PROCLAMATION.
SoldierS!-The standards of liberty already wave
upon the lofty rarnparts of Calloa, and tie proud and
arrogant General of the peninsula who commanded
them finds his pride humbCd, and is forced 10 bow be-
fore the valiant soldiers of the army commanded by the
illustrous General SALON.
Soliers!--Already the children of the sun breathe
the pure air of freedom-already has the army of Co
ombia fulfilled the promises made by the Iiberaor in
It's name, and who will be found dou bt the pro-
misses of our Generai:-Who can now imagine that the
soldiers OF the army would return their country eav
ing behind them one enemy 10 conquer-one Spaniard
to cxpel?
SoidierS!-You about to see those heroes who
have gained for themselves immortal honors-For the
army trophies and unfadne oores and for their coun-
try faithful allies and grateful frends-You owe them
every consideration, friendship sincerity and Veneration
Embrace them, and say to them, "ConradeS, you
have been more fortunate than we--vou have ALWAYS
had an enemy TO seelz-you have always found him
you have always conquered him. Our prayers have at
tended you IN every siluation-and knowing that you
were lead by father, by BOLIVAR, we never
doubted of your gIory-Come, come, and enjoy the
recompense OF your riumphs IN the of Your bro
theirs, fathers and wves.n
