SummaryResumen

The *Weekly National Intelligencer* described Dominican efforts following the February 1844 declaration of independence to obtain an official French protectorate at Samaná. Despite repeated Dominican overtures offering protectorate status, ownership, or complete sovereignty to France, King Louis Philippe and later the French Provisional Government declined to assume the role due to diplomatic concerns.

El *Weekly National Intelligencer* reseñó las gestiones entabladas por los dominicanos con posterioridad a la proclamación de independencia de febrero de 1844 para recabar de Francia un protectorado formal sobre Samaná. No obstante los reiterados ofrecimientos de los enviados dominicanos proponiendo la tutela, el dominio o la soberanía absoluta a Francia, el rey Luis Felipe primero y el Gobierno Provisional después declinaron asumir tal patronato en razón de compromisos diplomáticos.

the first engagement it had assumed, by causing the Do

minican movement to be supported by Vice Admiral de

Moges, commander of the West India squadron.

Strong in the alliance which he had secured, Santana

officially proclaimed the independence of St. Domingo on

the 28th of February, 1844, and soon requested the French

Government to instal at Samana the effective protecto

rate stipulated in the treaty of 1843. But neither re

quests nor prayers, nor even the threat of throwing

themselves into the arms of another Power, could over

come the resistance of Louis Philippe to a measure which

might involve some diplomatic complications. From

1844 to 1848 there was a continual interchange of des

patches which led to no result. The revolution of 1848
