TO set up another in his place. The late
ministers had traced out all these machi-
nations, and it was on that account that
their going out of office was proclaimed
as triumph by the evil disposed. But
the plans of the conspirators have hither-
to proved abortive, in consequence Of the
excellent spirit of the army and the ma
tional militia.
"Among the documents in support of
this report is a plan of counter revolu-
ton, in the hand writing of Vinuesa, and
one of his cousins. This plan was to be
communicated only to the king, the In
FAINT Don Carlos, the Duke del lnfanta
do, and the Marquis of CASTELAR,. The
King was to be prevailed on to convoke
suddenly all the late Ministers, the Cap
tain General, and the Counsellors of
State, and when they were assembled
Don Carlos, was to enter with part of
! the body guards, and arrest them ALL
The Duke del Infantado was to place him
self at the head of battalion of the guards
cautioned at Leganes which, was the
Princes regiment, the Colonel OF which
was favorably disposed, was to occupy
the city gates and the public places
These troops were then to instigate the
people to call Religion and the King!"-
and Death to the CONSTITUTIONS A new
municipal guard was to he Immediately
formed to march in procession to Consti-
tutional square, and pull down thelapida
IA stone erected in comnemoration OF the
establishment of the Constitution.) No
person was to be allowed to leave Madrid,
but couriers and detachments were be
sent to the provinces with the necessary
orders, &c.
"With regard to the Liberals, they
we're, according to Vinuesa's plan to be
all arrested, and divided into three clas-
ses. Those of the first class were to be
capitally punished, as guilty of high trea-
SON: those of the second to be banished or
imprisoned; those of the third were to be
pardoned.
"With regard to the afrancesados, cor
responding measure were to be adopted.
Vinuesa afterwards mentions the Bishop
of Ceuta as fit person to draw up kind
of justifcatory manifesto. Every thing
was to be established on the footing of
1920, except that the King would con-
woke Cortes formed of States General,
Estamentos.) Vinuesa observes, 'Thers
are inconvenience as well as advantages
in this plan. The lives of his Majesty
and Con Carlos may be put to hazard;
but they must trust to Divine Providence,
and show that they are capable of Drawing
danger, and worthy of welding the scep-
tire.
"The report states that the two mill
tary corps, on the CO operation of which
the whole plan depended, do not in any
respect participate in the sentiment of
Vinuesa.
"The Committee afterwards propose to
the Cortes to thank the army and the mi
litia for their faithful attachment to the
Constitution; to hasten the report on the
prompt administration of justice; to ac-
CELEBRATE the sale ofnational property, and
the suppression of converts; to call upon
the government to submit plan of gen.
eral security and police; to require from
the political chiefs of the provinces in
formation respecting the conducts of the
Bishops"
The Cortes ordered the report to be
printed, and to be sold to the public at
low price. A secret sitting afterwards
took place.
