Cloih Aug4st, 1867
Sir, .,. =, .t,r,,,
Since the letter had the honor TO write
to you on the ed Thrrmidor, oonee rning
the armarnents which were making ~ the
ports of the Unie.d States for the western
part of St. Domingo, freak information apon
this point confirms every thing which hal
beep received. The advsHturcs Tor ST. Do.
mngo are publicly mad. vessels sre arm.
ed for war to project the conyoys; and il, 10
in virtue Of Contracts, entered Into between
Des.alines and American merchants, that
the latter send hin, supplies aud munitions
Of war. - ~. a..
Iadd, sir, to this letter, which hsre The
honor 10 write to you, copy of y .eulsncs
given a, Halifax, in the inaelef ora mer-
chant of Ncw-York, who had conveyed 10.
to the reyolsed part Of St. Domingo, threr
cargoes Of gunpowder, and WAS taken On
his rssurn by au English ffigate.
Heven in the English tribunal, wh.rt
this prize was condemned, the whole island
Of S.. Domingo was considered a. French
colony, how can the federal government, tu.
lerate that the rebels Of this Colony should
continue to receive from America, sneeors
against parsn. country. I,.is impossible
that that government should be ignorant OF
the arrasmeais making in IT, ports. Too
much publicity Is given to them, mot to rem.
der it responsible, and J, ough. to perceive
thas it is contrary to:every system Of peace
and good friendship, 10 suffer 'long~r in isa
ports, armarnrnis evidently directed against
France -
Withou. doubt the federal government
would not wish, in order 20 favor. certajs
private speculations, to give, new faci,itie.
70 'ebellion and robbery |; fbrigantlagel the
! tolerance Of Z commerce 90 seapdsious
would be uDwor,hy.ofit. Neither your go
.venmsnt nor his majasty can b. any longer
indifferent to it.; and ~ the sesi0a,sness Of
the facts, which occasion this Bmplains,
obliges. his majesty to consider as good
prize, every thing which shall enter the
ports Of St. Domingo occupied By. ,e-
bells, and every thing coming out he per-,
suades himself, thar the govtrntnent Of the
United Sates, viii take on i,s part, ssainsr
