—London news, says the Baltimore Sun, furnishes further evidence of the fact that the British and French consuls did interfere to prevent the adoption by the Dominican Government of a treaty with the United States. It is stated that in July last the British consul had with the President of the Dominican Republic, which it says 'may be taken as the first direct opposition of the British agents upon the Samana,' the direct opposition we suppose having been found unavailing. The French consul subsequently joined the British consul in impressing upon the Dominican Government the dangerous step of permitting the Americans to settle at Samana. The means which were taken to make this impression are very complacently dwelt upon as follows: 'Raybaud is renowned for the energetic manner with which he knows how to make a powerful impression upon such weak minds as those that compose President Santa Anna's administration, and in this position he was powerfully backed by the arrival of a division of the French squadron at the West Indies, consisting of the frigate Penelope, 40; l'Oreste, 20; and the steam sloop l'Ardent, 6, under the command of the Chef de Division, Capt. Fourier. The object of this demonstration is not yet known, and the surmises of the public are various. It is likewise rumored that one or more English men-of-war are daily expected to join the French division, while the arrival of a large Spanish war steamer is equally looked for. It has been subsequently reported from Porto Rico, that the Spanish Government intended to send an accredited agent to Santo Domingo.'
