"ABLATIVE TILE ITAYTIAN CAI'APAIGN

TYRANNY,
From the 13th to the 16th Oaoher,

A horrible critne was about to be Conirnitted-H
in the Department of the South—thousands of vic-
tims were on the point of being sacrificed to the
suspicion, or the ferocity rather, of Dessatines.
Ge-
neral Moreau, and the Inspedor Etienne Mentor,
Nuere the Miuisters charged. with the execution of
these sanguinary orders in the quarters, of Des
Cayes. They were already employed in taking
measures for executing' t hem, when, being -deteded
in their abominable projeds, they ;were both arrest-
ed by order of the brave Ouagnac... The inhabi-
tants
of the town of Dec Cayes, finding support in'
this amiable Chief and his troops, rose 'en' masse,
and swore to die with arms-in their bands.
Colonel Francis Yeune, informed of the mov;e--
infnitS which took place in the town of Des Cayes,
appeared in . the midst of his felloW-citizens, cow •
fiime&thern in these noble resolutions, and depart- :
ed to propose in his division those sublime principles
wl.ich Were to ensure the triumph of innocence.—'
To arrive, address his. companions in arms, and to
disnase them to. adOpt his sentiments, were for him,
only the work of a mornent.
The Minister, of- War, apprized by the Colo-
nel of the. disposition of the inhabitants and troops,
although ill, (paled his.bed to put himself- at the
bead of this holy insurre6lion. " His- whole suite
followed him', -and his zeal was well rewarded by
the gratitude of his fellow-citizens. Soon after,.
Generals Peron and Vaval. followed hiszenerous ex-
ample. ColOuel,Brune also conducted binaselt per-
rthly in this
" After baying formed :all his
.dispositions, the:
Minister set out tow L'Anse:a-VFau, ith the 13th
and 1 tith demi-brigades,and advanced towards Mira-.
kune. On the next day he had a conversation
with with G(neral Gayon, who was encamped 'atil.ittle
Goave, and,finding him favourable, to his designS,
every thing was agreed upon-; General
would not- Conchide, any., thing u. ,the arrival of
General Mon; With whose sewn-news lie'x'as Pre.:
vionsly acquainted. Colonel Lamane, and'all the
troop ofthis clivision,', were al So of the-same inch-
'nation, General Ambroise, though much
indispos
ed, and scarcely able to stand, repaired; notwith-
standing, to Leogane, on the first intelligence of
these nititt.ments; in order Cabe able to confer with
General Petian on the part he was to take. They
scarcely met; when• they fully agreed.
"-On the 150,'at noon,-General Petion arrived at
Little Goave, where "he was received- by the army
With•tbe etalnisiasm he merited. The two diVi-
sions haVing joined, marched dired for Great Goave,
where General Germain waited for his brigade.. L.--
Having been surrounded, he affeded_tO decide in our
favour ; but it was soon perceived that he only wish-
ed to gain time.
" The same day we proceeded to Leogarie and,
the next morning, with the nth, 12th, 15th, 15th,
21st, and 24th demi-brigades, and three squadtons
of dragOons, we were in possession, at four o'clock,
of Port-an- Prince

" The conduit of, Gen. Germain becoming more
suspicious; and fears being entertained that die would
escape by night,- he was arrested., '
" At ten at night we were apprised by a traveller
of the approach of a battalion of the 3d, from Arch-
baye, and forming the advanced guard of Dessalines:
Every thing Was prepared for their reception. They
'arrived, and surrendered without the,leasc resist-
ance, -in, consequence of the vigorous-- measures
arlopred by General Gayon.
" A.deputation from the soldierg and:Plantirs of
the plain of the Cul de Sac came at Midnight, to de-
dare to General Petion, in the name of their consti-
tuents, thatthe deaths of Dessalines and Gerniain
were necessary fonthe preservation olliberty ; that
the soldiers were resolved to do their duty ; that the
planters would take:caie 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 crossed
the plain. without receiving information from any one
of the disposition of the army... This event confirms
the observation, that tyrants have nuMberS of flat-
terers., but j-10 friends.
Des San. -s, who was ignorant of this, and *ho •
had not. rhe least suSpicion of our arrival at. Port-an-
Prince, pursued his journey with the most perfedt
-security. At eight in the 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 blow which put an end: to his life'and his
crirbes. Maardie, who wished to defend him.
ftlFo MI .Ipon Ibis occasion, but with general regret.
On the part of the Enemy there were also a few
wont-1(10'4 our loss was one man killed.
Snell were the operations of the army. Four days
were sufficient to crown it with sucCesS.
4! ;this great event, which will contribute an tera
iu human revolutions, will proclaim to the astonish-
ed world the energy of an oppressed people, and at-
Arad to us the admiration and esteem of all naiions.

Their whole attention is now
of
.that valuable produce

,vl.O-•onses, filled with all the pro-

'

duaions, otitc Antilles, onlywait the arrival of y our
mereantiltAleets, -to make an exchange of the mania-
faCtures of whiCh we stand in need; 'for those which
you require. If a "system unfavourable to the pro-
giess of commerce has hitherto interposed to prevent
its success among us, that disastrous influence will
sLortly cease. The imposture is dissipated, the phan-
tom has disappeared, and all the illusions that hovered
round it are dispersed. So far is our Govrnment, in its
pregent regenerated state, from opposiNt he freedom
of commerce in our ports;that it offers facilities to you.
which cannot be granted by any.bther -Government.
It is of no consequence under what colourS you may
appear : the proteaion.of your property, the security
of your persons, and a rigidmaintenance of the laws
in every thing, that relates to yqu, are guaranieecti to
you on the faith of. Goverment. Solid regulations,
and diCtated by wisdom—duties arranged in propor-
tion to the difficulties that yeti Inalexperience in
gaining our ports, 'are equitably colleCted ;, great
patch,in expediting your vessels,; with men, of inte-
grity in the direction of the publicoffices.—Sueh are
• the changes on which you may have a perfect reliance.
The Government is firmly persuaded, that,where a re-
. ciprocal, advantage does not prevail, there can be no
commerce. It has already direeled the suppression
of exclusive consignments ; of the tax on the price of
articles ; of theTrivileges granted foi- the sale of coffee,
as well as the obligation to take'cargoes of sugar, &c.
Every one will be at liberty to sell'and to 'buy on the
conditions that lie shall judge Most for his advantage.
Those regulations produced 'by:ignorance, will no
longer offer impedithents to your speculations : your
confidence will be no longer forced in favour of
individuals who were eqUally strangers to you and
to the welfare of their country. Your friends; your
own particular faCtors, shall- have the possession of
your property-: • and the Government engages to.
grant them all the proteaion they can desire. ' The
sanguinary horrors which have too notoriously mark-
ed the commencement of a cruel reign, will no-rnore
renew the sad spectacle off-scenes that are past.—..
Come with ;perfee-t:confidence to traffic in our ports ;
come and exchange the fruits of your industry for
our richeN and be persuaded, that you will 'never
"have
cause to repent of a reliance'on our premising.
At the same time, while •he Government is ex-
erting all its efforts to procure you the advantages of
a brilliant commerce, it requires of your agents the
same loyalty and" good faith which it will erercise
towards you. It also expresses its hope that the
base condu& of the Privateers 'of Louisiana will net
.be imitated, and that it will have no cause to regret
that its too great confidence has, been abused.
- " The Ports are the Cape, Fot't Dauphin, Port-de-
Paix, the Gonaives, St. Mark, .Port-au-Prince, the
Cayes, Jeremie, and Jacmel, where you may send
your cargoes with • the certainty of an advantageous
return. -

" The weih-known exaCtness with which_the.Go-'
yernment of Hayti acquits its engagementS; a .so-
lemn pledge for tte execution of the Treaties:it may
• enter into with yen. Notwithstanding the misfor;
tunes which preceded our IndtThendence, and the dis,
astrous wars which it necessarily produced; the means
of Government have never falled.of keeping' pace with
its wants. Such is the astonishing eR tent of our re-
sources, that even the'N ices Of the preceding Mini-
niScration did not prevent the liquidation of all its

as well as pines, when a wise economy shall_ take the
place of prodigality, and that an equitable colleOion of
the revenues will determine the rights of Governmer
as well as those of individuals. . Haste then to conic
and avail yourselves of these favourable dispositionS,
which your connexions with- us will confirm mtg.&

vessels, whatever may be the exteneof your specn-
lationi for our Ports, entertain not the least appre-
