THE REVOLUTION IN ST. DOMINGO.

/ SANTANA FIELD-sT. DOMINGO CITY IN A STATE
OF sTEGE-FIIGHT OF THE INHABITANTS FROM TIE
! SCENE OF HosTILTIES, ETC.
The bark Clara Windsor, Captain McEwen, has
arrived at Quarantine from Port au Prince, whence
she sailed on the 18th ultimo. The intelligence she
! brings of the condition of affairs throurhout the
entire island of Hayti is of interesting nature.
The following particulars have been related to us of
the progress of the revolution in St. Domingo, and
its effects upon the unfortunate inhabitants by a
! gentleman who passenger on board the Clara
! Windsor.
| Before the sailing of the Clara Windsor people
were arriving in large numbers from the theatre of
! war at ST. Domingo. Some came overland and 9th
! ers in vessels Two or three days before our in
! formant left the island a schooner arrived at Cape
! Haytien from st. Domingo with between twenty
| live and thirty persons-men, women and children
| all of whom were in a destitute condition. having
| abandoned or been deprived of all they possessed
| by the progress of the revolution. 4 day or two
| afterwards sloop arrived at the same port from
| the seat of war, and discharged another cargo of
! human beings, who were also glad to escape with
! the loss of everything except their lives. From
! Cape Haytien they proceeded by way of Cumana,
to Port Prince, to join other companions in mis-
fortune who are every day crOwdng into that town.
! Most of these fugitives are French people, or the
descendants of French but our informant states that
the people of several nations as well as the French
| and Dominicans are seeking refuge in flight
| Among other arrivals by the overland ronte from
! st. Domingo to Port au Prince three men who
arrived shortly before the departure of the Clara
and fatigue on the journey.
| Matters in st. Domingo appear to be drawing to
crisis. A state of seige prevailed there when the
latest accounts from that portion of the island were
received. The renowned General Santana was at
the head of the forces opposed to the government
and it was believed that the revolutionary party
must ultimately be triumphant. No important
change has taken place in the relative positions of
the forces on either side up to the day which the
bark left Port au Prince, but the revolutionary
army was supposed to be increasing daily in num-
bers and it might be in strength sufficient to
warrant the undertaking ofdecisive measures. The
name of Satana to be terror to the opponents
and encouragement to the revolutionary forces.
Intelligence of battle of some description was
hourly expected at Port Prince. When the Clara
Windsor sailed there only two other vessels in
port one of which was schooner from Boston.
The yellow fever had entirely disappeared, and,
though there was no other disease of any kind pre-
vaing in the place, everything wore an exceeding
ly dull aspect.
Our informant believes that no fewer than $50 of
the fugitives from st. Domingo could have arrived
in Port au Prince alone during the month preceding
the departure of the c. w.

ORDERS TO THE SPANISH FLEET.
Correspondence ncHe ", O. Picn,nu1el

HAVANA, May A.-So many complaints have late
ly been laid before the Captain General of the CON
duct of certain British cruisers on the coasts of Gu
ba that he sent to sea the whole naval force at his
disposal for the double purpose of catching sIavrrs
and of preventing foreign armed vessels from violat-
ing the Sovereignty Of Spanish waters. Their crus-
ing ground extends from Cape ST. Antonia to the
bay of Guantanamo, in which port all the vessels are
ordered to rendezvous for the summer owing to the
unhealthy state OF our port.
SO far no collision has taken place between them
and the English, but ! have positive information
that their orders are to seize any English vessel
caught in the act of exercising the right of search
on merchant vessels in the harbors and waters of
the island. Concha had been driven to this step by
the high handed proceedings of English cruisers in
Sagua, Matanzas and this city, where their boats
