The Supreme Junta of this Capital, which
hat not teased for a moment mingling its
tears with that of alt good men, from the
period it had become acquainted with the
sad events of that city, and who in despair
had almost looked upon as lost, her labors di-'
r< cted chiefly to the salvation of that peo
plennd of the victims devoted to the p<»ig
nard, cannot now help manifesting its grief .o
that generous people, which paid so dearly
for her first steps towards our liberty. Oh !
why should such a distance separate us from
that city ! VVere they dear 03, then would
those rulers of -Quito-tlmse usurpers
of the legitimate authori’y of the people, suf
fer for thetr tenner it) ! A ’housand patriots
today offer-to match to that city, without
pay, remuneration, or any other reward
than to avenge theic brethren. Let Quito
at least in her lamentations receive this
comfort—that all America has risen in arm?,
and join one general cry of vengeance ; for,
ah! its loss U nearly irreparable Saletias,
Morales, Quirnga, how can.we replace you!
The Franklins and Washingtons of
our revolution have not lived o benold its
completion This eternal grief will ever
steal upon the enthusiastic raptures of our
future ielicity And when our descendants
shall repeat the glorious events of our re\o
lution alas ! the recollection of those vene
rablr* names must embitter the exclamati
on I Quito, one day grateful, will erect st.a„
tues to their memory and Aine.ica confess
herself indebted to them for her freedom
Let the generous people be careful of their
descendants, and let the gratitude of a couu
try, cherish the shoots which spring from
their trunks, cut down for y ou by he axe of
tyranny. However in the enthusiastic ex
pressions of our gratitude, let not the Su_
preme Junta be forgetful of the other illus
trious victims of the 12th. Victims wnose
1 names shall be transmuted .o posterity.
Let those chiefly be remembered who were
j when defenceless and in prison, sacrificed
j bv those cowardly assassins, who were not a_
shamed to perpetrate the horrid deed.
Three days solemn mourning the Su
preme Junta decrees as a poor demons’rati
on of the-r grief A subscription shall -be
opened tor the widows and orphans, made so
by the second of Aug ; which shall ever af
ter be an anniversary on which to express
| our gritf. The church shall by solemn rites
purity their remains, including those who
fell at Quito, at Snccoro, and on the plains.

TO THE PEOPLE OF C^UITO.
Inhabitants of Quito l *>
The fatal moment,
so often dreaded by the just and upright,
hath at length arrived, in which the unbri
dled rage of your infamous tyrants was 10
teartht entrails of an inuocent people.
The victims sacrificed to the fury of a
brutal soldiery too well display the wounds of
a bleeding country—and the assassinations of
.your citizens, will be th z bloody man /rear
ried through the proviuces, to arouse a coun
try to vengeance.
Terror and Death have been the measures
resorted to by a cruel and destroying gov
ernment-let TERROR and DEaIH be
too our device. Chains and Dungeons have
been the means they have used to stifle the
groans of humanity, crying tor redress ; let
CH \1NS and DUNGEONS then be the
fate of our oppressors.
Vainlv hath an angel of peace, borne on the
wings o! desire from Europe, pouted balsam
into your wounds. Tyran s, dways haughty,
always insensible, ore gratified with a cow
ardly triumph. They call themselves peace
ahfe; they are peaceable es the tyger, with
talons still dripping with the blOod of your
brethren. Unhappy people ! your mrstor
tunes have ni eased thtr mild nature of Amer
icans, and the consuming fire of vengeance
now circulates in their veins. Raise your
humb ed heads ; throw off your Sackcloth
.and Asltes : behold the first heroes ot our
j liberty extended in the dust ; victims to the
j ferocious monsters whom hell has disgorged
j for our dv3.ruction ! Behold the streets !
I they are covered with the carcases of your
[friends : your wives disgraced ; yourchil
‘diets butchered ! Behold with shame the
prostrated dignities ot the man whom you
invested wrh so many honors the last year.
IA-whole country flies to your aid. it burns
with the fire of liberty. Heroes spring up
in our stree s. and already a tyrant exists
n .t in the north of cur continent. The bloo
;dy names of a Morales, a Qttirnga, and a
Salinas, point to their wounds and “cry a.
loud for vengeance !** Let us avenge onrl
[selves. May the polluted bio id of those who
|precipitated them to the tomb glut the
sod, stained with their cruelties rtnd
'crimes !

Th* choice of Bernndotte is a sufficient
hint to the king of Denmark and, the- cmpe
ror of Russia, and each will firvdotiht spce
dily receive the recainpence of his subservi
ency to Bonaparte/ it now app'-ars that
Bonaparte was anrious tt> have 'he former
take a step, which he knew could not suc
ceed. anti which would be productive of
no other consequences than that of shew
ing -to the king how much he was dislik
ed by the Swedes, anti injuring him even
in the opinion of his own subjects, on account
of qis having offered to make titockMrti the
capital of die United Kingdoms. The cm
perorof Russia will not see in this choice
any thing fivorabb to his interests. Quite
the contrary. Already it is said ihat Fin
land will he restored fo Sweden. Bonaparte
will advite it, and his brother Alexander is
too much attached to " Bonaparte's svstem
in peace and war” to refuse taking his ad |
vice. The object of Bonaparte no doubt js
to make himself, and his agent Rernadoite,
masters of the Baltic. D/nm nk. dwindles
to nothing on the selection of B rnadot'e.—
All he coast on the southern bank of the
Baltic, from Lubeck to Riga, wi.l he- seized
by Bonaparte, there being little doubt, wc
think, '-f his intentions with respect to lVm
sia. He will enlarge the territoriesof Swe
den; and Finland, and wc doubt not N„r
way will lie added to the Swedish throne.
What then will Russia be ? Nothing more
than a second rate naval power in ihe Ril
tic. If any ooe wished for a triumph over
