- Art. 1. The city of Aux Cap and the forts surrounding it will be delivered, within ten days, from the date of 28 present (November 20), to the General-in-chief Dessalines.
- Art. 2. The munitions of war that are in arsenals, weapons, and artillery will be left in the state they are in now.

- Art. 5. Those too sick and injured to be transported out of state will be treated in hospitals until they heal. They will be specially recommended for merciful treatment by General Dessalines.
- Art. 6. General Dessalines, giving the assurance of his protection to the inhabitants who will remain in the place, demands justice from General Rochambeau - the freedom of the country's men whatever their color, who cannot, under any pretext whatsoever, be forced to embark with the French army.
- Art. 7. Troops from both armies will remain in their respective positions until the tenth day set for the evacuation of Aux Cap.
