PROCLAMATION.
TO The Inhabitants Of C~nadiaamarcd.
Lasi night, this City and the whole Republic
were on the brink Of rum. Can il be believed
Even here. in our own bosom, there hare been
miscresnts who have attempted The life Of the
Liberator
Having seiuced the brigade of Artillery that
was in this city, and, supported by lis force, they
introduced themselves aud made considerable
slaughter even in the house Of his Escelleney.
But II pleased Providence that only Col. William
Furgu on aud Joseph Bolivar, with a parI of the
guard. lost their lives the former a, the en-
trance Of the palace, the latter in the house OF
General Psdilia, where he was on duty. Tie
sub-Lieut. Ibarra was wounded in the saloon Of
the palace, rs were also several others. The III
beraloi, TO whose bed chamber the nssassins pc
nerrated, escaped Hliiacuiously, and without any
injury.
Several ofthe traitors have been appre-
hended, and pursuit Is making atter the fagi-
tives the crime will be discovered in its whole
extent.
The irs, squadron Of Horse Grenadiers, and
the battalion Of Vargas, conducted themselves
lhrous bout the night " iIh the zeal and enthusi-
asn. that have SO often estorted praise from the
enemy. The artillery commenced its infamous
parricide by poIoting cannon and dischsrging
them against the quarters o fthuse corps, but the
attack exaspeisied those brave men. They very
soon put TO flight thetraitors. and, running swift
iy through all the streets. alone or accompanied
by ofic rs, they hailed each other on meeiing,
coDgratulaiing themselves that the Llber ator Was
safe.
His Excellency also wen, through the city, nd
visited Ill The posts IN the eou,se of The mig lt,
and every where saw and received proofs oithe
horror that every one felt at The medltn,ed in

A letter from Mexico states, that the Mexican

appears to be, " that the American Minister is

If taking measures for a re conquest OF the coun-

luIe of Vern Cruz, whose stupid fana icisin and
his own innocence he %uiumphanily exposed and

that the present charge of his intermeddllng in
the Internal concerns of the country, is fully as
unjust and uniounded as the former. Indeed,
the charge Of his Icing a ttibed agent of iht
