Colonial officials uncovered a plot involving Francisco Javier Pirela, a pardo militia sublieutenant, and French privateers from Saint-Domingue. Historical accounts describe a planned uprising for 19 May that aimed to overthrow Spanish authority and establish a republic. The 8 May chronology entry records the plot’s exposure, not a successful uprising. Spanish archival descriptions often used racialized labels such as “negros” and “mulatos”; those terms reflect the colonial record and should not be treated as neutral descriptions of the participants’ identities or politics.
