fought between the Royalists and the Patriots, f"
which the Latter %vete victorious; but the Par rs
do not state whether the revolutionary army hsd
entered Caraccas.

who have not cleared their hands from the bloodvf
dreadful Revolution, which produced the downfB

lives, and who, if they were once more to g9lO
