Another proclamation from The same TO the same,


Domincans: The savage enemies of our independence
have again attempted to insult our frontiers, and abuse
good faith They wished TO surprise us by presenting
themselves as emssaes OF peace on one point, whilst
the other they medllang giving us a severe
blow by menacng the population OF Mayba
Our brave people, led by The gallant Colonel Joaquin
Aybar, punished their eachery the field OF Postrer
Ro aud defeated their projects by routing their troops,
compelling them to throw away their arms, repass their
lines, and seek safety in the woods
New laures the brows OF our brave people, and
our cause again justified before the civilized world by
another peridy on the part of rash aggressors
Soldiers: The truce which in reality existed since you
conquered the Hayens at Las Carreras, driving them
back from fronles and dispensing their mercenates
with fear and terror converted into armstce by
the Intervention OF powerful nations the friends OF hu-
mainly. Listening 10 their counsels, You deposed your
arms and you resumed them when this attempt on the
part of the enemy, made in defiance OF the medlatng
powers had broken the truce and compelled TO make
preparations for resistance We hope new trumphs will
await you. The government WILL IN the mean time, de.
nounce this act to the world
Dominicans Forgetting your achievements and their
condition the conquered party, our yrans call upon
you obey them in defiance OF your rights and without
respect to the government established by your spon
taneous will They speak OF peace who are devoured
by anarchy and bloody war OF castles. Our ndepend-
ence is already inconrovertbe fact, acknow edged
BY powerful nations who MAINTAIN diplomatic relations
with the republic. There are few nations who do not
honor the flag which have hosed in this palladium
Of liberty.
Let our enemies come and lower it if they can Let
them continue careless and nadverent and accustom
10 conquer them, and the time will not be distant when
being forced live good neg hbos, they will 10
scandaiZe civilization by their crimes and their rooted
feelings Of hatred towards the races OF the human spe
cies.

MILEAGE OF U. S. SENATORS.
The New York Tribune Of Tuesday has
an able article upon the sntjec, Of the Ssna,e's
Double Mileage, showing which Senators
took il, and which refused il:
Several instances are given, where Con.
siiuciive Mileage was largely drawn; and
attention is directed to the unrepesIed Law
on the records Of Congress, which prescribes
that no Member shall receive for Mileage Of
any Session, more han eigh, dollars per day,
from the close Of The preceding to the rxpr.
iuc Of that session for which ,he Mllesge Is
received. The Tribune calls for u public
exptes.,an OF opinion IN the whole matter Of
Mileage, in view Of the approaching Prrs'-
dental Election, when We shall doubtless
have Constructive heroes circulating on the
stump, and figuring IN irsnked pamphlets"
as fe,eal4rs and debouncefs of the ifighiiul
corruption OF the Gaiphin, Gardiner or some
