—The brig Stephen G. Ross, Capt. Winchester, arrived at New York on the 1st inst., from St. Domingo City, with dates to the 13th ultimo. President Soulouque was within 16 miles of the city, with an army of 30,000 well-disciplined troops. He had taken all the towns on his march, and was expected to attack the city in a day or two. The inhabitants were taking every chance to leave, and a number of British vessels were crowded with refugees. A large quantity of money and valuable property was placed in the houses of the American and British Consuls. The war was not a war between women and children, and no doubt it is by this time in possession of Soulouque, from whose character it is supposed much blood has been shed. Capt. W. says he had much difficulty in getting a clearance and provisions enough for his voyage.
