PROPOSITIONS DES CITOYENS DE LA COLONIE QUI ÉTOIENT RASSEMBLÉS À LÉOGANE, ET RÉPONSES DE M. LE GOUVERNEUR GÉNÉRAL. Proposals from the citizens of the colony who were gathered in Léogane, and replies from the Governor General. The military, supported by the Royal Governor of Saint Domingue, took action against the Assembly of Saint Marc on July 29-30, and the dissidents fled on the ship Le Léopard on August 8. It was felt necessary, especially in the south and west of the colony, to continue to contain the fugitive dissidents. A meeting held in Léogane was surrounded by the Governor's troops and the militia of planters called the Voluntary Patriots. In the end some restricted proposals were put forward, to which Governor Peinier gave mostly conciliatory replies. In the present document the introduction by Peinier is followed by the proposals opposing the Governor's proposals. A rare work, with only seven copies in OCLC.
