Captain General of the Armtet of

“V R £ ZpL ANIA NS Til i* 18 the
period of the republic. The im
mortal island of Margarita, head
ed'by the intrepid general Arif,
mendi, has again proclaimed the
independent government of Ven
eznela, and has fopported it with
the moft exalted valor, againfi all
the power of Spain.
The remnant of our forces, dis
perfed by the fall of Carthagena
reunited in Hayti. With them
and with the auxiliaries of our
•magnanimous admiral Brion, we
art formi lg an expedition, which
from its elements frems destined
to terminate forever the dominion
of the tyrants over our patriot land. -
Vhni'.zolanians !—Your bro
thers and your foreign friends do
not torne with a view of conquer
ing you! their defzgtt is to ‘fight
for your liberty, to place you in a
situation to re-establish the repub
lic upon the rnoll solid foundation.
The congress of V nezuela will be
inflailed anew, when it may be
vour u ifh. As the people of inde
pendence have done me the honor
to entroft me with the fupretne au
tliority, 1 authorize you to name
your deputies to the congn fs with
out further convocation than the
present, confiding to them the
fame fov t reign powers as at the
hid epoch of the republic.
I have not come to dictate laws
to you, but 1 beseech you to hear *
my voice—l recommend to you
uoirv of government, and absolute
liberty that you may not repeat
the com mi {ft on of an absurdity and
crime, fine* we cannot at the fame
time be freemen and {laves. If
you form but one mnfs of people,
ii you establish a central govern
ment, if you unite with us- j
roiv upon victory.
Spaniards, inhabit Venez
uela, the war of dodrudion (had
cease if yon but fay the word —if
not, we Orall exercise just reprital,
and you will be exterminated.
Vi Nrzoi.ANiAts's !—Fear not
tht fwtrd of your deliverers ; you
she always innocent in the eyes of
your brethren.

In compliance with this Teqtteft, the
P> fident tranlmitted to the house on
the 29 h of April, a report of the sec
retary of state on the fubjoft, conlllt
ing of three several Uatements, and

We have seen a letter from an Ame

man in New York, dated the OL'h of
April, which fays—“ Times here are

be considered as nnmhildted. If the

It is worthy of remark, that Timo
thy Pickering was a candidate for the
senate of the- United States, but was
dropeby his political friends. Consid
ering that he once held the feat, and
was fuoceeded by a republican, the
old* demagogue had a” good right to ex
pend to be reinflated.. Phis potn'ed
neglect mult be a feveye and mortify
ing ftioke to the old veteran iri politi
cal iniquity. It is a specimen of the
“ modern gratitude” oi anglo federal
ifm. Timothy, however, deserves e
ven a worse punishment for his glaring
deviations from the path of patriotism. ‘
