He was the Judge of Santafé de Bogotá, Judge of Seville and Valencia and a government representative.
He was the son of the field marshal Joaquín Cabrera de Mosquera and María de Mosquera y Paredes, both from the town of Escalona. He studied at the University of Havana.
In 1796 he was appointed as a lawyer to the Court of Santo Domingo. After the loss of Santo Domingo to the French by the Peace of Basel in 1795, Mosquera immigrated to Puerto Rico in 1801, where he worked as a lawyer.

With the Spanish reconquest of Santo Domingo in 1809, he returned as an advisor to Governor Juan Sánchez Ramírez. Later, he was appointed first prosecutor of the Treasury of Havana.
Mosquera was elected Government Representative of Santo Domingo in the Cádiz Cortes (parliament). He took the oath on February 27, 1812 and was a signatory of the 1812 Constitution. On March 27, 1813, he obtained a permit to return to Santo Domingo.

He fled to Jamaica and then to Havana in 1822, bearing the official seal of the Court. In June 1822, he arrived in Madrid.
