It is our of the rentlts of did present 'triage), for its-
dependence in Son& America, that we are tweedy's"
much better acquainted oils the history of that vast
country ; which t, at no very distant period, form a
very important part of the habitable globe. Many of
our countrymen, who have been disappointed in their
prospects of reaping riches and honour, in the rause of
South American liberty, hare brought away with them
useful information respecting the country which they
have conausunicoted to the public.
Venezuela ass discovered by Chriatopher Columbia%
during his third voyage, in 14§9. The following year,
.flfonzo Ujeda reconsoitred the lake of 31aracaiba, mid
finding the villages of the natives built on piles, before
the country the name of Venezuela, from its similitude.
to Venire. The firit colony was founded in 1527, and
a second in 1529, by the Weller,, blinkers, at Augs-
burg, to whom l'itarles V. coiled the country, as ao
hereditary lief of the crown of Spain. Their (kneel,-
went, like that of all the colonies that Spain and Porta-
gal founded iu the new world, was marked by exactions
and pillage, murder, rapine, and cruelty ; until, through
the eloquence of Las flans, at the court of Charles, he
resumed the actnal sovereignty of Venezuela, and the•
ferocious agents of the lVelsers were expelled. From
the year 1529, when the Walsers built Coro, to 150, the
country had gained a considerable population, sad nine
towns had berm founded.
Such was the first foundation of a colony which ra-
pidly increased in population and the extent of its
boundaries ; which now extend southward, from St.
Joseph de Rio Negro (where the Portuguese possessions
begin), which is in the first degree of northern latitude,
to Cape de la Vela, in 12 Jeg. ithn. ; said from east to
west, from the tin_ deg. of west longitude, to 75 deg. Mho.
French and hutch Cayenne form its eastern limos, and
the Kingdom of New Oranatia or Santa Fe do Barite
bounds rt on the west. The country is inteesected in
every direction by navigable rivers of various Ages ;
among whi,:h are the Orinoco, and the Apure; iudeed
few countries are so well watered. The population of
the five provisoes of Venezuela, Varinnas, Maracaibo,
Cuwana, and flagon*, in 1:407, amounted to nearly a
million.
In the province of Commis, oxen, horses, mules, and
asses, are very lIRIBVT•US, so much so, that there are
some persons, each of whom poma.,sses a tract of coun-
try of tire or six leagues square, anal is a proprietor of
thirty or forty thousand of them. 'flier, are also thou-
sands of them wild in the forests, which du not belong
to any person.
The horses live there in societies, generally to the
number of five or six hundred. anal even one thonsalil
they occopy immense savannas, where it is datagram,.
to disturb or rry to catch them. In the dry season thilr
are sometimes Obliged to go two or three leagues, ell
