Tire following particulars of the failure of a nego- '
nation which has been carrying on between our Go- of tl
vannitot and DESSALINEE, the Governor of St. Do- groi
iningo, has been received : and
The Britifh Agent was difpatched from Jamaica pod'
on the 3d of January, on board the T frigate, 1
with propofals for a treaty, which had for their bats; the
the original agreement between General MAITLAND is
and Too Si AINT, with a few modifications and eaten- who
(ions favourable to the commerce of St. Domingo. fix
The T touched fittl at Jeremie, a port on the (
(outh fide of St. Domingo; but as DE SS ALI Nas was mei
at Port au Prince, the failed to that town, and entered brit
the harbour on the 13th. The Britifh Agent had the the
following day an interview with the Governor Gene- I
ral, when numerous oblations were made by him to An
the treaty, and amendments and additions were fug- 'I
• gelled, to which it was iropoffible to accede, fo very blei
extravagant were his demands. DESSAU,' E S wilted Th,
•to ftipulate for univerfal commerce, and for freedom gbh
of navigation round the ifland to any distance from stir
the waft his valets might proceed. He air) mulled gre
on being fupplied by us with arms, ammunition, and A
what was molt extraordinary, with negroes. From ",
terms Co exceffive as there, no hopes could be enter- tha
Mined of any thing like a latisGatory blue to the ne- no
gociation, and during five days more, while the Bri-
-nth Agent and his colleagues remained at Port au wh
Prince, only another interview tcok place. Masa-
Lives feized the opportunity of recapitulating a num- lity
ber of old grievances, complained of by Toussaint., To
and tending to (hew his doubts of our fincerity. He La
laid vat firers on the confidence repofed in him by the wit
people of Hayti, and of the dignity and independence '.
of his Government, which obliged him to reject the fall
terms we propofed, and to which he could not think to
of acceding, fince the ifland was open to the corn- Ge
mem of the whole world, France excepted. To a
propofition that he lhquld put us in poireffion .1 the nut
poll of the Mole during the war only, lie anfwered, MA
that it wai altogether impoffible, and that he had d''
given orders to ofellroy all the fortifications on the the
land fide of the town, which had been carried into Lei
effect at Port as Prince,land was to be done through I
the whole of St. Domingo. Our Agent returned to wli
Kingfton with the propofals of Ds suit ss in writ- Th
ing, after a folemn proraife that an anfwer Ihould be fan
fent from Governor NUGiIIT, at Jamaica, with all the
poffible difpat ch. sea
This promife watt punltually executed, for the Bri- the
tilh Agent did not remain quite a week at Kingfloo,
when he embarked in the fame frigate for St. Domin. 4
go, with Governor Ht.:owes Orr:atm. With the pa
exception of Come trifling modifications, it differed two
little from our firs propofals. The Governor thought the
it, however, expedient to fend prefents to Mae- „
mats and his principal officers, to the value of fe. the
veral hundred pounds, chiefly compofed of hats, „,
gold lace, epaulettes, and fabres. On the loth of Th
February our agents were landed at Jeremie, but as
D sssss less was then at Aux Cayes, no interview vet
took place until his arrival, which was the 25th. In. h„
(lead of relaxing in the demands he had before made, rani
be renewed all his objections, and even infilled, as a bat
preliminary, that we Ihould furnish him with one tin
million pounds of powder, equal to five hundred co
tons, with fifty thoufand mufkets and ammunition ; tw
fifty thoufand fabres for infantry, five thoufand for an,
cavalry, and fifty barrels of flints. So extraordinary het
a propufal was a convincing proof that he had no „
intention of treating with us; but it was confidered nal
the witell courfe to allure DESSALINES that his dc- in
mand thoold be laid before the Governor of Jamaica. m,
The agents 'awned to Kinglion, and, we under- ter:
flood, that in confequence of. Governor NUGENT'. ph
difpatches, all idea of a treaty with tkc Republic of for
Hayti is entirely relinquifhcd.
It is added to this account, that the great mars of th:
his officers and army are equally pet tidiiius and bru- aft
tal ; and it is confidently maintained by thole belt a ,
acquainted with his charaler, that no Treaty made he
with him, or any of then', can be keptlfacred. Such thi
a meafure would inevitably explore the lives and pro- co
.perties of our merchants to the caprice of thofe fero- an
cious banditti, who, if left to theilo'clves, mutt fall a an
prey to each other. They have now an army of In
nearly ao,ooo men on foot, without any material re- K,
feu toes for its fupport. The troops are miferahlY be
cloathed, receive no pay, and would be (hortly with- in
out the means of exiltence, as cultivation is neglected iii
throughout the ifland, were we to declare the ports in iii
a Rate of blockade. The afloat ration allowed to hi
each black foldier conlifts of a het-ling, and Ralf a
pound of bad bread. The whole population of St. fp
Domingo is not now iso,oco fouls, and of that niim.
ber not more than 23,000 are effective males. This lit
population. dimini(hing as it is, would decreafe (till ca
more rapidly, were they deprived of all external fuc fu
-
cour. With a people fo difproportioned to the (land. be
ing army, it may be eafily conceived to what a miter- fr
able (late the plantations are reduced. The few yi
which are Rill worked are cultivated by women, ail.
dren, and old men ; and all the fligar works and dif- 41,
fineries, except in a few inßances, have been totally vi
deflroyed. A quantity of Tatra, fufficient for the c,
confumption of' the military only, is not made in the F
whole Mend, and not a tingle pound of fuer is to be hi
obtained. It would Cam from the fentintents ex. Ii
preffed by Dassaxix ts during his conferences with he
our agents, that he intends to make coffee and cut tt
-
ton the chief commodities of the Wand.
As the. Blacks naturally look to another attempt on le
the part of France to recover the illand ; their relent
Wens is to deftroy all the fortifications round the c
towns, enders they protect the entrance of iii- bar. r,
boors. DESSAU,. ks does not affeet any myliery with a
refpat to the plan of operatic ns he I 4 lid • mined

of every defcription are, immediately upon the ap-
