A" Dispute between a Curate and a Corregidor was the firft
cause of this infuiTe&ion. The former did not make
the Gospel the rule of his cpudu&, and the Corregidor reproved
him, not so much from a fenfc of duty and religion, as from
a define to Ihcwhi; consequence and authority: the Corregi
dor, therefore, hearing that the Priest led an immoral life,
sent for him, and, without any more ceremony, threatened
him with the rigour of the law, if he did not alter his con
dud. The Priest, who did not suppose that he was to reform
in the course of a day, was resolved to be merry, and to take
a double dose of pleasure, before he bid adieu to it for ever.
The Corregidor was informed of this; and some good natured
person having, at the fame time, suggested to him that it was
merely through contempt for his authority that the Priest had
acted, the Corregidor had his reverence thrown into pnfon,
and sequestered his property. The Curate found means to in
form the Bilhop of Cufeo of the attack made by the Corre
gidor on the. privileges of the church; his Lorddrip felt the
greatest indignation, not against the Priest, for his scandalous
way of living, but against the Corregidor, for having en
croached upon his prerogative, in imprisoning one of his Cler
gy, and upon that ground he excommunicated him. A Priest in
brifon, and a Corregidor excommunicated, could not be with
out partifans^who widened the breach between the Church and
the Law. The Corregidor appealed to the Archbishop of Li
ina, as Metropolitan; his Graqe felt indignation that it was
not himfelf who had pronounced the sentence of excommuni
cation, and took it off merely to spite his Suffragan of Cufeo.
Things were in this state, when the Great Barigel, or Pro
vost of the Visitor General, arrived, in order to make out a
new lift of the inhabitants, without diftinftion of Indians,
Meftces, or Mulatto^ for the purpose of laying on new-taxes.
The excommunicated Corregidor was busy in making the ne
teffary arrangements to forward the views of Government.
The Caciques, and particularly Tupac Aymaruc (whose Spa
nish name is Lon Jofcph Cafimir Boniface Tupamara, lineally
descended from the Imperial family of the Incas, whose Em
pire was extinguished by the death of Atabalipa, the lad Em
peror of Peru, who was murdered in 1541 by order of Don
Diego D'Almagro, the associate of Francis Pizarro) formed
the bold resolution of arresting the Corregidor. This Tupac
Aymaruc was Cacique of the province, and a prefeffed friend
to' the Priest. Ariaga (for that was the Corregidor's name)
was invited to dine with the Cacique ; butjuft as he was fitting
down to table, he was seized, and thrown into prison, load
ed with irons, and was so ftri(ftiy watched, that he could not
write to any perfan, or so much as fee a friend. He was
brought to trial in a few days; and the defendant of the Incas
compelled the Corregidor to fubfefibe a circular letter to the
principal Caciques of the Indians, detiring that they would
attend at Tinta, to be present at an execution that was to take
place, by the King's orders, on the feaft of St. Charles, fyi
aga having performed what the Indian Prince required, the
letter brought a vast concourse of people to Tinta. On the
eve of the feaft of Sr. Charles, Tupac caused the Corregidor's
sentence to be read to him, in which it was set forth, that by
the King's order he was condemned to be hanged.
Ariaga finding it impossible to extricate himfelf, resolved to
inake a virtue of necessity; and arming himfelf with fortitude,
resigned himfelf to his fate: he desired that fc might have the
happiness to receive the sacrament before his execution: Tu
pac, far from refufing hit request, had given orders before
hand, that the Ministers of the Church Ihould attend him.
On the day appointed for the execution, the great square
was crouded, and the militia under arms, to preserve the
peace: at nine o'clock in the morning, the sacrament was
carried Solemnly to the prison; and Ariaga received it with all
possible fervour. At 12 the Corregidor was brought out, un
der a strong guard of Indians well armed, at whose head rode
_T A pdc, on a fine white horse ; on each fide were the other In
dian Caciques, mounted on black horses. When they arri
ved at the gallows, which had been fixed in the great square,
Tupac caused the Corregidor's sentence to be read so loud,
that the crowd might hear it. In the sentence it was pofitive
fy aflerted, that the execution was to take place, in conse
quence of an express command of the King. The unfortunate
Corregidor had then a habit of the Order of St Francis put
on, .that he might thus die a Member of that Order; all this
time there was not an executioner to be found: Tiqiac order
ed one of the Corregidor's Saves to execute the sentence, un
der pain of being hanged himfelf. The faithful Have threw
himfelf at the feet of Tupac, and with tears intreated him to
djfpenfe with his services 011 the present occasion, declaring at
the fame time, that he should die with grief, if. he ihould
execute the sentence : the poor fellow went farther, and im
plored mercy for what he called the best of matters: but Tu
pac was inflexible; and he sternly commanded the Have to
obey ; the latter, to save his own life, put the rope about his
matter's neck, and tying it to the gallows, he took him in his
arms, and leaped with him off the ladder. The weight of
two men fiiapped the rope, and they both fell together. At
the light of this, the Friars, who had attended the Corregidor
in his devotions, threw themselves at the feet of Tupac, and
entreated him to spare Ariaga, who was hill alive; and told
him that in Spain it was the custom to pardon a criminal, if
the rope ihould break with his weight. But Tupac was un
moved by their {applications ; and With an air of inflexibility,
told the Friars, that it was impossible to pa don a criminal
whom the. King himfelf had condemned to die. Another rope
was therefore got, and the poor slave being obliged to go
through the terrible office that had been imposed upon him,
the Corregidor was hanged. His body was kept hanging three
days ; and at the end of that time Tupac gave his friends leave
to take him down, and bury him with all the funeral pomp
usual at the interment of Corregidors.
In the mean time Tupac, reflecting upon the consequences
that he might naturally expert after such an aft, began to take
measures to prevent them, by assembling such a force, as Ihould
enable him to make head against the Government: he soon
mustered a body of 200 of the militia, and 5000 Indians, who
joined him in c'onfequence of a proclamation he had issued, in
which he promised two reals a day to every soldier, four to
every ferjeant, and fix to every officer.
The Corregidor of Cufeo hearing in the mean time, how
Tupac had treated the Corregidor of Tinta, aflfembled 300 of
the militia, and gave the command to the inoft fkilful officers,
enjoining them, at the fame time, to use all means to get Tu
pac into their power, and to fend him to Cufeo. At the close
of the second or third day after this detachment had set out,
they arrived at an Indian village, which they found totally de
serted, the people having all joined Tupac's standard. The
officers imagined they could not get a better place to lodge in
that night; and therefore they and their detachment took up
their quarters in the village. The Indians returned about day
break, and finding the Spaniards asleep in their huts, fell upon
them, and immediately put 160 of them to the sword; the
others fled to the Church for refuge, and barricadocd the
. gate; but that did not save them : for Tupac coming up with
a body of men, and not caring to force the barricade, ordered
his people to fire the Church; his orders were soon obeyed,
and all the Spaniards except five or fix, perished in the flames.
These five or fix were all who got back alive to Cufeo, out of
300, to tell the fad story of their disaster.
Tupac immediately feat off dispatches to all the Caciques of
hfotieft Account of the ORIGIN of the INSURRECTION
PERU.

the neighbouring provinces, to inform them of what had pas
sed ; to point out to them the grounds he had to hope, that he
ihould be able to shake of the Spanish yoke, if they would fol
low his example, and second his efforts ; and lastly, to entreat
that they would speedily fend him fuccours, to enable him to
withstand the attacks,iwhich he knew the Spaniards would not
fail to make upon his fin'all force. What was the effect pro
duced generally by his letters, among the Caciques, is not
well known in Europe ; all that we could learn with certainty
upon that head was, that a kinsman of Tupac who was the
bearer of the dispatches, was arrested in the province of A'fan
garo, which borders' on that of Tinta: the Cacique of Afan
garo was not to be shaken in his fidelity to the Spaniards; and
therefore he caused the Envoy to be taken up, and sent him,
together with the dispatches he had brought from Tupac, to
the Corregidor of the province. It seems that Tupac, in or
der to encourage the Caciques to make a bold effort to recover
the independence of their country, boalled in Iris dispatches,
that he was at the head of an army of 25,000 men, well dis
ciplined, and well provided with arms, and all kind of military
stores.
The kinsman of Tupac was tried, and condemned to the
fame fate that the rebel Prince had made the poor Corregidor
Ariaga fuller at Tinta, and the sentence was carried into exe
cution without delay. The news of this tranfatfion' filled Tu
pac with rage and indignation; he infently gave orders for
assembling his army, and poured like a torrent intothe pro
vince of Afangaro; devastation marked his footfteps; the coun
try was pillaged, and the houses burnt; blithe was particu
larly careful to demolish the fine house of the Corregidor, who
had condemned his kinsman to death. The Corregidor him
felf had, however, been fortunate enough to escape; though
to do Tupac justice, he had taken very wife precautions to
make himfelf matter of his person; swearing at the ' fame time,
that if ever he should fall into his hands, he ihould be hanged
like his brother Corregidor of Tinta; thus resolving, as he
said, to appease the manes of his relation; by causing a Cor
regidor to be hung on each fide of him.
The Corregidors of Cufeo, Gamba, and Monte-Video, and
some other provinces, and all the Caciques who remained
faithful to Government, made on their fide every effort to
enable the Government to reduce so formidable an enemy.
They muttered an army of 28,000 men, including two com
panies of the regiment of Savoy, and a picquet of dragoons,
sent by the Viceroy of Lima. Even the Bilhop of Cufeo, who
had excommunicated the unfortunate Corregidor of Tinta, for
imprisoning the Priest, made all the Clergy, regular and secu
lar, of his diocese, take up arms; and Don John Emanuel Cam
pero, who happened at the time to be at Lima, undertook to
discipline them. The Friars made a most grotesque figure
underarms: the Capuchines were appointed to serve as grena
diers, probably because they could make frightful whiskers of
their beards; and because, by pulling their capuchins over
their heads, the long peak fucking up behind, might have
suggested the idea of a ludicrous apology for a grenadier's
cap.
The Spaniards pretend that, with this militia, half holy,
half profane, they have been able to difperfe.the troops under
Tupac, to get into their hands his principal relations, and to
force him to retire, with his adherents, to the independent
Indians of the mountains. But the publick will be able to
judge of the probability of this defeat of Tupac, when it is
considered that he hart an ar% nearly equal to that of the
Spaniards; that the little opposition they had met in the pro
vince of Afangarn, had convinced them that they were formi
dable; and, to fay all in a word, they were fighting for liber
ty; and it ihould be remembered also, that in his army Tupac
had a corps of 200 militia who were not Indians.
Tupac is now in the thirty-eighth year of his age, is a bold
enterprising man, with a found underftandiag, and natural
talents, which have been improved by an early education at
Cufeo, in a college founded for the education of the Caciques ;
and there he look out his degree as Doctor of Laws, called
there %rir Utriufaue Deßor. It is said, that in the country to
which the Spaniards pretend they have obliged him to fly, he
has treated the standard of the ancient Incas, his great proge
nitors; and what renders him formidable, are the arms and
train of artillery that fell into his hands, when he put to the
sword, or destroyed by fire, the 300 men that had been sent
against him by the Corregidor of Cufeo. Exchifive of the great
booty he made in provisions, merchandize, &c. he has cairied
off with hinfa large furp of money: in the house of the poor
Corregidor Ariaga he got 50,000 hard dollars, and 40,000
more in the house of the officer who came to impose the
new taxes.
The insurgents in the province of Aaraquipa were too strong
to think of accepting any terms, though Government had of
fered to grant all that they had at firft demanded. The fubje&
of difeontent in that province, was the erection of customs, and
the impertinent behaviour of their officers ; the Commissioners
and other officers having had the presumption and impudence
to insist, that 110 one ihould appear before them, without
taking off his hat and .his cloak, and on the other hand they
had imposed immoderate taxes, and principally on those com
modities, which should have been taxed thcldweft. In the firft
fury of the insurgents, the cuftom-fronfes were destroyed, and
the warehouses broke open ; only 2000 dollars were found;
these were carried off; but the Indians refpeded the mer
chants goods, and did not touch them.
