day from Port-au-Prince. The Com

which are strong for annexation. The

soon as she Goals, by way of Key West.
All hands well. The Commissioners
were badly received in Hayti, where
Gen. Cabral informed them that he had
had no battle with Baez
KINGSTON, JAMAICA, March ll.-The

formances OF the Tennessee have de-
lighted everybody. Fears Of her condl-

his report, and as yet separate drafts
have not been compared
President Baez accompanied the
