The News.
The Quaker City,arrived at New York from
Havana, brings intelligence that San Domingo
(that portion of the Island of Hayti occupied by
the Dominican Republic), has been annexed to
Spain. Spain, who has long been desirous of
obtaining possession, it appears prepared the
way by a system of emigration, and at the
proper time these emigrants have raised the
Spanish lla g and invoked the protection of
Spain. Three frigates with a force of soldiers
011 board, immediately left Havana for the
island to consaimmate ytie Annexat ion. It was
believed that the annexation of the remainder
of the island, occupied by the'P.epublic of
/13)1i, uoul,d soon follow, with the consent of
Prance. A naval and military force of ten
thou'and men are said to be on the way from
Spain to Cuba: Among the passengers from
Havana by the Qugker City are Ex-President
Miramon, of Mexico, and his family.
' The Peris correspondent of the New York
Times announces that France and England are
fitting nut a powerful fleet of war steamers for
the United States coast. The suggestion
came from England. France furnishes three
first class frigates, and the English contingent
will perhap be larger. The fleet will sail
with sealed orders. Spain is also preparing to
send a formidable force to the Gulf of Mexico.
The announcement may perhaps be in advance
of the fact, bnt such a measure upon the part
of Prance and En t la .d, it.; the race of the un
settled and threatening cormition of affairs
here, is too probable not to gain general
credence. A year ago such a demonstration
by any foreign power, or even the seizure of
San Domingo by Spain, as announced above,
would have aroused a storm of suspicion and
of patriotic excitement throughout the Union.
/law we will have to accept it as part of the
hurnihat ion which is to be endured as the pen
alty of our national disruption.
The Legieinture of ljissouri are not disposed
to follow the recommendation of the State

A despatch from New Orleans states that

Chi the 21. it instant, Covernor Houston and

The steamship Daniel Webster, employed
as a United States transport, arrived below

have proved entirely fruitless.
The Secessionists in the Virginia Le,gisla
tnte are striving to make capital of the pro.
posed removal of guns from the Bellona Foun
dry, near Richmond, to Fortress Monroe.—
Resolutions were passed authorizing the Gov
ernor to resist the removal of the guns by
armed foriee of necessary. It is understood
!hat the delivery of the guns was in piirsii
mice of a contract made long before the com
mencement of our present tiotibles, and as the
Government does not want them, the only
person suffering will bo the contractor, who
receives no pay until tho guns are delivered.
The. Postmaster at Chicago has been sum.
matily removed by the President on account

United States troops lately taken from Texas.
Faits Jefferson, Tortugas, and Fort Taylor,

Steamers Borussia and New York, arrived

Mr. Win. 11. Ward, editor of the "Key of

various items of news (some new, and others
but a repetition of prey sous accounts), which
the telegraph furnishes us. By an arrival at
Key West we have a confirmation of the
seizure ot Dominica by Spain, with the addi
tiorial feature that a 'French corvette had as.
sisted the Spanish authorities in making the
seizure. Ex-President Miramon is not at
Havana, as the despatch states, but at New
York, where he arrived :rune days since. A
report was current at Havana that a British
and French fleet was shortly to assemble at
Vera Cruz.

From Texas, Tie New Orleans, we have a
report that Gen. Ampudia, with three thous
and Mexicans, was at last accounts within
sixty miles of Brownsville. The Texans re
port that his object was to plunder Browns
villa and Matamoros, and pillage generally.—
It is also reported that Ampudia has aroused
the Mexicans with the design of re-annexing
Texas to Mexico. Fie announces that as the
Federal Government no longer supports Texas
now is the time to retake her. The Texans
were preparing to repel the invadcis. The
news may be considered doubtful until con
firmed by further advices. The United States
transport steamships Star of the West, Empire
City and Coatzacoalcos were MT Indianola,
accompanied by the gunboat Mohawk. The
Coatzacoalcos had taken on board six hundred
United States troops and sailed the same night

'NC\n altos have re
turned (says a correspondent of the Daily
JVCWS. writing from Amsterdam on the 1:111
ult.) from a visit to the inundated district
of Maas and Waal, and a more saddening
se:no of desolation it is difficult to conceive.
'Between those two ricers were about forty
villages—most of them populous—and about
fifty thousand acre 4 of cultivated land; and
the greater part of this district lies now un

dashed throug't the breach of the dyke—a
breach nearly a quarter of a mile in length
—destroying whatever houses or barns im
peded their progress, have now much dimin
ished in °stoat; though for some time after
the waters had begun to subside they lay
about in huge accumulations—miniature
icebergs. As we passed through the village
of Leaman, knee-deep in mud and slush, the
evidences of this fearful desolation were

Spaniard's. 'l' to only additional particu
lars recived are the roi:0 wing:
Great excitement existed in Ilarana on
the subject of the S, anish annexation of
San Domingo. It appears that during acme
time past a process of colonization has been
going on hr the introduction of large bodi e s
of emigrants into the island, with the view
of promoting Spanish interests and conse
quent disaffection towards the Republican
Government, and nt the first sign of resist
ance on the part of the native population to
invoke the aid of the Spanish Government.
This was accamplishei on the IGth inst.,
when the Alanidi flag was hoisted, much to
the u , nstoruation of the black end loathe
inhabitants. The Spanish frigate Blanca
was despatched from Havana on the 23d,
immediately on the receipt of the above
news, fully.arnsed and equipped, with a
large number of regular troops on board to
assist the Spanish protectorate, or in othet
words, annexation. The screw steam frig

Not a man of them entertained the idea se
indnstriously sought of late. to be injected into
the Virginia popular mind that the policy of the
present Administration is sit aggressive one
upon the South. The result is, that the cause
of the Union is far stronger at this moment
there than previous to the fourth of March,
when the course of the present Government to-
wards the South was uncertain, and was being
