Dn Monday last the emnmtittder in chief was inform

the cniitpi racy * should rise, and. assisted by n hdy I
guerrillas which were to enter the city at a certain hour,
make the attack.' During the day the commander in

designated rallving points for the different regiiuenis,and
made every disposition mces^ary to defeat the iusuriee

sin ets show mg that the w hole population had a know !

dopicd, it is sitp|x*scd, prevented an attempt to execute
the plan. Tim projectors of lim insurreetion were eitht r
I blind t • tin' • flVts of their plan, or foreseeing them, must
have hi'cn utterly reckless as to the consequences which
would result to iheirow n countrymen; f*r, if the attempt
had been made, there is not an « Ulcer in the armv, tint
