EouiS, BY The gycce ofGod, Hing Of France
Gad NaUai9e, to III to whota these presents
alay come, greeting:
Since our return to France, all our
cares, after having concluded Peace, have
been employed III repairing the evils
which have been the consequence Of the
uSurpatlou.
Our colonies, even the most distant.
have always been present touS. We have
caused an account to be rendered TO us of
their actual condition, of the msfortunes
which they have experienced, and of their
wants.
The colony ofSt. Domingo has parti-
cuiarly fixed onr attention. We have
thought that it would be beneficial to
send thIther commissioners, in order TO
remove the uneasness of the inhabitants
of that island in relation TO their SITUATE
on TO put an end to their uncertainty :;
to determine the future to legitimate the
changes that events may have rendered
necessary, and especially those which
tend to meliorate the condition ofour sub
lects.
Our commissioners will have an under
standing with the present administrators
on every subject relative TO the legislati-
on of the colony, TO lis Internal govern
ulellt anu puDllc Ofuef 10 me civil and
military functiOnaries TO the condition
of individuals, and to the re-establishment
of the commercial relations with the NE
fropolis. They will point ont to us those
ot our subjects who have rendered
themselves worthy of our beneyolence +;
and who shall have mcriied reward
by their attachment and fidelity TO our
person.
For these causes, and on the report Of
OR minister secretary of state for the de
parilnent of the marine and colonies,
We have named and do name. as com
misslOners, the Sicurs vscount de Fon-
tangcs, lieutenant general of our armies

TO GENERAL PETION.
Geaeyai-1he flag which, for long
time, you have bravely defended, has, for
more than two years, been displayed
with enthusiasm over all the ancient do
minions of the king st. Domingo alone
delays, and at this, his majesty's heart is
previously affected. OCCUPIED i'm re-
pairing the mischefs, which have been
the consequence of the forgetfu!ness of
duty towards him, this goodprince wish
es 10 re-unite all those who compose his
family ; and his children Of St. Domin-
go are not less dear to him than those
whom he has found again in Europe.
The criminal efforts of the usurper, and
the evils which they occasjoned, have de-
layed the execution of the plans of tire
king now that his return has restored Sc
curIty and peace TO Europe; now that
order is re-established in the kingdom,
his majesty has directed It's To- repair fo
ST. Domingo, TO concert with those in
vested with power, the necessary means
TO restore 20 that country the security
winch 1T cannot enjoy III an unsettled
state to legitimate, IN his name, whaie-
yer needs IT. TO reward the services and
N"ttS VI tiiOSc WHO nave established ana
maintained order i'm the colony TO con
solldate, by bis royal will, the institutions
and the accidental changes in the state
OF persons and things, which events may
have rendered necessary in that island
and which are not incompatible either
with tire dignity ofhiS crown, or with the
regular interest Of the colony and the me-
trOpOlis.
The disasters which have desolated St.
Domingo, the public and private mlsfor-
tunes, are all known TO the king nothing
that concerns the glory of fhe French
name is unknown TO him: every thing
that could tarnish it, is blOtted from his
| memory More fortunately situated than
| the PROVINCES of France, St. Domingo,
rayaged also by the man, who has 50
greatly abused his power, has been sepa-
rated from France as long as France was
separated from her king. Ills majesty is
not ignorant, that if, on the one hand, the
| inhabitants Of this island constantly re
sisted usurpation, they did not displa,
less courage when they believed tIa
| they were threatened with foreign domin
alton. These are the only things which
he wishes always to remember.
