Lidlie, who came litre on a mission from Cen. Miranda, left tins' in tlie f erret brig, and we suppose will be landed on the Spanish Main, near head-quarters, which, we believe, is at Coro, it is much to be regretted, that no assistance could be affordtd the Gen eral from this quarter, as we are well assured that, a few hundred men, tole rably disciplined, would effected all he wished for in u few' weeks—a junction with - a considerate'body of men now encamped ready to join him; but which he cannot attempt with the present force now under his command. August 26. On General Miranda’s debarkation at Coro, he immediately issued consid erable numbers, printed in the Spanish language, on a large type, of the fol lowing PROCLAMATION. Don Francisco de Miranda, Com mander in Chief of the Columbian Army, to the Inhabitants of the Con tinent of Columbian America: Brave Country rum and Friaids, OBEDIENT to your wishes, and to the repeated requests and calls of the country, to whose service we have cheerfully consecrated the greater part of our lives, we have disembarked in this Province of Caraccas. The op portunity and time appear t£fffs highly For the completion iff our de j signs ; and all persons composing this j army are your friends or countrymen ; I all resolved to sacrifice their lives, if j necessary, for your Liberty and Inde | pcndcncc, under the auspices ando/o'o - tcclioti of the British Navy! With those 1 auxiliaries, we can safely say, that the day will come vvhtn our America, , recovering her Sovereign Indepen ' dence, her sons will lie able freely to j shew to the universe their exulted spi ! l it. The oppressive, unfeeling govern 4nent, which has obscured our finer qualities, and.blackened w ith calumnies our deference and character, managed j also to maintain her abominable system j of administration for three successive : centuries, but was never able to eradi cate from our hearts those moral and civil virtues which a holy religion, and a regular code of laws, incorporated with our customs, and led to-an honest and natural course oPaction. ;i Let us be vvorthyilien of those admi rable qualities, that the meat), odious agents of the Court of Madrid being expelled, vve may be able quietly to es tablish the civil order heceSsjry to the completion bf so honorable ftri under taking. The recovery of'oti? rights as Citizens, and of our national glory as Columbian Americans, will be amongst the least benefits we shall derive from that so just and necessary detertnina tion. ’, " The innocent Indians and other then w ill consider us all as Brother Citizens, and that precedency belongs only to merit and virtue, in which belief they 1 will primarily obtain, most certainly, military and civil recompences, the re ward of merit alone. If tlie Dutch and Portuguese were ; able in former times td throw off the | yoke of Spanish oppression ; if the j Swiss and Americans, our Neighbors, 1 have equally succeeded to establish their liberty and independence with the general applause of the world, and to the benefit of their inhabitants, when, each of them seperately, scarcely con tained two to three millions of people : Why then shall we, who are at the least Sixteen Millions, not be able ea sily to extricate ourselves ? Possessing besides, over and above these consid erations, the most fertile, inexhaustible, and rich Continent in the known world! The fact is that it depends solely upon .our own will —and, that the will, progressing to our independence, Union will assure to us permanent and perpe tual happiness: the Divine Providence ordains it, to alleviate the miseries of our unhappy countrymen, and for the protection and benefit of <he human specks I ’ > * Those people, who are tfmerrous or less instructed, and who wish to inform themselves of the ground work, of the justice and equity which those proceed ings require—joined to the historical truths that prove the inconceivable in gratitude, unheard of cruelties, arid atro cious persecutions of the Spanish gov ernment, towards tlie innocent and un happy inhabitants of the New-World, almost from the moment of its discove ry, will read the subjoined'address of Bon Juan Viscardo, of tlie Order of Je sus, directed to his countrymen, and they will find in it irrefragable proofs and solid arguments in favor of our : cause, dictated by a holy man, at a ; time w hen he was about taking his leave of this world, to appear before the Cre ator of the Universe. To carry this.plan into its due effect with security Sc efficacy, the citizens wffi be obliged, without distinction of clas ses or station, (ecclesiastics only ex-- cepted in the parts where they may be appointed,) to conform themselves strictly to the following articles : I. Every person, rinilitaiy, judicial, civil, or ecclesiastic, who exercises any authority granted by the Court of Mad; rid, shall suspend ifiso facto their func tions—and those who may continue them after the present pu bfiFatidn, as well as those who obey such persons, shall be severely punished. 11. The Ecclesiastical Courts and Courts of Justice, in all the cities, towns and places, shall exercise, ad interim, all the functions of government, civil, administrative, and judicial, with per sonal responsibility, and regulated by the laws of the country; and the curates of parishes and missionaries shall re main in their respective churches and parishes, without altering the-exercise of their sacred functions. 111. All the Ecclesiastical Courts and Courts of Justice shall send one or two Deputies to the Head-Quarters of the army, in order that they may unite themselves in a general assembly on our arrival in the capital-—and to form there a provisional government, which may lead in due time to another gov ernment general and permanent, wiffi the consent of all the nation. IV. Every Citizen from the age of 16 to 55 years shall repair without fail to the army, bringing with him such arms as he may be able to procure— and, if they have none, they shall re ceive them from the Military depots of the army. V. The Citizen who may have the baseness to make common cause with the agents of the Spanish government, or who may be found with arms, en camped, in any garrison or place of strength for the said government, shall be treated as a traitor to his country. If any persons in the actual service of Spain shall be so pusillanimous as to believe that they are in honor bound to serve against the independence of their country, they shall be forever banished the country. VI. On the contrary, all those who are exercising any military, civil, or whatever other employs, who may join with promptitude the standard of the country, shall receive honors and em ployments proportioned to. the zeal and love of the country which they may have manifested in such an important conjuncture: Soldiers and Seamen shall he equally rewarded according to their capacity and zeal. VII. The Treasurers of the public money shall immediately deposit the same with the Administrators civil and ecclesiastic—who shall nominate per sons capable of managing the same, and for the supply of the Columbian Army, with whatever may be necessa ry to its maintenance and operations; not only in money, but also in provi sions, clothing, vegetables, carriages, mules, horses, &c. VIII. In order to prevent all kind of insults or aggression on the part of the soldiers or the advanced posts of the ar my—the magtetrate&and parish priests of the cities, towns, and villages, (un der their personal responsioility) shall cause to be fixed the colors or ensign of the National Independence, in the highest anil most conspicuous parts of the churches, and the citizens shall al so wear in their hats the cockade which denotes them to be such, since without which, they would not be respected and protected as brothers. IX. This Proclamation shall be fix ed, by the priests and magistrates, on the doors of the parish churches and all public buildings, in order that it may be speedily notified to all the inhabit ants ; they shall also read in the church es, and in every civil court, once a day at least, the pamphlet, formerly men tioned, written by J. Viscardo, which accompanies this edict. . X. Whoever shall hinder, retard, or neglect the completion of the nine pre ceding articles, shall be considered as a public offender, and punished immedi ately with exemplary severity—The public good is the supreme law.
