Pbilade!j)ba, May 31. IMPORTANT. Late from Carraccas. Yeflcrday arrived fchooncr Adventure, capt. Armftrong, 24 days from Laguir3, and informs that on or about the coih April, a fchooner arrived at the port from Spain, bear ing difpatches to the governor of Carraccas, with inform ati on that all S. wa in the hands of the F. except Cadiz. 1 his news flew before the in e (Ten ger- The people of Carraccas the metropolis of that partot S. America, (no doubt prepared fortlic contingency; roliand a bodv of them met the
meffenger feized his difpatch es and carried him to goal. They immediately after leiz ed the governor and commander in duet at Carraccas, brought him down under a guard of one hundred men. and put him on board a A'paniih biig lying in port, on board ot which they put a few other officers and lent her off; at the fame time they
took up the lieutenant governor of Carraccas, and the commandant of La Guira, with the country round. A lib Barcelona, and fome other towns, it was faid had
declared themfelves independent of all the world, with the provifo, that if Ferdinand recovered his country and throne, that they would then acknowledge him' and return to their allegjipce. The people have appointed a junta and new organized the government. The whole of this revoluti on was put in motion fo fuddenly, that they took the governor up in the ftreet while walking at his pleafure, not having the ieaft fufpicion of fuch an event, and v was accomplifhed without the lofs of a life or the fpilling ( of blood ; or any further diflurbance than feizing and flapping off about 8 or ten of the principal civil and military officers. After this they laid an embargo on all veflels in port, which in eight days was taken off and the veflels fuffered to depart, Thpopu lace at firlt feized the fchr. that brought difpatches, but the captain ot her telling a plaufible llory, and that he vvilhed to flay among them, they took off the guard, and in the night the fchooner dipt off. Jt was faid among the
papers of the governor which the populace feized, there were found feveral that gave them realon to believe that the governor of Carraccas in the French intcrelt, and had held trealonable correlpondence with the French. The Spaniards feemed very wrath againft the French and feized every one they found in their country. From the Philadelphia Gazette. TllANSLA HON. From the Gazette of Carraccas of Apiil 27, 1810. Our external defence and fecurity could not be fatisfac
torily efiablifhed, while the provinces compofing the de partments of Venezuela uni ted under the ancient fvf
tern, did not form with the capital a confederation that would infurc refpcaability to the caufe which we have un dertaken ; and with this view the provincial government have chofen from amou the natives thole ciiaraftcrs befl qualified by their knowledge, attachment to the common caufe, anil influence with the people, to difclurge the public duties afligned to them, under
the aufplces of reciprocal be ncficence and utility ; and by this means, we may promife ourfelves that happy refult ot which it is fufceptible. In addition to the ncceflary in flruflions, the government has addrefled the different provinces, through the means of their commilfioners, the following ' PROCLAMATION. Inhabitants of the united
provinces of Venezula! The
panilh nation after two years
of the rnoft bloody war, and
the moft violent druggies to
defend its liberty and inde
pendence is now on the eve
of falling under the tyrannical
yoke ot its conquerers. The
pafles of the Sierra Morena,
which defended the refidence
of the national fovereignty
having been forced by the
enemy they have defcended like an impetuous torrent on Andalufia and the louthern provinces, and are adiually
harraffing the rear of thofe
few honelt and worthvpatri
ots who precipitately flew for
fhelter under the walls of
Cadiz.
The fupreme Central junta which poflefled the national
authority, has been diflblved
and difperfed, in confeqUence
oi fo much turbulence and
precipitation ; and, .finally
by that fad cataflrophe, the
fovereignty of the nation,
legally conftituted tor the general prefervation of the
itate, has been thus deflroyed.
Under thefe embarrafling circumftonces the inhabitants
of Cadiz, have organized a
nrvv lylfem of government
under the denomination of
4 Regency, V which can have
no other objedt than the tern
porary defence of thofe few
Spaniards who had fucceeded in ekaping the yoke of the conquerer, and providing for
their future lafety, and con-
fequently cannot be cloathed
with the general national
j) :)vcr, much lets of that of
thofe citizens who poflefs the
legitimaic and indifpenfibie
power or watching over their
own prefervation & fecurity,
as integral parts of the span
i(h monarchy. And can you
attain fo important an objodt l A 1
uy your 'jcuenoence on a
power in itleli illegal, fluftu
ating and agitated ! Would
it be prudent for you to ne
gleet with indifference, lo
precious an opportunity, fly inj; after vain and flattering hopes, inflead of haflening to conflitute that union & force which alone can fecurc your
political exiflence, and effeft
the liberation of your Leloved
Ferdinand the feventh froia
his melancholy imprifon-
ment i
should we by this mcan
this delightful clime, perpetu-
ate that auguit and lioly religion received from our fore-
fathers? No! boloved com
patriots ; the people of Carraccas, are well convinced of
the neceffity we have of
fupporting our caufe with
vigor and energy, it you Willi to preferve fo many, and fuch
invaluable rights; and with
this view, after receiving the
deplorable information of the
unfortunate flate of the war
in spain, by the laft arrivals on our coalt it was determined
to form a provifional govern ment in this capital, as well
rfor itfelf, as for 2(11 other parts
of the province, which fliall
unite vvith their accuflomed
fidely in favor of Ferdinand
the 7th, aild the fame x as
proclaimed and made public
on the 19th of this prefenc
month depofiting the fupreme authority in the moft illuflii-
ous council of this city and a
number of deputies that were.
datned as aflociates, arid toge

and government a5 may be
confidered mbfl confeehial to the intereflscx general wiflies of thfc pedpilei Inhabitant of Vehe2uela ! this is the vote of the city of Carraccas. All its firff and highefl- authorities have fol emnly acknowledged it, by accepting and fwearing to obferve "with due obedience, the decifions of the people by their reprdentatives, and we, in obedience to the facred duties impofed upon us, make it known to- you, and we invite you to join in that union and fraternity which call us to ihefame duty and intereff. If the fovereignty has been provifionally eftablifbed with a few individuals, it is not for the purpofe of eflablifbing, over you, an infulting or opprelfive ufurpation, nor yet a difgracefulor fhamefui flavery but that the urgency and neceffity of the moment as well as the novelty & importance of the objes imperioufly require it for the common fecuiity. This itfelf puts ic out of our power to make manifeft to you on this haffy occafion, the extenfion of our generous ideas : butyou muft refleft, that if we acknowlege and loudly claim ihe facred rights of nature, to protett
