BITENO.4 AYRES, JULY 10.
DETAILS oeTrie l'eor.--A considerable number
of European Spaniards in this capital prepared, un-
der an oath of secrecy, a conspiracy, formed on the
most horrible plan, and of whith posterity will' not
read without trembling. They had taken their mea-
sures for a rising on one of those nights when the
negligence or confidence of the military detachments
best promised •a fortunate result. The direction of
• the plan was entrusted to the Spaniard Martin Al-
saga, of whose turbulent and daring character we
have had repeated proofs. For this purpose;-they
I had formed their companies and regiments of infana
try, with corresponding officers. - The Bethli mite,
Father Jose de las Animas, had the chief command
oh the cavalry. -,:he Hospital of Convalescents 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 assis-
tance of all the di,bincied Spaniards, the latter were
to he entrusted with the custody of all the principal
points, while arms were to be put into the hands of
the conspirators most distinguished for their valour-
Sind skill. Numerous patrol-es were next to be de-
&cited, for the purpose of surprising such of ours as
they might meet in the streets, and ;vetting posses.
sion of their arms. The cavalry was destined to .
surprise the park of artillery and scour the outside of
the walls, that nothing-might escape. Tice infantry .
were to surprise the head-quarters of the artillery and
of the civic regiments ; from thence they were to
march and take the fort, with which view, they laid
a plan to get the Fort Major.out of his-house, and
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 storm, The
enterprize was to be carried into effect at two in the
morning; and as soon as it was day, they were to •
make signals to -the marines, for the purpose of sup- .
,plyirig the assistance agreed upon. To prevent aux'.
lorbvement on the. part of the Americans, they was
issue .
•to a proclamation, threatening death to every
native wbp should leave his house, and to every
European Spaniard who did not join them with all
the arms in his possession. When success was ob-
tained,
all the Members of the Government, the Ma-
gistrates, the principal American citizens, and the *
Spaniards most attached to the present system, were
to be seized and shot. The capital was.to be go-
yerned by the author of. the conspiracy, Martin
Alzap, without acknowledging any dependence on
the Governor of Monte Video till the decision of the
. Cortes ; for the grand object. was to restore the as-
tendency of the Spaniards, and to replace the Ames
ticans in a situation a thousand times snore servile
than their former one.—Such' was the plan, as ap-
pears from the trial of the conspirators). but Goo,
who always • watches over the good, provided the
Means of discovery, at the moment when it was about
_to be reaiized. One of the conspirators. incautiously
disclosed himself in the presence of a slave. This
' fortunate ;nth, alive to the dictates of reason and
humanity, communicated what be had heard to a
' person in whom he'had confidence, and in this way
is reached the knowledge of the Government.. The
conspiracy being discovered, after the first investiga-
tioes, three of the chief conspirators were seized, shot,
' and exposed to public view. The traitor Alzages
as soon as he beard the news, Bed from his house,
with the view of escaping, but soon fell into the
hands of justice, and has been rewarded for his hors
rible -times by condign punishment.
The wickedness of these men could only be equalled
by the heroic *nthusiasm of the people of Buenos
Ayres. No sooner was the discovery made public, .
than they took up arms and ran
.to their quarters,
determined to save the country, or periu]k.sioneusly,
in its defence.
