her, conducted on my part with the greatest fratikne,s and sin-
cerity—and I represented to him the teeny reaefsne that were
for desiring the union of all hearts. I preferred ells amicable
plan to that of employieg the troops which I had assembled;
they were imposing enough in point of force, and perfectly the.
posed to make my authority respected.
I was qeleitly called beck to l'ort-au•Prince, by a deputation
from Chrieophe, who, bating informed of the divisions which
prevailed in the R public, wished to profit be them. This event
has only conhrmtd me in my opinion, that the wise and prudeet
course 1 had taken, and which is 6) conformable with my prin-
ciples, has preserved us frer many great evils.
I wrote to General Rigaud on the Itsth December. My let.
ter gives proof of the prey of my intentinns, and of my sincere
desire that all hearts should be united, and that we should n, t
lose the precious moments for our preservath,n, by surfing up
men's passions.
By i second letter of the 4th Jimmy last, I thought it right to
give further explanation, and to propose a meeting of respectable,
well-informed citizens, to be held at Leogane, for the purreie
of re-establishing confidence, and that they might occupy them-
selves in considerations for the general good.
I have to regret that my goad intentions have been opposed
by the inhabitants of Aux Cayes, met together in a provincial
asseeiely.
It has never entered the head of any reasonable being to ap-
prove principles such as they have adopted, so inimical to both
pul)hc and private interest. How much it is to be regretted
that they do not see all the consequences to be dreaded from
such ob lunacy.
I cannot persuade myself that it meets with general approba-
den. Ihe inhabitants of the South have too much reason to
call to their recollection the measures with which they were
harassed during the civil war, and which they appear i.e. sirous
of again experiencing., if we are to judge from the conduct they
pursue, so contrary to their o•.w n interests.
Armed with authority, I shall nut cease to watch over the
safety and good of ray fellow citizens in general ; by prudence
and firmness I shall endeavour to preserve them from danger,
and maintain the precioueadventages of Liberty and Equality,
which forms the immoveable basis of alt: State. SLcced d by
the concurrence of the People and the Army, I shall take the
htest measures to annihilate the projects ut our enemies, and
consult the public opinion on any subject calculated to promote
our happiness.
The (;enera!s and the Army, on a late occasion, have given
proof of their devotion to the service of the comer:, eine f
their attachment to me, which calls for and excites my sincerest
gratitude. The various Commanders, toe Agricultural Inspec-
tors, the Netionel Guards, have vied with each otter in their
zeal for the safety of the Re public, and to maintain internal
tranquillity.; tht-ir conduct merits my warmest eulogiums. The
concurrence of the Citizens in general to second the views of
Government entitles them to its gratitude—with such aids I can
have nothing to fear from the enemy, or any doubt of re-estab-
lishing public opinion.
Thus in recommending that every one should be ready to fly
to the frontiers on the first sound of a arm, is in fact only a sum-
mons to victory.
