REVOLUTION IN ST. D0241114C0.
NARRATIVE. OF T'!E !AYI'INN CAMPAIGN
AG MNST TY.< NNNY, FROM iHE 19TH TU THE
16TH ocr. iti)6.
" A horrible crime was aboet to he committed in
the Department of the South ; iiiiiii,ands of viaims
were on the point of being sacr ti r 1 to the su,picioti,
or rather the feroci• y. of Dess.oines. General Mo-
reau, and vie lospeaor Eartme Mentor, were the
Minister, charged woo die execia: in of these stn.
guinary orders in the rimer Cr. can Des Cayes.
were already employed in tiiking measures for exe
outing them, when, being det•ifted in their abominn.
ble pen jets, they were b aft arres-ei by ord r of the
heave Ouegitac. The inhabitants of the town of
Des Cayes, finding the support of this arni Able'
Chief and his troops, rose cc mane, and swore to
die with arms in then hands.
" Colonel Francis Yeune, informed of the move-
ments which took place-in the town of Des Cay-s.
appeared in the midst of his fellow citizens conk' med
them in these noble resolutions, and departed to pro.
pose in his divi,:on those sublime principles whicti
were to insure the triumph of innocence. To arrive,:
address his companion, in arms, and to dispose them
to adopt his sentiments, were for nim only the work
of a moment.
" The Ministef of War, apprised by the Colonel
of the disposition of the inhabitants and troops,
although ill, quitted his bed to put himself at the
head of this holy iiisureeEtion. His whole suite fol-
lowed him, and his teal was well rewarded by the
gratitude of his fellow citizens. Soon after, facile-
rale Ferou and Veva] followed his gerefrous ex-
ample. Colonel Brune also comitifled himself per-
teftly in this crisis
•• After having formed all his dispositions, the
Minister set out from L'Anse a VCAII, with the I;itli
and 16th denii.bingade, and advanced towards
al iraj iune. On the next day, he had a conversa-
tion with General Gayon, who was encamped at
Little Goave, and fin hog' hum favourahle to his
designs, every thing wa, agreed upon ; but still this
Genteel would not conchs le any thing until the
ar-
ri►al of General Fe•ion, with wh ise sentiments be
was previously acquainted. Colonel famine, and
all the troops of this division, were also of the same
inclination. General Ambroise, though much in-
: disposed, and scarcely aisle to stand, repaired, not-
withstanding, to Lengane, on the first intelligence
of these movements, in order to be able to cooler
with General l'etion on the part that he was to take.
They scarcely met, when they fully agreed
" On the 15th, at noon, General Peti in arrived at
Little Goave, where he. WAS received by the army
with the enthusiasm he merited. The two divisions
having . joined, marched direa for Great Coave,
where General Germain waited for his brigade.
Having bee:t surrounded, he affe!ted to decide in
our favour ; but it was soon perceived that he only
wished to gain time.
" The same day we proceeded to Leogarie ; and
the next morning, with the 11th, 12th, L'atli, 16th,
21st, and 24th densi-hripJes, and three squadrons
f dregooos, vie were so possession, at tosr o'clock,
of Port-au-Prince.
" The croidua of General Germain becoming
more suspicious, and fears being entertained that he
would escape by night. he was arrested.
" At ten at night, we were apptized by a travel-
ler of the approach of a battaii.a of the 9 1, from
Ai chhaye, and forming tigr a:wanted guard of Des-
salines. Elr"-ery—tli7n 0-4410 fear their recep-
tion. They arrived, and surrendered without the
AA resistance, in consequence of the vigorous mea-
sures adopted by General Gayon.
" A deputation from the soldiers and planters of
the plain of the Ca tie See came at midnight to de
dare to General Peiain, in the name of their (•on-
tituents, that 0 e deaths of Dessalin-s and Germain
were ne,eesisi y for the preservation of 10;crty ; that
the soldiers were resolved to Jo their duty ; that the
planters would take case of the plain, and that they
would besides, engage to keep the tyrant ignorant of
the measures which it was necessary to adopt against
him. They kept their words ; Dessalines cros.ed
use plain without receiving information from any
one of the disposition of the army. This event t -to
firms the observation, that tyrants have numbers of
flatterers, but no friends.
" Dessalines, who was ignorant of this, and who
had not the least au.picion of our arrival at Fort-au
Prince, pursued his jr.urney with the most perfe&
security. At eight in thee morning he had reached
our advanced posts without perceiving it, and it was
only when they proceeded to arrest him, that he per-
ceived he was not in the midst of his friends. He
then endeavoured to escape, and in the attempt re-
ceived the b'ow which put an end to his life and his
crimes. Caine' Wardle, who wished to defend
him, al,o fell on this occasion, but w-th. general re-
gret. On the part of the enemy the:, were also a
few persons wounded; our loss was one man killed.
" Such were the oper•tiens of the army. Four
days were sufficient to crown it with peeled somas.
" This great event. which will coma we an sin
in human revolutio s. Will pftlesAnll to the astonish-
ed world the energy of an oppressed people, and at-
Vraft to us the admiration and esteem of all nations.
" On the 18th, la nine in she mooning, Te Deem
will he sung in eekbration of this memorable Jay,
which has been the tall of tyranny and the ranesci-
tation of 'Amity.
