Icis impolible for me not to confider the Two fuch Offices, more eipecially yin the prefent reduced Efablithment Stare of the of Finances of the Coleny, as an unwarranted and extravagant Wafte the Public Money,andan unneceffary Accumulation to the Deb: of Ifand, for the Payment of which it itands piedged by the Terms ofthe of Capitulation. Whazever Idea may be annexed by the the Situarion of 2 Depury, hc mult be confidered here in Council the to Light with the Agent from our own fame cd by their reipective Inands, who are Perfons appointrers as they are inftruéted Legillatures, to reprefent or folicit fuch Matconnefted with the Executive upon; but perfeétly diftinét from and unAuthority of the Ifland, and in nowife interfering with the Communication berween that Authority and Iis Majefty's confidential Scrvants here. Having faid thus much, I add, that the Appointment of a Second Agent for St. fhall only on a Suppolition of the moft favourable Extenfion of Donsingo, His even Poffellions in that liland, muft be immediately difcontinued. Majefty's I cannot conclude this Letter without particularly noticing fome Reprefentations which have been madeto me on the prefent Conftitution the Council of Juflice at Port-au-Prince, of which I have reccived noof- of Acialinformnation, notwithitanding my L.etter to Sir Adam the 6th ofOétober lalt, which required him to tranfnit fuch Williamfon of ce As might be requifite fer receiving His Majefty's Pleafure Information, Efablifhmen: of fuch Civil Offices as the Prefent Government of on the Colonya avfolutely required, with the Amount ofthe Salaries and of the Fecs and Perquifites." Thefe Reprefentations ftate, that the the Council at prefent confifts of14 Councillors, above cond Doyen, with a Firltand Second including a Firft and Sevocate Generul; whereas the Prelident, a Procureur and AdEftablifhment of Perfons the Council, and who only received Salarics in 1789 when the forming entire, confifled, as I underfland, of only Eleven Colony was fident, and One Procureur General.

Confidering the fimall comparative Portion of Territory which we now poffels, and the offenfive Military Operations about to take place, in Conformity to the Inftruélions which you will receive from Mr. Secretary Dundas in this Behalf;, which Operations, from their Nature, mult in a great Meafurc leffen, if not entirely fulpend for a Time the Civil Jurifdiation and Authorities, it feems abfurd to fuppofe that a Council of Juftice, confifting of Eleven Members and One Prefident, who joins tohis Situation that of Chief Juftice of Police, with a Procureur General, muft not be fufficient for thc Adminifration of Juftice in all the Diftriéts FOW in our Poffeffion. Such of them as are not neceffarily employed at Port-au-Prince, fhould taketheir Tour ofDuty, and be employed in the feveral Diftriéts; fuch a Mode of Proceeding on their Parts, with the Affiftance of the Juges de Paix of each Diftriet (who I underftand receive no Salarics) would, no Doubt, render feparate and diflinét Courts of Juftice in thofe Diftriets unneceffary for the prefent, and thercby produce a confiderable Saving to the Public. Not having received from Sir Adam Williamfon, as I have already mentioned, the Information required by my Letter of the 6th of Oétober laft, it is not poffible to determine what Civil Offices may bc requifite in the prefent Situation of Affairs in St. Domingo; but, pending Military Opcrations, they muft neceffarily be but very few, and therefore the only Direétion that can be given on this Point, and which His Majefty's Service, not lefs that the Intereft of the Colony, requires, is, that Civil Appointments fhould be as limited in Number, and as ceconomically paid, as poffible. For while the Military Conteft for the Country continucs, little other than Military Authority ought to prevail; and upon that Principle, when no urgent Reafon operates to the contrary, you ought to regulate your Conduét conformably to the Powers vefted in you by your Commiffion, which both authorizes and direéts you to be guided by the Law Martial, where Circumflances require it, Intereft of the Colony, requires, is, that Civil Appointments fhould be as limited in Number, and as ceconomically paid, as poffible.
