In the pronunciamicnto the prov.nce of Carabobo invested General Castro, ite Governor, with full powers to calla convention 80 goon as Monagas should be overthrown, On the same day (the 5th) Puerto Cabello took up arms, and the same was done by the provinces of Rerquisimeto and all the western provinces. Also on the 5th Colone! Brito started from Caracas, and im the place called Lag Adjuntas took three hundred veterans who were working upon the road and went on with them to Victoria, a city where Castro was in waiting te march against Caracas. In Puerto Cabello seversl armed vessels appeared off the port on the 13th and kept it under blockade until the lth, after which it was unnecessary. Monagas could scarcely bring together 1,000 men to meet Castro, who was marching against him with 7,000 Finding bimeelf hopelessly lost, and, what is worse, hated, with the troops of Castro before him, the only block- aded, and unable to go to the castward (where brother Joes Gregorio was) because all the towns on the road re in arms, he determined to release himeelf in the best anver possible under the circumstances; and to thie end be sent bis rerignation to Con, on the 15th instant, at noon, but be was himself ly in the house of the French Minister at seven o'clock A.

In all other the most arbitrary oppression of despotic tyrangy weighed upon the people, and the Monagas family fleeced the poor country to such a degree that not even a drop of the public revenue was left for the amelioration of ite social condition and the improvement of its economical affairs. The entire administration of public affairs lies in the bands of that femity, and the manner in which them, is best ehown by the fact that on! within the last five millions ni of dollars have been sent by 't to Durope to serve icthe'u ture as a smal! indemn'fication for the eventual lous of its prerent power. ‘As another proof of the [bog e of the Monagas fami ly, the fact may be cited Madame Monages has for pin money alarger sum than any Eurcpean Qusen or 98.

PRELIMINARY BXAMINATION OF SMITH AND FITZPAT- RICK CONTINUBD—CHARLES DEVLIN ON THE STAND —MOTION TO DISCHARGE THE D¥FENDANTS. The preliminary examination of Smith and Fitzpatrick, charged with defrauding the city treasury of $10,000, waa resumed yesterday afternoon before the Recorder, in tha General Sessions. Counsel for the prosecution recalled Comptroller Flagg, and propounded the following quea- tions -—~ Q Do you know in whose possession the bonds of $5,000 each, and the one for $2,000 issued to Mr. Fitzpatrick, are ‘St this time? A. Ono of the original $5,000 bonde is in the Pore@@ion of Mr. Dykeman, of the Comptroller's office. Q. As to the other two, do you you know im whose pos- session they are? A. I do not, Q. Have you searched tho recorda in your office to aa- certain whether Mr. Fitzpatrick was at any time the aseigaee of the contract for sewers in Forty fourth street, or apy contract on that stroot? Obdjected to. ‘ Counsel for the prosecution wanted to show that the defendants had conspired to defraud the city treasury of @ much larger sum than $10,000. Counsel for the accused replied in an eloquent snesch, arguing that his Honor had decided on Saturday that an inquiry into the check in question was not pertinent to the izaue. ‘The Recorder, after perusing the affidavit upon which the defeadants were arrested, decided that the investiga- tion must be confined to the $10,000 frand, notwitnatand- ing the accused parties may have defrauded the tweauury of other large sums. Charies Devin was then called, and, after being sworn, testified as followa:— Q. You claim to he Street Commissioner of the city of New York? A. 1 believe I am. Q Did you ever neo tuat warrant before? Objected to, as, accerding to his Honor’s ruling, is bad nothing to do with the caso, Counsel for the prosecution—It won’t poison him, The Recorder sustained the objection. On the counsel for the accused calling the prosecution Counsel for the prosecution rejoined, by saying that if there war any infamy connected with the affair, it waa to be attributed to the other side. Counsel for the prosecution offered to prove the follew- ing:—1 offer to prove that a warrant, drawn by the troller, end signed by the Mayor and Clerk of mon Qouncil, under date Nov. 11, 1867, for filled up by ith, one of the parties charge’ payable to John Fitzpatrick, the other party assignee, came into the hands of the witness, Fitzpatrick or Smith, and that etther Fitzpatrick or authorized the witness to,and he did the name of John Fitzpatrick; and that that 8 name, certided did eo endorse it, and the endorsement of Fitzpatric me, nature correct and put his name thereunder; Deviin deposited 1} to bis own credit in the Broad’ Bank. ‘Couneel for the defendants interrupted counsel, ing that the propositions of the gentieman had been out, and bis recital of them, when published, would tend to defame Mr Deviin in the eyes of the commanity. It was evident to all that this prosecu: spiracy against Mr. Devlin, and an {itustration of that could be seen in the arrost of the Deputy Street Commis- ae em for: hee replied, by stating that hie jor the prosecution y object was to meet an argument which tbe defence would undoubtedly employ in summing up the cass, namely, that the chargo of defrauding the treasury of $10,000 wee dircounected other charger. His Hovor overruled the offer, on the ground that the complainant having charged only ove specific offence for $10,000 on the Forty ninth street contract, comse- satay ee anewer ts oy Seam was not pertinent to ¢ issue. Counse! for the prosecution destred to have this ques- tion placed on the record which he put to Mr. Flagg, and which was overruled. Q. Had Mi As assignee, Forty fourth street, or the assignment of any claims for apy moneys usder any contract for sewers in Forty- fourth street? gets tia i r ass a6ei8 and Fitzpatrick the mode charged; and secondly, that there was more overt acts committed by them, or either of them, fome perron in parsvance of their authority, for the pur- yea of corsummt this conspiracy. There was no evi- defendants conspired together to defrand the city treasury, nor was there any testimony to sbow ony overt act on the part of either of them to obtain the $10.000 in question pee Counrel affirmed that, under the charter passed 14th of April, Mr. Fiagg ‘was just as liable to be indicted for a crime as any person contained these wors—‘‘all moneys drawn vouchers for the ex- from the treasury shall be pap py at (Counc! east the evidenne showed thet warrante on the mere statement of Mr. Smith. Counsel for the prosecution repli there was abundant infercntial pa Bg ara Smith and Fitzpatrick. Wi Brannigan went to get m street contract what was duc aad could have no object in pation the figure “1” fore the “2" unless he the fraudulent sam wou'd go into the bands of Fitzpatrick, there might not be evidence enough to convict the fendanta, yet there was sufficient to hold them the action of the Grand J and have their innocence or guilt determined by a jury.
