'Vive Robespierre !
This inscription, I understand, formed a part of their speech in I793, when the Blacks and the Mulattos carried them in triumph to the Government-House, and afterwards set fire to the city in eight dit- ferent places. They used every woman with savage barbarity, and then murdered with the bayonet, man, woman, and child. Sixty-two thousand inhabitants left the city. They exterminated the White$, ■KP 14 and revelled in their cruelty eighteen days!
Such is man when in the posse...ssion of power ! and happy would it be for the hu- man race if the Insurgents of St. Domingo, so Httle removed from savage life, were not countenanced by those who have par- taken of the felicities of civilized society.
Of the carnage that flew through this island enough has already been said ; but it is yet in the recollection of many Americans, that the view of the city in flames, the adjacent sugar works, &c. was the most dr-eadful ever beheld.
After a long perambulation over these scenes of former horrors, I returned to the hotel, but with a mind so much impressed with what I had seen, that for a consider- able time I could not divest myself of the most terrible ideas :— my imagination was haunted with the shades of those who had fallen, and murdered worth and innocence were ever before my eyes.
