A horrible crime was about to be committed in the
Department of the south; thonfands of victims were
on the point of being facrificed to the lufiicion, or
the ferocity rather, of Deffallnes. General Moreau,
and the Infpettor Etienne Mentor, were the Milliners
charged with the execution of there fanguioary orders
in the quarters of Des Cayes. They were already
employed in taking meafures for executing them,when
being detetted in their abominable puled., they ware
both artelted by order of the brave °wagon. The
inhabitants of the town of Des Cayes, finding fupport
in this amiable Chief and his troops. role en staji, and
fwore to die with arms in their hands.
Colonel Francis Ycune, informed of the movements
which took place in the tows of Des Cayes, appeared
in the midft of his fellow citizens, confirmed them in
thefe noble refolutions, and departed to propofe in
his divifon thofe fublime principles which were to
taut' the tt inmph of innocence. To arrive, addrefs
his companions in arms, and to difpofe them to adopt
his fentimenu, were for him only the work of amoment.
The Miniger of War, apprized by the Colonel of
the difpofition of the inhabitants and troops, although
ill, quitted his bed to put himfelf at the head of this
holy infurrettion. His whole fake followed him, and
..bis zeal was well rewarded by the gratitude of his
. felloweitizens. Soon after, Generals Peron and Va.
val followed his generous example. Col. Bra alto
concluded himfelf with great propriety:in diis erifis.
After haviog formed all his difpofitions, the Mini-
her fit out from PAnfew.Veau, with the tsth and
t 6th denxi•brigad2, and advanced towards Mirejoune.
On the next day, he had a converfation with General
Gayon, who was encamped at Little Goave, and
finding him favourable to his defigns, every•tbing
was agreed upon ; but Rill this General would not
conclude any thing until the arrival of General Potion,
with whole fentiments he was previoully acquainted
Colonel Lamane, and all the troops of this divifion,
were alto of the fame inclination. General Ambroifc,
though much indifpoled, and feareely able to Rand,
repaired; notwithftanding, to Leogane, on the fir ft
intelligence of thefe movements, in order to be able
to confer with General Petion on the part that he was
to take. They fcarcely met, when they fully agreed.
- On the tsth, at noon, General Petion arrived at
,LlttleGoave,where he was received by the army with
the enthufiafm he merited. The two divifions having
. . joined, marched dire& for Grcat Goave, where Ge•
neral Germain waited for his brigs*. Having been
furrounded, he affeded to decide in our favour; but it
was foon perceived that he only waked to gain time.
' The.fame day we proceeded to Leogane ; and, the
next morning, with the I ill, 12th. 'ph, toil), a til,
and a4th demi-brigades, and thews fquaclrons of dra•
goons, we were in poffelfion; it font o'clock. of

At ten at night, we were apprized by a traveller of
the approach of a battalion of the 3d, from Archhaye,
and forming the advanced guard of Deffalines.
Every thing was prepared for their reception. They
arrived, and furrendered without the lean refinance,
in coofevence of the vigorous meafurcs adopted by
General GAyon.

A deputation from the foldiers and planters of the
plain of the al d, so. came at midnight to declare to
General Peticn, in the name of their donilituentr,

Deffalines, who was ignorant of this, and who
had oot the !mil forpicion of our arrival at Pnr.-au•
Prince, !twitted hiajourney with the mcli perfe9 fe-

then endeavnoved to elope, and in the attempt re-
ceived the blow which put amend to his life and his
crimes. Colonel Maardie, who withed to defend

Such were the operatinns of the army. Four
