Francisco Tomás Morales (Agüimes Carrizal, Canary Islands, December 20, 1781 or 1783 - Las Palmas, Canary Islands, October 5, 1845), was a Spanish military, and the last of that country to hold the post of Captain General of Venezuela, reaching the rank of Field Marshal during the Venezuelan War of Independence. As recounted in a series of letters distributed by the Philadelphia Gazette, in 1822 General Morales issued a decree widely interpreted by the American merchants then in Caracas, Laguayra and Puerto Cabella as a threat. The Americans solicited the help of Capt. Robert T. Spence, whose frigate, the Cyane was in the area, to delay his departure for Africa (on piracy duty) to protect them from Morales. Spence complied for several days in October 1822, much to the relief of the America
