From the United States Gazette.
Sr. Domingo bill.—We tiiis day give, from the
notes of our correspondent, a sketch of the debate
_ in the house of representatives, on gen. Turreau’s
bill to prohibit commerce to the island of St. Do
mingo. In order to have a full and correct view of
this subject, it will he necessary to advert to the
imperative demands of the French government, rom
moniented in two letters from Turreau to our secre
tary, and two others from Talleyrand to our amixis
Badour at Paris, all published in this Gazette on the
3Tib ot January. Turreau’s first letter, dated the
34th of October, denounces the trade with St. Do
mingo as “u system of robbery." as those with
whom it is carried on as “ a race of .Jfrican slaves
the ref roach and the refuse of nature,” and con
cludes with expressing his confidence that the “ go
vernment of the United States will take the most
prompt as well as the most effectual measures in or
der to put an end to the trafick complained of.”
All this we presume our government considered
as a piece of impertinence unworthy of their notice,
as they did not even acknowledge the receipt of it ;
much less did they deign to make a reply.
On the 3d of January Turreau sent another letter
to the secretary of state, enclosing copies of two
communications mode by Talleyrand to Mr. Arm
strong, our minister at Pat h.
His own letter begins by stating that “ formal or
ders from his government oblige him to insist upon
the contents of his official note of the 14th of Octo
ber;” and proceeds to inform our government “ that
it is at length time to pursue formal measures a
gainst every adventure to the ports of St. Domingo,
occupied by the rebels. The system of tolerance,"
continues lie, “ which produces this commerce, cun
Mt longer rtmqin, and the eiupeisur and king, my
master, expects, from the dignity and candour of
the government of the Union, that an end be Jiut to
it firmn/itly
The demands of Talleyrand are communicated in
a style still more haughty and imperious. In his
first note he complains very angrily of the “ scan
dalous publicity” with which the St. Domingo trade
is carried on, and of the “ ninth toast” which some
merchants ot New-York drank at a publick dinner,
and concludes by saying, “ his majesty charges me,
sir, to request in his name that they [the United
St ites] interdict every private adventure, which,
under any pretext of designation whatsoever, mav
be destined to the ports of St. Domingo occupied by
the rebels.
His second note recapitulates the sub-dance of the
best ; scolds about the u iavilities which our govern
ment pi' es to rebellion and robbery," and concludes
l>v demanding that government “take all the re
pressive and aotboi it ,ti\ e measures pie per to put an
end to this commerce at once illicit and contrarv to
alt the principles of the law of nations. The, sys
tem ot impunity anti tolerance cam no i ongeu
CON tinrs.”
1 his kind of language "seemed at cure to open the
e\ es of the administration to all the er.nrmite which i
they h id never before been able to m ■ vcv jn the j
St. Dotningo trade. A bill w m im.i h.telv intro, i

Thte Speaker. The gentleman will proceed if he
pie i-es.
Mr. Crownivshiki.d. I had but a word to say.
Suppose, Sir, there should he a revolt in the East
Indies, and England should interdict our trade with.
Calcutta, with Madras, See. should we obey ? l>at
I will not enlarge. I sincerely hope the bill will not
pass.
The ayes and nay on the amendment were s for
it 22, je.iinst it 95.
Mb. S.milis. Have we or have we not a right
to carry on trade with St. Domingo without the
consent of France ? That is the question before
the house. Either give up the trade, or acknow
ledge the independence af Hayti. I am of opinion
that while we acknowledge the rights of France over
thr.t inland, we cannot trade vitli its inhabitants
without the consent of France.
It was moved that the bill be read the third time
to morrow—which was negatived, and it was order*
c'l to he read this day.— The bill being read the third
time—
Mu. M‘Cr t'.KR v opposed its passage in ; ii .argu
ment of coiividerable length, Out in so low a tone of
voice that unfortunately wc were notable to distinct
ly hear his remarks.
Mr. Com rad called for the ayes and noes, which
were ordered_
.Mr. J. C. Smith said he rose merely to express
his s 'tistactioii that the ayes and noes were ordered
on this question. I consider, said Mr. S. all discus*
sion of the merits of the bill as perfectly fruitless_
I lie rapid manner in which it has been'hivi ie 1 thus
lar through the house, tilleih precludes all dehhera*
tion, and is a sure prognnstick of its final passage_
n is a measure which will greatly embarrass ali' our
foreign commerce, ana if it is to have its intended
effect, which I much doubt, because I believe its de
feetne provisions will be easily defeaUd „r evaded,
it must prove completely ruinous to a lawful and va
luable branch of one trade—Hut as a measure of po
licy I consider it absolutely destructive of the best
and nearest vi Ji’s ot tins country. Sir, the .secret
is out—the fat cannot he concealed that this bill is
dirt.atitl by the government of France. The hnoe
iR'us in.Hid do ot the French minister is published to

our restrictions on this commerce ought to txtei
only to military apparatus, and not to the deni 1
the ordinary necessities and conveniencies of life
that the laws of nations require that we should exe
ci>c a strict neutrality between France and fj,.y
nd that a declaration of non-intercourse, ii
probably would be considered, by the inhabit in
of that Island as a declaration of war. But .anno
mmty iiiis not been allowed for the examination re
(jinMte to the establishment c>t these points, and
there is obviously no clisp isitlou to attend to it were
it made. I slu'd therefore merely record my nega
tive to the hill.
Mk.Klmkiu I know of no foundation for the
declaration that this bi’l is the effect of an order
from the minister ef France. 1 believe no such
order would affect a single member on this fiooor.
lb bev requires, our duty requires the passing of
this bill. Titc subject hns been fully discussed, this
and the last session ; there is no haste ; if gentle
men wish to amend, let their amendments be
brought forward ; if they wish further to discuss,
the house is ready to listen ; the principle of this
bid is already settled, and has long been. I look not
at consequences; 1 look to what policy and duty re
quire. We must offend France or St Domingo; but I
see not why St. Domingo should be up in arms at the
passage of this bill. I fear the offence of no nation ;
1 fear only doing wrciig as a man, and as a legisla
tor ; I fear more the consequences of not passing,
than Ido of passing this hill.
Mr. F.shly. I had hop«d this bill would pass
without such observations, as the house has been
compelled to hear ; I had hoped that the gentleman
from Connecticut, (Mr. Smith) usually so distinguish
ed by the urbanity and correctness of his deport
ment in debate, would haye fereborn such espressi
biitciws and.wrrmffei^ tbe\tt>tl«nu»
conid not omit-this opportunity df posing the pre

„„ .- Wno now op.

the last session. When we wished to pass this bill
t.ich.st session, ge ntlemen who are now opposed to i»
prevented its passage by saying that there was no
cause lor it, and we were told to wait till France
should remonstrate against the intercourse—well
* ,'a,iet'111'as > emonstrated, and now the same gent’.e
n.en tell ur, not to pass the bill, because she has re
monstrated. Strange ! There may be other grounds
tn objection to this bill, which gentlemen chuse not
to avow. there is a disposition nc: only in this
house, out elsewhere, in the puhlick prints, which
f,n" n,-v m,lul ''nh :‘«e- -After all we can do, the ob
