SIR,
| have feveral times had the
honor TO call your attention to
the commerce carried on from
the ports Of the United States to
thofe of St. Domingo occupied
BY the rebels. Thefe CONNER
cial communications would ap-
pear 10 be almolt daily increaf-
ed. In order to cover their
true deltination, the vefTeIs are
cleared for the Wet t--Indies,
without a more particular deGg-
nation Of the place, and with the
aid of rhefe commiflionS, provi-
flons, arms, and other objects of
fupply, OF which they itand in
need, are carried to the rebels
Of St. Domingo.
Although thefe adventures
NAV be no more than the refult
of private fpeculations, the Gov
ernment of the United States is
not the lefs engaged to put an
end to them, by the conlequence
of the obligations which bind TO-
gether all the civilized powers,
all thofe who are in a fate of
peace. No government can fec
ond the fpirit of revolt of the
fu ieas Of another power; and
as in this fate of things, it can
not maintain communications
with them it ought not to favor
thofe which its own fubie6s
maintain.

The adventures for that liland,
are making with fcandalous
publicity. They are lupported
by armed vedels--at their return.
teatts are given, in order to vaunt
the iuccels of their fpeculations 4;
and the acknowledgment, even
the eulogies Of the Government
are 70 much relied upon, that it
is at thefe feafts, and in the midR
OF an immense concourfe, where
are found the frR authorities Of
the country, that the principles
or the Government Of Haiti are
celebrated, and that vows are
made for its duration.
have the honor, Sir, to tranl-
nit to your Excellency, an ex-
tract OF an american Journal, in
which are contained fundry de-
tails Of a feat, given in the port
OF New York, on beard of a
convex which had arrived from
St. Domingo.
The ninth to2f, given to the
government of Hayti, cannot
fail, Sir, to excite your indigna-
ton. II is not, after having
covered every thing with blood
and with ruin, that the rebels of
ST. Domingo, ought to have
found apologilts IN nation, the
friend of France.
But they do Tot ftop at their
frit fpeculations.--The comps-
ny Of merchants which gave a
fealt on the return of their ad-
venture, is preparing . fecond
convoy, and proPofes to place it
under the efcort of leveral arm
ed vellelS.
have the honor, Sir, to give
you this information, in order
that you may be. pleaCed to cali
the mott ferrous attention Of your
government towards a ferries of
fa6ts, which it becomes its dig
nifty and candor, no longer TO
permit. The federal govern
ment cannot 70 far feparate itfelf
from the inhabitants Of the Uni
ted States, ss to permit to them,
acts and communications, which
il thinks itfeif bound to intetdi6
to itfelf or as to think That it
can difinguilh its own reiponG-
bility from that of its fubic6s,
when there i, in quetion an un-
paraIIeled revolt, Whole circun
ltances and whole horrible confe-
quences mutt alarm all nations,
and who are all equally interelt-
ed in feeling it ceafe.
France ought 10 expe6 from
the amity of the United States,
and his Eajelty charges me, Sir,
to rcquef in his name, that they
intcrdi6t every priyate'adventure
which, under any pretext or de-
fgnation whatfoever, may be
defined TO the ports Of St. Do

Moreover this note, founded
