distracted all the Antilles, at the same epoch, in.
spired is with a just doubt of the reception which
we were about to experience; we concluded we had
not a moment to lose, to' stifle or prevent a general
conspiracy. Hence, General LECLERC requested
me, on _the same day, to dispatch for St. Domingo,
General KERVERSEAU, with his Division; and the
rest of the Army, continued its route.
" It Was nevertheless still doubtful to the Agents
of Government, whether they should discover at

~ .
our ships after, the debarkation, by taking aclvan.
tage of the first favourable breeze, might force the
entrance in time to save some part of the Town. I
agreed to this idea, and ordered the Troops to be
immediately put on board the Frigates, Sloops, and
boats. Captain TOPSENT, Commander of the Fg-
rime, took them under his convoy, and steered by
night towards Limbe. Unfortunately he was pre-
PCnted by the calm from arriving there during the
night. On the morning of the sth, the Division
of Frigates had nor yet reached their destination,
when an Aid-de-Camp of General ROCHAMB EAU
brought me Dispatches from the General in Chief;
and details from Captain MAGEN, of the Expedi-
tion to Fort Dauphin. The Blacks had opposed
the disembarkation in the Bay of Mancenille, ex-
claiming " No Whites ! No French !" at the same
time firing on our canoes. Captain MACEN, how_
ever, effeded his landing with equal adivity and
address.; and while the Troops were on their march
to Fort Dauphin, he made his Division prepare,
with the same rapidity, to force the narrow and
difficult passage leading to the Harbour. The calm
frustrated his zeal for some hours. General Ro.
C H ANII3 EAU'S Troops had time to turn the Forts of
Labouque and Ance, where the Blacks obstinately
' defended themselves. 'At last Captain MACEN was
enabled to present himself before the Fort, which
received him with a discharge of artillery. Two
rounds made him master of that Post,' where he
found'a considerable quantity of cannon and ammu-
nition. Here all veils were removed from the de_
_signs of the Rebels, by finding orders written by
General CH R ISTOPHE to the Commander of the
place, ordering him to sink all the French vessels,
to defend himself to the last extremity, and if forced
to retreat, to burn every thing behind him.
" The gallant condud of Captain MAGEN, and
the express request of the General in Chief, calls
upon you, for the encouragement of the service, to
raise him immediately to the rank of Rear-Admiral.
His talents and services demand this distindion. -I
waited with extreme impatience till this disembark-
ation was effected on the sth. I did not lose sight
of the Frigates under sail, and the alarm-guns which
were fired along all the coast, and the flames of
some of the Settlements, plainly discovered the de-
signs of the Rebels.
" As soon as I thought the debarkation was ef-
feded, I ordered the Ships Le Scilion and Le Pa-
triote to present themselves before the entrance, in
order to draw the attention of the Enemy. As
soon as the Scipio came off Piccolet, the cannon be-
gan to play upon her and Le Patr;ote with ball and
bombs. I had ordered LANCES, Captain of the
Port, to moor the Scipio close by Piccolet, so as to
demolish it ; but night prevented General DEL.-
moTTE, from executing this order.
" The land wind began to blow at the approach
of night, when the height of the Cape, and the re.
flexion of the sky, announced the burning of the
Town, and we were obliged all night to behold the
flames without having it in our power to render the
wretched Inhabitants any assistance. On break of
day, the flames had not reached the plain.
" I called the Captain of the Port again on board
the Ocean, and taking advantage of the first breeze,
made for the Harbour, ordering all the Squadron to
follow me. Forts Piccolet and St. Joseph had been
abandoned ; Forts &lair and St. Michel continued
to fire on us ; but the Squadron gained the ane
bpor-
ao- firinge without a shot. I commanded Le Pa-
triote to - fire on the Rebels, while all the Ship's
companies disembarked; and .General HUMBERT,
with a body of zoo men, marched to take posses-
sion of Fort Belair. By our united efforts, and
the dextrous manoeuvres of the General in Chief,

St. Domingo, in the character who for several years
hack possessed himself of the whole authority, a
fitithful Frenchman or a rebel African ? Whether
To ussist NT LOUVERTURE had retained the Colony
for the Mother Country, or for its enemies ? Whe-
ther he would second the generotis designs of die
First Consul, and deserve a grand national recom-
pence, or enkindle the flames of civil war, to glut
an ambition as cruel as unbounded ? You know
better than any one, that Government partook of
our doubts; since we had orders to be equally pre-
pared for war or peace.
6' Our measures were concerted in conformity to
these two suppositions; equally possible. When I
bad reached the heights of La Grange, and had
provided myself with some skilful. Pilots, whom' I
sent for from Monte Christi, the Fleet and Troops
were divided into three divisions., The first under
the orders of Rear-Admiral LATOUCHE, was in-
tended to disembark, at Port-au-Prince, a body of
Troops, the command of which the General in Chief
gave to General BOUDET. The second, was de-
stined, under the orders ofCaptain MAGEN, to dis-
embark at the Bay of Mancenille the division of
General ROCHAMBEAU, and to second Lis attack
on Fort Dauphin. I concluded the rest of the Fleet
and the Forces which General LECLERC had re-
served to take possession of the Cape-Town and the
neighbouring quarters, the most important points
in the Colony.
66 On the evening-of the zd of February, having
finished all • our dispositions, I made a signal for
Rear-Admiral LATOUCHE and Captain MAGEN.IO
execute their orders ; and on the morning of the
3d, I presented myself, with the rest of the arma-
ment, before the Cape.
" You are aware, Citizen Minister; that the
entrance of the Road, so difficult for vessels of every
description, is not without danger to ships of the
line of the same rate as the Ocean ; that it is prac-
ticable only with the -high wind which rises re-
gularly about eleven in the morning, and blows
during a great part of the night.
"On the same day, I ordered the Clarinda and
Urania frigates and the iliguilie cutter to sail at the
entrance of the Road, to discover if there were
any buoys out, and to reconnoitre the state of the
fartificationg. The frigates made fruitless private
signals to the land, and the cutter haVing grounded
in the passage, the Fort Piccolet fired en her with
red hot balls. ,Lieutenant WET, the Commander
of this small vessel, did not desist from his object,
and anchored in the Road of the Cape, although the
buoys were removed.
" On these circumstances, a mulatto named
LANCES, who exercised -the functions of Port
Captain at the Cape, came on board my vessel.
So far from consenting to pilot the Ocean, he
declared that the Black General, CHRISTOPHE;
had. ordered him to acquaint us, that the Whites
would be massacred, and the Town set on fire, the
very instant the squadron should enter the Pass, if
we refused to await the return of a Courier whom
he had dispatched to Governor ToussAINT Lou-
VERTURE. •
66 We unanimously thought that so ferocious a
determination could only be suggested by unjust
fears of the French Government. The Commander
in Chief wrote to CHRISTOPHE, to make him ac-
quainted with the benevolent purposes of the FIRST
CONSUL, and to endeavour, by dissipating his ap-
prehensions, to bring him. to a sense of his duties
as a. Soldier and a Frenchman. LEBRUN, Signal
Officer, Adjutant to my Etat-Major, was entrusted
with this delicate mission, as well as to carry to the
Cape a great many copies of the FIRST CONSUL'S
Proclamation. I detained the Port Captain,, and
night compelled the squadron to sail largely.
" On the 4.th, Citizen LEBRUN brought back
the answer of General CHRISTOPHE ; an absolute
refusal to receive the army, an inflexible determina-
tion to born the Town and Fields. Particular care
was taken to prevent Le Blum from distributing
the. Consular Proclamation, and CHRISTOPHE had
formally declared, that he should receive and recog-
nize no other orders than those of TOUSSAINT.
" The cutter, Aiguille, having got out again
without obstacles, brought at the same time, a De-
potation of the Inhabitants of the Cape, composed of
the Mayor, the Commandant of, the National
Guard, the Rector and three Notables. They came
to implore the Commander in Chief not to avenge
the affront offered to the Government and the
French flag ; they assured us, that on the first sig_
nal of a disembarkation, the Town and Country of
the Cape would be burnt, and all the Whites mas-
sacred ; they confirmed the information we had re..
ceived of the measures taken by the Rebels, and
their invariable resolution. The tWenty-four hours
required for To ussAIN-e's answer had elapsed, and
we had good reason for believing that he was in the
T own, or at least, in the neighbourhood, the invi-
sible soul and mover of all that had passed.
"' The General in Chief sent hack the Deputa-
.

the plains are completely saved.
" General RocHAmBEAU, on his side, advances
as far as Limonade, of which he took possession, as
well as of Carnal, and of all the Country. situated
between the Cape and Fort Dauphin.
" Thus, we have only to regret the destruCtion,
of a great number of houses at the Cape ; there have
been but few massacres. The preservation of the
Country affords certain means of rebuilding them,
and promises to Commerce a sufficient guarantee for
the advances .which it may make to the Inhabitants.
" On. the 7th of February, all the Frigates em.
ployed in she disembarkation of Litnbe rejoined.*
Fleet in the Road, except the Furieuse, which I
keep cruizing before the Harbour.
" Yesterday morning the Wattigny, the Furieure
and the Clarinda, set sail for Port-de-Paix. The
plan of the General is to get possession of the Fort
of-that- Town, and of the Mole. Private intelli-
gence lead us to hope that the latter will be sur-
rendered to us. If this Expedition be,successful,
as we have every reason to hope, the Army will
obtain many advantages and resources of what it
stands in the greatest need.
" My total want of light vessels has prevented
me from giving sooner any news of the Army, and
it was not before this day, I could dispatch the
S.yrene Frigate, the Captain of which I greatly re-
gret, as he exeuted. all the missions I have en-
trusted to him, with a zeal, affivity and skill, be-
yond all praise. May I entreat you to send him
back ko me with another Frigate, and the reward
due to his talents.
"I cannot conclude without expressing,a testimony
of the exalted praise of our Allies, the Spaniards,
to which they are in honour and truth entitled.
Above all, Admiral GRAv4INA, in all 114 inter-
course with us, has shewn a frankness, loyalty,
and firmness, which charaaerize the Fried sailor.
The astonishing 'celerity with which he repaired
his Ship ; ,that singular activity in a moment so de-
cisive, and his arrival at the rendezvous off Cape
Samana the same day with the rest of the Fleet,
have excited universally a surprise, which is the
finest eulogy of M. de GRAViNA. General Vi t-
LAVICENCIo, who, during his absence, command-
ed the Spanish Di vision, displayed, during the pas-
sage, to the Captains of the two Squadrons, an ex-
cellent model of precision and vigilance in every,
branch of navigation.
" In the midst of the things which press upon
me, 1 cannot send you an account of the state of
the ammunition found at Fort Dauphin, the Official
Papers, Private Correspondence, Orders, &c. &c.
