motion took place in that city, One Of the
Regiments ofthe Garrison instigated by their
officers and several European Spaniards mu-
tinted, intending to sieze on the members
Of the present government, and send them to
Spain. The mob in great numbers instantly
orerawed the Regiment, took the instigators
prisoners, when tranquility was gradually re-
established To the honour of the people it
must be said, that although the confusion was
great, and every one armed with some des-
csiption of weapon, no blood was shed, nor any
