SummaryResumen
*The Liberator* reported that the deck of the vessel *Esturra* carried destitute refugees—some formerly wealthy—who had fled following a political confrontation in Port-au-Prince. According to the account, a deputation of influential men questioned President Soulouque regarding the reigning constitution, and upon being told the 1816 constitution was in effect, Senator Celigne Ardoin asserted that Soulouque was not president. When immediate orders were given for his arrest, Ardoin drew a pistol and fired at Soulouque, though the shot missed its mark.
*The Liberator* reportó que sobre la cubierta del buque *Esturra* viajaban refugiados desamparados —algunos acomodados en el pasado— que huyeron a consecuencia de una refriega política en Puerto Príncipe. Según el relato, una comisión de personalidades interpeló al presidente Soulouque sobre el régimen constitucional imperante, y al responderles éste que regía la carta de 1816, el senador Céligny Ardouin replicó que Soulouque carecía de investidura presidencial. Al dictarse su inmediata detención, Ardouin extrajo una pistola y descerrajó un tiro contra Soulouque, sin acertar en el blanco.

told that the deck of the Esturra presented a most
distressing appearance—men, women, and children,
were lying about with scarcely raiment to cover
them. Some of them are said to have been wealthy,
but were glad to escape with but one suit of clothes
on their persons.
As there are none of the passengers by this arrival
who come from Port-au-Prince, there are, as was to
be expected, different versions given of the cause of
their flight. It appears, however, from what we
have heard, that the following may be relied upon as
a correct statement of what took place. A procla
mation was issued by the President of Port-au-Prince
on the 6th ult., which was disapproved of by a large
portion of the inhabitants. In consequence of this, a
deputation, composed of some of the most influential
men of the country,waited upon President Soulouque,
requiring to know from him if the Constitution of
1816 or that of 1846 was the Constitution of the day.
He replied to Senator Celigne Ardoin (one of the
deputation) that the Constitution of 1816 was the
new order of the day. M. h rdoin then said, if that
was the case, then under that Constitution he,
Soulouque, was not the President of Hayti.
This was rather too much for this despot—he
would not be thus bearded in his own palace, and
immediately as the words issued from M Ardoin’s
lips, orders were given to arrest, him. Upon this he j
stepped back, and drawing a pistol he had with him, i
discharged its contents at the President. This, from
some cause or other, took no effect, many persons
going so far as to say that Soulouqiwe, knowing that
