REGULATION made by the Gouverneur of the Cap, for the Company of Free nègres of the dependency of the same Town

WE, Chevalier of the Military Order of Saint-Louis, Gouverneur of the Island of Sainte-Croix, and Commandant at Cap-François and dependencies. To remedy the license, insubordination and disorder of the free nègres, which go to the point that none can be found for service, whether when it is necessary to make detachments to go after the marrons, or to send elsewhere, and even to come for orderly duty at the Commandant’s: We have judged it necessary, to repress such abuses, to renew and to see closely to the execution of an old Ordinance made on this subject. NAMELY:
