The release of the Contoy prisoners. What is the next scene in the bill of the play? Some say that Hayti is next to become the subject of some peremptory demands, enforced at the cannon's mouth. English abolitionists, it is said, are intriguing for the purpose of aiding the blacks to conquer the Spanish Dominicans, and that they will then buy Cuba from Spain and make a black empire, by abolishing slavery. Another idea is, that Spain will take part with the Dominicans, and that the United States will be called upon to interfere. We shall see.

English abolitionists, it is said, are intriguing

for the purpose of aiding the blacks to conquer the

Spanish Dominicans, and that they will then buy

Cuba from Spain and make a black empire, by

abolishing slavery.

Another idea is, that Spain will take part with

the Dominicans, and conquer Faustin I., and bring

St. Domingo under the Spanish Captain-general

ship of Cuba. Another plan is, for adventurers

from the United States to aid the Dominicans; ex

them, and then propose annexation to the United

Every one seems to admit that the dominion of

the blacks or that of the whites is to be exclusive

ly established in St. Domingo. The amount of the

claims of citizens of the United States on Hayti,

for depredations on our commerce in former times,

was originally about $1,500,000. Faustin I. is poor,

they say, and very avaricious, and that he will not

pay without compulsion. Hayti is indebted to

France for indemnities, under a treaty made with

Charles X., to a large amount, and may, one of

these days, be called upon to pay it.

Mr. Clay seems also in despair of obtaining a

decision upon the adjustment bill. He looks jaded,

and begins to show impatience. Two days have

been wasted in fruit'ess discussion of amendments,
