Approved, May 3, 1802. Th. JEFFERSON, P ref dent of the United States, From the National Intelligencer, We that a communication has been made to our government by Mr, Pichon, general cormpercial agent of the French Republic, in relation to the recent events of' St. Domingo, from which it appears, that in consequence of the repre sentations from our government he had exe.rted bis interpolation, in the ftrengeii manner, refpefting the treatment expe rienced by Melfrs. Rogers and Davidlbn, and has rectified certain erroneous accounts which had excited unfavorable ientiments towards them. Accompanying the communication Is, we learn, the copy of a letter received by Mr. Pichon from the quarter-mailer ge neral of the army of Sr, Domingo, writ ten in obedience to the ioliruftions of ge neral Leclerc. The letter states, that owing to the cpnvulfioi)s attendant on the arrival of the French forces in the iiland, thcrighrs of commerce have unavoidably frittered. The appnjhpnfion refpefting a future (up ply of provisions, occasioned by the con flagration of the Cape, induced the necef frty of d,hefting their attention to the American dripping ; and the dread of choir failing into the hands of the enemy pro duced a,general embargo throughout the colony. Though this ujeafum may b^vc operated lariMy on the genera! Iwcre»,„r trade, the ind.».d u al s cottld-not c MfW „ Ot tueir per lona 1 treatment. The rf a • iitions fooarticles tofupply the army i not made till the rates were fixed . accoi j ing to the.prices of the place. The prices were fixed at 1 2 dollars W the barrel ot flour, 2,4 f or the barrel of lard, 1 5 for the barrel of beef—one q uar . ter payable in cash, and three quarters m bills on France. These prices are to have been higher than those antecedent to the arrival of the -French forces, and higher than could have been cxpefled to have been received from the inhabitants under the dreadful circumllances attend, ing the conflagration. As soon as the a/ my bad feoured itfelf in the possession 0 f the mod important positions, and had rettored tranquility to the inhabitants the general in chief had nothing more at heart than to replace commerce in all its privileges, and to afford it special pro. j The embargo was raised at the lame time throughout the whole extent of ] the island,; the ports of St. Domingo, Anx Cayes, Port .Republican and 'the Cape were open to all foreign veffds" and the. ad mi nil! rat ion employed itfelf ia fettling the accounts of the Americans and more than a month since it had liqui! dated. all its expepces.

The greatest liberty is given to the con. fignees in thedifpofmion of their cargoes; and the highcil confidence is repofed.in the adminidrarion; which confidence, th> quarter mailer general truds will be felt in the United States, whereby the re. fpurces ufuaily received by St. Domingo trom the United States may be relied on, Ic is dated that the payments of one fourth in cafli and three fourths in hills of exchange, were confined to the Cape; in all the other ports the whole payments have been in calh.; and in Port Republi. can they have been made to the amount of one million. ages- Jsg«a=i=g=3r=gi-t!L jst SHERI/F’s SALES.
