Signed on p. [3]: José Villamil.

The Republic of Gran Colombia lasted from 1819-1831 and encompassed the present day countries of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela, and parts of northern Peru, western Guyana, and northwest Brazil. Simón Bolívar served as its first president from 1819-1830 from the capital in Bogotá. It dissolved in November of 1831 due to the political differences and tensions among the peoples of the different present day countries, which made up the republic.

José Villamil was a military man who fought with Simón Bolívar during the South American wars of independence and was active in freeing Guayaquil from the Spanish. Here he denounces hostile acts committed by Spanish frigates in the Pacific against the schooner Olmedo and others ships.
