" We 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,.
received the diffirent. accounts, I am convinced that more
than 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, sand 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 was known there. It was natural, 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,
cost 28,000 francs ( 1:41. r3s. 4(1.) Citizen P crroN ought
40 have knoWn that the Brig was not worth half that sum.
".The National Commerce begins also to send out some

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

" 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

After stating the Supplies and Ways and *ant,.
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proceed-
ed to detail the particulars of Expence in the pre-
sent Year, occasioned by the difference between a

He grounded this statement by saying, that he
begged to be understood as by no means expressing
a confident. opinion that such would to a certainty
prove to be the ainount of the difference at the end
of the year, 'as he could not positively engage that
there might not be some addition to the heavy
Delt, and some increase of charge for the Extraor.

Having gone through this Statement, he said he
could not forbear saying, that from everything he
had had occasion to observe as to the probable cfri-
ciency of the taxes for 18oz, they would not fall_
short in their comparative estimate, but would be as
productive as those of 1799.—He knew, that dif-
ference of opinion was entertained on the effea
which Peace would have on the Trade, and conse-
quently on the Finances of this Country.—On this
subjea, upon the best consideration he WiiS able to
give it, his own persuasion was, (unless causes
arose which he could not foresee), that the present
year would be as produaive, and answer its Esti-
mate as well .as,the most favoured year, as much as
the year 1799.—He would, however, estimate the
Produce of the Revenue according to the zest Re-
' solution of the 29th of June, tBot.
