PIiItNAMBUCCI. JuNz 29.—We have been in a considerable state of alarm, in consequence of the discovery of a conspiracy, which had for its object the formation of a RepublicattGovernment, the murder of the General, and other authorities. The Custom House was to have been burnt, and the town given up to plunder. Fortunately tranquillity has not been disturbed; and, as there have been several imprisonments, things will go on as usual. Several prisoners, from vessels captured by the privateer, were put on shore here on the 15th instant ; amongst them the master of the Novo Triumfo da Inveja, who states, that he was taken two days after sailing from Rio GI ande do Sul, and that he supposes his b,i3, wish other prizes, was unt to the Island of St. Thomas.  DREADrur. Firm—Between one and two o'clock this morning, a very alarming fire broke out upon the premises of Mr. JACKSON, corn dealer, Rotherhithe-lane, which in a few minutes spread throughout the premises, and before any adequa e means could be used to check its progress, burned the house down to the ground and damaged some premises in the rear. No accident to life occurred.  Yesterday morning. between ten and twelve o'clock, the house of Mr. Anderson, surgeon, Great St. Thomas Apostle, was entered by the street-door by some of those lurking rascals who watch every opportunity to commit depredations. The c.nly loss sustained on this occasion was the usual silver things used at the breakfast-table, consisting of five or six teaspoons, sugar-tongs, salt spoons, a butter-knife, Acc. In the same apartment from which the thief succeeded in extracting the above. was other plate more valuable, only co►ered over by a green baize cloth.  .
