También se refiere extensamente a la ocupación alemana en las siguientes palabras: “Charles V. mortgaged the province of Venezuela, situated in the midst of the coast we are now speaking of, to the family of the Welsers. These rich merchants of Ausburg in 1528 sent thither four hundred and fourscore Germans, who in avarice and ferocity surpassed all persons that had before appeared in the new world. History accuses them of having massacred or caused to be destroyed a million of Indians. Their tyranny ended by a horrible catastrophe, and they were never replaced. It was considered as a happiness, that the country which they had laid waste should return under the Spanish dominion. || UNFORTUNATELLY the scenes of horror which the Germans had exhibited, were renewed by Carjaval (sic), who was appointed to the government of this unhappy country. This monster, it is true, lost his head on a scaffold; but the punishment did not recall from the grave the victims he had sacrificed. The depopulation was so complete, that in 1550 a great number of negroes were imported from Africa, on whom the hopes of an unbounded prosperity were founded. The habit of tyranny made the Spaniards treat these slaves with such severity, that they revolted. Their rebellions furnished a pretext for massacring all the males; and this colony once more became a desert in which the ashes of negroes, Spaniards, Indians, and Germans were intermixed. Venezuela fell again into that total oblivion which also involved the provinces that are in the vicinity of the Oroonoko and the Magdalena, though the extent, excellence, and variety of their soil might have invited the mother country to derive several productions from them, and for the most part very rich ones. The center of this extensive coast is employed in cultivating cocoa”.
