On Monday last the commander in chief was inform
cd of movement designed here attack the quarters Of
the ofl ers Of the army. and, if possible 10 the them
prls oners or kill them. The plan was. that the popua
lion, much OF il could be induced 10 take part
the conspiracy. should rise, and assisted by hdy t
guerrlas which to the city a certain hour
make the attack. During the day The commander in
chef Informed all the chel officers uflhe intended attack,
designated ra,ng points Tor the different regimen s,and
made every disposition necessary 10 defeat the nsurrec
ton. Al night scarcely MeNicau could be in the
edge Of what was to be attempted. The precautioh a

the plan The projectors "i the insurrecilon either
hnd L, the fleets o Their plan ioresesng them
have been utterly reckless the consequences which
would result To their own connrymen; for, If the sttcmpi
had been made. there is officer IN the arny not
excepting the commander in chief himself, who could
have restrained the troops from sacking the city. Dn
nng the night Lieut. Baker, of the 9Th Indiana regimen
commanding paifoe came In sight ofwo the
Plaza Spu narIu t
OF which. containing one hundred stand Of arms he cap
tured; the other he was unable Ia come mp with before

the names OF the parties who originated The plot, moi
do mol know; but 1t Is pretty well understood that the
chief conspraors among the soldiers of the Mexican
army. Who assumed citizens dress When army

may reveal in relation TO the matter.
You will, perhaps, learn before this reaches you. of

determination Of Col Chidsnpped IN the bud
