VINCENT, Charles (van-song), Baron de St., West Indian soldier, born in Jeremie, Hayti, in 1739; died in Leogane in October, 1794. He entered the military service, fought in this country under Rochambeau in 1780-'1, and after the conclusion of peace commanded a regiment in Tobago and Martinique. In 1787 he was appointed governor and commander-in-chief at Cape Prancais, where he took an active part in the civil wars that desolated the colony, put down the rebellion of Vincent Oge and Chavannes, and checked the revolutionary movement that was led by Jean Francois and Jean Biassou. He sided afterward with Governor Galband against Commissioner Etienne Polverel, and was taken prisoner at Cape Francais, but pardoned by Polverel on account of his military talents. St. Vincent was sent to oppose the progress of the British, who had landed at Jeremie, 19 September, 1793, and drove them from Tiburon, but was defeated at Leogane, and killed in the action.
