so far
prevented the ratification of the treaty by the
Dominican legislature. The treaty embraces
thirty articles, and is merely one of amity, COM
merce, and navigation guarantees freedom OF
conscience; provides for tho rendition of tusI-
from justice; recognizes the principle that

through, or reside and do business within the
territory of the other, and in case OF war he

and mail steamers in the ports OF Dominica I;
coucedes the right to appoint consuls, &C., at all
ports except where their admission and residence

too vague and equivocal to secure the END II

sured in general terms. This our commission

now four French vessels Of war in the port OF
st. Domingo and an English flee! is shortly
expected there, with the view, it is supposed, OF
preventing the final ratification of the treaty"
