San Domingo Annexed to spain---
WarliMe Movements

I'VE" AOhN3 MAJ I'll
The Quaker City, from Havana, Monday,
has arrived.
Much excitement existed at Havana on
the subject of the annexation of San Domin-
60 to Spain. 1t seems the system of Span
ish emigration has been going on in that is
land, the emigrants being instructed, when
the proper time arrived, to hoist the Spanish
flag and invoke the protection of SPAIN
This was done on the 18th, much to the as
tonishment of the blacks and natives.
When the news reached Havana, the frig-
ate Blanca, fully armed with large number
of regular troops, was despatched, sailing on
the 2ad. Two screw frigates will soon fol-
low, with five thousand regulars.
A large naval and military force of 10, 900
is said to be on the way from Spain.
1t is stated that Hayti will soon share the
same fate as San Domingo, with the consent
of France.
It is said million dollars are en- route
from Spain to aid the metallic circulation OF
the Island.

Very Important If True.

A Paris letter in the Times states that the
French and English Governments are fitting
out powerful fleet OF war steamers for the
United States. The suggestion came from
England. France will furnish three first

will perhaps be larger. The fest will sail
with sesiod orders.

popular. When Virginia secedes, few

It will be seen that in most cases the duty
is double, Or 100 per cent. greater, at the
North than at the South. If the proposed
Southern tariff goes into effect it will divert
commerce from New York and Boston to
Savannah and New Orleans, and the United
States will not only lose the revenue but her
people, as consumers of great portion OF
the goods imported, will pay taxes to the
rebel government. In short, unless our
government succeeds in putting stop to the
treasoaable designs of the seceders it will
be seriously crippled if not ruined. 1t is
uselessto talk of establishing line of Gus
tom houses along the frontier Of the seeded
States. The frontier is not clearly defined,
and will not be till tho Border Slave States
finally decide whether to go with the North
OF the South. 1t is suggested by some that
a simple notification to foreign powers that
no goods could be either cleared or entered
in Southern ports under the authority Of the
United States government, and consequently
would be liable to forfeiture wherever found,
would be sufficient to cut off nearly all trade.
But the most feasible plan appears to be
that of stationing vessels off the Missis-
sippi, tho mouth of the Savannah river and
Charleston, to collect the revenue at sea.
This would avoid bloodshed, as no land
forces could be employed, and the Confeder-
ate States have no navy with which to resist.
If the President has not the power to adopt
this measure, we hope Congress will be con-
vened without delay to confer it upon him.
Some action must be taken soon, or we might
as well surrender the government at once to
the traitors.
