that a complete revolution took place there on
the 4th Of f february last by which the last

The E,:.opean officers who had before mann
tanned their influence, were undergoing their
trials when this vessel came away. The re-
vo!ution of Safe had also been completed,
and two deputies had left Carthagsna for the
general congress at Sta, Fc, 70" the purpose
of organizing the new government of the diz

chant of great influence had taken passage for
n York in the, schr. Argus, which sai;ed in
