ADDRESS or roe GOVERNMENT or HAYTI TO TEI
COMMERCE or NEUTRAL. NATIONS.
44 The inhabitants of Hayti had fcarce delivered
themfelves from the French yoke, than they bad ano-
thee hydra to deflroy, which they had nourifhed in
their own bolos. Their whole attention is now
turned to the cultivation of that valuable produce,
which the mercantile part of Europe obtains ate great
expense from the molt diflant countries. Our pert
levering induary has procured us a moll abundantll
recompence for our laborious exertions. The richeri,j
of our foil offer a malt pleafin profpefl to your fpe-il
culatione. Our warehoufes, filled with all the prod,
dultions of the Antilles, only wait the arrival of your
mercantile fleets, to make an exchange of the mann-,
faaures of which we Rand in need, fo'inthofe which,
you require. If a fyllem, unfavourable to the progrelk
of commerce, has hitherto ipterpofed to prevent its
fucceli among us, that difatirom influence will &only
ceafe. The impoflure is diffipated, the phantom has
difappeared, and all the iUufions that hovered round
it are difperfed. So fax is oar Government, in its pm.
fent regenerated Rate, from oppofing the freedom of
commerce in our ports, that it offers facilities to yon,
which cannot be granted by any other Government.

appear : the proteftion of your property, the fecurity
of your perfons, and a rigid maintenance of thelaws
in every thing that relates to you, arEguaranteed to"
you en the faith of Government. SSW regulations, i
and diaated by vrifdom—duties arranged.M.propor.
tion to the difficulties that you may •experiance
gaining our ports, are equitably collated ; great 401

the nhaages on which you may have a polka reliant*
The Government is firmly perfuaded, that *hum a roll
ciprocal advantage doss not prevail, there eigb'W'no
commerce. It has already direfted the tappieffiosi
of exclufive codignments ; of the tax on the price of
articles ;of the privileges granted for the Pale of coffee,
as well as the obligation to take cargoes of fugar. &c.
Every one will be at liberty to fell and to buy on dui
conditions that he hall judge molt for his advantage.
Thole regulations, produced by ignorance, will no
longer offer impediments to your (osculations : your
confidence will no longer be forced in favour of indi-
viduals who were equally (hangers to you, and to
the welfare of their country. Your friends, your
own particular fail:tors, fhall have the poifeffion of
your property; and the Government engages to grant
them all the proteftion which they can &Tire. The
fanguinary horrors which have too notorioufly mark-
ed the commencement of a cruel reign, will no more
renew the fad fpeaacle of keoes that are pia. Come
with perk& confidence to traffic in our posts : come
and exchange the fruits of your induflry for our
fiches ; and be perfuaded, that you will never have
cattle to repent of a reliance on our promifing.
" At the fame time, while the Government is• ex-
ening all its efforts to procure you the advantages of
a brilliant commerce, it requires of lour agents the
fame loyalty and good faith, which n will exercife
towards you. It alto expreffes its hope, dim the bafe
condo& of the privateers of Louifiatta
imitated, and that it will have no caulk to:Mgrei that
its too great confidence has been abufed. • •
The ports are tit Cape, Fort Dauphin, Port•de-
Pais, the Gonaivm. Saint Mark, Port•au•Prince, the
Cayes, Jeremie, and Jacmel, where you may fend
your cargoes with the certainty of an advantageous
return.

" The well-known manes with which the Go-
vernment of Hayti acquits its engagements,is a folemn
pledge for the mention of the Treaties it may enter
into with you. Notwithflanding Ale misfortunes
which preceded our independence, and the difafirous
wars which it neceffarily produced, the means of Go-
vernment hare never failed of keeping pace with its
wants. Such is the allowilling extent of oar refources,
that even the vices of the preceding Adminiftraiion
did not prevent the liquidation of all its contracts.
Judge then what will now be oar profpelt as well
as ysturr, when a wife economy (ball take the place
of prodigality, and that an equitable collettion of the
revenues will determine the rights of Government as
well as chafe of individuals. Hafle then to come acd
avail yourfilves of theft favourable difpoGtions,which
your connections with %sewn' confirm more and more.
Whatever may be the number of your veffels,whatever
may he the extent of your fpeculations for our ports,
entertain not the leak apprehenfion, that yon will not
acquire a certain profit. An abundant llama, com-
modities already piepaied, wait yourcppsittg. and
the certainty of an immediateaale of mg, peg
is affored to you. _[
