Fort-Dauphin. Moyse comes from here to Le Cap.

But immediately after his departure Sonthonax sent Adjutant-General Mentor into the West on a secret mission. On Mentor’s return he quarreled again with J. Raymond and called Toussaint ambitious and a hypocrite. Raymond informed the general-in-chief of it through an inhabitant named Sallenave; and on 18 Thermidor (5 August) General Moyse came from Fort-Liberté to Le Cap. He announced to Raymond the visit of Toussaint Louverture. Moyse’s presence at Le Cap alarmed Sonthonax, who feared that the general-in-chief had conceived the idea of deporting him. His fears were well founded, for as soon as Toussaint reached Le Cap he told Raymond of his wish to put the civil commissioner on board ship. Raymond, who appeared to oppose it, was not sorry; he nonetheless arranged an interview at Pascal’s house between Sonthonax and Toussaint, and there was between them a reconciliation that was feigned on both sides. To curb Toussaint’s boldness, Sonthonax told him he had learned that peace had been restored in Europe and that France was about to send considerable forces to Saint-Domingue. But Raymond and Pascal took care to let the general-in-chief know that this news had been invented by Sonthonax.
