in Europe by that ll-advised attempt. The Domn.cans
expressed their true sentiments by continual insurrec

months ago in opening the eyes Of Spain and making her
comprehend the great fault that had been committed ia
her name and feel alarm at the runous expense caused
by The the thousands OF soldiers she would have

Translated from the Journal des Debats OF August
Men do not easily their and are more dis
posed 10 submit TO condemnation or their judgment
than own thcmselves in the wrong; such IS the in
6rmiiy OF human nature General Gandara, under pre-
text Of certain difficulties which have arisen between
him and the chiefs Of the native government IN 81.
Domingo is said u have published proclamation 10
the following cnsct:--1 That in cvacuang the Island
Spain reserves all her rights 10 reincorporate Il, aud
will enforce them whenever she may think proper
2. that war still continues between Spain and
80. Domingo. & That the blockade OF all the
ports and coasts of the Dominican territory Is
maintained Such is the statement given by the Epro
whilst according 10 the torypondeaoio, Spain 10
retain Samnna aud to fortify II a sirategca point,
where the Domnicsns who wish " remain Spanish
subjects may find refuge against the fury Of their
grateful fellow citizens The Domnicans are therefore
ungraeful because they prefer to maintain ther nde
pendence rather than undergo, by becoming spanish
subjects the harsh government which Spain imposes
her colon This reprosch OF ingratitude Is like the
Parhan arrow, discharged at The last moment IL Is
evident that Samana, when fortified, would become
focus OF annexionist ntrigues well calculated
10 serve tho ueor projects Of reincorporaton, which
General candara does not take the trouble TO dis
senble and that the Doinincsns cannot, by any means
allow spain thus 10 retain a footing In their country.
Such seems the present state Of affairs The Span
ish government had imprudently engaged in adven
ture which could have only disastrous results Enlght
ened by painful experience, II took the wise resolution TO
yetrace lis stcps but this retreat, imperously
manded by circumstances we know not what unhappy
revival of ambition what false shame, holds II back and
arrests II midway II cvacustes 81. Domingo without
evacuating IT, and " makes peace with the Domincans
without putting an end the war; Ths evil u has done
has been done eaectivrly bat wnen would do good
bestates and does II badly
