4RRETE
Tu facilitate the cemmerce of neutrals with
St. Domingo.
Extract from the regifler of the deliberations
°f le a X sn I °f the executive dire dory at
> St. Domingo.
THE agent of the Executive dirc&orj
at St. Domingo, considering that the rigor
ous measures employed, fir these leveta
years, against merchant vt-flels of neutrals,
have from ti fHVto time jjccafiojied a [t.-.gi-a
tion in the fuppJy of prqyifiona for
ny of St. Don.ingo ; and that there has re
flated therefrom the grcateft difficulties ir
the manner of entry ; that i: would be e
ven impossible to become acquainted with
the changes in that branch of th? Admin f
tration, unless reference were made to the
periods when the agents of the executive di
rectory (driven on one hand by ihe oppres
sive system which at the time existed, and
withheld on ihe other hand by the fear of
reducing the countiy to famine) found
themselves under the necessity ot disguising
by granting favours to fuel) neutral merch
ants, as were bold enough to expose them
selves to the arbitary proceeding-, of Freuch
Teamen, or to the rapacity ot tliofe of the
Eoglifh.
That finally, the agent, by his arrette oi
tfie 23d firumajre ( 13 1n November) iff a
year, determined, agrettably to the laws o(
the 31ft of Ja uary, lft of February ard 2d
ofM rch. 1791,,0 S.)ar. alphabetical t»r
iff of the riu us of entry ;
That the repiefentations from the c m
mei cial part of the col ny again ft this tariff,
as being ruinous if carried into execution,
induced ths agents to give i 10 a contrary
extreme, since by an arrete of the 28th Ni
vofc, the fame year (January 17) they indis
criminately frefd alt foreign articles, and laid
only clearance duties up»n s ticks of provi
sions, agreeably to the valuatton made trom
the ai\u -1 price of thofa productions : 1 hat
the enormous deficr occasioned by this total
exemption froui the entry duties, obliged
them to issue a third arre te the 241'' Li u
maire (14th November) 6th year, by which
the duties on imported dry goods, were el
tab !i(hed at theme of 12 percent, on the
invoice an exemption on some
articles cf proviiions - an exemption which
was afterwards extended to other articles ot
prcifions as well as to objcCts of the firft
Bt.tflity, by two tranflatcd decrees of the
ancient Ramond, of the 29th Erumaire
(19 h November) and 6th Frimaire (26th
November) of the fame year
Tiiat th»r atorcfaid arrete of the 24th Eru
maire (14th November) 6th year, inveilcd
the articles free uom duty with the power
of also freeing dry goods when the value
of those articles did not exceed the amount
Df one half oi the whole cargo : But that ar
ticles rendered duty fret by the interpreted
decrees had not the fatot power, unless the
firft third of a cargo codified ot articles of
proviiions made duty ti>. ■ by the arrrte ot
the 24th Erumaire (14th November) and
the 2d third of wi"nc, rendered free by
the decree of the 29th the fame month
(19th in/trftch cafe the third
(hare, composed of dry good 6, was also du-
That this complication of exemptions and
impotls had produced all the iuconvenien
cies which could necefTarily be looked lor,
since in proportion as the merchants inven
ted new pretexts to avoid the duties by falle
invoices and other like meafuies, the officers
of the revenue had recourse to frefh prtcau
tions to avoid being cheated ; and that n
nally they put a flop to neutral commerce,
by ordering vexatious searches, drayage and
storage.
In fiue, the owners and supercargoes of
neutral merchantmen, have prefentcd a pe
tition, the 9UI of month (27th of July)
in whibh ihey set forth to the agent how
necessary it is to restrain thole abufVs, by
which they fuffer a loss on their sales of to,
15, 20, and even 25 per cent, a cording to
the circumftar.ce of lcarcity or pleaty.
Considering that, by the arrcll of the
agent, of the 6th last Floreal (25th April)
and by the proclamation of the present prr
fident of the United States ot America, of
the 26th of June, 1799, the commercial in
tercourse bnween the United States and St.
Domingo, is renewed, founded upon the ba
sis of equal utility to both countries, and
which dees not left guarantee the ami'y and
sincere re-union of the French and Ameri
can Gvoernments, than the restoration of
other neutral powers to the enjoyment and
ex< reife of the rights of nations.
That the risks from French privateers
ceased from the time the executive directo
ry put a flop to their carii'mg, and that the
danger from the fide of the English did not
exist from the moment that the American
neutral nations would not iuffer
the piracies of the British government*
'That it would therefore be of advantage
to France, as well as to neutral nat ons, to
eftahl.fh in St. Domingo a fate mode of re
ceipt, which might accord with their mu
_tijalinteretls,

Dear Six,
I have received your letter by Capt.
AonaQtf, to -whom I delivered up the com
maod of the Cancellation, in the Road of
San*ly-Hook, lalt evehing. As you have
refuelled oF re, aft ate me nt of the cause of
mv re lig nation, a3 far as I could confident
ly give it, Tttdl readily comply with your
delire, for I can, consistently, relate the
wholC cavife, ind every circiimftance of it,
there being nothing in the dark j and I air,
not alhaavd of any p&rt of wy conduft
No, Sir, I put all my enemies at defiance.
In the year 1794, an Aft of CongreCs
was pafled for building fix frigates, for a
particular purpose, which aft set forth ; that
in cafe of a peace taken place between the
.United States and the Regency of Algiers,
all further proceedings (hould cease under
that aft. In eonfequence of this Law, fix
captains were appointed, and the operations
commenced for building the fliips, under the
fuperintendance of a captain to each frigate ;
but sometime after the work had progressed
conliderably, the peace, reftri&ing the'fur-
ther proceeding of building, took place, an
the whole bufmefs was flopped agreebly to
La* r but, another Aft, after a great
struggle in the House of
was soon part ; empowering the President to
continue the building of three frigates, am
pay, and rations, were provided tor the cap.
tains only ; and thole three (Barry, N»cho -
ion, Truxton,)'wire commissioned, and their
jSommi&fins numbered, i. 2. 3. in the anoye
order, and accordingly by Direc
tiecis of Prudent Waftnngton. Ihe pay
anc\fubfiftanck the other three (as they
had' become derailed officers) then ccabd,
unt/fl affairs of Nation called for an »$£
lAentatiou of th* naval armament, Ur I7|Sj
when the Pre Went nominated th'tn a iecond
tirrTT? to the Senate, who gave advice and
confl-n: to- thrir appointment ; coim-quent.y
their Commissions could only bear date in
niy opinion, from that time, there being no
permanent naval establishment— and their
firft appointment having died a natural death
with the law that gave birth to them.
It may again be Taid, as it has been argu
ed, that the suspension of the functions of
an officer, is no deprivation of his offiwe ;
or that (halting down the apples, is not
cutting down the tree. Phis is all true,
and will hold good where the law is alive to
continue the office ; but, whenever a law,
by which an office is created, dies, #
pointments (iwt contiuued by anotherrf«W
under it, tnufl die also : for a chief
ilrate, cannot, by our Constitution, conti
nue an office, beyond the life or cxiftence of
the law ; and the derangements in our army,
and subsequent appointmehtj of old officers
therein, give abundant proof of this fafl ;
and in the cafe of Talbot, the very cafe in
question ! you fee that the Piefident would
not risque the employment of him, on
board a (hip of war in the navy, until he no
ruinated him a second time to the Senate,
and had their advice and cpnfeat to his ap
pointment.
Thus, Sir, you have, agreeable to your
request, the whole story, told with candor
and in as concise a manner as pofiible. And
I now leave you to judge, whethei I could
as an officer, without despising myfelf, have
done otherwise than resign i and 1 also
leave you 10 judge of my feelings, aftei five
years faithful service (of the best part of
my life) attending the building of a (hip of
war, near two hundred miles tram ray fami
ly, and being conttantly employed on board
her in aftive scenes at sea, iince (he was fit
ted and manned—forfaiting domestic ease
and happinefs—incuring disadvantages in
private purluits.and losses of many thousands
of pounds, far beyond the prize money I
have acquired, & the emoluments received
from the service, which I am ready to (hew
if neciffaty, at;d to prove ; but this is -not
all, I am finally left, to commence a new
employment, and to set afideallthe arrang<T
meots I had m>de for fpendii gmy life, in

But, Sir, it was much better for me to
be thus chagrined and deranged, in prof
pe£U I had in view, and to fufftr a multi
tude of cifedvantages, other tbn I hate
enumerated, than one tittle ot : y honor
(hoiild be tinged, by (übmitting wiib tame,
ness and pufillan'-nity to that injuftite which
I feel—injudiccT fcich every palpitation of
Tny wounded fotu ?lls me, is ino<dmp.rehcn(i
ble- but, fir,'l swear, by that long friend
(hip that tu| subsisted between vis, that I
(hall forever feel, as a" true American ought
to feel; and the last drop of my blood I
will readily spill, at any time, by sea or jaisd,'
for the prcfervatiufl of the honor and inttr
eft of my gre-tful country, for such I ac
knowledge to have found it to me, in a va
riety of iuftances —but one exception has
separated me from ita ferviee.
It would, at this time, perhaps, beimpro,
per for me to communicate to you,
opinions of the officers of the government
that have come to my knowledge, on the
fubjed in question. I (hall, therefore, oniy
fay, that in 3 letter from ,»he Secretary of

IT is the prder and direaion of th ;

in what maimer Uiey have carried into ex'
ecution the resolutions of the former meet"
ings entrusted to their care—not for r-l
own fatisTaaion, because they have consult
ed me and afted under my own infpedion
in every step ; and even "if they had not, I
know their talents and dexter itytoo well
to doubt of their utmost exertion—their
prornifed reward depending on our success.
but it being neceffaly that we go hand in'
hand through thick and tbin, we must have
free and frequent meetings and ■communica
tions to enable its to draw together, a-d
therefore I call for the proceedings.
Gander Quack—(Laying before the com.
mittee his various publications in favor of

all the counties in the State : I have in the
molt artful manner, varied tbeftyle and ar.
guments, and fiuted with admirable finefle, my
address to the capacity—local and perioral
circunjftances—religious profeffion andpoli.

I will read extracts from a few—[he reads
extracts from 152 letters, on'which the com.

joke that 1 Ijave in feme degree merited
your very high opinion ot me—your appro
bation is (at ptefent aside) a fufficient reward
fur r,,y exertions—a fufficient motive for an
untemittcd continuance of them. You fee
that 1 have been liberal in trumpetting forth
die praises of our patron, nor have I been
(paring in imputing faults and even vices to
his competitor; that 1 have even created
virtues in the one and vices in the other,
which'were never yet before discovered by
eye.
You frown Colonel, as djfyou did not ap.
prove of my plan—l will convince you that
it is the bed which could be adopted, beciufe
it is best calculated to attain our end. In 1
private conversation as we came to the meet
ing, you said that the attacks whicn I had
made on Mr. Rofs being so notonoufly void
of foundation, will not only serve to rouse
tie contempt and exertions of his friends,
but will bring over to them most of the up.
right tiyen throughout the State who yet it.
main with usr* I answer, you ju&je of the
p.ople large by yourl'elf;—you suppose
then; eWillv well informed—equally capa
ble of judging ; you are iniftaken. Besides,
]'. is not to the well informed part of the
Cumn.unity we apply, our chief address muit
be to the most ignorant part, and depend
upon it my publications are calculated to
produce all the influence upon them which
we can desire. Where Mr. Rofs and fare
known, it is trie that unfounded charges
might produce the effeft which you are
*t\aid of; byt it is the most lucky circuit)-
Afuicc in the-world for us, that in rnar.y
Ufcg of the State he is but little known,
and'in some not at all—(and I will keep
nwSSlf concealed) I will take care to confine
qiyfclf to such charges, as if true, would
have great influence on people of little or no
information, and being boldly made, after
my manner, the talfity or improbability of
them will not be enquired intq, nor known,
till they shall have answered our purpose.
7'efer. We may depend on the votes of
the Germans throughout the State; I have
the most influential charaflers
among them and informed them that I have
made them over from myfelf to M'kean, to
whom here execute and deliver a regular
bill of sale of them.
;>Doctor. There is no doubt of our fuc
cels; if ■we can keep up a ferment in the
minds of the people by our publications;
but if we give them time to think for t hern -
lelves," we have no chance. But the devil is
in it if we fail, as we can out-write and out
tie our opponents, and in scurrility, they are
no match for us, we can make the wone
appeajCrtje better reason, though all be falls
