The details of a grievance said to have teen sustained lately by the Haytian Government at the hands of Washington Cabinet have just transpired , and seem without importance . About a year back a party Americans established theniselves in the island of vaza , about thirty miles from the Haytian eoast , which is claimed as a dependency of that country ; their object being to ship cargoes of guana . The Haytian Govern ment sent two commissioners to examine , who found a regular establishment , consisting of a wlarf , boats , houses , and fifty workmen , provided with weapons , and their guano was being actively collected . Thereupon the Haytian Government sent a protest to Washington , and waited the arrival of orders to the interlopers to withdraw . On the 15 th of August last , two American men-of-war visited Hayti and notified that so far from the Washington Cabinet having any intention to comply with the request made , . the vessels had come to protect the alleged intruders , and to warn tlie Government of Hayti not to interfere with them . The ground assigned was that by an Act of Congress of 1856 , the American Government had been authorised to protect citizens of the United States who may discover guano in any island " not within thelawful jurisdiction of any other Government . " The Haytian Government then sent a new protest to Washington , and in this position the , affair at present stands . It is evident from the notice given that the United States are disposed to deny the . Haytian jurisdiction . , _ 1
