ANOTHER REVOLUTION IN VENEZUELA.
by the arrival of the bark Venus, from Curacao
we have intelligence Of another revolutionary move
Msnt having taken place a. Villa Cora, Venezuela,
in favor of General Paez. The outbreak has, 10
doubt, been caused by desire TO anticipate the
Presidential election in August, which, being
limited by the despotism OF the government to the
choice Of the brother OF General Monagas, leaves
10 other option to the popular party than to assert
by force their right to voice in the matter. II is
thought that the movement will be successful, as
many OF Monagas' former adherents had deserted
him and joined the Paez party. General Juan Gar
so is at the head of the insurgents and has about
one thousand elective troops under his command.
The government had only been able to bring about
shree hundred into the field. The Evolutionary
party had received large supplies Of arms and am.
munition from Curacao.
