Rochambeau landed at Cap to take up Leclerc’s succession.

Haitian

Rochambeau, of whom the cannon of Leipsig, too honorably for him, has rid humanity, coming from Port-au-Prince, had landed at Cap as early as 26 brumaire (17 November), to gather up the political succession of Leclerc. Although, with new reinforcements arrived from France, he had caused Fort-Liberté to be retaken from Toussaint-Brave and Port-de-Paix from Capois, he beheld with no less rage the reins of the colony about to slip from the mother country.
