Sovereign of a nation too long oppressed, whiCh has grafered =the no..st cruel persecutions, and which by "its energy, constancy, rota age', ;and valour, `has succeeded in effecting its liberty nod ittdepen 'dence : otn- only end, our unceasing anxiety, has been, to give to it a rank among civilized States, by consecrating our labours to the happiness of a 'good, brave, and generous people, which has en trusted to us. the care of Its destiuies. It is under favourable circumstances in Which liberal and dignified ideas appear to predominate 'over those disastrous times when m;tnkind groaned beneath :he most horrible tyranny, and under 'which we beh o ld the•SoVereigns of Europe. solely engaged at present in rendering their people hap py, that we deem it our anty to raise our,voice, and to justify, at the tribunal of nations, the legi timacy of our independence. . A simple relation of facts, a plain narrative of the events which have produced our independence will he sufficient to demonstrate by the must sa tisfacrory'evidence, to the whole world, our rights and the justice of our cause. 'We shall not attempt to depict the deplorable 'situation into which we were plunged before( the ` , epoch of our emancipation. The world knows, tat. for upwastts : of 15 years we were afflicted by the grievous yoke of slavery, - condemned to con tempt and punishrhent: The recital of ; our pro tracted tnisfortunes, and the description of the hor rible tortures we have suffered during the colonial system, are the peculiar province of our history, which will transmit them to posterity. It is our earnest wish to pass over these times of opprohiutu and iniquity, and arrive at the era Nvhen general liberty was proclaimed by the agent,s of the French Government, and sanctioned by France herself, during several years of conucc kiwi, and of mutual and uninterrupted eorrespoo deuce between the Governments of the ONO coun tries. We were Worthy of liberty,. from our fidelity and attachment to the mother country ; we have proved our gratitude to her, .when reduced to our own resources,. inflexible to menaces, inaccessi ble to seduction, deaf to proposition, we • braved misery, famine, and all kinds ,of privations, and ffnally triumphed over both her external and in ternal enemies. We were then far from foresee ing, that'l2: years after Ward s ., as a reward for so much perseverance,. so many sacrifices, and so much blood, I;rance Would 'wish to deprive us, in the mostharbarous Manner, of. the niost pre eions of all possessions—liberty. - Under the - administration of tle,Governor-Ge- . rieral Toussaint Louverture,. Hayti ruse from its ashes", and every thing seemed to promise a happy futurity. The 'arrival of General Hedouville Changed the appearance of things, and gave a death blow to public tranquillity. We shall Pot enter - into a , detail of :his infrigues with the na tVian General 4igroid, whorn he persuaded to 1-e -volt against his legitimate Chief. We shall merely . tt.t.t before thie agent departed be disturb-r • ,ed every thing, by th;mviag amongst us the brands of discord, anil it was only after the flowing of . torrents of-blood • that public tranquillity was re established. AlwayS' occupied in the restoration 'of peace, Toussaint Louverture, -by his paternal administration, bad recalled the reign of the laws, of morality, of, piety, of learning, of industry.— Agriculture "and comm e rce fl our i s h e d . He pa tronised the white colonies, particularly the planters ; his solicitude, nay, -his preference, had been carried to such a height, that he was loudly blamed for being more attached to them than to cotintrytnen. This reproach. was not tvithout some foundation, for some.mouths before the ar rival of the French he sacrificed -his own-nephew, General IVldyst, because he had rot observed his orders for the protection ,of the colonists. This -act of the Governor, and the great confidence he . . placed in the French Government were the prin cipal causes of the' public reception. t-he French experienced at 'Hayti. Indeed, so stron g was hi s confidence in that ..Govertnnent that he had 'dis missed the greater part of-the trans of the line. Such was the situation of affairs whilst the' peace of Amiens was ne,sociating.. It was scarcely eoncl tided when a powerful army landed o n our coast, which surprised as in a mo swot of perfect security, and plunged us 'into an abys s of misfortunes. Posterity will scarcely believe that in a philans ttiropic and enlightenjd age so abominable au - enterprise took place. From the bosom of art enlightened nation a- swarm of barbarians went forth' to destroy and load with fetters a whole civilised am' nnotleriding people. It was not-enough to use torte; hut the better to insure the success of the expedition, it was necessary to use per dious and shameful meaus. It was necessary to sow division amongst us in order to cause a division fas'onrable to their objects. Thew neglected nothing to attain this execrable end. Th r chiefs ofdilferent colours who were in France, even the sons of the GO - vernor Toussaint Lonvertare, were brought over in the expedition —even they were deceived,' like us, by that masterpiece of perfid y , the Proclam a ti on o f the First Consul, in w hi c h . h e said You-are all equal and free before God and the Republic.' This was his declaration, while the instructions given tb General Leclerc positively enjoined the imposition of slavery.. It Was not enough to take men as wit nesses of-his rierjory, hut the Deity most also be insulted-by horrible blasphemy. The greater part of the people, deceived by these fallacious promises, and long.. accustomed to consider themselv es French, submitted without resistance. - The Governor so little expected to hare an enemy to oppose, that he had not even given any 'orders to his 'Generals in case of an attack. . On the appearance of the French squadron in the east of the island, if any Generals did resist, it was merely because the hostile manner which they were summoned to. surrender had oblig e d thstn to consult • only their duty, their honour, and the circumstances in which they were placed.—[To prove these assertions reference is made to some official documents which are annexed to the Manifesto.] resistattee of some months. the Governor yi e ld e d to \ the pressing intreaties and to th e "formal protestations- of Gen.. Leclerc, t t .tat perf ec t lib erty sliould be. aintained, and , that Trance tivould never destroy her noblest work. On this basis- the Pentx"''as nvg ,, ciated with the French, and Gover nor Toossaint, having laid thorn his authority, quietly re tired to the re treat he'liad ch osen. The_FrvO e h bad scarcelyextended their dominion over the 'bole isJirud; more by cunniug arid persuasion thatihy force of al7ls>,*h ets th ey began tnput in execution their h orr ibl e system of slaveryond destruction.. The better to accomplish their plans, a essfrespondence was fahrieated by Maqliiavelic andnnercena ry scrib e s —d e signs were'zittributed to To;,,,,aint which he,h a d never thought of. ',V ht, quietly i l reposing in his habitati on of 'Pongandin, true.::--the protection of solemn treaties; lie was loaded with chains ; conveyed to France with his -family in a vessel called the Nero ; and ail Europe knows - how he terminated his onhappy career, amidst the tortures and horrors of the dungeon of Chateau de Joux, in Franche- Cannti; :tact was the recomPence reserved for. his attach ment to France, and for the eminent services which he had -rendered berand‘the colonists. Frost this moment the signal for arrests wits given through chot the isrand. All tho:•it with fiall .displayed strength of Injt - 01,, or superior talents, at the period when we claimed the ~rights; o f - man, were first seized upon.- EVen the traltots - • • 1-1 . vanguards) , 'who- haa tile tench armts, v gaiding eir and pointing - out their telloW 2 eilizens ro their venge ince-, were not spared. At first it was a`tterupted to sell them ice foreign colonies; but tbis not bavitig suceeeded, the French resulted to carry - them to pounce, ' where oppressive. lithouv, the.gulleys, fetters, and dungzonl aWaited them. Theis the Colonists, whose nonincr had progressively increased, think ing their Empire alreadyttstabliAed, ceased td disseiuble, Openly declared that slave) v sets rt! , esta:Aished, and acted confer usably with their .deelaratiort. 'These Shameless men desired, that those should at subtnit to-the yoke of slavery who had distingnished theonselVes and been uterol to their country both in civil and military capacities : that virtuous and honourable Magistrates;, that Warriors covered with wounds, Whose blood had been s;iilfed in the cause rf FrLosce, and of liberty, should be' degraded by again becoming, slaves: • • Ths'tireag.colonists, who bad hut just obtained possession of heir\estates, whose empire was held together by a thread,e ah:eady decides! Which should be the first victiws of their ven geance. Then arrived the infamous 'decree of Buonaparte, which confirmed the re-establishMent of our slavery; and the better to insult our. inisery, fie employed tosvards us the same. 'system of delusion Which he usually made use of towards the people of Europe. This decreewas brought by a traitor call ed Hercule, a black oti/cer, who was the ercature of Buona parte. The proud and liberticide faction of the Colonists, and sellers of hurnati pests, which since the Revolution has annoyed every succeeding government of France, with phms, . projects, and atr oc i o us and extravagant memorials; tending to our destruction—this •faction,• tormentedsby the recollec ' thus of the deSpotism s'vbich it exercised iii Hayti, agitated by a crowd of contending passions, employed all possible means to seize again ins the prey which hid escaped froni it. Under the reign of, the Constituent Assembly, it supported independ ence; under that of the Jacobins, sided with the Terrorists; when Buonaparte': governed, it was violently-Buonapartist : and, in short, it put.on'the mask of all parties to render them 'favourable. It was' thus that it persuaded Buonaparte to undertake the unjust expedition against Hayti. It was the • .same faction which; after persuading bins into that Measure, tarnished him with pecuniary resources, by subscription lists, which were opened at this period. It was this faction, in a word; which caused the blood of our countrymen to flow so .abundantly-;—which instigated !the unheard of. punishments which we have felt, and which could have beets invented only by colonists, hardoncd in, and habituated to, all . sorts of crimes. It is to the Colonists that Praikce.owes that loss of a numerous arrny i 'which perished on the plains and inountaius of Hayti : to than is attributable that' shameful enter prise which has imprinted an 'indelible stain on the Wench name. • • We are persuadm J, after the cruel experience we have had of the spirit whica animates,these Colonists and traffickers in human flesh, and their file supporters, that they will employ all their aceirstoined means.to - engage the French Cabinet in a new enterprise against us. If ever this enterprise should tan!' .place--and that, it will We hardly believe-.to this cast, the,eneuties of the human race, we shall be indebted for it; for we are far from imputing such an intention to those Eu ropeans 'who have no knowledge of the colonial system of which we have been the victims, anti of the hiorrihle misfor tunes which we have suffered. What interest had the French in cart ing the horrors et war into the heart of a nation which 11, proud of belonging to them ? What interest had they in coming to bury themselves in our destructive climate, and in renderiugthemselves Mit instruments of the colonists, to satiate their thirst fur riches and for vengeance ? Nevertheless, the greater part of the people began to thke op arms to preserve lire and liLmerty. This first. mov e m en t alarmed the French, and appeareffserious.enough to General Leclerc, to require the convoca:ion of an Extraordinary As sembly of the colonists, in order to adopt meastires the best adapted to restore a better state of. affairs; but these colii nists, far from relaxing their atrocious principles in conse quence of imperious circumstances, unanimously answered in these words—" No shL:ely, no colony." ,As Members of this Council, its vain we raised our yoke to prevent the completion of the ruin of our country-in rain we made representations on -the injustice of imposing slavery on freemen—in vain, from our knowledge of th spirit and love of liberty which animated our count r ym e n, we asserted thilt it was the •only means of detaching this country for twer fruits France. All was useless. Convinced, then, that nn means of concili'ation'existed, and that it was necessary to choose between slavery and an honourable death, we r7l.Ve i nfOrmat ion of the state of things to our A:Hem-citizens, ,mitt) had 'their eves fixed upon us ; and we all unanimously took up arms, resolved to die or to expel for ever the tyrants from our soil. As to General Leclerc, who had already an. Pounced the submoiSsiott of the island, and had even received letters of congratulation, on the supposed conquest of Hayti, fruits the' maritime towns of- France, where the principal fol lowers of the slave Trade resided, ashamed of having .held out illusory hopes, vexed at not baying been able to COIISUILI mate this detestable enterprize,. fearing the approach of a terrible war, despair shortened his days, , and hurried hint to ins. grave.. . Among otheecrimes which distinviished the administration of Leclerc, that practised against `lie tlaytian General Mao repas will excite the indignation of any heart susceptible of pity. Maurepas, of gentle manners, honest, and respected. by his conntyymen, who became one of the first among Frenchmen, and who had rendered them the most services, was suddenly carried away to Port de Paix, and put on board the Admiral's ship in ;he road of the Cape, where, after having been fastened to the toast, two old epaulets were placed iiiderision upOn his shoulders, anoi an old General's hat put upon his head, with nails, such as are used in the buildings. of ships; in this frightful situaton. after having satiated the savage joy of those cannibals, he was precipi tated with his wife and children into the warts. Such was the punishment of this virtuous-and unfortunate soldier! To the Government of Leclerc sueceededthat .of. Roclianr beau. This monster; The agent of Iluonaparte, was polluted by every species of crime sp:lred 'neither sex, infancy, tow old age; be surpassed in cruelty the Most refined villains in ancient or modern times; the gibbet was raised every where, the drowning and burning machines, and all kinds of puzmishments, were pet in practice by his orders. He in,. vented alitid of Machine where victims of both sexes, heaped one upon another, were suffocated by, the vapour of sulphur. In his senseless rage, he went to the expellee of bringing is pack of blood hounds from Cuba to this island: they were brought br a Fla.:adman named Naailles, of an illustrious family, wilt), during the. Revolution, was the' first who be trayed his benefactors; and thus was the b moan race given up to he devoured by dogs; and those animals partmili of time horrible propensities of their masters. What then was our critic? What had we done to deserve such a proserip.tion ? Is this African origin, then, to be a cause of eternal oppro brlvin• to us ? • Is ;the colour of our skin to be fur ever the seal of ear reprobati on ? In time space of on e and twenty months, during which the French remained in our island, more than IG,nop of our coun trymen perished by the tortures pst described. , The bat !-ma rities.committed upon the Havtians by, these modern con querors exceeded the mimes of .Pizarro, of Cortez; or Ilmida villa, the first devastators of the new world. After . ali th e i r efforts, we bare effected the “pulsion of these oppressors of our ,territory, T o secure us for ever aga i ns t th e re t urn o f such barbarities and Unheard of crimes; as well as against perfidy and injus tice, we resolved for ever to rid ourselves of every hind of fo reign dominion ; and accordingly on the 4st of Januarv, 1804, in a General Assembly of the Representatives of the Zation, the _independence of ilayti was iolemuly proclaimed ; and we took—an oath to the- free and independent, and never submit . to any, foreign power, - Like other people, our first years w ere c h equere d w i th errors and troubl es; like them we partook of the vicissitudes inseparable from revolutions. On our advancement to the throne, our first care-was, to raise the name and dignity of the flaytion people, convinced thatgood faith, frank„ness, and probity in all transactions, respect for property and the rights of men, could alone effect this - object. Convinced thatsthe, laws- constitute the happiness of men united in society, our first object Was -to form a code of laws conformable to "our nsage s , our climate, and our manners. After a laborious attention,' arid with the assistance of the Almighty, we have been enabled to r,ut the finishing stroke to this basis of our social edifice. have constantly encooraged iq.;Tieniture and commerce, which arc the chann ! :ls of public prosperity. Abundant harvests.have been the result of the taboUr and efforts of our cultivators. C-ireatquantities of - products have been. carried away from our ports since wa pr oc l a i me d our independence ; and p art i en i ar l y during- the years 181-2, 1813, ISI4, by foreign nations, which have carried on a lucrative commerce with us. Solicitations. to adopt 'every means for reviving our internal prosperity, at all times attentively observin the events that passed in Europe during the bloody strtiggle suyperted there, we tlever_for a single instant lust sightof our military system of defence. .• In'tluit attitude ne expected that Buotipparte, the enemy of the world, w ou ld attack us; either 'hy force of a noe or by pertfdv, , his accustomed means. 'We have not forgot that after the Peace of. Amiens, his first object was to enter ou that famous - expediti,in for our extermination. But th.e God . of Armies, who raises and overturns thrones accOrding to his will, did not, io his justice, consent that this oppressor of nations ,hould accomplish his horrible design'.

After twenty-five years of a revolution, which' has enr.anguined Eu rope, and carried. its ravages into the new as well as the Old world; the European Powers have at last concluded a general Peace, Of the coliditions of the treaty signed at l'aris on the 30th of Mav we are still ignorant. All we know is, that a new Constitution, on the . princi ples of Itepresint'a:i've Government, has been adopted ; that the 'ancient. dynasty of the liour 7 lions has been restored, &c.. Whatever entry h e the result of the late occurrences in Europe, they darkly interest those nations which lave asserted their independence in the ?sew World, and parti cularly, Hayti, fro m its political .and commercial situation. Under the,e circumstances, we think it our duty to perform tire. task We hive tinder taken,:by,inft?riniug our;fellow-citizens of all that interests them, and declaring our our fears, and Ott, hopes. A brilliant day of happiaess seems to dawn upon the world ; the glory and renown of a great and magnanimous Sovereign have - resounded from the frozen extremities of the North to Our burning and distant climate. A Nation equally glest and generous, a philan thropic people, whose valour and enlightened state' have more than once fixed the destinies of the world, give their benevolent aid to render Nations free n d h a ppy. Will Monarchs, re-established on their thrones, after being instnicted in the school of adversity, do less than 'Sovereigns crowned with the wreaths of victory ? It is natu ral to think, that, after a long and cruel expe rience of.heavy misfortunes and dreadful vicissi tudes, aftcr the torrents of blood %dile!) have pol luted her soil, France must sigh for the advan tages and repose of peace. It is to be presumed that re-animating principles and liberal ideas nnist have excluded the monstrous and devastat ing system of conquest, which had brotight that country to the brink of destruction. The aimerical and ambitions project of universal empire, which tended to the subjugation of every people, having dis appeared with its abominable anthorf aud the greater part of those m en w h o g n ve rned France being doubtless convinced of the illusory nature of their projeets, , and fatigued by ad-. versity, have, no doubt, adopt e d more just and humane sen timents. The need of repairing their losses, and of restoring the prosperity o f their families, must make them desirous o - f peace, stability and commerce. Our implacable enemy no longer exists. The execrable Buonaparte, w h o in vain endeavoured to exterminate us, has been overcome by the efforts of the Allies. Europe, as for tunate as o urs e lves, has just shaken oft far ever his tyrannical yoke. We are proud of having overcome his • satellites, .and of never having entered into any treaty with him, Mutterer were his proposals; and ice may justly congratulate ourselves in having aided in the liberation of Europe by our pe •e -verance repelling. his perfidious offers, and by th e valour with which we fought and destroyed his armies. We never would enter into any treaty with a monster who wished to exterminate us, or impose on its that yoke which we have for ever cast off. No—never would-we have bowed our heads under that frightful yoke which we, had broken ! never would we have yielded or have acquiesced ill any can (lit ion which would have 'Rimed our political rights; and we s h o ok' h ave preferred extermination to the loss of that liberty and that independence which we have gained fur twenty-five years of combats, of sacrifices, ittul of blood !
