SummaryResumen

The *Daily National Intelligencer* reported that the Haitian army under President Soulouque was completely routed in the Dominican Republic, leaving behind numerous dead, artillery, munitions, and captured battle flags. Dominican forces recaptured Azua on April 21, with General Santana advancing across the border in aggressive pursuit.

The Haytien army

A letter dated at the city of St. Domingo on the

24th says that Soulouque’s army left the field off

battle covered with dead and wounded.

All their

artillery, munitions, and two flags fell into our:

hands. Among the dead have been recognised I

three generals, the trophies obtained from whose

bodies, and one of the flags, belonging to the 22d i

battalion of the 30th regiment, have been receiv-1

ed at St. Domingo. The report of our spies is, I

that their whole army is disorganized.”

Verbal reports state that on the 21st April the

town of Azua was recaptured, and Gen. Santa I

marched across the lines which divide the two pro- i

vinces, expressing his determination to be the ag- i

tory of the Dominicans, whom he styles in his mili
