ST. DOMINGO.

The fate of St. Domingo, says the Newburyport Herald, appears suspended on a thread. That city is surrounded by the victorious and ferocious army of blacks, which has carried destruction in every quarter marked by its footsteps. Within the walls are about four thousand Spanish and French troops; who have no alternative but to conquer or die. They are commanded by General Ferrand, whose ferocity falls but little short of that of Dessalines or Christophe. He has exercised the most cruel deaths on the blacks who have fallen into his hands—and they know it.
