PROCLAMATION.

Mad-Quarters, Cape, 6th Oct.

An insnrrettlion has burst forth in the North of
St. Domingo. The Commandants of that quarter,
regretting the authority and the power which they
have only employed to commit injustice, have excit-
ed inquietude among the cultivators, as tu their fu-

They have profited by the period in which a cruel
malady made ravages among the French arinies,
and they have rencwed the conflagrations and assas-
sinati,:ns which signalized our entrances into St.

They have, doubtless, forgot in what manner the
French torrent overwhelmed St. Domingo within

have so often tied; will soon be in a condition to
seek new laurels ! f hey do not know that a fresh
army, eral to that which has already arrived at St.

rebellious, or prom& them if tilt), are submissive.
What do they expert from their audacity ? Do
they sappose, that fir a few habitations burnt in tilt?
Pla;i: of the North, we will abandon the whole coun-
try to their fury ?
Do they suppose we will suffer them to burn the
Cape, which has 014 been re-bui!t by the confidence
the inhabitants have Ltd in the French Govern-
