city have received an official account signed
by the Governor Of that place, stating that
he had received information Of the discovery
by the President Of a conspiracy at Bogota on
the night OF the 23d July. Measures were
Immediately taken by him TO arrest those
concerned In It. Col. Jose Manuel Montoya,
military chief Of the province, was ordered
to apprehcnd an individual named Arizona,
whose previous conduct had given cause 10
suspect him. While conducting Arizona TO
prison, Montoya was assAssinaied by him in
the street. His accomplices, sixty in num-
Der. thinking their plan discovered, that night
fled from the capital on the road to Tunja.
They were however, all made prisoners by the
Governor OF that place, with the exception
OF five individuals, on the 26th. Among the
number was the above named. Arizona. Or
dor was again restored.
Capt Briggs states that misunderstand-
ing had arisen between one Of the authorities
OF Carthagena and the French Consul, NJ
Barrot, who was in consequence confined in
prison, but his liberation was momentarily
expected. A French schooner Of war was
IN the harbor, on che point of sailing for Mar.

she was accos,ed by young man, Zone Of her
countrymen.) who, after walking few steps
by her side, demanded Of her whether she
would marry him. She answered No. The
young man retreated a step OF two, pulled a
pistol from his pocket, aud shot the unfortu-
nate object Of his affection In the back. He
was promptly seized aud committed 20 pfi-
son, and the wounded body taken 10 the
house of DR.. Allen, IN Ann street. The wound
appears to have been made with duck shot
the whole charge entered the left shoulder
about equi-distant from the vertebre aud the
arm, Co which direction may be imputed the
escape OF the victim irons immediate death,
~ the muzz!e Of the pistol was not probably
more than two inches from her body. The
report Of the pistol Indicated that Il had been
heavily charged, ss the assassin unique stioua-
| bly, intended TO do his business ehertuslls.
The writer Of this saw the wounded lady last
evening, and again this morning, and with
