to return. The chiefs and mirchimus brigands
'were to be tranfported : this meafure made.,6oo
blacks return to the plantations, with five of the
'port formidable chiefs.
14 As tome of them did not return, I caufid the
•
brigands to be attacked on the Lath (sift JOT),
;he woods of Capefterre. The delay granted
to, thew allowed them to ffemble a kali body,
_which I prefume to have been about zoo men._
'They were furprifed in their camp eftabliihed on
the fummit of the molt remote Mornes, in ;fie
woods. They were beat and entirely difperfed ;
fueh of them as efcaped retired to an old camp,
wilting more than ten' years, of the Mandingnes,
whofe retreat could 'never be difcovered.
camp was attacked on the isth (August 3), and
had the fame fate as the ref, the laft refuge of die
brigands being deßroyed.

" At prefent almon all the blacks belonging to
the plantations have returned. They labour as
during the molt peaceable times. The inhabitant
who wishes to remain on his plantation, and does
not believe himfelf expofed, is Sheltered from all
uneaficefs.. The maroons are never more than
three or four together, and are much lefs numer.
ous than they were at the moll florithing periods.
Abnott all the Chiefs, and particnlarly thofe who
were mutt dreaded, are in our hart/ ; and I anr
fully convinced, that neither this nor any other
'colony was ever in a fafer gate. The fear aim;
and uneafinefs of fome inhabitants may leave
doubts, as to the condition of affairs. The de-
partrue of one black from his plantation, the fight
of an Ajoupa, are things more important than
formerly, and give more uneafinefs, but the pro.
prietors who have returned, mutt loon put an end
to this uneafinefs. Vigilance, uo doubt, will be
ftill required. People never emerge from a (late
of violent crifis without Come leaven remaining,
and neglea may produce new misfortunes, but
the highways of France even would not be fecure
if an :relive gendamrerie did not watch over their
fafety.

" The greateft enemy we have in this country
is the malady, but it feems to have abated fence it
deprived us of our Chief. The troops, during
thiee months and a half, havenottloft more than
fix men by the hands of the brigands, and theft
perithed only by their imprudence."
