TO Bmigrants IN Foreign Countries.
Fellow Citizens.
The majestic and powerful United States
of Buenos Ayres and Chill, deslrous to CO.
operate so far as lies In their power, 10 the
emancipation of their enslayed brethren,
have commissioned me to fulfil this noble
enterprise upon New Grenada-blessed be
Heaven, thai has Inspired such msgnanim
Gus sentiments and may The union, and dis
Greet conduct of those Cove rnmenls, form
the polar star of our future hopes.
Friends IN Pilgrimage and svlthouFa country!
| direct myself TO you, apprising you Of
the liberal and philanlhropic efforts Of the
two Republics, who loan US their credit,
and all that influence acquired during their
passed and recent achievements inCoepo-
rate yourselves, at once, entreat you, a.
mong The valient lsgions at my command,
employed IN this great and portentlous work.
Hasten without delay to enlist yourselves
under inc protection of these sacred stand
ards, the terror OF tyrants both on sea and
land. 1t The glory OF our beloved country,
and personal interests, impose upon Us the
uneqaiyocal obligation OF prosecuting our
mplacable enemies, the cries Of afflicted
humanity demand our aid to terminate the
age of bafbarlsm that hangs suspended over
innocence. Men born to be free daily
make frnitless attempts TO recover the ines
Unable privileges which they lost IN %
and, destitute of Naval protection and war
like munitions, only encounter death as the
reward Of their heroic sxertions-and the
guarantee of the August Republics, our
projectors, has supplied US with the neces-
sary elements 10 realize the plan We pro-
pose.
Comhatriots May noble enthusiasm
animate you all, and may every thing tend
to attain The independence and precious lib
cries which We contend for, or death hon
orabe to the sons of Columbia.
Brave Strangers - Who, by your polit
ical sentiments, or from other motives, have
entered the Torrid Zone, adorned with the
virtues peculiar TO the man OF honor-hock
brethren to our standards, come and enjoy
both that civil and religious liberty, which
the fanatacism and cruelty of Gespols exlor-
ted from you, ensure you the gratitude OF
my Compatriots with whom, connected in
sweet intercourse, you shall partaAe of all
the advantages which our delightful and
rich soil promises.
TO The Commanders Of The Merican yes
sells Of q0sr, SnH crutzing an these seas, and
as yet haze not arrived in shss fort II deem
it sufficient TO address you this Circular, 10
invigorate your zeal for the cause you have
espoused, and the subordinatisn you owe
me and which, from respect, requires
your speedy Recommendation in this point !;
but if there be any one amongst you, who,
influenced by vile interest, should wish 10
depart from his duty, of which anew &C
quaint you, in conformity to the pleasure of
the Supreme Authorities represent. be j,
known to you, that the most rigorous meas
ures will be adopted against those who
should not have presented themselves in
this Island, within the precise term OF two
months.
