From ST. Domingo.

The brig r. w. Packer arrived at this port
last night. with dates from Cape Hayten to JAN
uary 18th. The Emperor Soulouque had actual
ly marched on his second expedition against the
Dominicans, but his army having been pressed
into the service was not expected to act with
much efficiency.
In some cases, merchants at the Cape had been
pressed and placed in Jail to await their march to
the frontier, but were afterwards released. When
the Packer sailed, the officers were still engaged
in pressing men, and many had hidden themselves.
At one time it was rumored that the Emperor
would visit the Cape, and his officers made pre-.
parations to receive him, but for some reason he
did not come.
The party opposed to the Emperor are greatly
increased in consequence of his defeat. The pro
liability is, if he should be killed or assassnated
the people would restore n republican government
