Garrido's answer to insulting comments and writings by Muñoz Bezanilla, a fervent liberal politician and publicist who had been responding to perceived libels against him that appeared in the periodical Hambriento, which he thought Garrido had helped write.Garrido (1779-1864), born in Spain, disembarked at Talcahuano in 1818 to fight the Chilean rebels, but shortly after defected to fight with Bernardo O'Higgins. He became a friend and counsellor to O'Higgins and to other important figures in the early years of Chile's independence: José Joaquin Prieto, Diego Portales and Manuel Bulnes. He was a journalist, a diplomat, and a soldier (fighting in the campaign against Peru in 1838 under Manuel Bulnes). From 1837-1843 and in 1846, 1849, and 1852 he served as deputy in the Chilean Congress, and from 1855-1864 as senator.José Santiago Muñoz Bezanilla (ca. 1780-1836), a native of Santiago, was involved in the Chilean independence movement as early as 1811, when he helped suppress the Figueroa Mutiny. After Rancagua he was exiled by the Spaniards to the Juan Fernández islands, returning only after the Battle of Maipú in 1818. As a liberal, he wrote for El Pipiolo and El Monitor Araucano, and several times during the 1820s served in Congress. He also helped promulgate the Constitution of 1828, and under President Francisco Ramón Vicuña was secretary of War and the Navy.*** Briseño I, 158. Not in Palau.
