—Some time in 1849, Mr. King, of Georgia, then a member of the House of Representatives, made a speech on the subject of the recognition of the independence of Hayti, in which he gave a brief history of the manner in which the Dominicans were brought under the yoke of the Haytians. In 1821, the Spanish part of the island of St. Domingo declared its independence of Spain, and sent commissioners to ask admission as one of the States of that republic. The Colombians were then too much engaged with their own affairs to undertake the defence of the Dominicans. Spain, engaged in the vain effort of reclaiming her other more populous and valuable colonies, left the Dominicans to themselves. Boyer, then president of Hayti, called out his whole military force, and passing the frontier, under pretence of aiding the Dominicans, took possession of the country, and annexed it to Hayti.

the support of which all Spanish America had

celebrated university of Sto. Toinas de Aquinas,
of the city of Santo Domiugo, was closed; its
