Ctuugnl to tube command of Carthage-1
Mi and id li louic iiM» Aiv.tha and Ve
nezuela, the intrigues and disobedience of
brigadier general v'a+ullo. who commanded
the province ot Carthagmia, succeeded in
exciting tlu* inhabitants against the anny
Ol" general ilolivar.
In a work written on this event, the ge
neral exposes the perfidy uf brigadier gene
ral Castillo, and shews the moderation
which characterised his own conduct at that
unfortunate period. No other motive in
duced the general to leave Carthagena and
retiie to Jamaica, but not wishing to bejthe
cause, though innocent, of a civil war with
brigadier general Castillo.
It is difficult to define the private charac
ter of general Ilolivar—it is difficult to dr
justice in every particular. Among his
countrymen he is without an equal, and
still less lias lie a competitor, *
Few men possess a nicer sense of honor
and delicacy. His gencrod’y" and disin
terestedness are unbounded : his goodness
ot heart is visible on eve: v occasion which
presents itself wherein sympathy can be
excited. His greatest plea mi re when pos
sessed ot tiie very ample fortune which he
inherited, was to relieve unfortunate ob
jects deserving of compassion. Their dig
treM he did not fail to alleviate, and in the
most delicate and private manner. He ne
ver rambles and in this particular is a most
singular exception. He is capable of un
dergoing fatigues and supporting privati
ons with any man. Few possess more con
stancy, either in danger or in adversity—
his perseverance lias no limit—both the
qualities in his character have been most
fully proved by events within my know
Ivdge.
It cannot be decided whether he best
ppeuks or writes, he excels in both. fie
understands the French language well, and
r;,r- also translate the Iui'g!i»li. lie has
n-ad much and has an excellent memory.
