The general alarm was beaten at Les Cayes against the insurrection of Marlot, who blew out his brains on the Bry plantation.

Haitian

Whatever may be thought of this appreciation (1), the general alarm was beaten on 7 brumaire (29 October); Laplume went to encamp on the Laborde plantation. Marlot, taken unawares, betrayed perhaps, pursued from plantation to plantation, went and blew out his brains on that of Bry.
