They al- ways fearlessly spent their money which was gained on the road, in the city; and then as openly aijsembled their forces and sallied out to plunder again. The merchants of the place had fre- quently but vainly called on the Government to put down these daring people; yet this blessed country, with "God and Liberty" for its motto, ROBBERS. 7 continued to countenance, by the fear or indiffe- rence of its authorities, the most ghiring and con- stant enormities. September 3. — As only three... of my Httle party were armed, I hired five men, who had three very peaceable-looking muskets, two swords, and a spear, to accompany me ; and early on the morning of the 3rd set out with my troop for San Cristobal. In two hours we passed the spot on the top of the Cuesta del Malacate where the three men had been pillaged, and where the grass was eaten quite short by the horses of the robbers. Soon after descend- ing this very steep mountain-pass we met a boy, from whom we learnt that three armed men on horse- back and two on foot had passed a short time be- fore us ; and I afterwards heard that they carried forward an account of my force, with the opinion that my cargo was of great value ; probably from their having mistaken three heavy boxes of mine- ralogical specimens for cases of dollars.
