IMPRISONMENT OF THE PATRIOTS. 337 



General Miranda, who had, with many 

 Others, proceeded to La Guayra, with the 

 intention of embarking there for Carthagena, 

 was arrested ; and nearly one thousand pa- 

 triots were thrown into dungeons at La 

 Guayra and Puerto Cabello. Miranda, as 

 before mentioned, was sent to Cadiz, where 

 he died. Don J. Cortes Madariaga, P. J. 

 Roscio, J. Ayala, and J. Castillo, South 

 Americans ; Ysnardi, Ruiz, Mires, and Bar- 

 rosa, Spaniards in the service of the Re- 

 public, were also sent to Cadiz, and con- 

 demned by the Cortes to imprisonment, 

 without any limitation of time, at Ceuta. 

 The South Americans escaped from thence 

 in 1814 to Gibraltar; but the governor of 

 that fortress delivered them up to the Spa- 

 niards ; and it was not till the middle of 

 1816, that, through the intervention of the 

 English Government, they obtained their 

 release. The four Spaniards remained for 

 years at Ceuta.
