The concordat of Goureau between white and colored deputies

Haitian

On 19 October 1791, Caradeux sent commissioners there to discuss the articles of a new treaty with the affranchis. There were 27 white deputies there, headed by Caradeux the elder and representing the parishes of Port-au-Prince, Saint-Marc, Léogane, Mirebalais, the Gonaïves, the Petite-Rivière, the Croix-des-Bouquets, Petit-Goâve, Jacmel and the Arcahaie. The deputies of the citizens of color, presided over by Pinchinat, numbered 36 and represented the same parishes. The Colonial Assembly of the Cap, on learning of the concordat of Goureau, sent to Jamaica to beg the governor of that island to come and take possession of Saint-Domingue. He replied simply that peace reigned between France and England.

Rouzier tells this under the entry Goureau.
