BLIENOt; AVRE§ PAPERS:

PROCLAMATION BY THE SUPERIOR. 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:

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

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

haVe been east, and they are now moulding some
culverins. .
