Saint-Marc. Polvérel and Aillaud land; the royalists try to raise the population.

Savary, mayor of Saint-Marc, Roy de la Grange and Decoigne, ardent royalists, tried to raise the whole population against them; but these guilty designs were thwarted by Chanlatte, who promised the work gangs of the heights of Saint-Marc, whom agitators had stirred up and led astray, one full day free of labor each week. Polvérel and Aillaud left Saint-Marc without having been able to crush the royalist party, and arrived at Port-au-Prince, where they were welcomed by the revolutionary party that reigned there. Meanwhile Roy de la Grange, who was in the royalist party what Praloto had been in the party of the Red Pompons, had been obliged to flee Saint-Marc and take refuge in Jamaica.
