ki4f PARIS, jtINE MINISTRY.OF THE MARINt AkMY OF ST. DOMINGO. THE GENERAL IN CHiEF TO THE MINISTEit OF THE MARINE AND COLONIES. " Head-Quarters at the Cape, Alf. 8, /802. CITIZEN MINISTER, " I HASTEN to send to you Citizen BRUTERES, my Aid du-Camp, to inform you oFthe happy event of the re-estab lishment of tranquillity in this immense and beautiful Colony. " You have rerbived Dispatches containing the details of the military events which took place during the latter end of March and the beginning of April. Beaten every where, and dispersed, terror establishdd itself in the camps br the Rebels, who were without Magazines, almost without Powder, and who were reduced to live upon Bananas. " The arrival of the Squadrons from Flushing and Havre gaye the last blow to the rebel power. " CHR isT or tr E informed me that he had always been a friend to the Whites, whom he admired; that all the Euro peans who had been at St. Domingo could attest his prin ciples and his Condud ; that imperious circumstances, which often decide the conduct of Public Men, had not left him at liberty to pursue that line of conduet which he wished; and, lastly, he desired to know if there was still any safely for him ?—I replied, that with the French People there was al ,' !ways a door open to repentance; •that it was the constant ha= bit of the First Consul to weigh the aaions of men, and that one Crime alone, whatever might be its consequences, would never efface from his mind, services performed ; that it was true, that the instrudions I had received previous to my de ' parture, were persOnodly favourable to him ; and lastly, that if he chose to place himself at my discretion, he should have reason to be satisfied. ",He still hesitated : several Columns were ready to at tack him ; and some slight rencontres took place. At length, Cup :STOP!! n informed me that I had not sent to him any Orders: I directed him to repair alone to the Cape; tosend thither all. the Cultivators who were still with him, . and to assemble all the Troops who were under his orders. All this he punctually executed. More than aOOO Inhabitants of the Cape, who were in the most distant hills; have re- turned. His Magazines and Artillery arc in our possession, r and about 'zoo Soldiers who were under his command, arc united to our Troops. A part of them have been disarmed, and sent back to culture ; and the remainder I propose to in corporate with the Colonial Troops. " The submission of Cita T STOPHE completed the con sternation of Touss A :s T. He employed every means to infc7M me of the unfortunate situation in which he found himself, and how much he saw with pain, that he was con tinuing a War without objea, and without end. He . added, Mai circumstances the most unfortunate, had already occa sioned many evils, but that notwithStanding the force of the French army, he was still strongenough to ravage and de. , stroy the Country, and to sell dearly a life, which hid been .Dinetimesuseful to the Mother Country. " These communications, frequently reiterated, gave rise to the most serious refleCtiens in my. mind. " Three-fourths of the Colony had still escaped the Miseries of desolation ; and Touss A INT and the Blacks, although they had ravaged a part * of the Country, and carried en the War with extreme barbarity, had never seen France, had never received during twelve years, any other than false ideas of our strength and our. chara&cr. "I informed To USS A x sr, that if he would repair to the Cape, pardon might yet be extended to him. Touss AINT did not hesitate to profit by the permission 1 had given to hint : he came to me, solicited for • pardon, and stvore to be faithful to France. I accepted his submis sion, and ordered him to repair to a Plantation near Gonaives, 411 (.1 nut to depart from it without my permission. `‘ I have placed Dkas A.LINF.S ill a Plantation near Saint Marc. " All the' Cultivators who had been carried off; have re turned. 1 have incorporated with the Colonial Troops, as I nany of the Black Soldiers as I thought mighube allowed to continue under arms. ' 4, The Maga'zincs, and the pieces of Artillery which had b een drawn up steep rocks, and hidden in the most secret places,. are daily delivered up to us : there are still more than 44 hundred remaining. A new epoch commences : You will see by the Arretes, and the measures which I have taken, that ►ve are occupied With activity in organizing the Administration of the Country. " The bad season has commenced, but the repose which ' lll ' Troops will now experience, will enable us to go through I t with the least possible loss. We have abundance of p 50.4431011;, .4431011 ;, thanks to your care.. Health and rcspra, (S4lncd) LEC.LERC." THE SAME 'TO THE SAME. " Offre, May 8, tBoz. " W e are labouring to re=establish the Cape; .with an ae ti'vitY Which it is difficult to conceive: This Town is rising citit of its ashes. " I cannot dissemble the mischief which has been‘done in several Cantons of the Colony; but having now, however,. rec eived the diffirent. accounts, I am convinced that more th an three-fourths ofthe Coleity are untouched. The quar ters krtibonite, all the South part, the Mole, and Fort kiberte, are entirely preserved, " Atnerican vessels arrive in crowds in our .Ports, laden with flour, with deals, s and other materials for building. Citizen Pleuras writes me, that the Americans are much' discontented at the,measure which I took at the moment of mY arrival ; but I think they are wrong. Agents of the American Government weir.: with TOUSSAINT; who did not always suggest to him the best opinions. MusqUets, Powder, and Cannon, were furnished with a renewed adivity from the United States, as. soon as the Preliminary Treaty wa s kn own th ere. I t was natura l, there fore, that I should take measures' to prevent that communi cation with the Rebels. Cur Commissaries in ArneriCa Were not Sufficiently alive to the interests of the Public Purse. An unfortunate little. Brig which. yousent thither, co st 28, 000 f rancs ( 1:41. r3s. 4(1.) Citizen P crroN ought 4 0 have knoWn that the Brig was not worth half that sum. ".The National Commerce begins also to send out some ‘'t2 ' ; e l S . • I haVe given orders •to place the colonial system 1 . 4 a- state of adivity as speeciily:as possible. Vessels corn, ul B from France pay no duty tvhatever on importation. They p3 . ,' ,: ten. per Cent. on exportation, bnt it may be: found titable to cxad only five. As to the rest, I eXpee.l your di r-Oiqns forthwith. This can do no injury to Commerce, 'as cuf f p 1 roportionably cllminish the d u ti es on W est I n di a .14ek,0c.. • " The Colony, otherwise, -ts in a situttioil to receive MA commercial regulations as you may make; and if the great Commercial Towns prepare to furnish us . with what we want, there will be little difficulty in reviving the alias of 174 respelling the : Clistoms. " For the rest, Citizen Minister, assure the First Consul that I shall not lose an instant in considering the instructions' given to me, in every point of view, political and commercial and that I shall regard the,day when the National Commerce will be alone sufficient for St. Domingo, as a happy day, for myself and the. Army, as a Colonial War ought to have.for its result the triumph of Commerc " I have sent General DUG UA into the South parts : General Roc /lAMB E A U is on the side of St. Marc. " I can only pronounce an eulogy on the whole irmy ; but I must make particular mention of the zeal and services of General ROCHAMBEAU. " I must also praise the attivity of the Chief Commissary DAUkE. " Health and resped, Signed " I,ECI.ERC." THE BUDGET.
