LIMA, August 1, 1926.
There has been many disturbances here,
/ am sorry to say, since the morning of
the 38th July. A plot had been formed to
either murder General Bolivar, or to ban
ish him und form new government, which
was to have been carried into effect on the
night the 28th July, but the General get
ting wind of it on the morning Of the 28th,
had the principal officers arrested secretly,
and at night he repaired to the theatre with
strong guard, 81 had a number of officers ar
rested there also-they are still arresting,
among them the heads Of the country, gen
erals, colonies, and civil officers, &c.
What will be the consequence, am una
able to say. If the plot had been carried
into effect, we must have had serious
time with the numbering and plundering by
the troops. No native is allowed to go out
side Of the walls Of the city, for fear ofsome
being implicated in the business of making
their escape. Us foreigners, of course, are
under no apprehension we 60 where we
please and are under no restriction. 1t is
expected number engaged in the plot will
be executed in a day or two in which case,
some fear complete revolution here will
be the consequence.
General Bolivar, fearing the Peruvians,
is sending all the cannon out of the coun-
try: he is even taking those from the cas-
ties, and sending them to Colombia. The
leaders in the conspiracy had their plans
fully laid, form of government agreed up
on, &c. but the particulars are not yet
known to us-a part was to disarm all the
Colombian troops here. Things at the
present moment are tranquil here, and for
eigners experience no danger, as their per-
sons and property are respected in ali ca
SEES. send you these hasty particulars to
let you know the political condition of the
country.
In addition to these two letters, we found
the following in Philadelphia paper,
which, if its statements are to be relied OF,
gives astill greater insight into the state of
public feeling.
Extract of letter from Lima, dated Ju-
ly 81, received by the Rebecca Sims, at
this port.
| am afraid that the war in this coun-
try is not at an end. The Peruvians are
getting to be disconnected with having so
large Colombian force in the country.
On the 2Sth instant, plot was discovered,
just at a moment when it was arriving at
maturity, to take the arms from the Colom-
ban army, and drive them from Peru, af-
ter killing Bolivar. Forty or fifty Peruvi-
an officers have been arrested on the sup
position of their having been concerned in
the conspiracy. Among these are three
generals, one of whom commanded the ar
my at the great battle and victory at Junin:
since which he has been toasted and car
essed on all hands. "Viva General M
cHocHIA'' was on the lips of every one.
Now, what change! On suspicion, he is
arrested; ahd, on suspicion, put into cell
in convent, in double irons, and with
guard. He is fine fellow, and the peo-
pie are fond Of him; but none dare say
word.
When Bolivar sent for him, he tried to
shame him but he had the wrong man to
deal with. I" General" said Bolivar, ST
am astonished to find a man Of your stand
ing connected with so pitifll a conspiracy
as this. Something more noble was ex-
pected from you." Nichochia answered:
am now sorry that did not know of
this attempt to revolt. Perhaps could
have done my country some service in it,
and relieved them from these Colom-
bans, who are taking the bread from
our mouths. And now, as I have an OPP
Portunity, | tell you that you have scarce a
friend in the country, and the quicker you
return the BETTER" This was language
