bvtie lo-daj Baj-s:
The Hhuio DomiDgo Commissioners, Messrs.
Made, White, aud lloe, arrived here to-uight,
aiciiUij an.ed by Mecietary burton, Geueral
biuel, and Fred. Douglass, Dr. Wheelwright
out! Captalu Wade, Clerks lo Commissioners;
Dr. Perry, untnralist; three or four newspaper
cotrti-pondeuis, and the two steuographers of
the expedition. Mr. Wade was taken ick last
iilfcht on the cars, with pleurisy, was unable to
sit up to-duy, aud upon his arrival was couveyed
to the let-ideuce ot Vice President Colfax. 1'ne
anack, although not of a serious nature, was
Hillicieiit to cuute great auxiety ou tUe part of
bis friends, who tear that Mr. Wade's age and
Lis full habit may prove berious obstacles to his
recoveiy. At a late hour to-ulght te was much
be tier, and his recovery is deemed certaiu.
1 be expedition, as you are already aware, left
Poi t-au-Prince ou ttie 10th iust., wlttt the lnteu
tion of going to Kingston, Jamaica, iu order to
coti.muniinte with tue Government; aud, if
Cohgress bsd adjourned at the time of the
arrival at Kingsiou, it Is probable that Dr.
Howe would have returned to liaytl aud Sauto
Domingo, in order to still further prosecute in
quiries, particularly regarding the opluions of
Cabral and Lis followers, their force, aud also
the condiilou of Hayll. This idea was subse
quently ahandoi.ed, aud it wa decided that the
KiiumiHsiuueis bad covered ail the iuquirtes re
quired by the l evolutions of Congress. 'Hie
Keutuer Teuuestee after coaling left for Key
Wttit. and thence weut directly for Charleston.
t. C, lib all ou board, it being tbe intention
to send the entire expedition ashore at that
place, in order that they might reach Washing
ton as early as possible.
It reiuied ery doubtful that tbey would be
enabled to go ashore, ou account of the he ivy
res, and tbe reveuue cutler which had been tele
giupLed for Iroin Key West was not in sight
when tbe leuuesree came to anchor outside
Char let ton bar. A pilot boat was slguatled,
Lowever, and Into that, like so many cattle, the
three couimlcsiouers aud tbe remainder of the
parlv were loweied from tbe Teuuessee's deck,
each being tied to a board by ropes. With much
oilliciilty aud some dauger the fourteen geutle-
men, with bag aud baggage, were safely uacked
away on the deck of tbe little pilot
loaf, on Sunday morning at about 9.
1 hey had hardly got up sail before the
Hack bull or the revenue-cutter JNausemnd
was seen pulling around the point, aud before
they were a mile from the now historic Teuues
see, she bad their line, and was whipping them
tlm ugh tbe waters of the bay at a fearful rata,
and ftivlng them an unwelcome and a very cold.

the thoughtful attention of Colonel Robb, Col
lector ot Savannah, tbe baggage was hastily
placed on wagons and driven to tbe depot, to
which iioint tbey were also hurried, it e party
arrived just lu tune to get the baggage checked
and t-elect seats, and without being au hour in
tbe city they were rattling alorg on tbe track,
bound Homeward, while the rest oi the party
(about fifteen In number) were taking advautae

A tumor is current to-uight that the admin
istration has decided to drop the Sao Domingo
business for the sake of harmonizing tbe Re

the change ef policy, the report of tbe commis
sioners will conclude with a recommendation
lhat nothing further be done towards annexa
tion at present ou accouut of the state ot civil
war existing in a lame portion of tbe island.
This report can be traced to do trustworthy
f-ouice, and has probably been occasioned by
tbi statement of Senator Morton In bU speech
to-day, that, if the commissioners' report suould
be adverre to annexation, be would be in favor
of abandoning the project. This declaration
was thought to have some important signifi
cance, lu view of the fact that correspondents
with tbe. expedition have announced that the
cnnimlrsiouers are unanimously ia favor of an
vexation. When the Santo Domingo party were about
to tit down to dinner to-Jay, ou the steamer

London, March 28. A correspondent who re
cent'y interviewed Napoleon at Wilhelmshoho
says he expressed the belief that France was
drifting to anarchy, which might not be confined
to her alone.
II Denounced the National Assembly
as illegally and unfairly chosen, and not repre
sentative of the will of the people. lie said
that
HI. Thfera was a Bntart Wire-puller,
who would do anything to retain power, and de
fended himself from various calumnies. In re
ply to a question whether he intends to retire to
private life, Napoleon said: I do not think that,
strictly speaking, it should be called private
life.
All my Efforts
shall be unceasingly directed against the rebels
who have conspired for the ruin of France,
which is tbe otily hope to them of carrying; put
their sinister designs. These men I will force
to make amends to
ily Paor People,
which they can only do by asking directly after
their will and then submitting to it without
opposition. An energetic government with
honest men may soon
Ileal Up ihe Wound, of France,
but the power and authority of these same men
would be blasted at the outset, did they not re
ceive it immediately out of the hands of the
people.
Correspondent Your Majesty knows too well
the sentiments of my countrymen than to doubt
that all their wishes are for a prosperous
Republican t.overnuieot la France.
In case this should prove Impossible, only
then do I believe thai the ijrrofc najorlty of
them would rather see a Napoleonic dynasty, on
the basis of a plebiscite than the Orleanlsts or
Bourbons on their claim of inherited and divine
rights. Still I cannot give up all hope that
France may succeed in establishing a durable
and thriving republic.
Emperor Your President,
Ueaeral Uraat.
des not seem to share such a hope, for to a cer
tain extent he seems to foresee with much oli
tlcal acumen the
Eaily l ollnp.oof Our Pseado Republic.
How else could he have emptied such a cor
nucopia of panegyric over the monarchlco
fcderal system of new Germany ?
Another correspondent who
later vie wed Cardinal Aatonelll
reports him to have said relative to the Italian
Parliament: "They are occupying themselves
with guarantees. Guarantees! We know that
Jesus Christ gave to tbe Holy Father the right,
as his successor and the successor of the Apos
tles, to rule Ills Church, but we never knew
before now tbat he bequeathed to them (the
Italians) the permission or duty to concoct
'guarantees' for the purpose of establishing
after what way the Church shall be governed;
guarantees which all Catholics on the face of
the earth, and the Pope first of all ('s papt tout
U premier) will refuse to accept Oh! there is
no transaction possible with them. You can say
so. There will never be any between them aud
the Church."
Paris, March 27. The Offloiel Journal ot the
Central Committee, in an editorial, says the
Flr.t Ta.U of the Newly. elocled MaalclpaUty
will be tbe compilation of the charter that will
secure tbe rights of the people and prevent ths
representation of large towns from being
swamped by the country. An article In the
same journal demands that all matters essen
tially Parisian must be within tbe domain of
tne commune. La Kouwlle Jiepublique advises
the commune to
Pronounce ibo Dlakolatloa of the Assembly
and lbe Impeachment of the members.
La Verite says the deputies from Paris to the
National Assembly have
Deleruila.d lo Koalaa.
and merely await the opportunity.
The came journal says
A New Ministry
will soon be formed, which will Include the
Duke de Bragl.c for Foreign Affairs, and Marshal
MacMahon for the War Office. The Conserva
tives were successful in Su nday's elections only
in tbe arrondiseements of the Bourse, Louvre,
