Imprisonment of certain leading characters, hero
t,fore connected with Mo,agas, and who were sps-
pested ofbeng concerned N an extensive conspi
racy TO overthrow the prcseat administration. On
the 18th Of last month, th.y were discharged for
want Of proof. While in jail, General Briceho and
the other prisoners were visited by large numbe
of citizens and many societies, who sympathise&
with them. General Bri,eho has, since his re-.
lease, published a manifesto against Menagas,
charging him with acts Of tyransy and corruption
1t is strong exposition Of the conduct Of Monagas
and his cabinet, and has been extensively read; buh
Monagas has not ventured prosecution, as q
jury could not now be found to convict. Francisco
Amanda, the present Secretary Of the Interior and
by far the ablest supporter, till now Of the admi-
nstratiop, is suspected by Nonagas of disaaectisn
to his government, and his dismissal from Office is
now daily expected.

a description Of the reception of Gea neral Paes in
| Washington, and Of the highly honorable testime-
mails Of regard which that disting patriot has
received from the leading statesmen and characters
of the United States As might have been ex-
pected, the order Of onagas has proved insufficient
to suppress the circulation of the pamphlet, for
although the copies imported at Laguayra have
been sent back several other copies have been re-
ceived through other ports of the rebublic. The
'reeeution has been re- printed here and it il nov
