ST. DOMINGO, Nov. 24, 1854.

Antics of European Diplomacy on the Island—The European Consuls think St. Domingo is Sebastopol—Uncle Sam has his Laugh at them.

The mail packet from St. Thomas brought to St. Domingo on Sunday, 19th inst., news of the fall of Sebastopol. Fresh French and English forces, and great was the joy and loud the shouting thereat.

Mr. Maxime Raybaud, the French Charge d'Affaires at the Haytien court, came here to forbid any treaty whatever with the United States; for, he says "England and France will not permit." This is a simple falsehood, based a good deal like European encroachments on the independence of an American power; but of course it will appear all right to the Haytiens and the Spanish junkers of the Dominican States.

Monsieur Raybaud has lorded it largely over both the white and black governments on this island for some time past, threatening one with the other when he desired to bring it down. He feeds it, now using the seventy millions of francs claimed by his government from Hayti as a screw; now, when he professes a condescending friendship to the Dominicans, to put the Haytiens in the way of conquering this fine territory, in the hope that, after a while, both will be able to pay their debts to France. The Dominicans would rather make a free gift of their country to the United States.

These European Consuls will chafe mightily at seeing all their fine plans frustrated by this treaty with the United States.

But to return to the Sebastopol news: These French and English diplomats in their imagination forgot that Sebastopol was only one extreme corner of the Russian empire, and that it would take a hundred such victories to break down Nicholas, with his six-million subjects, and they carried themselves as if Russia was entirely at their feet.

At their command, the Comandante of St. Domingo was directed to raise the French and English flags to the highest place of honor, higher than a national flag. By some mistake, the officer raised the American flag higher, and had hardly got it hoisted, when in came a messenger in haste from Monsieur Raybaud, ordering down the American flag. The officer attempted to obey, but the obstinate flag took firm hold of the rope by the upper outside corner, and spread out in full size—refusing to come down—there to the confusion... for twenty minutes, our stars half covering the French and English flags, to the supreme anger of Monsieur Raybaud and the British Consul, Mr. Schomburgk, and the secret satisfaction of the Dominicans, who were delighted with this emblem of arrogance. They were compelled to lower all the flags before the stars and stripes could be taken off. Sebastopol was forgotten, and the flags had to be hoisted and saluted the following day.

Then they wrote such a brag story... these diplomatic gentlemen ... that, having disposed of Russia, "Our governments would now turn their attention to the United States."

Sunday was a great Dominican gala day. Some two thousand troops, in full uniform, received their banners and attended divine service. Monsieur Raybaud, taking advantage of the occasion, got a French priest to sing a Te Deum, and preach a sermon, explaining to the troops the glorious Christian victory; for, according to the Padre and this diplomat, the Turks must be super-excellent Christians. Oh, "what a great day for Santo Domingo!"

But the mail packet of the 6th comes in and says that all the news from Europe is false, that Sebastopol was not taken, and that the story of the glorious victory was a great hoax. The Consuls go about with long faces and a very downcast air.

You will know all about the fate of Sebastopol before us; but if it is not taken when this reach you, you may go to bed in peace, for Monsieur Raybaud does not intend taking the United States until Sebastopol is used up.

AN AMERICAN.

St. Domingo, Nov. 25, 1854.

Invasion of the Rights of an American Citizen by the Haytien Consul—Threats of Violence—Expression of American Sympathies—The Feeling of the Dominicans with the United States.

If the Dominicans have a party, and even a press, in the United States, they may seek to deny the facts I relate; but the person legally vested with the character of representative of France and Hayti at this capital, has forced the Dominican government to destroy the liberty of the press, and also prevented the treaty with the United States.

Allow me here to state some facts which will prove I am correct.

I saw in the NEW YORK HERALD of February last, an article containing a very exact description of the festivities of the sixth anniversary of the republic, French republic, with the context, and, on its site; point, Houston and Brasseur, my paper, El Orden. M. Raybaud made very haughty complaints that this was a disrespect to his imperial master, and that the article must be written by an American, because my paper was printed in the government printing office.

President Santana therefore withdrew the privilege, and stopped the Orden. I was ruined; but, feeling the injustice, submitted without murmur.

Again, in October last, I, with two of my Dominican friends, got up a paper called El Oasis, the prospectus of which, as we had not as yet the machinery necessary, we had permission to use the government type and press. No sooner had it appeared, than M. Raybaud again complained, with extreme reserve, in order that this French dictator should not be offended, President Santana again took away our freedom of speech—proposing to continue our editorial observations carefully and exclusively to Dominican affairs.

The treaty with the United States was at this time known to be on the carpet. It excited the enthusiasm of all patriotic Dominicans, but there were also the most violent and absurd slanders put in circulation respecting the object of the mission of General Cazneau—no less than the American government. No one pretends to doubt these vile slanders were prepared at the European Consulates, and were exciting panic among the Haytiens in the country.

The editors of the Fenix, in the simple desire to have the truth understood by the Dominican people, republished the articles from the NEW YORK HERALD, as being printed at the moment for the use of Congress. M. Raybaud came from Hayti to stop the treaty, and he pretended to find in those articles that the Dominican editor was an American paper, and must be stopped.

I happened to see the proofs as they first came from the type, and when he found the trespass... he inserted the word "Santo Domingo," with the headline "Santo Domingo and the United States," he republished the article without any comments, in order that these offensive truths could see the light. I enclose an exact copy of it to the editor of the NEW YORK HERALD, in order that the Americans may know in what manner French agents in Santo Domingo pretend to master American interests and the liberty of the press in St. Domingo.

The article was as follows:

"Our readers will find below the treaty of friendship, alliance and trade, concluded between the United States and the Dominican republic, which we have no doubt will be read with interest by every one of our citizens, not only for the interest it must inspire in the minds of all who sincerely desire a prosperous future for our country, but even more for its effect on the destiny of that interesting island. To those who are spectating this new tie of friendship which is to enlarge our commerce and increase the power and dignity of our country, it will be gratifying to know that it was produced in the atmosphere of suppositions, conjectures and fears which the allies were so anxious to spread over the zenith and scatter the clouds that float in space. No one knew the terms of the treaty until its final signature and general. The only difference is the article regarding Santo Domingo, which is now considered as mutual and general and unquestionable interest. Besides, the terms of this stipulation are equally high on both sides, and it will end by a treaty with the United States.

"The Haytiens, who are alike the enemies of the United States and the Dominican republic, have displayed and are displaying extraordinary alarm at the mission of General Cazneau, the American Plenipotentiary near this government. This is natural—a true treaty between the two republics would not agree with their hopes to make the passive attitude of the United States applicable to all the Spanish country around the gulf... No one can foresee the end of this drama; but there is no reasonable why one American State should not be the friend of another, they try to turn to tricks and falsehoods to prevent the realization of this friendship.

"The press of Hayti, directed by Frenchmen, spreads a fear that General Cazneau came here to exact some concessions in favor of the United States, and to ask a precedence. We can only laugh at these fables and fantasies. What can Hayti do to Santo Domingo? The Haytien press is a St. Domingo Columbia. We will not insult the United States so much as to believe that it would compromise its dignity by taking part in these petty internationalities. We believe, besides, that the Dominican republic, however weak, is strong enough to maintain itself now; for though small in power and population, God, the protector of justice, will save us from the Haytiens, and even in climate—our lack of strength and numbers.

"The editor of the Fenix has republished this article as an ultimatum messis, which we give to these false reports, that those who believe that the United States intends to compromise the independence or sovereignty of the Dominican republic, may see their error. Santo Domingo, if she was not independent, would choose of making this island what nature intended it should be—an asylum for European despotism; and if we believed there was in Samana the seeds of danger to Santo Domingo, we would be the first to oppose the mission of Commodore Perry, of the United States navy, who obtained that point. Is there a Dominican, we would ask, who does not see that foam with consternation and in a state of desperation, all those whose interests are opposed to the prosperity of our country? They see in the progress of the State most dreaded by Hayti. But we say to all these alarms, the treaty with the United States is concluded, and there is nothing in it incompatible with our national independence and sovereignty—so we may smile at all these Haytien reports.

"The treaty is now given to the public light, and we leave it to the judgment of our citizens, whether it is not one of the best steps which the government could have taken, and one which we have conceived for advancing the condition of the country, and one which will bring us fruit.

"It is no slight satisfaction to us, after having been President of the republic, to have effected this convention—and it is a still greater satisfaction when we think, and the great majority of the country is of the same opinion, that it will destroy forever the pretensions of the Cbao, who have thus declared themselves the enemies of our prosperity. So long live the friendship of the American Union a powerful support to our independence, and long live President Santana!

"This article, Mr. Editor, and this alone, was sufficient to cause the arrest of Mr. Guridi, and threatened, at the same time, the hopes of your friend and servant,

ANGULO GU RIDI.
