PROCLA3IATION.
" PEDRO A. HERRAN, IN lENDANT OF THE DEPARTMENT,

TO THE INHABITANTS or CUNDIMAKCA.
II Last night brought this city and the whole c,f tNe
republic to the brink'Of ruin! bitto be believed that
even here, in our very bosoms, villains should have ex•
ismd who would attempt to murder the Liberator ?
" Seduced by them, the brigade of artillery which
was in this city, and supported by this force, they in-
troduced themselves and spilt much blood, even in the
very house of his Excellency ; but PROVIDENCE was
pleased that Colonel Fergusor, and Colonel Joseph Bs-
liver, with a p4rt of the guard, should perish, the first
at the entrance of the palace, the second in the house of
the General Padilla, where he was on service. The Se-
cond Lieutenant Ibarra was wounded in the apartments
of the palace, as were several others. The 'Aerator,
to whose cabinet the assassins had penetrated, miracu•
lously saved himself. Several of the traitors have been
arrested, and those who have fled are pursued. The full
extent of their crimes will be discovered.

" The first squadron of Horse Grenadiers, and the
battalion of Vargas, conducted themselves during the
whole night with that zeal and enthusiasm which has
so often called (filth the praises even of the enemy.
"The Astillery commenced their parricidal proceed-
ing by pointing and discharging their guns against the
quarters of those troops whose valour .was only fired
by this attack. They soon put to flight the traitors,
and running through-the streets alone, or accompanied
by their office's, they congratulated one another on the
safety of the Liberator.
" His Excellency also visited all -parts of the city
during the night, and every where he received testimony
of the horror inspired in all by the crime meditated.
" Countrymen, friends, believe not that the authors
were Bogoiians. Horment is not— Carrijo is not; nor'
are those who diricted and commanded this band of
assassins. Bogota is faithful .to her vows, and grateful
to the Liberator. Bogota above all is Colombian.
" What would become of this republic if crime were
triumphant? We had lost our support, our bond of
union, our tutelar angel. Friends, let us give thanks
to the Most HIGH, who, in preserving the Liberator,
has preserved us all. " PEDRO A. lIERRAN."
BOGOTA, Sm. U.
"Simon Bolivar, Liberator, President of the Republic
of Colombia, &c. considering—
" 1. That the lenity with which the Government has
wished to characterize all its measures, has embodied
wicked men to undertake new and horrible attempts.
" 2. Even last night. the minim entrusted with the
preservation of order and government were attacked,
and the palace of the Government was converted into a
scene of bloodshed, which even threatened the life of
the Chief of the Republic.
" 3. That if crime is • not timely checked, and exam-
ples made of the evil-minded. they will shoofly effect
the dissolution and the ruin of the &ate.
"-That in such a case the Government would be ren-
dered culpable under the decree of the 27th August; in
whitb, for the advantage of the people; I restricted the
authority with which they had voluntarily invested me.
Therefore, on the proposition of the Council of State,
I decree—

" 1. From.this day forward I will use the authority
which the national vote has confided to me, with the
extension which circumstances may fdrce upon me.
" 2. The same circumstances shall fix the term of
the extension of this authority.
" S. In pursuance of which, the Council of State will
advise me of the measures which in its opinion the
public good requires, pointing out their greater or less
urgency.
" 4. Every Minato. Secretary of State in his ritspeetivi
department is charged with the execution of this decree..
" Given, lisped by my hand, and eamtaniped by the Minister
Secretary of State for the Department of the Interior, in Bogota,
September 26, 18211: w SIMON'BOLIVAR.
The Slinister Secretary of State for the Department of the
Interior, "J. MANUEL RESTREPO."
