IMPORTANT From SANTO DOMINGO.

We have dates from Sauto Domingo to Sept. ,, by
which We learn that the revolution installed Dy San
tans against President Valverde has been successful
without battle, because Vaverdes troops would not
fight. On the 2oth of August President Naverde Is
sued the following proclamation, resgning his Office:
o.e Dsdero Pairerd Presideatot the Republic 70 tie Roa
o,ahe Memteys of the Senatc:
FELLow-CTIzESs; My election to the first magls-
of the country the ut OF the spontaneous
will of the national representatives andmy acceptance
was duty which patriotism imposed upon me-
Having Therefore ascended to go high an elevation,
nv sole desire, my constant thought, to secure
the happiness of my unfortunate country, aud TO use
nv power with an absolute torgeifalness ot my IN
dvdualty in such manner that upon retiring To
private life should leave behind the traces of order
and moral and material progress, and that my con-
science should not torment me with the bitter recolec-
tion OF tears shed in consequence Of my ms-govern-
mcnt. But so desirable perspective was based upon
the expectation of the constant and unanimous support
of all sections Of the Republic: and you have seen
that nv administration had hardly commenced, when
a portion of cur brethren OF the South pronounced
against the established order Of things, and thus the
work of Improvement which had ceaseessiy occupied
me was paralyZed.
Upon receiving the dsagreeabe news. az you know,
firmly decided to sustain the Institutions which the
nation had established in February last, and the dig
nifty of the high position which occupied, always
counting upon the adhesion OF all the towns TO the IA
cred principles Of liberty proclaimed upon the memo
be 1th of Jnly. In short, you saw me adopt meas
ures eminenty calculated 10 insure public tranquility
and which at the time tended to save the just
and legitimate which represented. But all the
towns of the South have seconded the pronuncamento
of Santo Domingo and unhapply this causeless
movement has commenced to invade the very cradle
of the principles oi which appeared to be the living
personca,ion-that is, it has penetrated already to
some of the towns oi the ClbGO.
Under such circumstances, the duty OF patriot,
lavng aside all personal views requires Ot mel that
suffocating in my bosom my dignity as a solder, l
should avoid the effusOn of blood ana all the calam
ties consequent upon an honorable bat irutless resist
ence Therefore after having obtained and accepted
the corresponding designations Of my Minister'S Secre
tsries of State accompany them by my own resgna;
ton which tender to you, to save public order, and
To give to the world striking proof OF my devotion
to the sovereign viii Of the majority
expect from the patriotism AMI good teeAng OF my
mellow citizens Of those towns that nave npt YET prV
counced .or the rising of ii. Domingo that thcy VIII
sondnct themselves with that moderation "hlca these
focmn Circumstances 80 imperiously demand.
Understand. honorable Senators, and appreciate 10
It's fill extent how much sefdrnal and love oi my
country there is in the sacrifice which make for hcr,
and do not scrnple To- accept this act OF Justified resg
nation nor lose a moment IN adopting tire most opp0r-
tune Measures to preserve the order aud tranquility
OF the.e towns.
With sentiments Of the most distinguished consider
