Port-au-Prince. Roume brings Toussaint and Rigaud together there.

Roume strove to persuade Rigaud that it was his duty to submit to Toussaint, who was disposed to make every possible sacrifice to avoid coming to blows. He proposed to him that things be left as they had been before Hédouville’s arrival. Rigaud told him that Petit-Goâve, Grand-Goâve and Léogane ought to fall within his command, since those towns formed part of the department of the South, and that he could not take orders from a chief who had been denounced as a traitor by an agent of France; that, moreover, while he was shedding his blood for the Republic, General Toussaint was fighting in the Spanish ranks for royalty against general liberty. Yielding, however, to Roume’s entreaties, he showed himself willing to confine himself within the old limits of the department of the South (from the bridge of Miragoâne to Tiburon).
