SummaryResumen

A Herald correspondent reports arriving at St. Domingo City on February 3 after a thirty-five hours' passage from Samana, and describes the so-called harbor as a poor roadstead the Tennessee could not leave, where vessels roll heavily even in a light land breeze. In the morning the ship fired a salute of twenty-one guns, which the Dominican fort returned, and the correspondent describes St. Domingo as a quaint, ancient and dilapidated town of seven or eight thousand inhabitants, the oldest place built by Europeans in America.

Un corresponsal del Herald informa de su llegada a la ciudad de Santo Domingo el 3 de febrero tras una travesía de treinta y cinco horas desde Samaná, y describe el llamado puerto como una mala rada que la Tennessee no podía abandonar, donde los buques se balancean pesadamente aun con una ligera brisa de tierra. Por la mañana el buque disparó una salva de veintiún cañonazos, que el fuerte dominicano devolvió, y el corresponsal describe Santo Domingo como una ciudad pintoresca, antigua y derruida de siete u ocho mil habitantes, el lugar más antiguo construido por europeos en América.
