CONSPIRACY IN PRUSSIA.

SPROM A PRIVATE LETTER.]
BERLIN, UNE, 26.--A conspiracy to introduce
the Spanish Constitution into Prussia has been dis-
covered. At the head of it stood a Nobleman in
the neighbourhood of Dantzic, a relation of M. von
Humboldt, the late Minister. A great number of
country people had pledged themselves by oath to
support him; his design was to take by surprise
Stargard, a strong town, where a depot of arms be-
longing to the Landwehr would have furnished the
means necessary for such a project. He probably
stood in connection with sonie powerful people in
Poland, where the Russian Government is much
detested. A short time before the conspirators in.
tended to begin their work, the plot was discovered,
and fourteen members arrested. The Government
is anxious to prevent any thing transpiring of this
accident, which, although ineffectual, proves enough
that sooner or latter, our military despotism must
have un end.

Letters from the Island of St. Thomas, dated the
' 25th of May, state that the city of Caraccas has
been taken by the Independents, who entered it on
the 12th. The following particulars are given of
the mode in which this conquest was effected :—On
the conclusion of the armistice, the Spanish Generals
Morales and La Torre concentrated their whole force
about Valencia and Calaboso, leaving Caraccas
wholly unprotected. Gen. Bermudez,who command-
ed a division under Bolivar, perceiving this over-
sight, marched upon the city with 1200 men. On
his march he encountered an advanced post of 300
men, whom he repulsed with ease ; and the Gover-
nor who marched out of the city to their assistance
at the head of 600 men, was also defeated. He
retreated into Caraccus, and summoned the Pro-
visional Junta, whom he informed that they had
nothing left but to make the best terms they could
with the enemy. A parley ensued, in which it
was demanded of Gen. Bermudez, whether he would
adhere to that article of the treaty of Truxillo by
which the treatment of conquered places was regu-
lated, and being answered in the affirmative, they
declared themselves ready to meet them as friends.—
I hose adherents of the Spanish Government who
considered their safi.ty to be compromised, fled to La
Guyra, the sea-port to Caraccas, where they shipped
all the property they could collect on board the
ships in the harbour, and sailed for Poerto Cavell°.
The Governor and all the troops accompanied them.
His Majesty's ship Sapphire, which was lying at St.
Thomas's, sailed on the 23d of May for La Guayra
and Puerto Covello, for the protection of the British
property ut those places
The following is the conclusion of an article con-
cerning Buonaparte :—" History, which judges ins.
pattially, will acknowledge that Napoleon has ren-
dered eminent services to social order. ;The promul-
gation of the Codes by which we arc now governed,
notwithstanding the ninny imperfections of the Penal
Code, is a benefit which will not be lost fur gene-
rations to come ; one portion of Europe is already
deprived of it. We will not speak of that immense
military glory which is universally admitted ; the
improvements in the internal government, the public
works, the system of finance, possesses still higher
claims to admiration, Finally, now that Buonaparte
is dead, truth ought to repose upon his grave ; and
let us not be afraid to avow it, the exile of St.
Helena will be reckoned among the greatest of
murt:ds.

The government plunges itself, from day to day,
in greater embarrassment ; for, in spite of all re-
strictions, the expences are greater than the reve-
nue, because the soldiers swallow up such enormous
sums. It it true the King promised that our debts
should not increase, but this promise is, as you sec,
not worth more than his former one—to give us a
Constitution. A loan contracted by the Province
of Brandenburgh in time of war, has thrown the
government into a singular perplexity. The minis-
ters have no money to repay the loan ; they pro-
posed an agreement to the chief members of the
states of the province, which these members refuse
to enter into without the consent of their colleagues.
The government ought therefore to assemble the
states, but the ministers dare not run such a risk ;
they, in consequence, form schemes over and over,
to get money, but as it seems without effect. Se-
verAl people are detained in prison for more than
two years, without receiving sentence, which gives
you an idea how justice is administered in this
country.
