CARACCAS GAZETTEP.

CARACCAS, Jinn 2.—The generous provin^e of
Barinas, which in loyalty 'and 'patriotisr, a‘.l.noiv-
lelges no superior, has learnt through v.O chan-
nels the great events which occurred in the Capital
on the 19th of April and the following days, the
causes of which have been explained in a public Ma-
nifesto. In this situation of things, the said prOvince,
jealous of her political dignity, and anxious for una-
nimity with her neighbours, has determined to form
a Junta, and to'reassume those rights and that autho-
rity which belong to her. Peace and trap:lol4y are
oar wish, and to die or to be free our motto. The pre-
uation of our country, the d. fence of our legiii.
mate and innocent Sovereign, and of the hnlv reli-
LTion we prfess, are our objects, as your Excellencies
will discov,n• by the explanations which accompany
this Address. •We believe that the province of Carac-
cas, the first in rank of those of Venezuela, proposes to
do what is honourable, and will never depart from
th it justice which is necessary to fulfil the. stibiinie
purposes it contemplates. Convinced then of the
truths it has declared under the int.vt ruption to the
intelligence of the parent State, anct impelled by a
variety of other circumstancec; Bariitas, whiet forme
the centre of this district, will embrace its c.tuse, in
order that by concord and eternal alliance its chil-
dren may be rendered happy, and our brethren in Eu-
rope may derive assistance from us, if the 5:.. nish
Nation should bend beneath the yoke of Napoleon.
Governed by these principles, the province of Mt-
rinas submit to your Excellencies 'this 'led 'ration, re.
questing from you that answer which a good and vir-
tuous purpose will naturally dictate to a people whose
interests are the same with our own, and which
ought to bear the same common relations,

To the Illustrious Junta and Government of the

volution, and it is hoped that this Ctiuncil will co-
operate with the laudable and important designs of
the Supreme Junta, since by a general vote of the
people, and by the consent of *the ancient authorities,
there has been connected with it the direction of the
different branches of the public administration. With
these views, and on mature reflection of all that has
passed, and anxiotii to deliver ourselves from the
anarchy that threatens us, we recognise with pleasure
the sentiments expressed in your dispatch of the 7th
May, which discloses a liberality of opinion worthy
a free people. We concur in your wishes to preserve
our Religion, our Country, and our King, and we
offer to join in the union, alliance; and friendship you
have proposed, &c. Goo preserve you many years, &c.
