Rigaud enters Les Cayes, where the Popular Assembly had already removed general Voltaire from his command.

All was therefore accomplished. The next day, 1 November, Rigaud made his entry into Les Cayes. Imitating the hypocrisy of Toussaint-L’Ouverture, he deplored the tumults of the preceding days. He had the decree of the commune that removed Voltaire revoked. He had him invited to return ashore, since Gaspard had not wished to leave the port. Voltaire did indeed come down; but, a man of honor before all else, he refused to treat with the insurrection and soon reembarked for Jacmel.
