INVASION OF ct. DOMINGO by THE TROOPS OF HAYr
The undersigned agents OF Great Britain and France,
nfom OF the military pIepara ions which have been
from their respective governments an orcer to make
known to the Minister for Foreign Relations of his Majesty
the Em1er how painful 1t would be to them the
wnk Of mediation between the two parts Of the island
ii te-Iupted by renewa, OF hosties which have not
provoked by the inhxbauts Of the eastern provn
ces ard the beginning Of which, the contrary, most
generally originated vi. h the Hsytien government.
The undersigned forbear to remind your Excellency
have never ceased to show for the continuation Of
the truce between the TWO naioaaies OF the island
and Of the satisfaction with which they beheld
his Majesty the Emperor associate hirns If on va
ricus occasions with the feelings OF huManity,
which, in this respect have directed their proseedings
those sentiments and the circums sances which gave
them birth have undergone any change, and the
government IN 1st have been aware OF the ad
vsntsges Of peace to the State however incomplete it
may have been and OF the utility of those conctia0ry
suggestions to their true interest.
The mediation they have offered to both the begerent
parties still continuing to exist it would BE- contrary to
all rules Ct inter national law well to tia prnc
Of civilization TO have to armed force before
they have exhausted all the Of conciaion whico
the intervening Powers occupied In endeavoring to
obtain sprtenent upon, and which they still hater
themselves will be accepted.
In the meantime, Eng and and France cauros look With
indifference upon invasion Of the Dom"''.n territory,
long they have not interrupted their mediation
and the undersigned would not perform the duty which
iacubent them, if they aid not protest against any
renewal Of hostiitss
In accordance with these sentiments they declare they
will inform the Admiras commanding the naval forces
their respective na3ns Of the intended departure Of the
Hsyteu feet entTeatins them at the same time to take
as p Ss 5sdgs TO
assurance Of their high consideration.
