SOUTHItE RICA
We undersfind from private letters received yester-
day, that the Independents were in hourly expectation
of coming to action with the Royalists ; the troops of
the former are represented to be in high health and
spirits and eager for the attack. The following letter
which we have been favoured with contains a circum-
stantial account of the capture and imprisonment of
Colonel Uslar. and shows the manner in which the
Spaniards treat their prisoners.
Barium, April 8. 1911.
SlR—Understanding that Tar: ins reports have been
circulated respecting the manner in which I was taken
prisoner on the coast of South America. by the
Spaniards, and the treatment I experienced, while in
the power of those sanguinary despots, the following
is a correct statement.
In the mouth of October. 1819, being quartered
with my Regiment in the town of Matadi', in the
Province of Cumana, and head quarters of the Patriot
army of the E.tst, commanded by General Marino, I
received orders to proceed to the Island of Margarita,
to take command of the Irish Legion, which had
landed a few months previous front Ireland, and to
cut.duct them to the Main, to form a junction with
all the other foreign troops. then composing a part of
General Marino's army. On the Ist of November I
commenced my journey to the coast, attended by two
servants and a guide. The country between Maturin
and the coast is extremely mountainous, and was
then infested by numerous parties of Spanish gueril-
las, to avoid which I was obliged to travel by the
most unfrequented paths, and on foot. Under these
circumstances, few officers would have undertaken
such a service. After a joaraey of several days, of
rather nignts, being under the necessity of conceal-
ing myself during the day, in which 1 suffered ex-
treme fatigue. 1 at length arrived at the coast, but
found myself much to leeward of Margarita. I pro-
ceeded some distance along the beach in hopes of
finding some vessel to carry me across the channel,
which separates the Island from the Main, and at
length discovered a canoe with two paddles concealed
among the bushes. This I immediately entered with
any servants and guide, hoping to reach the opposite
shore, but in this I was disappointed, for l had not
gooe far when I observed a large Spanish gun-boat
in sight, bearing down on us, using every possible ex-
ertion. She, as 1 afterwards found, carried 40 men,
well armed, and a long eighteen pounder on a tra-
verse. I attempted to fly, but flight was impossible,
and as a last resource I threw myself into the
sea, hoping to reach the shore or be drowned. 1
was not long in the water when I received two
lases wounds in my body, and was dragged on
beard the gun-heat, and instantly stripped off all my
clothes. One of oty somata becalm a victim to their
