BY THE SUPREME JUNTA
OF SANTA FE DE BoGATA.

The Supreme Junla of this capital, whic b
has not ceased Tor moment mingilng Its
tears with that of all coed men, from the
period it had become acquainted with the
sad events of that city, and who in DIES pair
had almost looked upon as lost, her labors
directed chiefly TO the salvation Ut that peo-
pie and OF the victims devoted1o the poiS-
nard, cannot now help manifestng its grlrf
10 that generous people, which paid so dear
~ for their FIRST steps towards our liberty.
Oh /! why should such distance separate
us from that city Were they near Us, then
would those rulers of Quito-those nsurp-
ers ct the legitimate authority Of the peo-
pie, suffer fer their ,emerly! A thousand
patriots# to-day offer to march to that CITY,
without pay, remuneration, or airy other
reward than TO avcugc their brethren. Let
Quito a. least in her lamentations receive
this comfor,-,hat all America has risen in
arms, and Join in one general cry OF ven
geance for, ah its loss is nearly irrepar-
allie. Salenas, Morales, Quiroga, how can
we replace you The FRANKLINs & WASH
1NGToNs of our revolution have not lived
10 behold its completion. This eternal grief
will ever steal upon the enthusiastic rsp,ules
Of our future felicity: And when our de-
scendants shall repeat the glorious events OF
our rev oluIion, alas the recollection Of
those venerable names must embitter the
exclamation! Quito, one day grateful, will
erect statues to their memory, and America
confess herself indebted TO them for her
freedom. Let the generous people be care
ful O! their descendants, and let the graft
tude Of country cherish the shoots which
spring from their trunks cut down Tor you
by the axe of tyranny. However, in the
enthusiastic expressions of our gratitude,
let not the Supreme Jun,a be fnrgetiul of
the other illustrous victims Of the 18th
Victims whose names shall be transmitted
TO posteri,y. lie: those chiefly be remrm
bered who were when detenCeess and in
prison, sacrificed by those cowardIy assas,
sins, who were not ashamed to pei petrate
the horrid deed.
Three days solemn mourning the Supreme
}unta DEGREES as poor demonstration OF
their grief. A subscription shall be opened
the second of August which shall ever
after be an anniversary, on which to express
our grief. The church shall oy solemn
rites purify their remains, including those
who fell at Quito, at Soccoro, and on the
plains. God preserve your exceliency.

have to mention Ethat a dreadful scene
of blood has taken place az Quito: This
province, being much oppressed, tried last
year what Caracas effected in the present,
but the neighboring provinces not being
ripe yet to Join them, they were induced
again to acknowledge tie authority of the
vice king of Santa Fe, who had not only
promised them to forget their opposition,
but also that they should retain a provincial
jun,a. But the vice king, again renssated,
kept no promise, had them all imprisoned
and many condemned to death. On the I'd
August some of the prisoners rose against
their guards bloody conflict ensued-a
battalion of troops from Lima, which had
been at Quito since last year, was let loose
upon the people. and they have murdered,
