SummaryResumen

A correspondent in the City of St. Domingo, writing on July 15, 1848, describes the President's decree of February 22 organizing the civic guard, under which foreigners were also required to enroll after three months' residence, furnish their own uniforms and arms, and face arrest, fines and, for a third offense, incorporation into the troops of the line. The French consular representative and the United States commercial agent at Puerto Plata both protested, and the President modified the decree on March 28 so that foreigners, who enjoy no political rights, could not be made part of the permanent army and would face only arrest and the small prescribed fines.
