"You will doubtless have seen in my former letter, how much the army of the Republic continues to distinguish itself in this quarter; it has recently signalized itself in the defence of Leogane, the details of which I shall furnish you as soon as leisure permits; being unable to do it at present, as the vessel which carries this is on the point of sailing, and affords me only time to inform you that the English were totally defeated the day before yesterday— We have only to regret 22 Americans who have fallen victims to those monitors, but in the heat of the action, our brave soldiers could distinguish no one.
Orders have just been issued concerning those Americans who may attempt to furnish the British ports. This measure will furnish us with provisions at a low rate."
