A Dominican man-of-war schooner, belonging to General Santa Ana, called the Separacion, formerly the pilot boat Romp, arrived off here to-day, with letters from General Santa Ana to Gen. Villanueve, informing him that he, Santa Ana, had been legally chosen by the legal Junta, President of the Republic, in the city of St. Domingo. Gen. Villanueve sent his son, and aid, Colonel Toutio, on board of her to invite the Captain to bring his vessel in, which he did. He saluted the town, which was returned by the fort. The same legal Junta that Gen. Santa Ana has reinstated, are the self-chosen or appointed, who wished to, or who in fact did cede Samana to the French. The party that President Duarte is the chief of, are opposed to the French protection. Since the arrival of the French Admiral with the Junta, the French have been actively employed in Port-au-Prince, to create there a diversion of the Black Government against the East. The same activity in intrigue has been displayed at Cape Haytien. It is not yet ascertained with what success.
At the time that Gen. Duarte was proclaimed President at La Vega and on this side of the island, Gen. Santa Ana was on the frontiers with his army. While there, he received a commission from the Junta at St. Domingo, and he commenced his march on St. Domingo—his army increasing on the route. Report says he appeared before the city with an army of 6,000 men, in a tolerable state of discipline, and was by them made President. He is in favor of French protection—so report says. Whether such protection would benefit the country is hard to say. On the principle that a powerful friend is a benefit, the protection of the French may possibly benefit these people, provided their commerce with other nations, and their own internal Government, are not interfered with.
As I before informed you, Gen. Duarte is a white man, about 30 years old; Gen. St. Ana is a Spanish white, about 55 years old. The last named has devoted all his fortune to this revolution; two of the man-of-war schooners are his private property. The existing difficulties may be amicably arranged; but I believe myself there will be some fighting, if the two Presidents can bring their followers up to it. The people don't like that sort of work.—N. Y. Jour. of Commerce.

bring his vessel in, which he did. He saluted
the town, which was returned by the fort. The
same legal Junta that Gen. Santa Ana has rein
stated, are the self-chosen or appointed, who
wished to, or who in'fact did cede Samana to the

chiet of, are opposed to the French protection.
Since the deposition of the first named part of
the Junta, the French have been actively em
ployed in Port-au-Prince, to create there a diver

the same activity in intrigue has been displayed
at Cape Haytien. It is not yet ascertained with
what success.
At the time that (Gen. Duarte was proclaimed
President at La Vega and on this side of the isl
