PRELIMINARY REMARKS ON THE CONSTITUTION OP ST. 1:00,410, The Colony of St, Domingo exifted for feveral years without pofitive laws. Governed for along time by ambitious men, its deftruCtion appeared inevitable without the alive and wife genius of the Commander in Chief TOUISSAINT LOUVERTURE, who, by the molt judicious combinations, the bell laid plans, and the moll energetic actions, was enabled to refene it almoft at the fame moment frpm its external and internal enemies ; to extin guifh fucceflively all the fparks of dileord ; to pre pare its refurredion from the bofom of anarchy ; to make plenty fucceed to famine ; the love of la bour and of peace to civil war and idlenefs ; leen rity to terror, and finally to reduce it entirely to the dominion of the French Empire. The Revo lution had overthrown with violence every thing that conflituted the fyflem by which the Wand of St. Domingo was formerly regulated. New laws had been fubfiituted at various periods by the dif ferent Legiflative Affemblies of France, but the incoherence of thefe laws, repealed almoft as foon as enacted, their defetts and their infufficiency ac. knowledged even by thofe who were the authors of them—the manner in which they were carried into effect by the factions or thofe attached to par ty, contributed more to propagate diforder than to reprefs it. The natural confequence of this or der of things was to make the laws, which ought to have been treated with refped, objets of alarm, or when they were impotent, objects of contempt. Thofe wife men who co-operated in forming the French Conflitution for the Bth year have, no doubt, felt the neceffity of adopting a new fyflem for remote colonies, and of confulting in the en acting of laws intended to dired them, the man ners, the cufloms, the wants of the French by whom they are inhabited, as well as the circum- Ilances in which they are placed. Could it, in fad, be an eafy talk to form an opinion of all thefe contiderations from flatements frequently incor rect; to appreciate, at fo great a diflance, the alte rations effected in the public mind ; to afcertain the evils under which the people laboured, and to apply remedies both proper and efficacious, more particularly during the war ? The gift Article of the French Conflitution would have been alone fiifficient to authorize the inhabitants of Saint Domingo, to prefent to the French Government Laws by which they are to be governed, had not the experience of the pall rendered it an imperious duty. And what moment could be more proper for the execution of that im portant work than that in which the chaos laid open, the ancient edifice cleared of its ruins, pre judices banifhed, and the heat of paflion allayed, teemed to mark the propitious inftant in which it became necelfary to lay the foundations of the work ? Thefe are circumflances which do not pre fent themfclves more than once during a long teries of centuries, to fix the fate of nations. If (offered to efcape, they are fought for in vain. To thcfe fundamental caufes, which made it ne cellary to have a Conllitution for St. Dominso, combined with the interefis of its inhabitants, which were intimately connoted with thole of the Mother Country, we:e joined motives equally prelTing.— The jolt claims of the departments of the Colony to have accefs to the Tribunals of Juflice. The ne ceffity of introducing new cultivators for the in creafe of rultivation,the re-animation of commet ce, and the re-cflablilliment of manufadures. The utility of cementing the union between the old Spanifh and French parts. The impoffibility of !he mother country fiipporting and maintaining this immenfe Colony during a war with foreign Mari time Powers. The hecellity of ellablifhing a Pimple and u;liforrn regimen in the adminiftration of the finances of the Colony, and in reforming abnfes. 11 a neccffity of tranquillizing abfent proptietors with regard to their prorrties. And laflly, The import : mei of ennfolldattnt and arengthenina the peace of the interior; of increafing the prof- perity which the Colony began to enjoy, after the tumults by which it was agitated; to make every perfon acquainted with his rights and duties; an d to extinguifh every kind of diftruft ; in pretenting a code of laws to which all interefts and affeaimii (hall be united. Such were the motives which made the General in Chief convoke a Legiflative Affembly, whole bufinefs it was to propofe to the French Govern ment that Conftitution moft convenient for the Colony of St. Domingo. A few of the Members of that Affembly wifhed to prolong th'e tumult of their difcuillon ; but in the mean tune they wifbcd to be furrounded with men of information and v:if dom, in order that a work of fuch great interetl should appear the work of the whole Colony. 11 she Central Affembly has not completely fulfilled the with of its Contlituents—if it has not attained the objea which the General in Chief propofed, will at leaft have done what circumftances ted it to do. It has not been able to propot;.: at one time all the changes which it could have dc fired. The Colony cannot arrive at its greatest. profperity, except by flow degrees. A benel:t which is to be hailing, muff operate by flow ( k. grecs ; in this refpe& it is neceffary to folluw tare, which does nothing precipitately ; but uhicli gradually matures its beneficent produEtions.— Happy,. if this firft attempt (hill contribute to i ameliorate the (late of its citizens, and obtain Ilt e ir esteem and indulgence, as well as tefiimanles of fatisfaftion on the part of France, Mould it even fail of acquiring a certain perfeftion. All the articles of the Conflitution have 1;:ca difcuffed and decreed, without paffion, or partiality ; and the mode of government has is particular been adopted, as the only one fit, in the prefent circumftances, to precerre the tranquillity of the COlony, and restore it to its ancient fplca dour. In other refpeas, every two years the en. fuing Central Affemblies may operate the changes which time and experience fhall render =diary. The CentralMembly bas not the vanity to believe that it has propofed the heft poffible Conftitution ; but it can fafely Rate ) that all the Members of whom it contifts, have uniformly been affefted by the defire of doing good ; that they have the will; of fecuring the aCtual tranquillity .of the Colony, of rendering its profperity perManent, and of aug. menting and proving their attachment to the Freud; Governmpt.
