Such have been the principles which d.
rccted the conduct of the neighbours Of Carac-
cas- the 10th ApriIwhen by an equal and simul-
t.neous Impulse they were all heard calling
cut for a government that should watch over
their security and tranquility twenty four
hours have been sufficient to form this, abol-
ash the old government and consolidate the
new one, without having been noticed---hav-
ing not more than one opinion, nor having

which the mob gets to commit all kinds Of
disorders under prctence OF the general well
fare, which the sensible and enlightened class
