The above appears to be confirmed by accounts published in the Courier Francois of the 18th inst. which state, that Rigaud had returned, by a flag of truce, the chariot and horses of Gen. Williamson, which had been captured, also some pipes of Madeira—and from these circumstances, and that of the Commandant of Leogane's shooting himself, after an ineffectual attempt to disarm the battalion of Provence, they conclude that Rigaud means to deliver up Leogane.
