Whether the bogus proo • lunation was concerted 44 one of the !mediation, or whether another person based it upon 'their now's, is not yet officially known. It Ls fair to infer, however. that either some member of the above MO elation. was the author of the hogas proclama tion, or that some person ,connected with them, knowing the fact that a toll was about to be mode l wrote the pioclamation upon pre— dietimus furnished, by their dispatches.
