| Notes | Un arrêt de la commission spéciale d'appel de la Guadeloupe en date du 15 mai 1824 a prononcé la confiscation du navire et de sa cargaison et l'interdiction de son capitaine. Ces "Noirs nouveaux" [en d'autres lieux, on les appeile bozales] leur rappelant leurs droits de "libérés". Dès lors, le Comité craint que la revendication de ces droits aboutisse à former "une quatrième classe, intermédiaire... dangereuse pour la tranquilité publique. Des habitants, "persuadés que ces Noirs sont esclaves et ne forment pas une classe séparée", au contraire en demandent à loyer. Le ministère a donné l'ordre de transférer les Noirs à Cayenne. Mais le gouverneur, l'amiral Jacob, objecte que la mesure est contraire aux inérêts de la colonie et particulièrement des exploitations domaniales. |
