SummaryResumen

The *New-York daily tribune* reported that if France were to take possession of Samana, it would not be an act of usurpation because founders Santana and Deez have persistently offered annexation to France due to their preference for the country. The excerpt states that despite efforts, seductions, and propositions from Great Britain and the United States over nine years, the Dominican leaders have refused them in favor of France, thereby legitimizing a French occupation.

El *New-York daily tribune* sostuvo que si Francia se incautase de Samaná, semejante paso no constituiría usurpación en tanto los próceres Santana y Báez [citado como Deez] brindaron con insistencia la incorporación del país a Francia en razón de su particular predilección por dicha nación. El extracto aduce que, no obstante las propuestas, halagos y tentativas desplegados por Gran Bretaña y Estados Unidos a lo largo de nueve años, los caudillos dominicanos los desecharon inclinándose por Francia, convalidando de ese modo la legitimidad de un apostadero francés.
