COWIN? OF ST. DOMINO°.

In the Sitting of the Chamber of Peers of the 6th
.of Aegust, a Member rose to make a proposition re-
listive to the colonists of that island. According to the
05th Article of the Regulations, every Peer had a right i
.to convert into a proposition any petition he might,
adopt, and which was supported by two other Peers.
The petition be was about to read was addressed to 7
the Chamber by the proprietors and colonists or St.
Domingo resident in Paris. It was authenticated by
:their sit,ortures, and supported by aevetal Peers.-e-
VariojNlembers of Xhe Chamber of Deputies had ,
Oleo given in their adherence to it; and its object in-.
Mrested not only those who presented it, but an N.
Suite number of families united to them by affinity ,
or business. No one was ignorant that the rapid
increase of cultivatirm at St. Domingo had the most I
happy influence on the agricultural and commercial;
lodustiy of two-thirds of France; that the produce '
.of that colony formed a balance of about eighty mil-
lions in our favour. The business now was to re-
store that fine and unfortunate oolony.
The petitioners set forth, that this island, so
ishundent in rich products at the period of 1789, and
.tae important to the navigatien,,the commerce, and
,industry of the kingdom, was at this moment torn
by too Cctions, who disputed the supremacy with
arms ; but who, weakened by continual combats,
nod all the excesses which anarchy brings in its
pail'. are now reduced to some undisciplined
bands, incapable of u 'distending oar brave war-
riors. Tiny observe that peach! gale •to France

colony, doubtless, required some modifications suit-
ed to circumstances. such were the subjects which
.the proprietors and colonists of Bt. Domingo recom-
mended to the wisdom of the Chamber of Peers. ,
The presenter of the petition also announced, that,
according to certain information, merchants, both
French and foreign; who knew the resources of the
Colony, were ready to employ their capitals for its
restoration. lie had therefore drawn op the plan of
a law upon the snbject, which be then gave in, and
which the Chamber appointed to be taken into con.
