Toussaint Louverture is arrested at Georges
This habitation belonged to Toussaint-Louverture. He had withdrawn there. It was there that, on 10 June 1802, the former governor of Saint-Domingue was arrested, on the order of General Brunet, of the Leclerc expedition. General Brunet received him with distinction. At a given signal, the French officers disarmed the indigènes. Toussaint drew his sabre. An aide-de-camp of General Leclerc, named Ferrari, presented himself before him and said to him: “General, by the orders of Captain General Leclerc, hand me your sabre; we have not come to do you harm; we wish only to arrest you.” “Infamous treachery!” cried Toussaint-Louverture, “divine justice will avenge me!” He then returned his sabre to its scabbard. General Brunet had him kept under watch until the next day, when he had him bound and placed between two battalions of carabiniers who formed a line. He thus entered the Gonaïves, where he was embarked on the frigate the Créole. On arriving at the Cap, he was transferred to the Héros.
