Proclamation 10 the people and the army.
joHN PgRE BcyER, President of Hight.
Citizens-When in January OF last year
announced to you that the hour had arrived
which would terminate the Instruction of ID
Goinant, was resolved to spare no means
10 accomplish that object. Three divisions
OF the army and several detachments OF yo-
luRteers have been marched against the re-
bells, and 10 the mountains OF Grand Anse,
which they occupied, peace has been resto-
red.
Ibis result, fellow citizens, is the effect OF
the abilities Of the generals, of the perseve-
rance and bravery of the officers and soldiers
who have been employed on the occasion.
In effect there are no difficulties which our
troops have not surmounted; no caverns
which they have not searched, and wherever
they presented themselves, the submission
Of The revolted has anticipated the chastise-
nent OF the Republic and in fegaining one
Of the choicest portions of our territory they
were compelled TO use their arms only a
gainst few audacious men who had provo
ked their death by their obstinacy, which
they justly deserved as traitors and Infamous
wretches.
Soldiers, employed in the Grand Anse, land
Jon volunteer national Guards, experience
as~tisfaction truly delightful, in ielicitating
you this day. You nave proved that you
know, how TO unite to warlike valor, that I'M
conquerabIe frmness Of mind, which is Ca
rable OF lriumphing over every obstacle, and
which renders men capable OF executing the
greatest enterprises. Our country is CRATE
ful for your seryiccs-she will never forget
them. You are about to return TO your re-
spective quarters aud repoSe yourselves from
sthe severe campaign you have SO happily
Terminated, In The midst o, the repose you
are about to Taste, that If you have overcome
in the Grand Anse difficulties which appear
ed insurmountable, there remains nothing
more for you 10 do. Be, therefore, ever at
tentiye TO my voice, and ready al the first
signal 10 march with me wherever You may
be called to consolidate our national stabili-
" and glory
And you. inhabitants Of the Grand Anse

generous brothers, the defenders of ouI
country, from those rebels by whom it was
devastated. restore ii TO you in the name
Of the Republic then return TO i. with con
iidence, and enjoy in security that possessi
on of which you have been deprived 70
fourteen years. Emulate in zeal and perse
yerance the other Inhabitants of our plains
in order that cultivation and abundance may
/. flourish May spirit of justice, 6rmness
and benevclence continually preside owe
your transactions with the culGvators--an,
especially towards those VINO have been 70
so long time under the influence of error
in order that they may be made 10 forget tn
wrongs they have done, and that they ma,
be taught to enjoy happiness under the bow

triotisin assures nae that you viii not do les
for the nation than the nation has done to
you.

&c good, my heart warmed with most a
dent desire for the prosperity OF the sta,
