NEW KINGDOM OF GRENADA.
Trenja, July 31.
l his city, following the general wish and
sentiment of the people to preserve its le_
gal representation and confidence in the Go
vernors, has erected a Provincial Junta of go !
vemment, in terms dictated by prudence, \
according to its local circumstances. On
the 26th, a public council was held at the
request of its proctor general, and therein
the installation of the said Jtuita was resolv_
ed upon, which tvas alter wards dour, com.. |

PAMPLONA.
! ft *s an incontestlble truth, in the actual
revolution of this kingdom, however much
miserable egotists may affect to deny it, that
the wishes of the people preceded the dif
ft rent changes the government underwent.
The spirit seeuird to he inspired, of union,
uniformity of sentiment, and conformity in
measures so analogous to those which havu
been adopted by the Provinces, from which
we have received official information of their
having already considered the character
they ought to sustain in the present state of
things At such immense distances from
one another, they performed the prodigy of
erecting the same system of government,
which may preserve the. representation anti
confidence of the people, with the same i_
deas of uniting in a common centre the ie- '
gal representation, and even with the same
names and style. Not only Santa Fe, Car. j
thagena, El. Socorro, Santa Martha, and
Tunja, have installed their respective jus„ I
tas of Government, but the same thing has
been done in the illustrious city of Pamplona, i
On the 4th of July last, through the general '
wi3h and impulse of the people ot Pamplona, j
which, although surrounded on all sides by j
unavoidable embarrassments opposed to it
by the most cunning and perfidious poliev, )
never wbu'cl have been terrified bv the arms i
ot the creel oppressor of America, its in.1
stallation would have beer, celebrated ; but
prudence which caused the bravery of the
pe. pie 'o be restrained on this occasion, de
layed that act till a better opportunity_
In this skua linn was the citv «.f Pamplona,
when the events of the ciiv of Soc .rro came
to its knowledge; that city was one of the
first supporters which was prepared to re
sist all foreign aggression, and if necessary
to attack the enemies of American Liber
ty.
Animated every moment by the neighbor,
ing places, at length on the Jlst ot July, at
6 o'clock in the evening, it was about to e
rect the only body which could save it, when
a great portion of the people being collect
ed in the hall destined for that purpose, an
exp ess was received, which communicated
the nt ws ot what had taken place at Santa
Fe. Then, without opposition, wi.hout vio_
l Icnce, m Innumerable concourse of people,
of. very rl .ss and denomination, being col
ler*. d together th?r Congress was install
e.i >n the presence of the respectable image
o* OU. Jegitimate sovereign. It was ncknow
ledg. dby the corps, chiefs and officers of
battalion of militia, and the most submissive
obedience was sworn to it. • Thus the pro.
vince of Pamplona has succeeded in giving
itself a paternal and just government, which,
bv watching over its interests, may preserve
to the citizens their liberty against the n.
buses of arbitrary power. Our gnverfimeiu
Iisb received the most satisfactory offers of
fraternity, union and alliance, which ought
to draw more closely together, if possible,
the indissoluble bands which unite us with
that province for our happiness and mutual
inpport.
