Republican calendar date of 20 brumaire an huitième is November 11, 1799 in the Georgian calendar; Port-Républicain became the new name of Port-au-Prince.
Signed on p. 9: A. Rigaud.
André Rigaud, who was born in Les Cayes, Saint-Domingue, was the commander in chief of the French colonial army in the South. When the British left in 1798, Toussaint approached the Americans with a request for military aid and John Adams agreed. In September of 1799, US warships were sent to the south side of the island. In November of 1799, the division of Dessalines tried to conquer Jacmel in the southern province but was unsuccessful. In this document, Rigaud denounces Toussaint as a traitor to the French Republic and vows to fight for and preserve the southern province in the name of the Republic.
