RUt. v
“Jt is a surprising fact that even the A_
rfirricsn People know but little of George
Washington. They lmve indeed heard a
^^ai deal of his Public Life; of his Mili
tary Character, and Political Talents, but
hardly any thing of his private Jaie and
Virtues.
“ Many intelligent persons hare ardent,,
ly wished to see a account of these,
nm only ns a debt of gratitude to
as a fine example to out chi. en.
“The Author has performed this task
in a very satisfactory n.wnner. liis Anec

deral Gazette.
By the gavet nment of Cnrthagena.
The supreme junta of this city, which
has been employed the whole of this
day, on the communications received
by express from the Supreme Junta of
San?a Fee; anxiously wishing, that the
noble an ! well affected inhabitants of
this province should have immediate
inlormution, ot the fatal events which
have taken place in the ci*y of Quito,
and in order to inspire them with all
that iudignation and pity, which must
alternately affect every mind over
whom nature or humanity holds rule,
have determined to publish the follow
ing document*, in which the horrid
barbarities are detailed.
From the Government of Santa Fee*

Santa Fee. Bui they shed the blood of
jour Brethren in Pore; the streets of
the town of Soc r o were made Hoc.
d\ and the citizens of Quito were
victims to their iniquity. Hoar dread
ful are th»* expir.ng struggles of ago
n’zing tyranny !* The noble city of
Quito hath been wifn as to its last ef
forts. They saw th ir dtarcat s «ns,
without opposition buried in the duu
geons; they saw them butchered re
morselessly in the streets. The rela
tion of these events in the following
documents, will cause this too feeling
city to shudder at the atrocities of the
2d of August. But this is Salu
tary ; it is necessary to imprint on the
hearts of Americans a detestation of
Tyranny.
While the noble exert ions of the ci
ty of Carthagena are exhibiting warn
ings, to let slip no oppor’uniiy of con
tributing to the public safety, we are
vainly contented with venting our
selves in acclamations rf praise. One
, mean of safety requisite, as well on ac
count of the heniousoess of the crimes
perpetrated by the executive of the old
government as because it is the only
reprisal we have ag inv the President
|of Quito, :o prevent the continuance
j of his hostile acts, lies in securing a
hostages the persona of D<-n Antonio
Atrar, D n Francises Hertra, Don
Joachim Carrion, Don Manuel Man

pleased to sec imprisoned without *uv
communication whatever allowed with
them ; sequesiring whatever property
they may have in the province, ai d
holding them amenable to thejuig
ment of this government, which will
reciprocally oe uounu iu suiy nicabiirts i
ynui excellency may adopt, in proof of
the confraternity for the public good ;
in which we hold onrselvet allied witn

and taking possession ol their arms,
chothe themselves in the dresses of the -
shin—then running to the barracks,
attack the guard, who were but few,
(being the dinner hour) are killed j
, they seize upon their arms, and in a
Ismail space of time enter the interior,
where th.-y killed captain Liitiero,
Don Nicolas Galup, and Don Joaquin
j Villaspcsa, captain of the battalion,
and many of the soldiers. But ns
these brave youths w’eie not second
ed, they were at length overcome and
, killed. Thus the undertaking remain- .
ed unaccomplished. The order had
previously been given for the executi
on of every prisoner without excepti
on, and indeed wrap- affected on twen- ;
tjr; among whom'tjirere, Don Juan $a

troles immediately sallying forth, com
posed of the L.ime/dan soldiers, on
horse and foot, put to death every

In this confusion, the Bishops and

give notice that as the said prisoners
were the origin of this disorder, they
should be pursued with every exertion
to bri; g them to j stice. The people,
however, continuing the cry “ to arms !
to arms !” and the country for 5 miles

thought prop; r to form a Junta of the
Ecclesiastical and Secular Cabildos,
with ti e assistance of his Excellency

to Lima. But <his last order was not
complied with ; for on the following day
the troops were still combating the
