§ From Louis-Marie Turreau. 25 July 1806, Baltimore. Is informed that some citizens of the United States maintain a forbidden intercourse with the revolutionaries of St. Domingue; that the law prohibiting this shameful commerce is eluded daily;1 and that the perpetrators thus manage to compromise the good faith of the federal government. Believing that a just and liberal government cannot be disposed to allow the slightest infringement of the laws, Turreau will not make any further observation on the repeated infractions of the act prohibiting commerce with the Blacks of St. Domingue. Thinks JM will agree that if the executive agents responsible for the surveillance of the ports carried out their duties with more attention and rigor, these abuses, now crimes since passage of the law, would not take place. Believes that the federal government need only be informed of them to permanently put an end to them.
