The conspirators succeeded to bribe this brigade, and to make it the nucleus-of their operations. In pursuance of their plans which had been concerted in a6ecret meeting held at 8 a'clock of the same evening, a part of the artillery was to attack the pa!ace,another part the barrack of Vargas and another.the grenadiers.

Morment himself mortally wounded three pentinels, and accompanied by the others he ascended the upper apartments, where, notwithstanding this,, young Lieut.

The attackon these barracks had com menced as soon as news had been received of that on the palace, and was directed by the Cammandant Silvia by placing a piece of ordnance against the gate; but the guard sustained their post with firmness, and assisted by the soldiers of the same battalion, who from the upper windows fired upon the aggressois with some of the little ammunition which they had, beat back the conspirators, took their camion and pursued them in all directions.

opening the goal on that morning, he was found in great agony. He had taken a large quantity of opium on Sun-

day,,as he slatedabout five o'clock in the afternoon.

The account he gave of the quantity

he had taken, and the mode in which he

had obtained it, were quite unsatisfactory. His statement was that he purchased quarter of a pound in Mew York, about two months ago; that he had used it habitually in small quantities since; that he took all he had on hand, which was a piece but little larger than a pea. To his physician he said he (ook an ounce. He lingered until Tuesday, morning when he died. A letter direct

We feel no disposition to boast over a fallen opponent; we would rather heal the breaches of friendship that a warm political canvass has produced ; but ifwe are beaten, we ask for no compassion from our enemies, only on the ground of human fallibility; for we believe that we arc right in our political foith, and defeat and disappointment can neither induce
