canted the charges of their voyage
to be paid. There arrived Bllochei, Dartigemtare,
FatArrt, and Darid TrGit, all partisans of the French
and of Petion, and cruel enemies of their country.
The Emperor treated these ungrpteful men with kind-
ness ; he heaped favours on them ; but they had scarcely
set foot on their native soil than they joined Petion,
and laboured with sll their address to overturn the
empire and kindle the Ilatne of civil war.
*1 he object of this faction was to place Petion at the
head of the (lovernment ; hut to effect this it was ne-
cessary to destroy the two Chiefs, Dessalines and
Christophe, who had a right to govern, as well by
' sir long service, as by the ioice of the people.—
rthese factious men left no stone unturned that their
tlit

projects might succeed. Their agents were posted in
,every• place wherein they could forward the work of
"'hellion. Those of them who surrounded the Em-
peror's person, spurred him on to persecute men who
•ere attached to him, and who would take no part in
the conspiracy that had been formed. By this means
the conspirators had the double advantage of removing
&um the counsels of the Emperor his real friends, and
of preventing the truth from reaching him. Their ac-
complices, scattered over the provinces, laboured se-
cretly to poison the public mind.
Petion was the soul of this plot ; it was he who ac-
tuated all ; and he pretended to have the greatest re-
spect for the Emperor DessAlines, who, on his part,
treated him with blind confidence! Potion possessed

the tactics of a great conspirator ; he strove from day
to day to render himself popular; he flattered the
arlog:; he caressed the troops ; he authorised licen-
.sl and demoralization ; he affected the mask
'of Ihikoophy ; he abandoned all titles; he had the
.4 of nothing ambitious 1 honours, rank, riches, he
p tended to despise. Under the dress of a Diogenes,
he concealed the most immoderate desires; in a word,
this hypocrite went on securely with the execution of
the plot he had sketched out for his own exaltation.
A general confusion had taken place in the empire ;
the finances were disorganized, the troops without pay
and without clothes, the verification of the titles of
property pushed to an extremity, without a just exa-
nsinatios; the corruption of those who filled the most
eminent situations ; a general discontent which showed I
itself silently among the people and the troops, threa.-
'nest the State with a speedy downfal. All these ca-
lamities were yet more augmented by the accomplices
of Petion, those partisans of the French who had ar- I
rived from all parts, and had spread themselves in the
east end the south, as a prelude to the grand drama
which was about to take place.
It is worthy of remark, that whenever the French
have wished to undertake any enterprise against this
island, they have invariably preceded their grand pro-
ject by spies and secret agents; the priests have in
particular been employed to favour these projeets, as
also the natives who derived the origin from the ex-
colonists, and these last by their principle* and cha-
reeMr worked all the mischief which St. Domingo has
suffered these thirty years back. In this deluge of
coreupted manners, the tirueral-in-Chief, Henry Chri•-
tuphr, songht in vain to oppose his dower; as winch
