The Senate raised Pétion to the command of the department of the West and Gérin to that of the South.

Haitian

In spite of this explicit opinion, the Senate, which on 18 January raised Pétion to the command of the department of the West, and Gérin to the command of that of the South, resolved, in the same sitting, that the former “should put himself in possession, in the shortest possible time, of the limits of the department he commanded (1).”
