Arrived at San Domingo Republic. The President of the Island is a black man.
The French Cruiser, Marsielles, is lying here & also two American ships, one a Naval troop ship the Prairie & the other a naval collier. The people here are at present in a state of rebellion. The American ships landed some men yesterday & they also wanted to fire on the town, but the French ship would not allow them. Everything seemed quiet enough when we left this evening.
