sR-I have the honor to present brief rep ,Rt Of my
mission to the Island Of St. Domingo from which have
just returned.
On tho 25th of last January embarked at Norfolk In
Prince tho I'd Of February As possible after
my arrival sought interviews with the agents sf Eng
land and France and the minister OF foreign relations OF
the Haytien government BY the agents was informed
what they had already done in regard to the pashsa
ton Of the island without success
On the first of May left Port Prince in the French
steamer the Crocodile In company with the French
and proceeded TO the city Of st. Domingo There
communicated the result OF our negotiations TO the
Dominican government
1t WAS on with which they could not be wen satisfied;
for though 1t relieved them for the time being from ap
Of attack it did Alo them to lay aside
their and devote themselvos to tho pursuits OF
peace and they expressed strong hope that the three
powers would continue their friendly nterposiGon until
the Independence Of the republic had been secured.
Thst result only be accomplished by coercing the
Haytian government All persuasion and argument are
thrown away upon It, ell Of duty and Justice and
right IL merged by 1t in sauguinary ambition and fero
cous vindictivepss The Domincsus viii hstcA to nc
terms which do not establish their national sover-
eighty which they have long and 80 successfully de-
Tended.
They whuld prefer total extermnation they declare
and A. their conduct to falling again under
the afro despotism which they have shaken off, aad
every confederation OF interest Of justice Of humanity
demands that their Independence should Be placed
secure permanent basis have the honor to be, r,
with great respect, your obedient servant,
