On the 21st ultimo a vigorous combat occurred between

the hostile armies, consisting on the one hand of the 1 Ithand

22d Haytien regiments, numbering together only filOmen, and

on the other of 1,500 Dominicans and their insurgent allies.

The latter were protected by the strong post of Kesolu and

Cachiman.

The battle lasted for four hours, during which

the firing did not cease, and at intervals portions of the two

armies contended fiercely hand to hand.

The result was the

abandonment of the field by the Dominicans, leaving their

dead and wounded behind them.

Their loss is represented as

considerable, while that of the Haytiens was but four killed

and twenty-six wounded.

The Haytien army immediately prepared to attack Fort

Cachiman, and their preparations held out such prospect of

success that the enemy abandoned the post in the night of

I the 22d and 23d, and on the morning of the latter the Haytien

flag waved over its ramparts.
