Ouanaminthe. Candy took up arms nearby.

On the night of the general insurrection Candy, a man of color, had taken up arms in the neighborhood of Ouanaminthe at the head of a great number of his own people, most of them condemned in their absence in Ogé’s affair. Communications between the North and the West were cut; and the deputies of the colonial Assembly who wished to reach Le Cap by land were obliged to cross the Spanish colony and make for Fort-Dauphin, from where they went on to their destination. Two of them, less prudent than the others, Odelucq and Daverhoult, entered the province of the North, were taken at the Galliffet camp, and sawn between two planks.
