BxensUs.ssws Baes, President Of the Republic, to the
Dominican People:
An armed force, composed of n column of Hay
ten Infantry, with its corresponding corps Of cav
airy, has dared TO pass the line of the Dominican
advarced post, called La CaIeta, on the Southern
frontier, on the 29th May last, and marched on to
Pcstrer Rio, Notwithstanding the fire from the
garrison Of that post, which retired to the second
river about 3 O'Clock in the evening. Our troops
being there reinforced, they opened fire early in
the morning OF the following day, the 30th,
through the narrow passes, and as the day
cleared, they q0ickenel their fire until 10 clock,
by which time the enemy, being routed and COM
pIeteiy put 10 fight, were pursued by our troops,
who kept up an active fire, which left bloody
traces Of the injury it did the enemy:
The brave Dominicans continued without dis
may the pusuit Of the routed invaders, and on the
same day took possession of the post of Caleta,
resolved not to suspend their fire until the enemy
had retired within his own limits. These events
have been communicated by three official reports
transmitted by the General commanding the COM
mune of Mayba, who adds, in postscript, that
the route of the enemy was so complete that the
families in the neighborhood, who had left their
houses, Immediately returned to occupy them,
and that tranquility was perfectly re-established.
He also promised 70 give more detailed account,
after visiting the field Of battle.
Donsl~icams Our arms, protected by Providence,
will continue az they have hitherto been, VIC
torious in rspelng invasion, and preventing the
occupation Of our territory by the Haytiens
The present aggression Of the enemy is manifest
violation Of the truce stipulated. We have fu-
filed our duty in repelliDg them, and until its
cessation is notified by the proper and accustomed
measures, we will continue faithfully to comply
with it according to the custom among civilized
nations.

Domnicans! The savage enemies Of our inde
pendence have again attempted to insult our from
tiers, and abusing our good faith they wished to
surprise US by presenting themsevesas emissaries
Of peace on one point, whilst on the other they
were meditating giving us severe blow by men
acing the population of Msyba.
Our brave people, led by that gallant Colonel
Joaquin Aybar punished their treachery on the
field OF Postrer Rio, and defeated their projects,
by routing their troops, compelling them to throw
away their arms, sre-pass their lines, and seek
safety in the woods.
New laurels crown the brows Of our brave peo-
pie, and our cause is again justified before the
civilized world by another per6dy the part of
our rash aggressors.
Soldiers! The truce which in reality existed
.,~~Jth tha I I n.
driving them back from our frontiers, and dis
persing their mercenaries with fear and terror, and
converted into an armistice by the intervention Of
powerful nations, the friends of humanity. Lis
tening to their counses, you desposed your arms
and yon resume them when this attempt on the
part ofthe enemy, made IN defiance OF the media
ting powers, had broken the truce, and compelled
us to make preparations for resistance. We hope
new triumphs will await you. The government
will, in the meantime, denounce this act to the
world
Dominicans! forgetting your achievements and
their conditions az the conquered party, our ty-
rants call upon you to obey them in defiance of
your rights, and without any respect to the gov
srnmsnt established by your spontaneous will
They speak Of peace, who are devoured by anar
chy and a bloody war Of castles. Our indepen-
dence 10 already incontrovertible fact, ac-
knowledged by powerful nations, who maintain
diplomatic relations with the republic. There
are few nations who do not homer the flag which
we have hoisted in this palladium Of liberty. Let
our enemies come and lower it il they can. Let
them continue careless and inadvertant, and accus-
tom US to conquer them, and the time will NOT be
distant when being forced to live as good neigh
bora, they will cease to scandalize civilization by
their crimes, and by their rooted feelings Of hatred
towards the race Of the. human species.
