SOUTH AMERICAN PAPERS.

Account of the attack made by the Carthagenians
on the troops of Santa Martha, on the 10th and 11th
of May. 1813 :
41 About two o'clock in the afternoon of the 10th,
seven ye,sels made their appearance off thisharbour,
consisting of a brig of war and six armed schooners,
with Spanish colours flying, as if they intended to
enter the port ;, but upon a signal being made from
the brig, they all bore away for Cal Point, and froth
thence passed to the city called Fetrois. This move-
ment put the whole town in motion to ascertain
clearly their intentions, and at the same time orders
were sent to tie Cienwns to be.upon the alert. The
inhabitants of the vicinity were collected together,
and the Governor determined to send out two corn-
parties with two field pieces, and the Indians, to place
them in Gayna, and Dubina. About five o'clock in
the afternoon, 150 men, withiane field piece, were
disembarked, and completely defeated by the troops
of Cieneßa and those of Gayna, under the comthand
of Miguel Gomez. Fifty remained dead on the field,
and some priioners and the cannon remained in our
possession.

,
6‘ At this period three of their vessels approached
the shore, and opened an instant fire upon the road,
where they supp.ised the troops were stationed, and
under cover of this fire, on the following day,. about
ten o'clock, they efeeted a second disembarkation in
very considerable numbers. A severe engagement
ensued between them, and the troops of Cienega, un-
der the command of Nancisco 'Crespo, but the ene-
my's force being much superior to ours, we were
obliged to retreat about one o'clock in the day.
44 The dismay occasioned by this movement in thq
'town was very great, since they considered the battle
as lo—st. At this moment, however, Prabaw, Com-
mandant without the barrier, had been applied to for
his assistance, he was met with already on the road,
with an IS-pounder that had been brought out for
the purpose cf annoying the enemy's vessels on the
coat, and hastening his arrival at the Savannah, he
ordered the generale to be beaten. Great number, of
persons were soon collected, aad taking six field-
pieces, he posted the whole in a position to command
the'pass by wh:c:i the enemy hail to advance. He
then divided the troops into foudivisions; that of

went to the town-hall, where he had assembled the
Municipal Corps, the Council of Prefecture, Mem-
bers of the Chamber of Commerce, Ministers of the
different religions, and the mast respectable inhabi-
tants. The Governor, alter havieg spoken of the
emportent circumstances in which we now are, ad-
dressed a discourse to the Assembly, in which, after
having contrasted the odious revolt of the inhabitants
of Hamburgh with the clemency the Emperor had
shewn towards them, added, that he hoped that par-
alms which they could not have expected, would, in
.Inure, produce sentiments more compatible with
heir real interests, and that submission which sub-
j;...cts owe to their legitimate Sovereign ; that he
%visited to believe .that all the functionaries and re-
spectable people would use their influence to props
gate and support those sentiments among the people;
and that the Ecclesiastics, in particular, would preach
this dcctrine in their temples.
The Governor concluded thus : " The preservation
of this place is confided to me—l will answer for it
ei the Emperor : I will justify the choice with which
his M.ijesty has deigned to honour me : I will render
ustice—exact justice to all the inhabitants who shall
crefer well-founded compianits to me; but woe to
se who shall contravene my orders—they shall be
.rrested and punished with ail the rigour of military
regulations."
The assembly appeared to be penetrated with this.
iisceurse ; it saw the determined intention of the
Governor to maintain public tranquillity in the town,
and all those present promised to neglect nothing,
that the Governer might rind in the Hamburghers
chat submission, without which there exists nu gua-
rantee against disorder and anarchy.
