SummaryResumen
The newspaper reports that the U.S. government employed special agents, including Mr. Green (employed by Mr. Clayton) and Mr. M. Walsh (employed by Mr. Webster under the current Administration), as emissaries to St. Domingo. It notes that the Senate requested copies of Mr. Walsh's official correspondence, which was communicated on August 27 and subsequently published in the *New York Evening Post* on the 13th. The publication criticizes these missions as a discreditable violation of the administration's professions of non-intervention in the affairs of a people whose independence has not been recognized.

Señala que el Senado demandó copias de la correspondencia oficial de Walsh, remitidas el 27 de agosto y divulgadas el día 13 en el *New York Evening Post*. La publicación censura estas misiones calificándolas de infracción censurable al principio de no injerencia proclamado por el ejecutivo respecto a un pueblo cuya independencia no había sido convalidada.
SummaryResumen
The newspaper criticizes United States policy toward Hayti, attributing it to slavery-dominated diplomacy and the failure to recognize Hayti's independence. It reports that, following domestic interference and joint bullying with foreign governments, the French have taken possession of Samana as a naval station under the pretext of intervening for Dominica. The publication warns that this acquisition will allow France to monitor American commerce and facilitate hostile actions against the United States in the event of war.
El periódico desaprueba la directriz diplomática de Estados Unidos hacia Haití, imputándola a la servidumbre de intereses proesclavistas y al desconocimiento de su independencia. Afirma que, tras presiones conjuntas con gabinetes europeos e injerencias intestinas, los franceses tomaron posesión de Samaná a guisa de apostadero naval con la excusa de proteger a la República Dominicana. La publicación previene que dicho enclave consentirá a Francia vigilar las rutas mercantiles norteamericanas y propiciar acometidas bélicas contra Estados Unidos en coyunturas de guerra.
