Translation of the Proclamation of Christophe, ad
dressed to the army and people of Hayti.
I have informed you of the perfidious plots,
which a few desparate men have dared to form a
gainst your liberty. These men, strangers to eve
ry feeling of humanity have compelled me, contra
ry to my inclination, to make war against them.
Upon what do they found their pretensions to domi
neer over the people ? By what sacrifices have they
proved their devotion to our country ? Is it such
men as Petion, who betrayed General Touissant,
that had entrusted him with a high office, and join
ed the Brigands, who came afterwards with, the
French to tight against us, until being in danger'
he was obliged to provide for his own safety ? Is it
Suchmen a& -these that have acquired a right.to
gMdMBj^ratitude? Petion, that artfui#r.ati, whose
■■hior,a considerable time, conmled the un
^uedairdiftion which governed hint, who under the
Ju| bey prewfiwio impute to the late Em per our,
■■I to^the Blacks, the massacres of the whites, but
pBwbom is due the infamy of that atrocious cruel
%?• Those savage wretches sai3, “let women and
even children be cut off," they said to themselves,
“it is titfie that ws should reap the fruits of the la
bours of the hJacl?B.” Has not my life, and-thatof
my wife, been exposed for-affording an asylum in my
house to those unfortunate people, whom the fear of
death' brought thither by reason of the most iniqui
tous proscriptions! Have they not been barbarous
ly omssncrqd under my very windows ? And those
tcjp, meii that were known for their usefulness in the
citaftry, and distinguished by the repeated services
which they bad rendered the Haytians in the hour
of their distress.
It is well known that in the two divisions of the
South, and in the second division of the West,
the people of colour have threatened to withdraw
themselves from the authority of the Emperour, if
they were not permitted to massacre the whites, and
; even to exterminate thelft, men, women, and cbil- i
dren ! Have we not heard the south* invcighinga
gainst the Emperour and the ministers of Finance,
tor having examined into the titles of property,
! which they unjustly held, while they alledged that
I having cut off the former owners, they were entit
led to hold their estates ? The whole world is ar?
quainted with the sanguinary proceedings and cruel
ty of those men who have indifferently and in turd
exercised on the blacks and whiles, their barbarons
fury, according as their revolutionary politicks dic
tated, and their interest suggested. Did they not
for a considerable time urge the destruction of all
! the foreign merchants in the country f Certainly no
one can be ignorant of the memoir published by
; Domaicq at St. Marc, to that effect-Is
i not this the same Domaicq, (assisted by
Langlade) who whilst the Emperour was on
a journey to the south, persuaded Beverard,
a merchant, and Duranson, a physician, estab
lished at St. Marc, that DemaUnes intended to
j cause them to lie executed, and that the only means
I of avoiding their fate, was toffy i And that being
:%
made confident of their intended flight, he erased
them to be arrested,at the moment the) were about *
to escape, assassinated them, and plundered th»ir
effects? Were not Francesco Stella and Joanis Jer
dians, Italians, established at Cayes, opon the de
nunciation of Charles Vire, the father, as agents
of the French and English, protected by gen. G«f
frard, when pursued, while these men exclaimed,
there shall be no white merchants among ns? Waa
not the civil war, produced by gen. Toussainl’s be
ing opposed to the massacre of the whites at Jere
mie, when Rigaud wished to massacre them, at the
time of the. evacuation of that quarter by the Eng
lish ? And have they not always in the South, re- %
preached gen. Toussaint, on account of the protec- jgj
tion which he afforded to the whites, and even ac
cused him of favouring the emigrants ? Trusting to
men, who I believe are not susceptible of remorse,
I had convoked the assembly of llayti at Port-au
Prince, I wished to afford to my fellow citizens a f i
proof of rny reluctance to influence their determi
nations, but these rebels, in this instance of my
loyalty, found the means of attaining their *
ends; in collecting together, by force and fraud,
they have prevented that assembly from exercising
its will, they have surrounded it with bayonets, and
those deputies, which they could not gain by intri
gue, they silenced by fear. By artifices also, if;
which such men alone are capable of, they contriv
ed to treble the number of the deputies from the ■
two divisions of the south, and the second in the
west, by which means they acquired a majority in
number, independent of the terror which the arm
ed force within, the town had inspired. The first
division of the south contains the parishes of Acquin, r ■ ■ ,
St. Lewis, Cavaillon, Cayes, Torbec, Port-Salut, Co
teaux and 1 ibnron ; the second division consists of
the parishes dMnceveau, Petit de Troo des Bara
feiires,Corail, Jeremie, Abricots, Dame Marie, Anse
g&jnqult, and St. Micbal de Miragoane; the 2d divi
sfaij^lhe west consists of the parishes of Croix des
^hj'efcv jI’ort-au-Prince, Leogane, Grand-Goave,
jpjm-Goave, Jacmel, Baynot, and Marigoane, mak
ing in all twentyfour parishes for these three divisions, t
Which shouldbe the whole number of the deputies,
Unconformity to ratio, prescribed in the two divisi*
ons*o# tlie north, and the first division of the west*
bpt instead of following the equitable mode pursued
in the three last divisions, they trebled the number
of deputies in the three'first named divisions, be
sides employing the basest intrigues to surprise '*
the'Injuries of tlie north and to obtain their suffrages.
—Thus,it is evidently demonstrated that besides l«
ir^5> intimidated by the armed force, the deputies •
frortvthe'North and from the first division of tbs
West, were by the most illegal means overpowered
by numbers. Will it be credited that these depu
ties acted repugnant to their own judgments, and
against the will and interests of their constituents ?
or if they have, will their constituents submit to
such imposition ? Never! For sixteen yelrs, they
have contended for the liberty and independence
Which they nowpossess; they will not relinquish their
precious rights, to become the slaves of Petion, and
his insolent associates. These wretches have obliged
me to unsheatb the swoid, in order to bring them to
reason. I marched against him and cat bis army in
pieces. A sentiment of compassion arrested me at the
gates of Port-au-Prince, at the moment I was about
to enter it, with my army; at that moment I thought
of the misery to which that rebellious city would
“be devoted, if 1 entered it. This city has wit
nessed the loss' of so much patriotick blood.-— '
l.paused, and thought with horrour on the Hay
tian blood which would be shed. Notwithstanding 1
the innumerable crimes with which these rebels
had covered every part of the country, I wished
to afford them a moment for reflection, in the hope
that they would profit by it. All their efforts will
not be able to screen them from the merited pu
nishment which awaits them. I hold the sword in -
my band, and I will preserve the independence of
our countiy, in despite of Petion and his adherents—I
will establish tranquility and the empire of the laws,
nor will I repose until the happiness of my fellow
citizens is permanently established.
Given at Head-Quarters, the 14th of January, v.
1807. and the fourth year of the inde
pendence of Ilayti. * *
