In my letter Of the 26h, gave you some
account of the political slate of the country,
aud now add these few lines in elucidalion
thereof.
II appears tba, the attack which was
made on the Chamber OF Representatives
by the people and militia was provoked by
variety oil circumstances. In the first
place, some two hundred of the young men
Of the city had armed themselves. aud gona
10 the convent OF st. Francis, in which the
Congress was assembled, with the object
OF supporting the faction which was desir.
Gus OF deposing the President.
On the 2ilh, in the morning, Tomas
Jose SAVANNA, the minister for the home
department, went To the Chamber with the
Presidents message, when Two oi the fac.
lion threatened 10 take his iiie-one OF them
drawing dirk. and the other presenting a
pistol at him.
Upon this being known in the street, the
people and a pafl ul the armed militia ad.
yaneed to the door of the Congress, when
one oil the parties from within fired and
shaI down one Of the people. which so pro.
yuked them that "a general attack was made
upon the Chamber OF Representatives, with
the result already stated.
The President, military chiefs. and civil
authorities, Immediately rushed 10 the scene
Of strife, and by their energy and resolution
saved the lives Of hundreds of persons.
On the following day. the 25th, the Con.
gress assembled again as usual, and passed
general amnesty for all political crimes
and offences committed since the year lsjO,
which being published on the 27lh instant,

There are, however, a few indiyd 1als,

When he had quilted the chateau. the
