The Whitehall Accord (French: Traité de Whitehall) was agreed on 19 February 1793 by Henry Dundas and signed on 25 February 1793.[1] It was an agreement between the Kingdom of Great Britain and French counter-revolutionary colonists from the French possessions of Saint-Domingue, Martinique and Guadeloupe. The treaty allowed them to maintain ownership of their slaves and properties (slavery was later abolished by the French government on 4 February 1794), while the British were allowed to occupy Guadeloupe and Martinique to prevent the French Revolutionary forces from occupying the islands.[2] The postwar status of Saint Domingue was left open, while Martinique and Guadeloupe were to be returned to a restored French monarchy.
It was signed by Henry Dundas for the British, and French émigrés and monarchists Pierre Victor, baron Malouet (Saint-Domingue), Louis de Curt (Guadeloupe), Ignace-Joseph-Philippe de Perpigna and Louis-François Dubuc (Martinique).
