Toussaint was arrested on the Georges plantation and taken from Gonaïves to Cap aboard the Héros.

Haitian

The transportation of Toussaint-L’Ouverture was therefore decided. The canton he inhabited was filled with troops. These troops committed damage; he complained of it. He was urged to go to the Gonaïves to come to an understanding with General Brunet. He yielded to this invitation, and, arrested on the Georges plantation in the night of 18 prairial (7 June), he was transferred from the Gonaïves to the Cap on the vessel the Héros (2).
