From St. Domingo.

—We learn from Capt. Wilson of the brig Republic, just arrived from Port au Prince, that on the 12th of March the Haytien man of war Herard, in the schr. La Granada, had been seen off the South side of the Island, five miles off, by five gun boats. The whole coast was guarded by vessels of war, to prevent the ex-President and his adherents from landing. The government called out all the militia, and the whole of that part of the Island belonging to the Haytien government was under martial law. Several of the adherents of Herard had been taken and shot, and there was a great excitement throughout the Island. Coffee was very scarce and high on account of all the country men having been taken for soldiers, and no persons left to bring the Coffee to market. The markets were glutted with American produce.
Although numerous arrests were made in different parts of the Republic, among whom were some of the journalists, there was no general sympathy for Herard, who was viewed as an ambitious usurper, and by all parties of government, that his attempts to revolutionize the country would prove abortive.
It was rumored at Port Republican, that a revolution had taken place at St. Domingo, which had resulted in the expulsion of Gen. Santana from the Presidency, and in the elevation to that office of Major Moru, a mulatto of splendid character, and the respectable family of the Alvares of Zagnate (Saint Domingo.) If true, this change of government in the Dominican Republic would be the triumph of an enlightened policy over military rule, and demagogism personified in Santana and Bobadilla.

Although numerous arrests were made in differ
ent parts of the Republic, judging from the tone of
the journals, there was no general sympathy for He
rard, nor any very serious apprehensions felt by the
partisans of government, that his attempts to revo
lutionize the country would be successful.
It was rumored at Port Republican, that a revo
lution had taken place at St. Domingo, which had
resulted in the expulsion of Gen. Santana from the
Presidency, and in the elevation to that office of
Regia Mota, a member of the numerous and highly
respectable family of the Alvares de Zaguate (Saint
Christophe.) His accession to the Presidency of the
Dominican Republic would be the triumph of an en
lightened and liberal party over intrigue and dema
gogism personified in Santana and Bobadilla
A Letter published in the Cleveland Plaindealer.
Rio de Janeiro-, Feb. 9, 1845.
The Brazilian Government have insulted our Min
ister here, and also the consul, and in fact the Amer
ican officers and the flag daily. The Minister has
written on to Washington about it, to know how he
shall act —whether he shall declare war or not, and
to send him out a large fleet.
