voys and it is in virtue of con-
tracts, entered into between Def
lalines and American merchants,
that the latter Gend him fupplies
and munitions of war.


Iadd, Sir, 10 the letter, which
| have the honor 10 write TO you,
a copy of Gcntence given at
Halifax, in the matter Of a mer-
chant of New-York, who had
conveyed into the reyoited part
OF ST. Domingo, three carr0cs
lof gun-powder, and who was
taken on his return by an Eng
lilh frigate,


If even in the Englidi tribunal
where this prize was condsnn-
ed, the whole Iland of St. Dc
mingo, was conGdered as I
French colony, how can the fed
ieral government tolerate that the
.rebels Of this colony, ihould con
.tinue 10 receive from America,
fuccors againa The parent coun-
try 1t is impoaible that
government ihould be ignorant
OF the ornaments making in its
ports. Too much publicity IS
given to them, not to render It
reiPop(ble, and it ought to per
celve thatit is contrary to every
iyttem of peace and good friend
Lhip, to fuf;er longer il its ports,
srmaments evidently directed a.
gainit France.


Without doubt the federal
government would not with in
order to favor certain private
ipeculations, to give new facuI-
ties to rebellion and robbery
{ brigandsge the toierence of
a commerce f. !candalous would
be unworthy Of it. Neither
your government nor his ma
jelfy can be any longer indifer-
snt to ii; and as the ferioufnefs
of the facts which occafon this
complaint, obligeS his majeIty TO
eonfder as good prize every
thing which ihall enter the ports
Of St, Domingo, occupied by the
rebels, and every thing coming
out, he pllGuades himielf that
the government Of the United
States, will take, on its part, a.
gainlt this commerce, at once IL
licit and contrary to all the prin-
cipIes ofthe law of nations, all
the reprefhve and authoritative
meaGures proper TO put an end
20 IT, MS iyltem OF lmpunIty
and intolerance" can no longer
continue, snd his najefy is cor.
yinced, that your governmea
will think it dive from Ire rr-
nels promptly to put ?
it.


Receive, fir, the aG-lga
Of my high confederation.
