of July to the beginning of August, the city of Buenos .fees
was in a state of the titmost commotion. lite cause of this

prising the lira class of merchants,) were made prisonets, of
whom Q 5 were shot. The following extract of a letter
contains some of the particulars cf these unhappy oe-

who ltad accumulated a large foie me at Buenos Ayres
His chief assistants were Telechea Francisco Valdepares, and a monk
named Jose de las Animas. They had provided 13)0 stand of arnii.

and the military guards in (afferent parts of the city, were to be sur-
prised at one and the same moment. They were then to attack the
fortress. It was planned that a party should secure the Fort 14,110 r,
and compel him to open the principal gate, 4t which SOU of the
epirators were to be ready to enter. They Had prepared false keys to
open the sally pow, and 400 were to enter on that sate. Theuly . attem
