BLENAC, Charles de, governor of the French colonies in the West Indies and South America from 1712 to 1736. He died, soon after he was recalled by the king of France, in the latter year. During his administration, which was most prosperous, the secretaries of finance, justice, and police for the French section of the island of Santo Domingo were first appointed, 1718. Several serious revolts (from 1720 to 1728) were suppressed by pacific means. Then Blenac procured a revocation of the privileges of the West India company, which were the cause of the troubles, the company having the exclusive right to import slaves into the island. Blenac also put an end to filibusterism, which had long been the only occupation of many men in Hayti. He promoted agriculture and commerce.
