TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE.


Sto the mountains. Let me know, as soon as this order has
been executed, the results which it produces, because, if the
means of persuasion which you employ do not succeed, I shall
use military measures. I salute you."
 The same day I received a letter from Gen. Brunet, of
 which the following is an extract: -
 ART or S AINT DOMiNGO,
 HEADQUARTEIB AT GEORGES, June ?, 182.
 BRUNFT, GEN. OF DIVIStIN, TO THE GEN. OF DIVIsION,
 TOUSSAINT L'OuVERTURE:
 L Now is the time, Citizen-General, to make known unques-
 tionably to the General-in-chief that those who wish to deceive
 him in regard to your fidelity are base calumniators, and that
 your sentiments tend to restore order and tranquillity in your
 neighborhood. You must asist me in securiug free communi-
 cation to the Capp, which has. bLen interrupte-d since ytsterda),
 three pe-rnos having been murdtrel by iy fitbrigands between
 Ennery and Coupe-h-Pintade. Sc.nd in pursuit ofl these mur-
 derer" men worthy of confidence, whom you are to pay well;
 I will keep account of your expenses.
 SWe have arrangements to make together, my dear General,
 which it is impossible to do by letter, but which an hour's con-
 ference would complete. If I were not worn out. by labor and
 petty cares, I should have been the bearer of my own letter to-
 day; but not being able to leave at this time, will you not
 come to me ? If you bave recovered from your indisposition,
 let it be to-morrow; when a good work is to be done, there
 should be no delay. You will not find in my country-house all
 the comforts whi,.h I could desire lreforr receiving. you, but you
 will find the cin'erity of an honest man who desiires only the
 prosperity of the colony and your own happiness. If Madame
 SToussaint, whom I greatly desire to know, wi-hes to take the
 journey, it will give me pleasure. If she needs horses, I will
 send her mine. I repeat, General, you will never find a sin-
 cerer friend than ni)elt.
