CURACoA December 27.-The Dominican war
schooner A7litd arrived at this port on the oath
ultimo, from the city of st. Domingo, having on
board a commission. headed by General Cabral
TO escort the newly elected President, Buena-
ventura Baez, to the reestablished Dominican
republic.
On the 2Sth the President accompanied by
fhe Dominican charge d'Affaires, Mr.. ]. A.
Jesurum, highly respectable merchant OF this
island, paid his farewell visit to our Governor,
and was received by him with all the honors
usual ON such an occasion. The following day
President Baez and suite left for the capital (St
Domingo), and while passing the harbor torti6-
cations were saluted with the usual number Of
guns
On the morning of the lst instant the Dutch
war schooner At1ldntd Commander e. E. Bonn
1elt this port for the Wind ward Islands, and
while attempting several times to tack ship Off
the east point OF this island (or Point Cannon)
misstayed, occasioned in great measure by a
light wind and strong southwest current,
dritted ashore, and proved total loss.
The latest news we have here OF the independ-
ent General Venancio Pulear, former Governor
of the province of Zulia Venezuela (usurped
from him by the traitor Sutherland, who still
holds possession OF said province by the uncon-
stitutional aid of the General Government, which
distinctly says that each province should protect
and govern ITSELF except from foreign invasion)
is that in hIs last engagement with the Govern
ment troops OF New Granada, in supporting the
claims of General Fuentes, he was taken prisoner
alter five days hard fighting.
Many of your numerous readers will bear In
mind that this indomitable General Pulgar
entered Massiolo some six months past with but
fifty men, and kept possession for several hours;
but, not being reinforced, was obliged, by the
overwhelming numbers of Government troops,
to retreat. Since that time he has been engaged
in the wars of New Granada, awaiting the proper
moment to wrest from the usurpers grasp his
fraudulently obtained position, and thus liberate
his countrymen from the sway OF tyrant.
Intelligence arrived here per last packet from
ST. Thomas that General Baez had arrived at he
capital city of ST. Domingo, but that the prOvn ce
of Porto Platte, and other sections of the
Dominican republic, had refused to acknowledge
him as Py esident.
Determined not to be outdone by our neigh.
Dor, ST. Thomas, which was some months ago
honored with flying visit from Sandwich
Island Queen, we are now honored by the pre-,
sence OF eX-Emperor Faustin SoulouqUe and
family, who intend making this island their
permanent residence it being worldwide noted
for it's well-conducted government and salubrity
of climate.
The resident American Consul, Mr.. James
Falon, proves himself all that a government
official should be, and the United States may
well be proud of such representative One o.
sent American interests. Some of the Uuite0
States Consuls receive salaries quite inadequate
TO maintain the proper dignity OF their positions
The Spanish Consul here has fixed salary o
three thousand dollars in gold per annum will
the privilege of transacting business on his Owl
account; and the English Consul has about one
thousand pounds sterling, and the same priyi
leges.
The 18th instant was a grand gala day here
consequent upon laying the cornerstone of thu
"Reiormed lsraelitish Congregation Temple, f
Possenier," which ceremony was numerously al
tended by the most respectable part of our popu
lation. After the religious ceremonies CRANE
ball was given for the occasion by our towns
man. Mr. j. A. Jesurum, and was indeed mos
splendid affair.-Neoo York Herald.
The Suicide of Admiral PareIa, Com

,Translated from the CroRica-tae Spanish organ
NeW YOrk-of January II
The shrewd diplomatist, experienced seaman
and gallant officer who commanded our squac
ron in the Pacific died December 3, on being IL
formed of the mishap to La OOUddongd whe
he was on the point of vindicating the nations
flag ip a decisive manner. His susceptibility o
the Doint of honor could not bear an event s
common in war and the death OF Admiral Pare
reveals az once better than any other enc
mium, the temper of his soul. Whoever may

duty in view of the national honor ana u
immense loss we have sustained. we ieel L
the illustrious deceased the most proiouI
regret, and offer to his successor our heartie
