Gaudaloupe Insurgents.
The following documents were laid be
fore the executive council of the common
wealth of Maflachufetts a few days since,
who, we unflerftand, have directed them to
be forwarded to the Senators of that Rate from
Congress to be submitted to fihe government
of the United States.
BOSTON, Jan. 15, isor.
SIR, J
I have the honour to inclofe to your Ex
cellency a representation of the chairmen of
the fele&men of Boston, in regard to three
blacK men, aliens and foreigners, who have
beenfent here from the Weft-Indies.
The passports of two of them were shewn
to me by the Selectmen, about 13 days ago.
By those documents it appears, that these
have been engaged, claiming the rank of ge
neral officers, in the parties hostile to each
other inGaudaloupe ; the third is in the cha
racter of a servant. By this and other cir
cumstances of a fimiliar nature, it appears
that the authority on the French iHands in
the Weft-Indies, have adopted the plan of
transporting to the United States, black peo
ple, whom the government there confider as
having been engaged in a rebellion, whom
they are afraid to retain there, and whom
they do not incline to execute.
This plan is in itfelf derogatory to the ge
neral and particular government of our na
tion, and dangerous to the fafety of the coun
try. I conceive, that the rights of reject
ing and expelling aliens and foreigners, is
upon the principles of National law, necessa
rily incident to every free and independent
Hate. Imprefied with these ideas, and with
1 view to deter others from coming here, -
the application of the feledlmcn, I cor.clu ! -
ed to cause these persons to be commict-L
until the Supreme executive should be in
in feflion. To avoid this they have continu
ed on board the vessel which brought them,
with a view to land when the governor and
council should be aflembled.
1 am, with relpeCt,
Your Excellency’s mod humble ferv’t.
JAMES SULLIVAN.
His Excellency Governor Strong .
January 13.
SIR,
I take the the liberty to ask your attenti
on, as Attorney-general, to a fubjedt which,
may, in its iflue, involve serious consequen
ces to the town of Boston and the Common
wealth at large. The orig Argo, capt. Cufh
ing, owned by a merchant of this town, ar
rived a few days since from the island of
Gaudaloupe. The captain immediately
made a representation to me, that he had on
board three blacks, who had been forcibly put
in his vdTel at sea, by a French National cut
ter. Two of these men have been general
officers among the blacks in that island, and
rhe other has been servant to one of them.
Capt. Cufhing was fearful he should incur
fome blame or penalty by introducing fucii
charadters here, and wilhed to deliver them
to the civil power. I accordingly consulted
several of the Magistrates aud the Town-At
torney, & requested your opinion what should
be done with them, after fome consideration,
it was thought best to keep them on board
the vefTel until the governor and council fhoulcfl
be together.
Cape. Cufhing informs me, he is ready to
produce them when demanded, and willlub
mit with his sailors to any examination, ref
pcdling the manner of their being put on
board.—These blacks are furrufhed with paf
ports, orders, to repair to the American Con
tinent, from General La Crofle, the French
commandant of the Island,

Your obedient servant,

Commonwealth of Maflachufetts.
Suffolk, ss. 80/ion.
Be it known that on the 13th day of Janu
ary, A. D. 1803, came before me, William
Harris, Notary Public and justice of the
peace, within and for the county of Suffolk, i:n
the Commonwealth of Maflachufetts, duly
appointed, commissioned ano sworn, dwell
ing and pra&ifing in Boston, personally came
Captain Benjamin Cuffing, late maftcr of the
brig Argo, and solemn oath to the truth of
the annexed declaration, by him fubferibed.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto fee
my name, and affixed the seal of my office, at
Boston, aforefaid, the day, month and year,
firft above mentioned.
Wm. HARRIS.
Know all men by these preients, that I,
Benjamin Cuffing, late maftrr of brig Argo,
from the port of Baffaterre, in the island of
Guadaloupe, do declare, that on the 27th day
of November last, being nearly ready for sea,
with a cargo of sugar, {received in return for
a part of my outward cargo) bound to Boston,
I was informed by the capt of the port that
he was ordered by General La Cross tt) em
bark 6 negroes on-board the firft American
veffcl, and on enquiry he informed me they
were Brigand chiefs, promifingto put on board
fufficient provifion* for their paffage* remain
ing for fome time totally silent in regard to
paying any passage his execu
tion of the general’s order, I promptly object
ed dclaring, that 1 Would not violate the laws
of the United States, to vrhich 1 ffould be
amenable and poffibiy at the expense of per
sonal imprisonment, were I to permit the ne
groes on board 5 also, that I was bound to the
moft northern of the United States in the
winter feefon, and that the negroes would
freeze to death. This the captain of the port
obviated, by recommending my drowning
them. Finally, 1 declared that if he infilled
on putting the negroes on board I should
abandon the vcffel, proreft against their ille
gal proceedings and leave the Island. After
this the captam of the port observed, that he
would infoim general La Cross of my deter
mination, and what had passed between us.
On the evening of the fame day (November
37th) Iw as a o ain applied to by the captain of
the port, who informed me, that general La
Cross had ordered him to pu' fc only three
[out of the fix negroes) on my 7 veffeK
I replied, that 1 deemed the crime as great for
three, or one, as a dozen* & I would not
receive them on any cond jt ' lon whatever.
