GOVER:-.TMENT. CITIZENS, Some Spaniards, the enemies of our liberty, have combined' with the Chiefs of Monte Video, a horrible plan to give a mortal.blow to the ea- isteuce of the country, by surprising our quarters, destroying the Government, assassinating your Magistrates, proscribing the meritorious citizens,. dis Solving the State, and finally delivering up these countries, covered with American blood, to the ominous yoke of the despots. 'The conspiracy haS been discovered : three of the conspirators have received on the gallows the reward of their hor rible perfidy, and every preparation is made to satisfy the public vengeance by the exemplary pu- . nishment of those involved in this criminal coni bination. The Government has been highly gra tified in witnessing the enthusiasm with which the patriots of - the capital ran to arms at the moment . when they suspected danger. Retain, Citizens, these noble sentiments, and our enernies will dis appear at the very sight of your irritated counte nances. Remain tranquil - ;' return to the bosom of your families, and confide in the justice of'the Government, and in the rectitude and zeal of your Magistrates: (Signed) FELICIANO ANTONIO DE Cut- CLANA ; JUAN MARTIN PURYRREDON, BERNARDINO ItipAD4ylA. NicoLAs - HaRREitA SeC • Buenos Ayres, .1111 y 4,.1812. In another Proclamation, dated the 25th of July, the Junta announce, that " twenty-five of ~the conspirators had perished on the scaffold ; and "though the glory of the American name required, the suspension of capital 'punishment, Yet the vernment would continue to take the necessary measures for The public , tranquility:' They fur ther add ; --" judicial proceedings ' shall still go on ; the accomplices in the conspiracy, and the suspected, shall not remain in oar society ; and the chastisement shall be proportioned to the enor mity of the offence." BUENOS AYRES, JULY 10. DETAILS OF THE PLOT, A considerable numbers of European Spaniards in this capital prepared, under an oath of secrecy, a conspiracy formed on the most horrible plan, and .of which posterity will not • read without trembling. They had taken their measures for a rising on one of those nights when thd neligence or confidence of the military detachments best promised a fortunate result. The direction of the plan was intrusted 'to the Spaniard Martin Alza ga, of whose turbulent and daring character we have had-repeated proofs. For this. purpose , they had formed their companies and regiments of in fantry, with corresponding Officers The Beth lemite; Father Jose de las Animas, had the chief command of the cavalry. The Hospital of Con valescents was to be the rallying point for all the conspirators. Their first object was to seize upon the barrack guard-room ; - and as they calculated upon the assistance of all the disbanded Spaniards, the latter were to be entrusted with the custody of all the principal points, while arms -were to he put into the bawls of the conspirators most distin guished for their valour and skill. Numerous pa troles were next to be detached, for the purpose pose of sin prising such of our's as they might, meet in the . streets, and getting possession of their arms. The cavalry was destined to surprise the park of artillery, and scour the outside of the walls, that nothing might escape. The infantry were to surprise the head-qUarters of the artillery, and of the civic regiments ; from thence :they were to march to take the fort, with which view they laid a plan to get the Fort Major out of his house, acid then compel him to demand that the principal gate should be opened, when immediately a corps of 300 men was to advance and carry it by' storth. • - The enterprise was to be carried into effect at two in the morning, and as soon as it wvs day they were to make signals to the marines, for the purpose of supplying the assistance agreed upon. To prevent any movement on the part 'of the Aulericans, they were to issue a Proclamation, threatening death to every native who should leave his house, and to every European,,Spaniard who did .not join them with all the arms in hii possession. When success was obtained,,,all the Members of the Government, the Magistrates, the principal American citizens, and the Spaniards most attached to the present system, were to be seized and shot. The capital was'to be governed by the author of the conspiracy, Martin Alzaga, without acknowledging any dependence on the Governor of Monte Video, till the decision of the Cortes ; for the grand object was to restore the ascendancy of the Spaniards, and to i eplace the Americans in a situation a thousand times more servile than their former one. Such was the plan', as appe trs from the trials of the conspirators ; but God, who always watches over the good, provided the means of discovery at the very moment when it was about to be realised. One of the conspirators incautiously disclosed himself in the presence of a slave. ThiS fortunate man, alive-to the dictates of reason and huma nity, communicated what he had heard to a person in whom he had confidence, and in this way it reached the knowledge of the Government. The conspiracy being discovered, after the first inves tigations,' three of the chief conspirators were seized, shot, and exposed to public view. The traitor Alzaga, as soon as he heard the news, fled from his house with the view- of escaping, !mit soon fell into the hands of justice, and has been rewarded for his horrible crimes by condign pu nishment. -The wickedness of these men conld only be equalled by the heroic enthusiasm of the people of Buenos Ayres. No sooner, was the discovery made .public, than they took up, and ran to their quarters, determined to save the country, or perish gloriously in ,its defence. In a short time more than 6000 men were collected, who, mixed with our veterans, guarded the city, arrested various delinquents, and with a • moderation unexampled •in the history Of revolutions,. presented them un injured to the • public authorities. The people were present in crowds at the execution of the guilty; and at that< moment were heard una nimous shouts pf--.." kng live the country the !—Perill the-tyrants ! !--== H The bands played . patriotic airs, and the people hymn for the triumph of liberty over the - - eikitS' of troasOn :and'tyranny. Bra even amidst all tL:i euthAsiasm, not the.sinallest excesses were co:mnitted _upon the persons and properties-of the European Spaniards—eyen those of them whose . . opposmon to our. system is notorious to all parties... 2.7 1 BUENOS AYRES, JULY 24.- 7 -The Portuguese troops commenced their retreat from San Fr:tn cisco.mi the 13th July: - etmsequence -of the events' - Which have re cently,. occurred here, the , Government Of- Monte . Video has prohibited all intercourse with us Under .pain of death. JULY 17.7-By the last - accounts we learn, that. Goyoneche, at the head of a division 013000 men, Was advancing to Cochabamba, having routed sonic detachments that opposed his march. -He may, perhaps, occupy the capital of that province, but he will be again compelled - to abandon it ; for no sooner does his army march on from any place, than the valiant patriotic inhabitants are re-animated with the spirit of independence. BUENOS AYRES, AUG. 7.-7-By the . latest ac count received from Don Manuenielgrano;Ge neral of the Army of Peru, dated the 28th of July, we learn that the cannon . foundry attached to that army, under the direction . of the Baron de Olemberg, proceeds very successfully. Already two 8-inch mortars, and two 6-inch howitzers haVe been east, and they are now moulding some culverins. . REJECTED ADDRESSES.

On Saturday 'last - a Man entered the c:;ttage of the .aboVe ;rimed person, in the open face of day, at ten o'clock in•the forenoon, and with a bill-hook almost cut the bead of the unfortuiate woman in two pieces, afterliaving beat her with a broom stick until her skull 'vas literally beat to pieces ; he then rifled her "pockets and took away about eighteen shilling's in silver, and two or three one pound notes that he found in her box.—He then dressed himself in a suit of the husband's clothes, took part of a loat and some butter, and- went de liberately away, taking also the man's hat and two silk handkerchiefs. He was seen at a small dis tance from the scene of this horrid transaction by a lad belonging to a neighbouring farmer, who knew him well, and took particular notice of the clothes on the back of the wretch, as he was snak ing his espape.
