An Anglo-Africa Contraband Treaty.—The

Dominican Republic and our Government have re

ceived a new humiliation from England. When

that Power, in conjunction with France, sent a

fleet to St. Domingo, to order the Laznean treaty to

be canceled, it also insisted, in behalf of the negroes,

that the black population should be represented in

the Cabinet or Senate. In obedience to this behest,

an educated negro, named Bobadilla, was nominated

to the Council of State. Rather than have any dif

ficulty with England, Mr. Pierce thought proper to

send private orders to our Commercial Agent at St.

Domingo to revise the Laznean treaty, or make a

new one to which England would not object; and

this same negro, Babadilla, was appointed to revise

or negotiate a treaty. This precious Anglo-African

mutilation of the original treaty is now in the hands

of the President, and will probably be submitted to

the Senate about the Bth or 9th of May.

As it Should Be.— The President of the Pa
