Extract of a letter from Don Francisco Antonio, Garcia
d e QuinTANA; dated Cameras, ^tb Sept. 1781.
" Here, friend of my foul, we are farrounded by enemies
both by sea and by land; but the latter occasions to us much
more concern than the former: For with the Albaratos of Li
ma, Cufco, &c. all the villages and cities of the kingdom of St.
Tec, have rose in revolt, and the .malecontents there have at
tempted tp spread their spirit of difco:d through this Province
and that of Maracaybo, in which they have already effected
the revolt of two cities, Merida and La Grita ; and proceeding
from these with above a thousand men, they attempted to raise
a revolt in the city of Truxillo, which appertains to this Pro
vince, but 'the inhabitants having refilled on the firft attack,
they retired for more men and better arms.
“ As no confidence can be reposed in the inhabitants,
whose inclinations tend to these innovations, and they hear
•ofthem with pleasure, it has been thought proper to order
thither 400 militia and.2oo Maracayos* ; the one and the other
have already^ot as far as the Bay they call La Mela, and this
is all we know as yet of th® expedition. May God be with
them, for we Europeans are in a very unhappy Hate, and our
lives very much exposed.
“ The Intendant has with the utmost zeal, and by every
.Cleans in his power, endeavoured to calm these convulhohs;
had he not taken precautions at the early period he did, I do
not know what might have been our fate to-day. Even now
the insurgents threaten us, and declare that they will be in this
" Every ore is difgufled with the Intendant, and all speak
against him and his measures, without conlidering that these
are only an execution of the King's orders. These growing
.disturbances have thrown him into such consternation, that he
already wishes with the utrnoft anxiety to retire hence, and it
is certain that he has now desired to be recalled ; but the fame
things will happen with any other they may fend here, for it
is not convenient to the Governgurs, that there Ihould be
intendants, &c."
Extract of a letter from the Intendant of the Caraccas, to the
Prime Minkler of Spain, dated September, 1781.
" M, very dear Sir, and honoured Patron or Mafler,
" BY this opportunity I have the honour to enclose your
Excellency a particular account of the progress of the infur
redion in the province of Maracaybo, birred up and abated by
the rebels of the kingdom of Santa Fee, and the meafurts the
- Captain-General and myfelf have taken to prevent its spread
ing to this province, and to qhiet the minds of the people;
vilfo, the last advices I have received relative to it.
" The great importance of these dispatches occasions my
requeuing your Excellency to read them, that your Excellency
may fee the designs of the sedition of Santa Fee, is to intro
duce the rebellion into all quarters, in order to make it more
difficult to bring those engagedin it to punishment; their views
are principally directed to take poffeflion of a sea-port, in or
der to open a communication, whereby they may receive fuc
cours from strangers, offering an cftablifhment and trade with
the natives, which will give them a share in the great riches
and many valuable productions of this country, already too
well knoWn, cfpecially to the neighbouring colonies, who al-
ways have procured them, though with much difficulty. That
your, Excellency may be fully informed, I inclofe copies of
letters, one of which I received yeftefday from the Governour
of Marycabo, the other from a Jew, David Morales, a prin
cipal merchant in the Dutch Island of Curafoa.
“ I cannot fay too much to your Excellency 1 ^ dive to the
late intelligence I have received. I beseech you to take ipto
your mod serious consideration these most important affairs,
and to provide as it ihall seem belt for the preservation and de
fence of these provinces, themoft beneficial and of the greatest
confenuence of any of his Majeßy's possessions in America, on
account of their advantageous fit nation and many rich producti
ons; under the firm persuasion that if the speedy and effectual
measures are not taken that our filiation requires where so
much is at stake, the mob fatal consequences may follow, and
it will be impossible, if immediate remedy is not applied, to
keep pofleffidn."
Extract of another letter from the Intendant of the Caracals to the
Minifer of Spain.
“SI R,
“ Although I have seldom had tire honour of writing to your
Excellency since my arrival in this province, not wishing to
have taken your attention from greater affairs, well knowing
your Excellency to be laudably engaged in the publick weal,
I always keep in grateful remembrance the protection you
were pleased to offer me at the time of my departure, having
the firmeft reliance on it; my duty now indispensably requires
me to be no longer silent, but to inform your Excellency of the
actual state of these parts of America.
“ I am certain your Excellency is well acquainted with the
revolution in Peru, through the perfidious audacity of the
Indian Tupac Amaro, with the occurrences consequent to his
success in that powerful kingdom, as also the general insurrec
tion that immediately followed in the new kingdom of Gra
nada. It is now my duty to place before your superior judge
ment the later proceedings, disloyalty and treasons of the rest
less and difeontented in this last kingdom, and their views in the
diftrift under my infpedion. Not content with the grants made
them in their capital equal toctheir extravagant wishes against
the most sacred rights of their sovereign,. they have with the
utrnoft arrogance, by force of arms, compelled the peaceable
and well-affected to join their wicked party; having in large
bodies approached the confines of this province. That your
Excellency may be better informed, I inclofe you various ac
counts, which are written with truth and perspicuity; your
Excellency's judgment will difeover the inatention of our
commanders ; —neceffity forces me to complain of the indo
lence and cowardice of the chief of this province, and what
happened in consequence to this time, I hope the meafurts I
have taken, and my exertions, have entirely dissipated for the
