This, / venture to say, is the " sum tstal Of tie

These facts being unknown TO the Reporters Of the
Associated Press and the Cuba correspondents It is not
astonishing that they shonld sarmise ior il 10 given

Hoyt as they think that Spain has seized The Domin-

then be reenslaved would be quite pathetic il i was
not quite absurd.
There are various reasons why France viii never
threaten Hayti-among them, these:
She has recognized the Independence Of lisyti
She draws large revenue from Hayti, payment for
recognising that independence;
She is bound by treaty TO defend Hayti against all
foreign attacks; and-lastly
She could not attack Hayti without FRS declaring
war against England
might add TO these two others First, that
the experience of Napoleon, called the Crest, oOncu-
sively proves that France could not conquer Hayt
she were TO try; and secondly, that Napoleon called
the Little, is too shrewd statesman to voluntarily
attempt to defy the moral sentiment OF ChrisendofD
and the physical power of England combined, when,
even if be were successful in conquering both, the
possession of Hayti would net begin to balance the
expenses of governing it. Algeria, near a, hand

have also official authority for stating that last
tors Of treaty of alliance and Of defense between
Hayti and the Dominican Republic, By rhick the ia-
feerity Of the territory Of both cOnHtrieS against all
foreign popers is guaranteed The proposition was
accepted commissioners named to concudc the treaty;
and when it is signed, France and England should be
pledged to enforce il.
But even if France did not stand thus pledged, is il
likely that England would permit her seize Hayt in
violation of the laws Of nations and her treaty
stipulaons Meier. For Hayti in the hands Of
first class power, would command the Gulf, and the
Mole 81. Nicholas by the expenditure Of few thou
sands of dollars, could easily be made second Glib
raar. England void not permit her trade with Js-
nsica to be thus impered
Again, Napoleon, although traitor ami peEjurer,
is far-sghted ruler He knows too that events are
far stronger than articles and that although our Pres
dens hands may be tied by the Constitution, and
treason flourish in consequence thereof yet eicum-
may compel him appeal to the North, which,
unshackled, would sweep with the besom Of
destruction all the Cotton States into the Gulf at
quicker than Christ drove the devils and the swine
into the sea. Respectfully, JAMES REDPATH.
