Mr. Lawrence, after the minutes had been read, stated that he desired to explain that the flag formerly hanging in the Chief En gineer's office had merely been placed in the temporary charge of Company G, of the 4th Regiment, and had not been presented to them. The board proceeded to act on the report of the Committee on Rules and Regulations. The rules heretofore published were adopted with some slight modifications, the most im portant of which were to strike the figures 8 and 10 from the rnle regulating the number of extra men to be appointed for each engine and trnck, and inserting 4 and G, so ai to make the number four for every engine com pany and six for every truck company. The item in regard to equipments was also changed by inserting "navy blue" in the place of the word "red," as applied to shirts, and providing that tho coats shall have brass 1 11 11- iL. 1 11 itn TO .

The bombardment of Paris continues without interruption throughout the day and night, women and children being frequently killed in the streets or tbe city. A Berlin despatch savs that a semi official statement made that Austria has offered her servioes as mediator between Prussia and France is premature. The accounts relative to Cnanzy's army differ materially as from the sources whenoe they come, the Germans asserting that it is virtually crushed, and the French that it is re organized and ready to resume operations. J ales Favre is ready and anxious to at tend the London Conference, and is only pre cluded from proceeding to London by reason of the bombardment.

RYKOl'RIH OF SK HETAUT rial's i.r.iriui. Secretary Fish's letter ia lengthy, aud re views the questions embraced iu tne rsla tion. After referring to the boundiry be tween Hayti and San Domingo, which bn says is well defined, he htatea (hat no docu ment can be found which maks Saa U -tningn liable for any of the d-bt to Ft dm assumed by the Government of Hayti. lie fcketchts the history of tho Domiuican Re public, which was proclaimed in December, 1821, end details at length its relations witii Ibis country under Presidents l'?!L and Pierce, both of whom sent commissioners, the former in regard to the qncstion of recog nition, and the latter in regard to the pur chase of Samana Bay as a naval station. The negotiations iu regard to Samaria Bay were broken off, probably by the inteT'erouoo of fort-ign powers. During our late war Spain tiied to repossess herself of the ishnd. In 1FGG the effort to secure Samaua bay was revived by the United States age tits under the direction of Secretary Howard. The Domini can Government seoretly applied to the United Slates for money and war material to aid them in their war with Spain, offering SumaLa bay as apltdge. In January, 18(17, the Assistant Secretary ol State visited Sau Di.mitJgo. He was authorized to offer to the Dominican Government $2,000,000, payablo one-balf in cabh and the other half in arms and munitions of war, as a con sideration for the proposed cession, lie was instructed to require a full sovereignty of tho United Statos over the territory to be ceded. The negotiation failod, however, because the Dominican Government could, not consent to an absolute sale of ter ritory wilhont violating an express provision of the Constitution of the Dominican repub lic just adopted; that it would be inconve nient to await amendments to tho Constitu tion. The Dominican Government, there foie, proposed a lease of tho Cayos Levan tando, which comnand the fcntranco of the Bay of Samana, and the use of tho adjacent waters, together with certain specified privi leges on the main land of the peninsula. This measure would not answer tho purposes of the United States. The negotiations were renewed in February, but no progress having been made by Mr. Smith, the power with which he was invested was revoked on the 8th of May, 18U7. Friendly sentiments concerning the delicacy oi tne Butrject inauced tne oecrotary of State to direct mat no publicity sbould be given to these proceedings, and that no trace of thera should be left on the records of the commer cial or consular agent of the United States in San Domingo. At subsequent periods during the year 1807 the Dominican Government was understood to have entered into a formal treaty with the Repnblic of Hayti, by which thosa two pow ers which divide the island of San Domingo between them mutually stipulated that neither would in any case alieuate any portion of its territories; and a proclamation was issued by the President of the Dominican Republic, announcing that he had not made and should not make any cession of tbe bay or peninsula of Samana to the United States or to any other power. In November, 18'J7, General Cabral sent Mr. Jnrol to Washinc-ton to renew negotiations, whiou were terminated by Cabral s downfall in March, 1808. Mr. Somers Smith, United States Commercial Agent, was in constant communication with tbe two governments duriug 1808. Mr. Fish Bays a mass of correspondence in the archives cl this department, from a variety of Bources, mncl of which was unprejudiced, and some of which has beeu biased by prejudice or interest, appeared to demonstrate the follow ing poifaH: FirsK That the Spanish portion of the Island of San Domingo was sparsely populated. lhe estimates varied from 150,000 to 300,- 000 persons. Those who would appear to have the best opportunities for correct infor mation fixed the number at less than 200,000 Second. That the soil of that part of the island was rich, and capable of a productive power beyond any corresponding extent of tbe Island of Cuba. Tnird. ihut its actual production was greatly diminished by the disturbed state of its civil and political society, caused partly by the Spanish inva sion, partly by tne cnaructer of tha popula tion, una largely uy tne aggressive poliuy of the neighboring republic of Hayti. Fourth. That all parties, with equal uuani luity, sought refuge from these disturbances in more intimate connection with the United States, which was regarded as the natural protector of republican institutions in tho Western hemisphere. Fifth. That to this end all desired to lease the bay aud peninsula of Samana to the United States for a naval station, as a first step toward ultimate an nexation. Sixth. That the Bay of Samana was the key to tho Mona Channel, was the gate to the Caribbean Sea and the Isthmus of Panama. In June, 1800, the present administration appointed Benjamin S. Hunt to obtain infor mation in regard to the Dominioan Republic, but ill health compelled bim to resign. On tbe 13th ot July. Brevet Brigadier-uen- eral Babcock, who was employed in the Ex ecutive office, and who enjoyed the full con fidence of tbe Government, was, in the place of Mr. Hunt, instructed to proceed to S ta Domingo on the same mission, and sailed from New York about four days after receiv ing bis instructions. Uu his return he made a favorable report, aud he was directed to return to San Domingo in order to aid Mr. Raymond H. Perry, the commercial agent of the Unite) States, in negotiating for the annexation of tbe whole territory of tbe republio to the United btates, and as an alternative proposi tion for a lease of the peninsula and bay of Samana to the United States. A treaty for tbe examination of the territories of the re public and a convention for the lease of tha bay andpeninsulaof Samana were accordingly concluded; This treaty did not receive the assent of the Senate. Mr. cish then reviews tbe Hatch case very briefly, and closes by answering tbe various questions submitted to bim by referring to accompanying documents Tbe Secretary soya all correspondence in the archives of the department tends to show that, should President Baez fail in tbe effort to annex Dominica to tbe United States, the Douular disappointment may find vent iu an other revolution. He has no knowledge of eny obligation which Dominica is under to tbe neighboring republio of Hayti as to debt end liubility, unit-ss sucu obligtr.ions are shown in tue conuueuuui papers trausmiitea WHAT TUE NAVY DID. It arpews from the documents sent to the Senate to-day, by the President, tbat on tbe '20th of January. 1870, Minister Bassett, in Ilayti, addressed a letter to the commander of anv United States ship-of-war, at or near Samana, in which he said that under inHtruo tions from the Government at Washington be bad warned the existing Government of Haytl not to interfere in miy manner tf Douiinica. Retr-Aduif&l Poor iu- former! President Saget, tinder dafe of Port-nii-Friuro, February 10, l7o, of the ariivnl of the Severn, accompanied by the monitor Dictator, and announced to him, uridr instructions from the Government of tbe United Mates, tbat negotiations were then pending between the United States Govern ment and that of Dominica, and that during the existence of this negotiation the United Stas Government. T.ill use all its power to prevent any interference on tbe part of tbe ITnytiens, or any other power, with the Dominican Government Any interference or attack, therefore, by vefseJs under tbe Haytien, or any other Hog, upon the Dominicans, during the pendency of said negotiations, will be consid ned an act of hostility to the flag of the United Sta'es, find will provoke hostility in return. Tbo Haytien Government, through i's Foreign Secretary, on the 1 2th of February, 1870, in a let terjaf.d rested toMinister Bassett, sfiid bis Government was resolved to abstain from till interference in the internal affairs of tbe Dominican Republic, and in a formal manner bad instructed its agents at home aud abroad to act in conformity with this resolu tion, and it had not failed to give similar instructions to itn Consuls at Kingston and Curaroa.
