Léogane. Seized by the Riviériste insurgents without a blow.

General Pierre-Paul, named chief of execution by the insurgents, Montès, Bélus Ledoux, Bédouet the son (*) and Dudray Ducoudray make for the office of the place, which colonel Thame commanded, and seize it without striking a blow; they go on to the office of the arrondissement, enter into parley with the general of division Désiré, and tell him that the capital is given over to fire and blood; that it is divided into two camps for two presidents, neither of whom suits the country. They added that they had come to Léogane to proclaim Rivière Hérard, the constitutional President. General Désiré came to terms with them and handed over to them the office of the arrondissement.
