England. The citizens of Les Cayes ask that it expel Rivière Hérard from Kingston.

Haitian

Passing to counsels addressed to the President of Haiti, the signers of the Act exhort him “to prevent the evil rather than be reduced to repressing it.” They add that “international law does not permit a State to grant asylum to an individual who conspires the ruin of a neighboring and friendly State; that a thousand examples from the history of Nations support this truth, and they end by begging the President to ask Great Britain for the expulsion of Rivière Hérard from Kingston (Jamaica), because he keeps alive in Haiti the fire of internal divisions.”
