ST. .DOMINC

•
A Britt.4l Agent:-as
Itdispatched from jam :ica
to Sr. DomillO OR the 3d of 'January, on board the
Tartar Frigatp,..with 'proposals for a Treaty, which
had for their, battis the original agreement between
Geotrals MAITI,AN/31 and TOUSSAINT, with a few
Modifications And extensions favourable to the Com.
merce of St. Domingo. The Tartar touched first at
Jeremie, a Port on-the South side of Si. Domingo ;
hut as DEssa,t,itstas was at Port.au.Prince, she sail-
ed to that Tovn, and entered the Harbour on the
iph. The British Agent had the following day an
interview with the Governor-General', whose nu-
merous objetiions were made by him to the Treaty,
and amendments anti additions were suggested, to
which it was impossible to accede, so very extrava-
gant were his demands. DESSALINE'S wished to
stipulate for universal Commerce, and for freedom
of Navigation round the Island to any distance from
the Coast his Vessels might proceed. He also in-
sisted- on being, stipplird by us with Arms, Ammu-
nition, and, what Inuit is extraordinary, with Ne.

groes.
From terms so excessive as these, no hopes
Could he entertained of any thing like a satisfactory
issue to the Negotiation, and during five days more,
while the British,Agent and his Col!capes remain-
ed at Port-auTrioce, only another interview took
place. DESSALINES seized the opportunity of re-
capitulating a number of old grievances, complain-
sed of by TotrisAitii., and tending to shew'his doubts
of our 'sincetit). He laid vast stress on the confi-
.dence reposed in him by the People of
stlayti, arid
of the &pity and independence of his Government,
which obliged him to reject the terms we proposed,
and to which he Could not think of acceding, since
the Island was open to the C 'mmerce of the
whole worirl, France excepted. To, a proposition,
that he should put us in possessi, n of the Post of
the Mole during the War only, he answered, that
.it was altogether imoos,thle; and that he had given
orders to destroy all the Fortifications 'on the land-
side.of the Town,
.which had been carried iritoeffeet
at Port-au.Prince and was to be done through the
whole 6i St. D mingo. Our Agent returned to
. Kingston with the proposals of DESSALINFS in.
writing,'after a suit mu promise, that an answer
sh ,old be sil! from Governor. NUGENT, at Jamaica,
with all possible dispatch.
This promise Was punaually executed, for the
Briti h Agent did n umain quite a week at Kiog_
stun, when he ein,-eitle:-:1 in th.- same frigate for St.
Domingo 'G'vernor NUGENT'S Ultimatum.
With the exception of san: riling modiheationi,
it differed little from our iiist proposals. The Go-
vernor thought ir, however, expedient to send pre-
sents to DE-siyLiN ES and his principal Officers, to
the value of several hundred pOunds, chiefly corm
pt,sed of hats, gold lace, epaT-lertei, and sabres. On
the soh of February, our Agents'were landed at
Jeremie, but as Dkli,ALiNiS was then at Aux Cayes
no interview t. ok place until his arrival, which was
the ze,h. Instead .4 relaxing in .the demands he
had Let ,re made, he renewed all his objections, and
even insiAed, as a pieliminary, that we should
furnish him with one Million pounds of powder,
equal to five bundled tons, with fifty thousand
mn,le.ets anti ammunition ; fifty thousand sabres for
inkntry, hve thousand for cavalry, and fifty barrels
of flints. So extraordinary a proposal was a con,.
vinctiig proof that he had no intention of treating
with us ; but it was conSideted the wisest course to
assure DessALtstss that his demand should be laid
brf ire the Governor of Jamaica. The Agents re-
turned to Kingston, and, we understand, that in con-
sequence of Governor N-sec NT's dispatches, all
itlea 'of a Treaty with the RepubliC.Of Hay ti is
entirely relinquished.

LAX REPORT.

COURT OF KING's BENCH, JUNE i 6.

TVIE KING 'DANIEL SETO::, JUN. E,Q.

The Delen.iant is the son of the Governor cf Su-
tar. He had been found guilty on a criminal irfor-
mation, preferred at the instance of William Wick-
ham, Esq. whom, in the words of the proceedings,
he had attempted to provoke, and to excite to fight
a duel. In .one of the counts, the expressions
charged were, " If you do not give me the satis-
fiaion of a gentleman, you are the greatest black-
guard that ever lived." The cause of the resent_
went of this gentleman, wac some advice to Mr.
and Mrs. Flint, a young married couple, who resid-
rd with Mr. Wickham, during his official situation
in Ireland, and to whom he sustained the charaaer
of guardian. Mrs. Flint is sister to the Defendant.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH read the minutes of the
trial, in which several threatening letters to Mr.
Wickham were given in evidence, and the conver-
sation of Major IVlorgan (the bearer of the challenge)
was detailed.

Mr. Gin as, for the Iltfendant, said, he should be
highly reprehensible if he attempted to vindicate the
condul of his Client, and was proceeding to state
the circumstances its mitigation, when Mr. Sewn,
from the ground fl nor, desired to read, in open
Court, his own Affidavit on this subjel. It con-
tained an acknowledgment of his miscondul, ex
pressions of deep contrition, and a confession, that
the part Mr. Wickham had titled, was not only ho.
nonrable to his own charkier, but originated iii the
most friendly motives towards the Defendant. It
further stated, that his leave of absence from the
India Company expired in August, and that the op.
portunity of returning was of the greatest conse-
quce to his future success in life.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—" It rests with you to
soy (addressing himself to the Counsel for the Pro-
becotion) if you will pray Judgment °i-on the De-
fetuiant. On such a serious offence, it Judgment be
.4:r4Teti,_rhe Court has hut one course to pursue 442

Mr. EatSKrNE, for the Prosecution, after a short
pause—" I waited to correct a little informality in
the Affidavit, before I addressed your Lordships,
who have been now Witnesses of the honour and
forbearance of Mr. Wickham. lam instrubed by
that Gentleman to say, that he has the greatest
respeet for the family of the Defendant ; and he
wishes, notwithstanding what has passed, to con-
duce to the happiness and prosperity of this unfor-
tunate person. It appears by the Affidavit, that
absence from India would be a material injury to
the Defendant; Mr. Wickham wishes his return
may not be obstruCted ; I shall, therefore, not pray
the judgment of the Court at this time." _ _

forclELLENßoßoucx.—" It will be in the
power of the Prosecutor to call the Defendant up
for judgment on some future occasion. I hope the
impression made on this young man's mind, will be
.agreeable to the friendly wishes of Mr. Wickham,
The Defendant may retire."

COMMON PLEAS, [urs 6.

COLLINS V. ROETT.
Mr. Serjeant BEST skewed cause against'a Rule
obtained for discharging the Defendant out of the'
Sheriff's custody, on the ground that she was a mar_
tied woman, and her husband responsible for, the
debt which she had contraeted. From the Plaintiff's
affidavit, it appeared that the Defendant went tel his
shop in the Strand, represented herself as a faricy
dress maker, residing in St. Alban's-streer, and pUn.
chased various articles, which the Plaintiff gave her
credit for, under a belief she was unmarried. A
considerable time having afterwards elapsed, and
'no payment being offered, the Plaintiff proceeded
for the recovery of his money in a legal way : on
which Mrs. Roett begged to be allowed longer
credit, and offered to pay, by giving a note, accept-
ed by tWo persons of rel3eetability. The lattet pro-
posal was not acceetled to, but the proceedings were
delayed against her, during which she went away,
'and the Plaintiff did not know,where she was, until
he accidentally met her in Fleet-marker : adion
was then comnenced, and she was arrested.
It' Was contended that' -the PLAintiff had never
heard the Defendant was' tnatried'Aluring the trans_
action between them and had .trFways considered
her as single. Her name and.. profession being on
the door of her house, and every other ..appearance
to confirm such a belief.
In support of the Rule, Mr. •Serjeanr -ONSLOW
stated, that the Defendant was married at St.
John's Church, Westminster, to Michael Roett,
who at present resides near Charing-cross. -; In con.,
sequence of which, he argued, she could not he held
to bail. •

Sir JAMES MANSFIELD observed, if there was ho
doubt of her marriage,
,she must be discharged.
was, however, an unfortunate ci,se, that she could
not be compelled to remain in prison ; her condua
was of. that description which rcquired investigation
2t the 0:0 Bailey.

The Court acquiesce,' in the propriety of the Rule
obtained.

E;CHANCE WITH IRELAND.

EXTRACT

FROM MINUTES OF EVIDENCE

Taken before the Committee appointed to inquire into the
State of I r::land, as to its Circulating Paper its Specie and
Current Coin: and the. Exchange between that part of the
U►lited Kirwlotit and Creat Britain.
The Right Hon. 101-IN FOSTER, in the Chair.
(Continued from cur Paper of friday.)

TAMES WARRED ESQ. MERCHANT IN LONDON,
CONTISUED.

Has any mode occurred to you, which
.would re.
duce the circulating raper ?—I have never considered
it ; I have not been in Ireland lately.
Would the restraining private Banks from issuing
notes under iol. have any effeft that way ?—lt
would lessen the circulation, and would tend towards
it.

Is there any mode which occurs to you, by which
the exchange could be lowered ?—I think that if any
common circulating mediutri could be adapted he.
ttveen Great Britain and Ireland, it would certainly
lower the exchange to nearly par. If there were no
restritlion, gold would answer as a common citcu.
lating medibm.
How would you propose, now, to obtain a corn.
mon circulating medium, when gold cannot be had ?
By making ILA of England Notes to be in as great
a degree a legal tender in Ireland as they • are in
England.

Are you aware they are not, stritlly speaking,
a legal tender in England ?—I am.
Do you imagine any arrangement between the
Bank of England and Bank of Ireland could effect
what you propose ?—I think so, completely.
Do yon imagine such an arrangement could hurt
the internal interests of Ireland, by rendering dig.
counts difficult or unsteady there I—l think it could
easily be arranged without any inconvenience of that
kind.

Can you state the mode of arrangement am
not well prepared to state it ; but I should suppose
if notes were issued by the Bank of Ireland, or even
by a branch of the Bank of England to be establlshed
in Dublin, which notes should he payable at the
Bank of England, I think it would certainly lower
the exchange to a very moderate rate. I think it
is praelicable ; I see no obstacles to it, nor have I
heard of any.
In the aetual s►ate of exchange, would not a con-
sideratle demand come upon the Bank of England
for those notes I—l think not, because the Bank of
England is at present restrained by law from paying
in specie.
Would not the notes to be issued be payable by
the Rank of England in specie, whenever the re-
stridion should cease I—Certainly.
How is the Back of England to be reimbursed ?
Precisely in the same way as they would be reim-
bursed for any other notes which they might then
have in circulation.

'Would not this proje& go to increase the Bank
of England Paper ?—I think it would not increase
it very much. My reason for thinking so is, that
the People of Ireland would not have occasion to
call for a great quantity of these notes; for I chink
the rate of exchange would instantly fall to such a
price as would enable the remitters in Ireland to
purchase bills of exchange on London on cheaper
terms than they could procure the notes payable at
the Bank of England ; I am confirmed in this opi.
nion by some circumstances that occurred in Lon_
don about four years ago in the exchange up_
on Dublin, on the 29th of 04Iober 1799. The
exchange on Dublin was 13f per cent. A plan
was immediately after proposed for taking in, at
the Bank of England, Irish Bank Notes at the
rate of 9- per cent, exchange, to the amount only of
900,000 in part payment of the public loan in De-
cember 1799 ; that plan instantly lowered the ex-
change in Dublin to 87.8ths per cent. On the tzth of
December exchange rose again to 14 per cent, be-
cause a doubt was suggested that the Irish bank
notes would not be received at the Bank as was
proposed ; on the 27th December the notes were
exchanged, and the rate of exchange the day before
that tell to 7 I per cent. ; the very next day after
the payment in of the 16,1 i notes, it rose to 13
per cent. These circumstances convinced me that a
very small sum of such circulating medium as I have
described, would fully answer the purpose to lower
the exchange.
Do you mean lower it permanently, or occasion-
ally ; only so long as such operation should conti-
nue ?—I mean it permanently, (.or rather as long as
the Restrk.tion continues.

Is it not true, that the effeEt of the operation you
have described ceased immediately alter the opera-
tion had disclotioued ?—Certainly it did, and that
is the reason I think• why a permanent system should
be adopted.
Are you of opinion that the Balance of Payments
with this country is against Irellnd, or otherwise ?

I am inclined to think, that for five years east the
sums to he remitted from England to Ireland were
greater than those to be remitted frorrateland to
England. I include the Loans of course.
Can you estimate the balance of trade between
_

the two Countries for the last five years, or how it
stands at present ?—I should suppose that it is not
against Ireland, because I think that Ireland has
paid every thing that she owed, either in her ex-
ports, or bills of exchange which she drew on account
of those exports. I think that Ireland owes as

itile upon her trade now, in proportion to the ex-
eat of it, as she has owed at any one period.

JOHN IRVING, ESQ. MERCHANT OF LONDON,
EXAMINED.

Do you deal with Ireland ?—I do ; I know the
exchange has been high.

Has there been a depreciation of circulating pa.
per in Ireland ?—I have heard so.
Is it your opinion that it has been depreciated ?
It is not.

Have you heard that guineas have been purchased
fora premium there J—l have, and I believe it.

Do not you think of course, that Paper is depre.
ciated when guineas are bought at a Premium ?—I
do nor.
Explain your reacons.—l am of opinion that a
