CAL In the course OF the week the columns OF the
HERALD have teemed with the reports of three plen-

OF the correspondents, was impudent and dsObed-

The ambassador who was sent Co SANTANA in the

story, full OF Importance, OF that which he has
seen and heard; Of his inquiries and investiga-

productions: Of the country and the D0minicans,
the government, and many other extreme ideas
which, he thinks, should be known, furnishing q
faithful account of his mission, and giving from his
own Judgment the probable result of the negota-
ton and what is most interesting The HERALD
has shown but little favor to this SANTANA transfer
