night we marched to Coro, with two piece
of light artillery and about two hundred and -50
men including sailors & marines. General'
Miranda'Mioped to surprise the enemy, at
break of day, before the king's treasure could
be removed, but he was disappointed, for e '
found an empty city ; the inhabitants fled to
the mountains, with their valuables, a few old
men and women, some negroes and children,
and a few tables and chairs only remained '
Coro is one of the earliest buiU.citiesof Spa

well-built, every hcue is almost cannon

ference. . .

When the advanced' guard which I followed

shot dead on he spot ; at this moment the
prisoners, clinking their chains, cried out
througu the grates olthe prison u Vive Mi

fired a feu dt joy; at this time, still dark,
the infantry walrawttipontheidof the.
square opposite ta the privw fc close in front
of-the cathedral, the artillery in front of the
infantry in the centre ofthe squsre ; 1$ while
ire were unharnessing tho mules' froVn the
pieces and 'preparing to fire upon the prion
when ordered, the inUntry behind u hearing
the feu' ds jiyofthe advanced guard, brliev
ed the place was defended, and without, wait

manding officer, lieutenant colonel Kirkland,
they put two muiket balls, into him, one of
which came out at the arm he is in a fair
way of reebvery. They wounded two men
at my gin, one close to my right side,-rnd
the other as close on my left-. I had the
good fortune to rermin tourt amidst a show

some ininutes.
