Tue negotiations arrived II America, tho arms
tlce had been violated and hostiliiies resumed
The Europeans who had composed the army at
It's first tebarkaon were nearly all dead, and the
regular forces were composed principally of Ne
grocs and hluattoes, and with these forces Mo-
raleS, the Commander, declared and enforced
blockade of the whole coast in order 10 restrict
the supplies of the Patriots.
But the Patriots were not ONLY more numerous
but were harder men, accustomed TO bear f..
tgue, and harrassed the Spaniards excet dinulv
until the 9th Of June, 1921. The Royallsts under
the command Of Morales and Dc la Tore. were
well nigh annihilated by Psez, the negro chief
tam, and Bolivar, at place near Valencia The
RoyalSts, in consequence of this victory, were &c
siricted to the City Of Laguaira, and before long
forced to capitulate and abandon the CITY,
Gen. Morales prolonged the war by his activity
for long time, and though Ferdinand had been
made again absolute by foreign assistance he
could send no troops TO America, and Morales
was gradually restricted more and more AT
length, on the 9Th of Nov. 1923, by the assistance
of the Colombian Navy under Aury, Porto Ca.
belo was surrendered to Paez, and the Spaniard
had no longer a strong hold in Colombia.
UNION OF VENEZUELA. PERU AND QUITO.
Bolivar having triumphed at home resolved to
extend the blessings Of Independence to the neigh
boring States Of Quito and Peru. To effect this
an expedition under Gen. Sucre, in 1922 marched
into Quito, and engaged repeatedly the forces of
President Sumano. The result however, was
undecided, so that Bolivar himself was forced TO
lead reinforcements into the country. BY him
and after the battle of Pichnchon evacuated tho
City of Quito. The Republicans, after short
delay in Quito marched into Upper Peru, dis
trict belonging to the Vice Kingdom Of La Plata.
This movement was made by Sucre. Bolivar
marched into the country beyond the Andes and
fixed his head quarters at Gsaynquil.
Chill, OF which as yet VIC have but rarely men,
toned, had despatched naval force under the
British Peer Lord Cochrane with military ar
mament, commanded by San Martin, which had
fixed itself at the little port Of Psco about eight
lcsgues from Lima. While there they had the
proud satisfaction of rejecting overtures for ac-
commodalion urgently made them by the Vice
King Pezuela. The people, too, caught the en-
,husiasm and Guayaquil and other large places
declared in favor of the Republicans.
But, during all this time, Though SUCCESS
smiled on him, and in a country rich in the pre-
cious ores, Bolivar and the Chians stood in need
Of the nccessarics of life, and from one who par
tcipated in all tho stirring scenes of that cam
paign, VIC have learned that tho wild yet resist
les, cavalry which carried dsmay into the veto
ran Spanish regiments were Creoles, without
uniform, arms, and frequently without clothing,
except the rude ponolto blanket of the country.
1t is one of the lamentable facts incident to hu
man nature, of which more than one striking
example can be adduced, that those who dare the
most physically can bear the least morally, and
from this fact alone we can account for the fact
that troops who in war had so distinguished
themselves, in peaceful days could subsde into
pusillanimous sluggards.
In 1921, The officers Of the Spanish army de-
posed Fezuela and appointed La Serna Vice
King. The latter 4 partisan Of the Cons,i.
tuition which P.zuela had always opposed. The
change had no influence on the contest, and the
Spaniards still continued to act on the defensive
The Vice King left Lima on the 9Th July, 1921,
and the city was Immediately occupied by San
Martina, who proclaimed himself Supreme Pro-
tcclor of Peru. To judge from the acts Of this
gentleman, his feeling for Republicanism could
not have been very strong, as in addition to all
the usual acts Of Il sovereign Prince, he immc
diately began TO Issue patents Of nobility and ID
establish chigalric orders. Lord Cochrane left
to his Spanish coadjutor the glory and took the
treasures Of the people his share, and, unless
beied, carried away no small portion of them.
The Vice King fixed himself at Cuzco, the ole
capital Of the Incas, leaving forces near the
Pacific, who contcnted themselves with keeping
up the war by mere demonstrations upon Lima
and Guayaquil. In the interim Bolivar had sue
cceded in Quito, and, marching toward Peru, in
vited San Martin to conference at Gueyaquil
OF this we know but the consequences, which
were the union of Quito, Guayaquil and Colon
bia, and promise to employ all their means in
the liberation Of Peru. Soon after, San MARITIME
laid down his Protectorate and retired to Chill
and Lord Cochrane entered the service Of Brazil
Something like Government was now estab
lishcd, and portion Of Bolivar's Army, though
once defeated by the Spanish Generals Canterac
and Valdes, and, in spite of many drawn battles
acquired virtual possession of the country, and
appointed to the Executive power By the Peru
vians, succeeded in restoring confidence and sta
bility to the country. In Upper Peru, which
belonged, it may be recollected, to La Plata
Sucre discovered equal ability. The united ser
vices of these two men may be said to have
secured the independence Of the country.
But the conquest still continued until 1923
when the Vice King, La Serna, proposed to tbs two
Chiefs to unite with him in establishing in PERI
an Independent and Constitutional Monarchy
and in calling some Prince of the blood Royal o.
Spain 10 the Throne. This at least is the report
