The columns of Beauvais and Rigaud entered Port-au-Prince, received by Blanchelande and Roume.

Now, Blanchelande set sail on the 22nd for Port-au-Prince. On the 23rd, Roume, escorted by a detachment commanded by Lapointe, departed by land. It was only at Croix-des-Bouquets that he embarked to rejoin Blanchelande, already arrived in the roadstead. Beauvais was at Croix-des-Bouquets, at the head of all the former confederates who had hastened to rally to him. Rigaud, summoned from the Plaine-du-Fonds, was at Byzoton, at the head of an imposing force: both ready to swoop down upon the city. But the wisdom of Roume prevented any disaster from breaking out. On 5 July, at seven o’clock in the morning, the two armies made their entry: Blanchelande, accompanied by two municipal officers, went to the Saint-Joseph gate to receive the column of Beauvais, and Roume, with two other municipal officers, to the Léogane gate, to receive that of Rigaud (1). The bearing of the confederates was calm and full of dignity. As they had promised Roume, no recrimination came from their mouths. Beaulieu himself, who still wept for his wife, had given the commissioner his word to seek no vengeance if he should meet the murderers (2). Roume nevertheless had a dozen dangerous ringleaders arrested, among them the horrible Praloto (3).
