We have hail another affair here, which bears a strong resemblance to that projected formerly by Yayou, against the life of our President. On the 7th December, a General, named Artilonar, who commanded at Janne], and Who waa confederated with Yayou, put himself at the head of his troops, for the avowed purpose of produchn; an insurrertioN against this place. The plot being discovered by Petion, he dis patched two of his officers (Bonnet and De Troy) to wait the arrival of the traitors. These officers permitted :11`Glonar to enter the town, hut remained in full possession of the forts. Whilst he was engazed in endeavouring to gain over the troops from their allegiance, 1)c Troy rode in, and secured Nl`tilonar. Five pistol shots were discharged at De Troy without effect, and the rest of the party tied. M'Glonar was sent to prison, who, a few hours after his confine ment, swallowed poison, with which he had previously supplied himself, and was found dead. Another of his corn. pinions, who was taken in his fiirht, blew out his brains before his pistol could be wrested from his hand. 011117:11S IN COUNCIL. Mn.
