some important intelligence by the fine bn%' Hun

tress, Capt Baker, from Port au Piatt. She sailed

thence on the 24th ult. It appears by the news, that

a Dominican fleet of five sail leftJPort au Platt^on the

19th, to attack Cape Haytt. About 4000 troops were

also despatched by land to attack the same.pLace.?

A decree had been issued by President Santa Anna,

of the Dominican part of the Island, previous to the

sailing of Capt. Baker, to compel all foreign resi

dents, including Americans, to take up arms and to

act as a civic guard. They, of course, protested

aguinst such a procedure, which protest wrh imme

diately sent to the President, but no answer had

been received.

enforced, or attempted to be enforced, till the mid.

an enemy who knows nothing of the principles of reason j

and of justice.
