Port-de-Paix. Renewed insurrection put down by Albert; fifteen Africans ordered tried by court-martial.

The district of Port-de-Paix, which had enjoyed some tranquillity since the first insurrection of Étienne Daty, had stirred again. The insurgents gave themselves up to massacre and pillage, and the delegate of the civil commission at Port-de-Paix, Citizen Albert, succeeded by wise and energetic measures in breaking up the revolt. He had the principal authors of these devastations arrested, among others Étienne Daty, who had been the leader of the movement of the year before. On 30 August the civil commission decreed that the men named Dutacque, Étienne, Baracia, Bélony, Pierre Mondongue, Jacquet, James, André Colas, Poinponot, Antoine, Jean-Baptiste, Lafortune, Basile, Comus and Monsuy, Africans, authors of or accomplices in the murders committed in the mountains, should be tried by court-martial at Port-de-Paix. Étienne Daty was condemned to death and shot in October.
