A certain ychn B.

The printers throughout this fate are refpeftfully solicited to give the above a place in their papers. GEORGE HERB. sa.\annah, February iif7 f iBo3. (41) 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, 1 am, fir, refpedtfully, Your obedient servant, CHARLES BULFINCH. Hon. James Sullivan, efq. P. S. Since writing the above, I am informed that the ichooner Nancy, capt. Cotefworthv, has arrived this day with one black paflen ger, put on board by force. 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.
