The capture of Fort-Dauphin was a bloodless encounter of the French Revolutionary Wars in which a Spanish expeditionary force under Admiral seized Fort-Dauphin (now Fort-Liberté), in Saint-Domingue, from France. The French garrison of about a thousand men, blockaded by land and sea, surrendered without firing a single shot.
In late January 1794, a Spanish fleet of three ships of the line accompanied by a frigate landed 400 soldiers and blockaded Fort-Dauphin. On 28 January, the French Republican garrison, commanded by the mulatto Candy, surrendered to Admiral Aristizábal y Espinosa without firing a single shot. Candy, however, made it a condition for his capitulation that Jean-François Papillon's black troops not be allowed to enter the city.
The Spanish did not respect the terms of the capitulation. Candy was arrested and sent to Mexico to do hard labour, whereas the rest of prisoners were sent to France as prisoners of war. Fort-Dauphin was occupied by Spanish troops of the Puerto Rico Regiment under the command of Joaquim de Saso. The Spanish captured 41 cannons, having suffered no losses.
