14 We have had many and strange political occur-
Fences since last I wrote you. A most horrid con
Spirecy of the Europeans was discovered, on the
very eve of its being pet in `etecittiott. Alzaga, so
notorious in the annals of Buenos Ayres, was' at the
head of it, and, had success attended it, was to haie
been declared Vice Roy. A general and indiscri-
minate massacre.was to have taken place of all the
Creoles, wlv should refuse to take the oath of alle-'
giance to him ; the plot was so general, that very
tew-Eueopeans escaped being implicated in it, either
through inclination, or from threats from Alzaga.
They were discovered by a Negro, whom they at-
tempted to bring over-to their yteivs, on which they
attempted to escape, but most pf the principal ring-
leaders were discovered in thelr hiding places, ahho'
some must have got ow to Monte Video.
