The Dominicans and the Haytians.

We have received from a friend in Washington two back Reports, relative to Mr. Hogan's Mission to the storied Island of St. Domingo. The Dominicans have applied to our Government for their Republic to be recognized as an Independent Nation. Mr. Hogan was sent by Mr. Tyler, as a Commissioner to inquire into the resources and condition of that country before any steps should be taken in the matter. Mr. Hogan has returned, but his report has not been made public.

The first of these papers is an abstract of a statement of a late Commissioner to the Haytien Government, in which it is stated that the Spanish part of the Island remained under the dominion of Spain until 1821, when it revolted to Hayti, in which condition it remained till the fall of Boyer, in February, 1843, when it revolted from Hayti and formed a temporary Government established under the name of the Central Junta of Government. It then goes on to detail the history of their secession from the Haytiens, the final establishment of a Liberal Constitution and code of laws, &c. The country is divided into Provinces, Senate and House of Representatives. The Governors of each Province are elected by the Executive.

The territory claimed by the Dominicans comprehends two-thirds of the Island, extending from La-Beata, on the south, to the River of the Massacre on the north, and from the River of the Massacre on the north, to the River of the Pedernales on the south, both falling into the sea, the latter to the windward (West) of Beata Island.

The country is said to be rich in Tropical fruits and in minerals. The principal articles of export are mahogany, lignumvitae, logwood, tobacco in leaf and cigars, cattle, hides, yellow and white wax, gum guiacum, honey, and wood for building.

The population is over 200,000, half of whom are white, and hold the general administration, while two-thirds of the other half are mulattoes, and the remainder negroes. It is contended that the Nation has ample means in the way of men, munitions of war and Revenue to sustain herself. But strangely enough in the next paragraph it is stated they 'have are entertained of the vengeance of the Haytiens, who count half a million.'

The second is a sketch of the state of Religion in the Dominican Republic, written by a citizen of that country, Mr. Hogan was after his arrival at St. Domingo. It contains nothing of particular interest. The prevailing religion is Catholic. Then follows a long letter from John H. Hogan, member of the Haytien Legislature, to Mr. Hogan. This treats at some length of what was formerly the French part of the Island, now the Haytien Republic; also the nature of the Haytien constitution and laws, and how they are administered; the condition of the People, their manners and customs, religion, social condition, rights and privileges of each class or race of people, &c. He gives a succinct history of the Island from the time of the Declaration of Independence to the Revolution of 1843-4, and analyzes the Constitution of 1843, which seems to be a very good one if its provisions were faithfully carried out. The Exports in 1843-4 were $2,700,000, but by the secession of the East are reduced $300,000. The Public Expenses he estimates at $1,000,000. Two-thirds of this sum is absorbed by the Army, which is 20,000 strong. The population under the Colonial Government in 1789, was estimated at 535,000 souls; it is now 629,000, of whom 521,000 are blacks, 28,000 mulattoes and 500 whites. In conclusion, Mr. Hogan says:

The whites are generally industrious, and the idea that they are superior to the other classes of the population seems to continue with many who hold a certain rank in society. The example of their order and activity, however, cannot but instruct the French and English, who are generally merchants, and have very profitable relations for the country. They are also sometimes hated by the exclusive mulattoes and the blacks.

The mulattoes are the most intelligent people. Among them—they have ruined the country in flattering their vanity.

The blacks desire the supremacy denied them by the mulattoes. From these dissensions will spring an Inquisition, in which the mulattoes will be the unhappy victims.

In general the people of Hayti, of all colors and classes, are hospitable, generous, charitable, particularly the females. It is very common to find the most extreme indolence and carelessness on the one side, and inclined to luxury and show on the other. Some great and many social virtues may be found amongst some of them—They are very fond of music and dancing. In general it is very difficult to give a fixed and certain character to the people of Hayti. They are mostly of different nations, and different characters, and different languages. They are strangers to the country. The mulattoes are intelligent, enlightened, eloquent; they cultivate the arts and sciences; are distinguished in medicine, law, public affairs, even in the army; they are the flower of the new generation; but they are full of pride, of egotism and of prejudices. In their manners, although they are civil, they are rude and in some manner savage. Although polygamy is not permitted, they seldom marry according to the laws. The blacks are the most numerous. The most superstitious, and the enlightened portion only esteem it a duty to be civil to others. The Catholic religion is undisputed in Hayti, in consequence of the bad conduct of the priests. There is a Protestant church, particularly the Wesleyan Church at Port-au-Prince, which is respected; but the people, in consequence of the conduct of its pastors, are in general not respect. They are taught to proselyte.

With respect to the different races among us, I can say generally that the Haytiens are in the second age of civilization. The mulattoes and the most intelligent blacks have preserved the savage manners and customs. In the army there are and yet are not and are disposed to use force and arrogance. French and English fashions prevail in the cities, and are imitated in some degree in the country, except that the whites are a species of Pariah, who have not the right of citizenship; they are even forbidden to marry; so that the white man, whatever may be his effort to maintain himself in the position he should occupy, is discouraged, and he ends by the loss of all his rights and all his privileges, and will be reduced to the most miserable and unhappy condition.

This, sir, is all I have to say to you of my country. The truth was due to you, and I have not deceived you. Our country, which will be some day, is about to be ruined. It is a body without a soul, and which will soon fall to ruin. It is a destroyed agriculture; a commerce which is about to be annihilated; a people divided and neglected their education, moral and political. Boyer, by his influence, could alone have saved it; but he was [illegible] by the union of the East, and the recognition of our independence by France, and by the law which excluded as many foreigners as possible to this rich and productive soil. He should have encouraged agriculture, and given us a more liberal constitution, embodying principles favorable to the whites, and then our country would have been saved. But our reform has been a deception."
