We, have been favored with the follow.
Ing particulars respecting the operations
Of our army at Santo. Domingo, sommu-
ricated by an Officer present, dated Ju.
iy7.
"The British Flag is now flying on the
walls Of Santo' Domingo. AS rapid and
bold movements were the surest means of
success with brave enemy, General Car
michael established his head quarters in
the srst instance at St. Carlos, under the
muzzles of the enemy's guns. He refu-
sed the French Generals request for an
arnristice, pressed him within his walls
with advanced piquets, and curt off his
communication with the strongest post
and Fort.Jeromc. A storming party of
the Royal Irish, under Major Walder, in
his front; an intercepted correspondence
and prisoners taken |; the enemy seemed
determined not to lay down their arms.
On the Sd the enemy requested Commits
sioners might meet TO arrange articles OF
capitulation. The enemy's proposal of
the garrison being put on It's parole, and
allowed to GO to France, was peremptori-
" refused by General Carmichael. On
the s,h scaling ladders and all other pre-
partitions for an assault being in readiness,
the columns of 500 British troops were
formed within musket shot, when Gener-
al Carmichael sent a messenger 10 the
French General, giving the option of d
surrender or an assault with its conse-
quences, allowing an hours consideration.
AT the expiration of that time General
Carmichael sent Major Twigg to know
the cause Of white flag being hoisted
which was ascertained to announce The
surrender of the garrison as prisoners OF
war. The general is now employed in
returning good for evil to Jamaica, by his
endeavors to promote its commercial in.
terests with the Spanish Commandant,
who seems cordially disposed to prove his
friendship and gratitude TO the English.
Return of French 1900 regulars and soc
militia. The Britith force for the assault
amounted TO 528 rank and file.''
A letter from an Officer in the Santo
d smingo Expedition, dated st. Carlos, Ju.
ly 7, 1909, says, We have just time 10
inform you of the city having surrendered
without any resistance. We have expert.
enced considerable inconvenience from the
incessant rain, AID no place but hu,
to shelter us in. We landed a week
since at 40 miles distance, and had 10 pass
a very rugged and uneven country, full oil
rivers Little or no assistance has been
received from the Spaniards. In about
TWO days time we shall enter the city,"

-ANNIHILATION OF THE POPEs
TEMPORAL POWER.

Rome, June 1Ofh, 1909.
This morning, at 10 o'clock, has been
published, in the principal places, at the
sound of the artillery of fort Saint pge,
Q decree Of his majesty the emperor and
king, which unites the States of the Pope
TO the French empire. This happy change
has taken place with the greatest tranquil
i,y, and the inhabitants of Rome have
manifested grea, Joy and lively scknow-
Judgement of an-event which puts an end
TO all The uncertainties OF their political
existences This decree, dated from the
iInpsriai camp at Vienna, II May, 1909,
is conceived as follows;-
NAroLKsN, Sc.
Considering that when Charlie magne
Emperor ofthe French, and our august pre-
decesso-, presented the bishops Of Rome
with divers tracts OF land (contrees) they
were granted to them as feudal tenure,
ta secure the repose of his subjects, with.
on, Rome having ceased on that account
to make part of his empire,
Considering that since that period the
union Of the two powers, spiritual and
temporal, having been, as it sill is at this
present day, the source of continual dis.
made use of the influence OF the one TO
support the pretensious Of the other; and
that in consequence OF ii, the spiritual aE-
fairs, which, by their nature are immuta.
bic, are COMPOUNDED with the temporal,
which change according TO circumstances
and the policy ofthe times
Considering, lastly, that every thing We
have Proposed to concliiate the safety of
our armies, the tranquility and welfare of
our people, the dignity aud integrity of
our empire, with the temporal professions
oil the Popes, has been proposed in vain :
Wehave decreed, & do decree as follows (;
Art. ]. The States of the Pops are reu.
nited to the French empire.
2. The city OF Rome, the FIRST Chris.
tan See, and so celebrated by the recollec-
tons which she enf0rces on the mind, and
she monums Dts she preserves, is declared
an imperial and free city. Its govern
ment and administration shall be regulat.
ed by special decree.
3. The monuments OF Roman greatness
shall be preserved and kept up at the ex.
pence OF our treasury.
4. The public debt is declared debt
Of the empire.
S. The present income of the Pope
shslI be extended to two millions Of francs
free from all charges and tenure.
6. The properties and palace Of the
Pope shall be subjected In no imposi, ju
risdiction, or visit, and shall besides enjoy
special immunities.
z. An extraordinary ConsuItum shall
on the,lst of June next, take possession,
IN osr name, of the States of the Pope,
and make the necessary arrangement so
that the constitutional government be in
vigor on the first Of january, 1910.

from this, he endeavared by every strata :
gem in his power. 10 avoid any al mission
that Great Britain had no right to enter on
board our ships of war. We are likewise
told that when Mr.. Canning dispatched his
huitnet shoiu minister, Mr.. Rose, with in .
structions to Offer redress for this heart
renting attack upon our coultry, that we
ought to have dis nissel every thing like
the remembrance of injury and resentment

ed with melody.
Such is the pitiful conduct which the En-
glish party wished Us to have shewn. Yes,
Mr.. Canning knew very ell that the pride
of America would never submit to his
stratagem and arrogance. Great Britain
h,d injured us deeply, and according to e.
very principle of moral and natural JUS
tice, she ought frankly to have unfolded
the terms of reparation.
But instead of this, she considered her
self insulted, because we had even dared TO
adopt precautionary step oprevent SINH /.
lar injuries. But Mr., K. says that LIE MI
sera6le OLD non imhortation ACT was the
cause which prevented Great Britain from
coming to terms of accommodation. Does
Mr.. X. wish tn find an excuse for Britain
in being thus SLOW and indifferent in the
way of Justice? Does not the British mi.
mister thro' the medium OF Mr.. Rose, pc.
remptorily state that he w II offer no pro.
positions until the proclamation is repeat
ed With the British ministry then, the
proclamation is the impeachment, bat Mr..
K. seems inclined to insist upon it that they
