Port-au-Prince. Watrin died there

The captain-general named Colonel Neterwood, a Swede in the service of France, commander of his guard of honor. Chef de brigade Sabès replaced General Claparède in command of the place of Le Cap, and Claparède was given General d’Hénin’s brigade. Claparède and the adjudant-general Maillard were charged with commanding the outposts of Le Cap by turns, for 24 hours at a time. General Watrin was carried off by the plague at Port-Républicain on 22 November, a fortnight after Rochambeau had left that town for Le Cap. General Brunet, who had just returned to Le Cap with the division of Le Borgne, replaced him in command of the divisions of the West and the South. Watrin was mourned by the Indigenous loyal to the French, whose protector he had always shown himself to be. He was even heard to wish for the triumph of the insurgents, to whom, it is true, he did not attribute ideas of independence: he had seen in them only Frenchmen who wished to remain free.
