SAINT DOMINGO. R " ' - ` " •••e•m•mm.w \IL ' REGULATIONS RESPECTING PIELD-LABOUR. TOLIMANT LOUVIATVAE, GLNIRAL IN CNIU et TM! ARMY OF ST. DOMINGO, TO ALL THR CIVIL AND MILITARY OFFICLIIS OF THE ISLAND. Crrizasts—After putting an end to the war in the South, our fiat duty has been to return thanks to the At mien TT, which we have done with a zeal becoming fo great a blefEng. Now, Citizens it is neceffary to confecrate all our moments to the pro fperky of St. Domingo, to the public tranquillity, and confequently to the welfare of our Fellow. citizens. But to attain this end in an effeanal manner , all the Civil and Military Officers muff make it • their battlers, every one in their refpeaive depart ments, to perform the duties of their offices with devotion and attachment to the public welfare. You will eafily conceive, Citizens, that Agricul ture is the fupport of Government; fince it is the foundation of Commerce and Wealth, the fource of Arts and Incluftry, it keeps every body em ployed, as being the mechanifin of all trades: and from the moment that every individual becomes ufeful, it creates public tranquillity - ; difturbances difappear, together with idlenefs, by which they are commonly generated, aad every one peaceably enjoys the fruits of his induliry. Officers, Civil and Military, this is what you mutt aim at; fuch is the plan to be adopted,which I prefcribe to you ; and I declare, in the nwtt pe remptory manner, that it (hall be enforced. My Country demands this falutary ; I am bound , to it by my office, and the fecurity of our Liberties demands it imperioufly. But in order to fecure our Liberties, which are indifpenfible to our happineft, every individual mutt be ufefully employed, fo as to contribute to the public good, and the general tranquillity. Conlidenng that the Soldier, who has facred shales to perform, as being the fafeguard of the People, and in perpetual aaivity to execute the orders of his Chief, either for maintaining interior tranquillity, or for fighting abroa4 the enemies of the Country, is ftrialy fnbordinate to his Superior Officers; and as it is of great importance that overfeers, drivers, and fielcUnegroes, who in like manner have their Superiors, fhould conduit them (elves as officers, fubalterns, and foldicrs; in what ever may concern them. Confidering that, when an Officer, a Subaltern, or a Soldier, deviates from his duty, he is deliver ed over to a Court-martial, to be tried and punifh ed according to the laws of the Republic, for in. military fervice no rank is to be favoured when guilty ; the overfeers, drivers, and field.negroes, as fubjea to coriftant labour, and equally fuimr dinate to their fuperiors, (hall be punilbed in like manner,, in cafe of failure in their refpeaive duties. Whereas a Soldier cannot leave his company, his battalion, or half.brigade, and enter into ano ther, without the fevered puni(hment, unlefs pro vided with a permiffion in due form from his, Chief; field-negrces are forbidden s to quit their relpeftive plantations without a lawful permiffion; this is by no means attended to, fince they change their place of labour as they pleafe, go to and fro. ana pay , not the lean attention to agriculture. though the only means of furnifhing Cudenance to the military, their proteaors: they even conceal themfelves in towns, in villages, and mountains, ' where. allured by the enemies of good order, they live by by plunder, and in a !late of open ho ftility to fociety. Whereas, fince the Revolution, labourers of both texes, then too young to be employed in the field, refufe to go to it now under pretext of free dom, fpend their time in wandering about, and give a bad example to the other cultivators; while, on the other hand. the Generals, Officers, Subal terns. and Soldiers, are in a Sate of conftant ac tivity to maintain the facred rights of the people. And whereas, my Proclamation of the 25th Brumaire of the 7th year, to the people of St. Do. Mingo, was calculated to eftablifti an uniform fyf tem of inceffant and labourious induftry ; at the fame time that it required from all the Citizens indif.riminately the co-operation of the Cultiva tors, Soldiers, and Civil Powers, as neceffary for ' the reiteration of St. Domingo: it being therefore my determination that the above-mentioned Pro clamation fhoald be carried into full effea, and that the abufes now in praaice amongft the la bourers lbould be at an end, from the publication of this prefent regulation, I do molt peremptorily order as follows : - ' Art. I. All Overran, Drivers, and Field Negroes, arc bound to obferve, with mediae's ' fubmiffion, and obedience, their duty in the fame manner as Soldiers. Art. 2. All Overfecrs, Drivers, and Field-Labourer% who wUI not perform with ankluity the duties required of them, !hall be arrefted end pun:thed as feverely as foldiers deviating from their duty After which punlthment, if the offender be an Omirfeer, b e ball be entitled la Oil of the Rcgimaiti of the Arm of St. Domingo : If a Driver, be flail be difmiffed from his employment, and placed among the Field negroes, without ever being permitted to ad as a Driver spin : And, if a Com mon Labourer, he 0 all be punibed with the fame feverity as a Private Soldier, according to his guilt.

If in the murk of eight days, from the promulgation of this prefent regulation they ball not produce fujcknt proof, to the Commanding Of ' deers, in the places of their refidence, of their having Come ufe ful occupation or means of livelihood ; but it is to be undcr flood, that being a fervant, is not to be confidered as an ufeful occupation: In confequence whereof, thofe atnongtl the La bourers who have quitted their Plantations In order to hire themfelves Cull return thereto, under the perfonal refponbbi lity of thole with whom they live in that capacity. By the terms, o an ufeful occupation" is meant, what enables a man fo pay a Contribution to the State. Art. 4.

Colonel Latta:wrote'. father was the fon of the brother of the great Law, of Laurifton, the Fi• nancier, of whom all the world has heard. The l 'family is originally from Scotland. The father lof Colonel LAVIUSTON married a native of the . Ilk of France, by whom he had fix font and four daughters, one of them the prefent Officer. Moil of them were born at Pondicherry, of which the father was, Governor. He realized great riches there, but was very unfortunate in afterwards lofing them. By the robbery of one caravan he loft the bulk of his fortuae. He was, however, C 111• bled to fettle in France withsa fmall, but comforta ble indepenciance; . and his family were provid ed for by,the Court in the manner of the fons of the Nobleffe Two of the fix Cons were educated for the army; of thefe Colonel Lauatsrow was one k and two for the Royal Navy ; a fifth was educat, ed to the Church. The eldeft, of the Navy, died' in the Expedition of .D'Em re Beasts A x round ' the world in fearch of LA Psaouss.—.The fecond, the prefent Colonel, emigrated with his four younger brothers in 1792. The Colonel was a twin brother to the third, who was an Offi.. cer in the Navy, entered the regiment of Het:tor in the pay of England, went or. the Qlriberon Ex pedition, was taken and (hot by order of or one of his deputies. The fourth, educated for i the army, went n the Englilh fervice to St. Do. mingo, and is now fettled at Jamaica. The fifth lives at Liverpool; and the firth, who was a Cler., gymau, is now a partner in the boat of JOHNSTON Law (he takes this name) and Co. in the City of London. The fbrtune of Colonel LAURI mom' has been re- 1 1 markable ; he owes it to the circumftance of his having been educated in the Military School at Paris with BowAPAars. There they were both boys, ftudents together, and they are now nearly of an age. LAUILISTON had obtained the rank of Lieutenant of Artillery in the French fervice, when he emigrated, and entered the Auftrian fervice. In 1796 he was taken prifoner in Italy by Bowa ►Aara's army, at the commencement of that great, General's glorious career. Lava's-row, afraid of being put to death as a traitor, obtained an intery iew with Bow/aura, who in a moment recolleded him with emotions of affedion and alarm. He advifed him to enter as a private in the French fervice, faying, there was no other way of Paving his life. LAURISTOII did fo, and Bowirmurs of courfe did not forget bim. He took the earlieft- 1 opportunities of promoting him, and made him a bofom friend. La v a isrow was with him in Egypt,l and has been his conflant companion in all his perils; he was even with him when he was over Pet in his carriage .laft returning from Italy ; and be was alto with him in his carnage going to. the Opera in December laft, when the Infernal Ma chine was blown up with the deign of murdering the Cum/.

WAIIiNG 'Uwe, Efq. left town on Tuef day for Paris, with a paliport from Lord Pstuar. Mr. Kvoz is the firft Gentleman who has obtained that permifilon fince the Peace: as his return to this country is expeeted in a few days, it is imagined he is charged with bulinefs of importance from the Government. There are a confiderable number. of merchants from Amllerdam and Rotterdam now in town, hot their orders are given but fparingly, compared with thofe of former times. They complain, in hitter terms, of the hardthips they base ruffered from the Revolution.- Twenty-live per cent. on the capital property, and five per cent on the in come of every individual, above a certain clafs, in the States, was aetually levied in the courfe of one year! They rejoice very greatly on the ap proach of a General Peace, but they apprehend, at the fame time, that the wounds which have been inflieted are fo deep, that the Republic will Icarcely ever recover from the deprellion which it has fultained under its compulfory change of Government. Wool of all qualities has rifen rapidly in conic. quence of the peace, but particularly the long forts, which, within thofe ten days, have encreafed nearly one-fourth in value.
