We have received interesting advices from St.
Domingo City. The republic was quiet, and in po
litical asairs everything was at peace The ques-
ton in agitation between Denmark and Dominica
would probably be peacefully settled. Mr. C. G.
Kolf had been appointed Dominican Consul for the
United States- A lengthy correspondence had
taken place between the Minister of Foreign Rela-
tons Of the republic, and the consuls Of England
France, Spain, Sardinia and other countries, con-
corning the decree Of the Legislature of the 5th of
May. The health of the country was good.
BY the brig John Butler, Captain Miner, we
have news from Porto Platte to the LIST
instant Business was very dull, as the to-
bscco crop is nearly all bought up. Exchange,
paper for gold, 81 so national for 81, and not
much paper; very little hard money in circu-
iation. The three individuals detected two months
since in the act of landing and passing counterfeit
paper money, from the States, escaped from the jail
at Santiago about the 9th ult, together with the
JAN keeper. The people generally were much dis
satisfied with the prevailing government and pre-
dicted revolution shortly. There would not,
probably, be much fighting; all that would be ne
oessary would be for majority to declare revolt,
DC. The treasury was kept dry, as usual.
We hare files from Jamaica, dated at Kingston,

ing In adultery with woman separated from her
husband had deliberately poisoned three of her
children at different times, in order to get rid of
their support; and the mother not only did not in
form on him but continued to reside with him.
The Kingston Journal, speaking on the immigra-
ton question and the opposition Of the Antislavery
Bociety Of England to it, remarks We say that it
fs not for committee either Of the House Of Lords
or of the Commons to inquire and decide whether
che inhabitants of Jamaica do do not require ad-
ditionsl laborng population. We maintain that this
ia our own business, and that If we conceive that
additional population Is needed, and are prepared
TO find the means necessary to introduce it, Para-
ment has no concern with It, and no constitutions
power to deal with the question.
