BY way OF st. Thomas. the 10th, we have the follow
ing from -. Domingo
General Baez has sold the island or alta yela, to
o French company, against which the American Con-
sui has protested, and has sent for several men-of
war. II win be rccoected that under Cabral's gov
eminent the said island was sold to Frenchman
named MONTAGUE who was obliged to abandon IL
when Baez came into power. He proceeded to the
United states and there sold the Island to some
Americans for $1,000. This sale Baez ignores, and
has an actpassed declaring 1t Illegal and allowing
him TO sell 1t.
Baez remains intrenched In his capital HIS forces

by the revolutionary party, and he il confined pretty
