THE immense quantity of lands in the province of Caracas, the abundance of perpetual streams which fertilize them ; the diversity of productions and their richness, offer to the industrious man the greatest advantages in agriculture. The geographical situation of a great extent of coast opposite the Antilles and other Islands, the great consumption of the States of Venezuela, confederated with those of Cundinamarca or Santa-Fé, open and facilitate a commerce the most advantageous in the universe. The peaceable character of the inhabitants ; the mildness of their behaviour, the regard they shew to foreigners ; and lastly the mildness of the climate, it being a perpetual spring, invite persons to settle in the province of Caracas, as cultivators, artisans or merchants. The Government interested in protecting all, will give lands to any person who may wish to cultivate them : and will secure, in their respective professions, all those who dedicate themselves to commerce, industry and the arts ; it will alone prosecute and expel the turbulent and the idle, who apply themselves to disturbing the tranquility and peace of those who live occupied. The industrious and peaceable man will enjoy in Venezuela the protection of government and the estimation of the people. chapter{Section 4 Ademas se advierte que aunque el cpmercio de negros está prohibido en Venezuela, no comprehende la prohibicion à los- extrangeros que vengan con sus esclavos à establecerse con ellos, prec...« less
