Pétion entered Plaisance with his regiment.

Haitian

The chief of brigade Pétion, leaving his house to the hospitality of Captain Boyer, his deputy when he was adjutant general, set out from Port-Républicain with his regiment, crossed the Arcahaye, Saint-Marc, the Gonaïves, and, by a false direction, as the chief of the 2nd legion of gendarmerie, Commandant Lachaise, then encamped at the Pendu, puts it, he arrived at Gros-Morne (1). From this town he entered Plaisance on 14 thermidor (2 August) (2).
