NOBOA, Manuel Vasquez de, Chilian statesman, born in Concepcion in 1783; died in Santiago in 1855. In 1803 he was graduated in law, but, when in 1810 the war of independence began, he took part in it on the patriot side. At a popular meeting in Concepcion, to appoint a junta like that of Santiago, he was elected one of its members. When the Spanish expedition under General Pareja (q. v.) landed in San Vicente, 26 March, 1812, the latter proposed to the junta a basis of arrangement by which they should recognize Ferdinand VII. No-boa, who presided over the junta, fearing that the members might be inclined to submit, refused to discuss the conditions, and left for the capital in quest of the army. At La Angostura he met General Carrera, who marched against Concepcion, and Noboa took part in the campaign of the south as military judge. After the defeat of Rancagua he emigrated with his family to the Argentine Republic, where he met the rival generals O'Higgins and Carrera. When the two brothers Carrera were shot in Mendoza, Noboa was their defender, for which act he was exiled to Buenos Ayres, where he suffered great poverty. Afterward he went to Montevideo, where he was appointed attorney-general of the province, but, fearing that the Spaniards would take possession of Montevideo again, he returned to Chili in 1819. On his arrival at Valparaiso he was imprisoned by order of the supreme director, and exiled to Peru, where he was appointed district attorney of Trujillo. He returned to Chili after the fall of O'Higgins, and, in consequence of the dissensions between the three provinces, was appointed a member of the commission that promulgated the act of union of the provinces and the organic laws. During the government of Freire he formed part of the senate that passed the law for the abolition of slavery in Chili, 24 July, 1823, and in 1825 he was appointed minister of the supreme court of justice. He was deputy to the convention of 1828, and afterward councillor of state.
NOBOA, Manuel Vasquez de - Appleton's Biography by Stanley L. Klos
NOBOA, Manuel Vasquez de, Chilean statesman, born in
Concepción in 1783; died in Santiago in 1855. In 1803 he was graduated in law,
but, when in 1810 the war of independence began, he took part in it on the
patriot side. At a popular meeting in Concepción, to appoint a junta like that
of Santiago, he was elected one of its members.
When the Spanish expedition under General Pareja (q. v.)
landed in San Vicente, 26 March, 1812, the latter proposed to the junta a basis
of arrangement by which they should recognize Ferdinand VII. Noboa, who presided
over the junta, fearing that the members might be inclined to submit, refused to
discuss the conditions, and left for the capital in quest of the army.
At La Angostura he met General Carrera, who marched
against Concepción, and Noboa took part in the campaign of the south as military
judge. After the defeat of Rancagua he emigrated with his family to the
Argentine Republic, where he met the rival generals O'Higgins and Carrera. When
the two brothers Carrera were shot in Mendoza, Noboa was their defender, for
which act he was exiled to Buenos Aires, where he suffered great poverty.
Afterward he went to Montevideo, where he was appointed
attorney-general of the province, but, fearing that the Spaniards would take
possession of Montevideo again, he returned to Chile in 1819. On his arrival at
Valparaiso he was imprisoned by order of the supreme director, and exiled to
Perú, where he was appointed district attorney of Trujillo.
He returned to Chile after the fall of O'Higgins, and,
in consequence of the dissensions among the three provinces, was appointed a
member of the commission that promulgated the act of union of the provinces and
the organic laws. During the government of Freire he formed part of the senate
that passed the law for the abolition of slavery in Chile, 24 July, 1823, and in
1825 he was appointed minister of the supreme court of justice. He was deputy to
the convention of 1828, and afterward councilor of state.
