I saw that the merchants were still in the same place and order as when I quilted them Dessaline was then engaged with the doc tors. 1 here ere among them t wo young and good look8 doctors, who hod been left behind by the FYtfUjcji army. He appeared to give them a preference, on account of their never having owned any slaves, and also because of their being. Dandcre, which means; ignorant of every thing'apertainin to the couue-y. Besides these two, another excellent man whose name was Sauve, ib. the saved, whom, he said, on account of his name, must be saved. Alter this, a long consultation took place among the superior officers; when Dessaline advanced towaids the marchands, and said, with a loud voice, "I am willing to remit and forgive all your old sins against me, provided you oil get yourselves naturalized citizens of Haiti, and pay each twelve hundred dollars for the privilege of being acknowledged and protected as merchants. 1 allow you four days to procure the money, and when paid into the hands of Jean Jaques, the treasurer, you will all appear on the fourth dav, in the afternoon, with the receipt in your hands, and 1 shall deliver to you your certificates of naturalization." The doctors were dealt with in the same iflanner," except the two young French doctors already spoken of. and Doctor bauve, who were let off from taxation. Besides this, Dessaline gave a guard of live men to each of them. These soldiers were to he billetted in their houses until the money was paid. As these fifty-nine white men were march ing with their respective guards towards their home, there was brought before Dessa line a holy character, whom I had not seen at the review. It was the Reverend father Barbier, a monk (I do not at this moment recoliect the order.) He was habited in the dress of his oruer: lu? had officiated as cu rate for the parishes ol" Jeremie and Donna Maria. His long and folding white serce robe, and his hood, over which hung long silver locks; together with his hijrh statue, and seventy winters marked on his head. made his appearance highly venerable. I was surprised when I heard Dessaline burst into a savage laughter at the old man s face, but I could not hear what he told him, as at this moment they were moving off from the place thfy had occupied in front of me. I his fither Barbier had, by economy, accu iiiuiaieii a iar?e iorttine in ready monev. - Dessaline, accompanied him to the presbytarv- house and cot his money from him. T. he moiiK maite ins escape, ana took relume un der the altar in the church. They placed a guard around to prevent his escape. Imme diatiJy after dusk, I heard the report of three guns fired at t lie same lime, and was told that the soldiers had, by order, dragged him out from under the altar and shot him dead in the cemetry, iti the middle of which the church stood. It was about one P. M. when the army were dismissed and sent to their respective quarters. It appeared lrom all that I had ieard,till now, that money or death was the ultimatum. I was mistaken; money could not save; Heath was inevitable. While I stood iu the latticed piazza hav ing a commanding view of the -whole place, did not observe above twenty men, colored ind black, brought there through mere curi osity. All the country negroes had disap- eared as soon as they delivered thir loads of provisions; they would not witness the destruction of their former masters whom they still cherished, notwithstanding the se vere trial I had just passed through, I felt the want of some nourishment; I was making my way down stairs when I overheard sev eral voices in the apartments below, speak ing about what was then occurring at the prisons. I retreated to my place of conceal ment; half an hourafterwards adjutant Ilay- nal came up with a servrant bringing food for me; he desired me to remain quiet in the place where I was, as it would be dangerous at this moment to be seen by the soldiery; he then told me that upwards of two hun dred white men having no money to give, had already been massacreed in front of the prisons, and their naked bodies thrown in the Dock at the City Wharf. That the pri sons were not large enough, aud that some of the prisoners who still retained both vigor of body and mind, were struggling against the assassins; but being unarmed, they were immediately destroyed with the bayonets and swords of ihe soldiers. Raynal staid with me but a few minutes, entreating me again not to quit my place, that no one would have access to it but" himself. It was about half past three o'clock when I observed a large number of officers making their way towards the prisons; I thought they were going to rescue some of the miserable victims; iu less than twenty minutes I saw many of them returning with white men along with them; my heart leaped for joy at this sight, the miniber increased; they all took the way leading to the dwel lings of their respective prisoners, and one whom I particularly remarked was the head commercial man, named Sterling, a French man, although his name proved his English origin, he was known to be rich, in conse- This Mr. Ste rling, as I learned from him after wards, waa led to his house. He unburied his mo ney, and gave i-e hundred doubloons. The officer having received this, was trying to force him back to jirison. when the colored woman who lived with him took his part; they wrestled, ami he made bis escape. He remained concealed about sixty five days, and ultimately arrived safe in Baltimore, where J met with hiui. - qvience of which he was led on by a superior officer. Ere it. was dark, I saw the same officers and White men returning towards the prisons. I learned shortly after this, that these unfortunate white men, having given to their conductors all the money and jewels they had, were told they could not be left at haine because of the soldiery, but must, for their safety return to their prisons. Night came: it covered with its black mantle such homicides and diabolical crimes, as light refuses to witness, and nature abhors. And, indeed, so heinous and fiend-like were tuey thought by the perpetrators themselves mat mey ttreaueci to De seen, and were ashamed to commit them hi the face of dav It was half past nine, and in the silence "of the night, when four hundred wretched inno cent white men, who, on this afternoon, had given up all they possessed to save their lives, now stripped of all their clothes, their arms fastened behind their backs, aud tied two by iwowitn cords, headed by black with large axes upon their shoulders, and ac companied by a black regiment with bayonet and swords in their hands, were seen march ing, or to speak more properly, were seen dragged along, through the place, lighted by numerous torches. They made a halt in front of Dessaline's head quarters for him to behold th victims, offered as a sacrifice to propitiate the promised favors cf'his sanguina ry od Hilbci force. So near to my place of reiuge was this appalling and heart-rending scene occurtng, that I heard the piercing cries of despair, the lamentations, the agonies of death, and the harsh rebukes and vociferations of the soldiery. Then I heard a voice order ing them oft. J hey took the street leading into the great road along the western coast. "j ihus closed the ever memorable 9th of March, 1804. The sun rose on the lOlh of March, but not brighter than it had done for several days. It seemed that this great luminary of the world, that beneficent aud visible eye of the Supreme Being, refused, as an unerring warning of his wrath and displeasure, to lend his light, or view those horrible scenes of human butche ries. 1 shall oner here no reflection, not even to portray my feelings. The reader is now present with me; he has already seen some of the horrible and inhuman bloodly effects of n lloertorce's regenerating principles; but even these are nothing in comparison with what remains for him to witness: and if he be an honest and sensible man; or if his hands have not as yet been imbrued in the crimsoned blood of a father; a mother, sisters, brothers, friends and neighbors, I leave him to make his own thoughts and reflections; but, if he is a monster, now guilty ol nom icicle, or thirsting, as the abolitionists do, for the com mission of all those heinous crimes, let him enjoy his bloody triumph, and revel for joy over the bodies of so many human vic tims! Immediately after breakfast, I resumed my seat in the latticed piazza. I observed a great many white men moving from the pris ons, accompanied by black and colored offi cers, or returning there, as on the preceeding afternoon. This continued until about four o'clock, when my attention was diverted by a new scene. I saw passing, close in front of my retreat, a mulatto, leading a white man, aud a young and delicate while female hang ing at the mulatto's left arm she was beg ging, crying, entreating him to spare her hus band's life. I recognised her; it was Mrs. D ,t a young and rich heiress, and her hus band. They had been but eighteen months united iu wedlock. I followed them with my eyes, aud saw them stop under a tree, in frout of the commandant of the place's quarters. Mr. D was left under the tree, surrounded by soldiers, and I saw her led into the house by the mulatto. I was intent iu observing the denouement of this painful occurrence, when after about fifteen miuutes, I perceived a man rising up in the air under the tree. It was poor Mr. D. , whom they had hung to a limb, and who appeared struggling with death. At this moment, the soldiers drew back, as if to make room for some person ap proaching. It was Mrs. D , held by the arm by the same fiendish mulatto, who was pointing to her husband, hanging dead from the tree. Piercing shrieks were heard re sounding through the whole square place. She fell to the ground: they carried her away. I heard, afterwards, that this mulatto monster had promised to resque her husband, if she would listen to his proposals. She submitted and then the signal was given to run up her husband. Horrible! horrible!! I was in a great agitation of mind, and my heart struck with horror at the odious scene I had beheld, when my attention was attracted to another place, by a rush of people hurrying toward a building constructed in the form of a block- house, with circular galleries, and which I knew to be the residence of Colonel Gaston.
