by
the

of t he
Mountain, until they came to the City of

The Captain

ere touched
with
a

out of the Kingdom. But that afcer thefe Acts of Mercy, they might feem to
execute fome piece of Severity, they put one of them to death., named
Gua–

who had been concerned in the Confpiracy of
Don Sebaflian,
and was
the boldeft, bloodieft Villain of any of thofe who adhered to
H ern//lndez_,
and
fo his
Life
fatisfied for tlte Crimes of his Companions. The fame of the

of
which the Major General
D on

and Captain
Baltatar

(who forne
few
days before had
by
order of the Juftices marched out of
Coz_co
with thirty Souldiers, and two Colours in fearch of
Hernandez.,)
made
what hafre they could to joyn with the other
party,
who .conducted the Pri–
foner, that they might partake of the glory of that Victory which others had
acquired, and might enter into
Los
Reyes
with triumph, as
if
they alfo had
been concerned in
that happy exploit.
In this manner they met fome few
Leagues before
they
came to the
City,
and made a
triumphant
entry with all
four Colours
flying;
but in regard the two Captains only were concerned in
the taking of
Hernandez..,
they with their Companies marched in the middle
between the party commanded
by
the Major General and Captain
Baltatar

:
the Prifoner was placed in the midfr between the four Colours, and
on each iae, and before him, went the three Souldiers, already.named, .who
took him. After thefe followed the Infantry in rank and file., and in like
manner the Cavalry.
In the rear of all came the Major General and the
three Captains. The Mufquetiers in token of rejoycing and triumph fired
fe–
veral Vollies as they marched; and indeed the joy was univerfal to fee an end
put to that Rebellion, which had given a · difi:nrbance to the whole Empire,
and liad brought ruin and mifery, as well on the
Jndums
