e steamship Quaker City, from Havana, March 25th, arrived to-day. Much excitement existed there on the subject of the annexation of St. Domingo to Spain. It seems that a system of Spanish emigration has been going on to that Island, emigrants being instructed, when the proper time arrived, to hoist the Spanish flag and invoke the protection of Spain. This was done on the 16th, much to the astonishment of the blacks and natives. When the news reached Havana the frigate Blanca, fully armed with a large number of regular troops, was dispatched from the Island on the 23d, and two screw frigates will soon follow with 5,000 regulars. A large naval and military force of 10,000 is said to be on the way from Spain to Cuba. It is stated that Haiti will soon share the same fate as St. Domingo, with the consent of France. The steamer Mohawk arrived at Havana on Sunday. A million of dollars are said to be en route from Spain to said the metal circulation on the Island.

The appeal to the Dominioans, which has been published, was more than two months old, and a letter from Havana, dated the 28th, speaks of an expedition being only ready to leave. By some it is believed that a revolutionary fracas had broken out, which could not be quelled by the regular authorities, and that aid has been asked of the Captain-General of Cuba. This island has been the seat of frequent political disturbances and of bloodshed. From the time of its discovery by Columbus in 1492, the portion of it now seized remained for three hundred years a Spanish colony, till 1796, when it was ceded to the French.--The other portion of the island now called Hayti had at a previous period been transferred from Spain to France by the bold seizure of it by the Buccaneers. The Spanish colony embraces the largest part of the island and has not been
