XNISTING RELATIONS BETWE!!:N THE CIVIL AND

MILITARY auTHoi( ITY.
" '&7,lo:at-ter: at the Cape, Yttiy r, 1802.
" THE Colony of Saint Domingo is in a state.tf Siege.
The direction of the Police belongs to the Military.
" The Administration of the Colony is charged with the
raising of Imposts, to provide for the support of the Troops
in the Colony by Land and Sea. In this state of things, the
Administration will frequently find itself obliged to have re-
course to the Military Authority. In consequence, when-
ever the Colonial Prefeet shall want the intervention of the
Armed Force, he shall address himself to the General in
Chief, who will give orders conformable to his request.
" Whenever a Sub-Prefeel of Department shall want the
intervention of the Armed Force, he shall address himself to
the General Commandant of Division, who will assist him
with all his power.
" The Colonial Prefeet and the Sub-PrefeEts of the De-
partment, have the ilea of requiring the aid of the Com-
mandants of the place, and the Gendarmerie, whenever they
shall judge it necessary for the execution of measures which
they may have taken, or to enable thinn to exercise those
functions which were conferred on them by my Arrete of the
lath of June.
The Colonial Prefefl and the Sub-PrefeEts of thc De—
partment, being the Chiefs of the Administration of the
Colony, and therefore alone responsible for that Adminis-
tration, the Armed Force is prohibited from intermeddling
with the Administration of the Colony. Nevertheless, the
Generals are bound to render an account to the General in
Chief, of all the abuses of Administration which they re—
mark within the limits of their Command.

" The present Ordonnance shall be printed, published,

and posted up.
" The General in Chief, Captain General,

" LECLERC.

" By the Captain General,
" The Secretary General,
" Lzuotre."

General 'AEC t, F R c was residing on the 4th of July
at the Marne of the Cape, where the stir is more
salubrious. He enjoys good health, and occupies
himself without ceasing in the organization of that
immense Colony, studying to overcome every ob.
stacle. 'The constancy, the aelivity, and the ta-
lents which are displayed in his condv.a, are worthy
of the approbation and eulogium of Government.
After the Arrest of TOUSSAINT, several Bands
of Negroes were in a state of insurrection, but they
were dispersed, and made the visiims of severe
justice. The General has already purged the Co-
lony of a great number of bad subjeas. The
South and the West are in part disarmed, and on
the 9th of July the disarming was to begin to
operate in the Northern part.
General THoLost:, the Adjutant Commandant
and the Chef tie Brigade NIAusERT,
are dead of the disease which prevails at the Cape,
and which this year appears general throughout the
Antilles. There never existed in the memory of
man, a more dangerous disease at St. Domingo, It
prevails. not only at St. Domingo, but also at :la-
ma;ca and the Haim/mai?, with great malignity,
General LE cLzRc received in the course of July
a reinforcement of three thousand men, which were
necessary to repair the losses occasioned by sick-
