A poli-icat change, which being character -
ised by both peace and unanimity, does hon
m- to the cause of humanity in general and
tile pc. pie of Caraccas in particular, has a_
verted trout them those evils wi Ji which they"
were threatened, by keeping them from the
edge of that precipice wherein they were
lobe plunged by the despotism of their an_
cient cliiefs, :t *d%the strung.'* presumpti
on of that new illegitimate tribunal of re
gency which the said chiefs wauled to be re
cognized.
I'he department of Venezuela must then
improve upon the unanimous and energetic
commotion wherewith the worthy people of
its metropolis have regained their ngnts
without dissolving tlte gener.il connexion
ilmi unites '-hem totite mother country ,-oixl
the beloved king whose liberty is most anxi
ously wished for. The provincial govern,
inent . erein established, while the lawiui
national representation is convening is fully
conscious of the justice of its conduct, arid
believes that the people will not think it
sttange, it, in considei at ion of its immense
business, some days will elapse before the
detailed manifesto of the principles that
lead to it is published Meanwhile it is
proper generally to state, that the
resolution taken by die people of Caraccas
was unavoidable O.d Spain being, since
1 cIk nun last, overt u;i and taken possession
ol by the French, excepting Galbcia Valen
cia and part of Catalonia, the cent v lg »vern
rnent the sole link ol the nation, fl.ing from
the enemy and justly proscribed by the
natives, has been hnallv dissolved in Cad z
and ftom its temains sprung another umlit
the denomination of a ltegeiicy. Thi* Sef
created government, unauthorised .0 its ti
ties, w ithout the national sanction a hereby it
could be legitimate, and destitute of both re
sources and strengiii, insulated within Cadiz
which is actually surrounded by the enemy
notwithstanding, proclaims in a sovereign1
tone its decrees giving orders to both Woi Ids,
is an illegal and imperfect g >verom< nt,
which tends to reduce tlie whole Spanish t.a
lion to live individuals and tne extensive
posvessio,,s to her belonging, in b„li tlieO d
ami New World, witinn the narrow limits f
Cadiz ; a government, fi.iaby so weak and
little respected as not to be completely ac
know 1 edged even in the small city to which
it is circumscribed.
Such 13 the situation of Spain, viewed by
us With deep snnow, and the same si-uat.
°n, as welt as the interior irng laritics i
which under that pretext the chiels of tne
Country endeavored '>0 promote, have plain
ly shewn the principles of their Conduct. I
Caraccas has been the first, that solemnly
pi onounced this 1 esolution and swore to sup
port it without dissolving he ties of fr 1 er
nity, which unite 11 so closely o our F.u.,,
pean brttiiren ; with the fi. m duter ninatio i
of acknowledging no othei sovereign bu Fer
dinand the Vll. we have sworn by the m ints
of those same victims immola ed by Fl ench
barbarity, to defend our liberty in defiance
of whoever may conapi.e ag li’iisi it.
The department uf Vein zu la attracts
now tlie fixed attention ut Europe and ihei

and therefore requires equal efforts. h j*
necessary that the citizen should now devote
himself entirely to his native c mnrry, and
effectually prove that the protestations <d
Ins love so in iny times displayed, are truly
sincere and correspond to the Iceiings ot hi,
heart, 1 hat Holy L, berty of which we have
shewn ourselves so conspicuously Worthy,
requires to be maintained at the expeuee
of our wealth, services and even blood.
it is necessary to know tliis, our country anti
liberty, in order to love and support'both
with generous sacrifices. The ignorance and
depravity of our gm eminent, funned an idea
quit.. Vilg.ie and erroneous of the.^e previous
objects, which, after God. are the primum
mobile of our happiness.
H) our country it is not meant the king
the government or the const! ution. These
aie nothing more than inodifieati .us of her
existence. It is the Congregation of men
living under an unitnrm government, subject
to the same laws and f .llowing the same u
sages and customs l’lie sp .t on which we
are born, the riches which we possess in it,
are not precisely the same country, but die
easy mid peaceful means of subsist! ,g in this
congregation that Constiui «s it. Our c um
try then is one whole-ttach citizen is an
integral part of it, and as such he becomes
criminal by even supposing himself lor one
m antnt separated then li om. An honest
m'an is not to tear other loss, nor wish for a .y
