I" Proclamation Of Gen. Urdane!a, to his fello,o
,ccr-iors on utc hrasion Of Coro.
Soldiers-The city of Coro, which you
are about to occupy, is one of those which
form the department of Venezuela in the vast
Republic of Columbia. This place, which
has hitherto faithfully served the agents of tv-
ranny, is already evacuated, and at the discre-
ton of our arms. The Spanish rulers, in re-
ward for their momentous services, have seal
ed the wretchcdness of the inhabitants of Co
70, by undermining the powder house, which
IN ITS explosion, has carried away numhcress
edifices. and dealt destruction among their in
nocent inmates.
Soldiers The inhabitants of Coro are
our brethren, we must dry up their tears il
is your conduct which must eiface the imputa-
tons left upon your names by the foe in their
light Let every sentiment of vengeance be
converted into that of friendship, and cast of
the remembrance of the keen pangs which this
city has inflicted on the republic: let the peo-
pie of Coro receive from you the sweet and
cordial treatment which they ought to have
enjoyed under their late master.
SOtd,erS-Plunder and all other species OF
vexation to the inhabitants, are forcibly pro-
hibited; no individual of the division possess
es the right oftaking another's property. Who
soever is guilty of this trespass, in violation OF
this article, and of the general proclamations
to the army, snail be punished with the great
est severity. RAFAEL URDANETA,"
