FROM ST, DOMINGO.

We publish below the letter Of protest writ
ten by General Cazneau, United States Com
missioner, to the English and French Consul:
at st. Domingo, which was drawn forth by
menacing display of strong naval force, which
it j. supposed hns been summoned there with
the view and purpose of arresting the free action
| of Dominican Government in its relations with
| the United Stntes. -Four French vesscles oil
war are now Mt that port and an English fleet is
expected
ST. DOMINGO, Nov. H.
The undersigned, commissioner plenpotenti-
ary Of the United States Of America near this
government, having good reasons to know that
! the agents of France and England have, by Va
rious means, aided by menncing display of IN
armed force before this capital, overawed and
controlled the free action of the Dom mncan Re-
public in its relations with The United States,
hereby protests, in the name Of his country,
against this breach Of honorable faith towards
his government, and against this unwarrantable
encroachment upon the sovereign rights Of an
independent American power.
Every enlightened government in anity with
the United States is perfectly informed Of lheir
determined purpose, rs nation, to oppose what
ever measure may be intended 10 subject the
independent nationality of an American people
10 the arbitrary will Of foreign power, or make
its action, and even existence, dependent on the
dicta of . foreign policy; and none of those ma
tons have taken exceptions TO this immutable
principle of the American system.
The United States make no difference in the
application of this rule between the strong and
the weak of their sister republics, and they have
a just right to expect the powerful and magnau-
imous nations of Europe will follow their ex-
ample
These facts being so we'll understood, must
call your particular attention, sir, to this incon-
sderate violation of the relations of amty and
commerce now subsisting between our respcc-
tive countries, in the trust that you, as the res
ponsibc representative Of your government at
this capital, will use the necessary precautions
to gaurd those relations from further disturbance
If Ibis due care should be omitted, the gov
ernment and people of the United States may
conceive they have just cause to dstrust the
sincerity and good faith of any government
whose agents in these waters are there permit
ted 10 interfere in affairs and negotiations be-
longing entirely and exclusively to the interests
of the United States and the. Dominican Re-
public and am confident that you, sir, would
regret equally with myself the consequences
which might result from this unauthorized in
termeddIing with the sanctity and freedom of
inter-American relations
Yours, respectfully,
WM. 7. CAZNEAU.
