Charles Tarbe, the author of this Report and one of the French Deputies, tried to paint a positive picture of what was happening on the island of St. Domingue in terms of the whites there. He stresses the support of the "Amis de Noirs," The Friends of the Blacks, and generally plays down some the reports of violence, explaining how the spirit of "our" revolution (France's) had inspired that of the islanders. However, in closing, Tarde mentions the principal acts of violence are coming from the "Blacks" in the north and the "Mulatres" in the West, and that something must be done.
