SummaryResumen
Based on the provided excerpt, a letter from Hayti published in the *Journal du Havre* contradicts reports of a declaration from Emperor Soulouque, though the Dominican nation remains ready to resist any potential invasion while its country is tranquil and preparing for a January 1 presidential election. The article notes that General Geffrard's reported successful insurrection could open a new chapter in the island's wars, and provides geographic and demographic statistics for the island, which is divided between Hayti and the Dominican republic. Additionally, it describes the island's capital, military forces, climate, and soil, noting that productiveness has declined due to corrupt rule.
A tenor del fragmento reproducido, una correspondencia procedente de Haití inserta en el *Journal du Havre* desmiente la versión de un bando atribuido al emperador Soulouque, persistiendo la nación dominicana en firme apresto para rechazar cualquier intento de invasión, al tiempo que el país goza de sosiego y se prepara para los comicios presidenciales del 1 de enero. El suelto apunta que el triunfo insurreccional del general Geffrard podría abrir una nueva etapa en las guerras de la isla, consignando cifras demográficas y geográficas de la partición territorial entre Haití y la República Dominicana. Describe finalmente la capital insular, su fuerza militar, el clima y los suelos, haciendo notar que la fecundidad de la tierra había decaído bajo gobiernos viciados.
