CONSPIKACY IN BARCELONA. 



On April the .'ithaplan was laid 

 for a conspiracy in the city of Bar- 

 celona, which, from the persons 

 engaged in it, had the appearance 

 of a deeply laid plan for effecting 

 some impoitant change in the 

 state. The purpose was no less 

 than the re-establishment of the 

 Cortes and the constitution ; and 

 the princij)al persons concerned 

 were the generals Lacy and Milans, 

 who had disting\iished themselves 

 in the late war against the usur- 

 pation of Buonaparte. Just before 

 its intended eruption, the govern- 

 ment obtained knowledge of the de- 

 sign ; and the Cjiptain-gen. of the 

 province made public the follow- 

 ing account of the transaction : —

 appears to have been formed by

 in which are implicated Generals 

 Lacy and Milans, who, at a former 

 period had rendered signal ser- 

 vices to their country, was to be 

 executed on the .5th at night. 

 The ol)jectof the conspirators was

 restore the abolished constitution, 

 and to deprive me of the authority 

 entrusted to me by the King.
