Lan, &e . had rworn to firike out a plan of Govern, Trent, and make it be believed that it came 'from ii)nie Gentleman, and none but there five perfons to know from whence it came.—Nothing to this ate/ w is agreed upon, and a plan of Governinen in-cipofed by John Francis was rejeded. is being too ar!i:rary john Pike, antong other faits, depoted, hnviiig been at a meeting when John Francis pulled out of his pocket a kind of rofe, with a &Publican button in the centre of it, which he pinned on Isis breaft : the rofe was made of cloth of red. green. and White colours; the button was brats; on yr/deb was reprefented a pole furmounted by a Cap of Liberty. Robert Toosfinfoi, a (oldies. in the guards, was it a meeting in WindmillAreet, at which Mac iiamara was prefent, who Paid, 41 That the nation was in a very bad fituatioa indeed, and wanted to be like France, with no king ; they would kill the king, and then this nation would be the fame as France." Witnefs was liked to fign his name in a book, to be of " A Free and Eafy Society." 8a.04 a private of the ill Regiment of Life Guards, depofed to John Francis's having at tempted to reduce him to the affociation, ancing him what he had to rA T againfi joining a good vo lunteer party for " Freedom and Liberty ?"—ad ding, that it would " make a Gentleman of him ; for; as he belonged to the Cavalry, he would be made a General of, and receive the command of so or 12,000 men"—Francis added, "that a re duaion was shortly expefted in the regiment, when moll of the men, it was hoped, would join the So ciety." The witnefs laid, that fuck a plan did not correfpond with his principles, and cautioned the prifoner Francis, how he mentioned fuels a thing, for, if overheard, he would be hanged. Francis re. plied, that if the witnefs had any fpirit, he would repair with him to Adams's Mews, and be (worn in.. Nothing more of a material nature occurred. yob' Ernblim, in his depofition, advanced the following new matter applicable to the trial then Occupying the Court. He laid that Broughton', on giving him force papers or Conflitution Cards, defcribed them as fignals by which to know their friends, and that thole who Were not polkaed of them, or not known by a private fign to be friends, would be put to death : that fign was expreffed by putting the hand over the brow of the face on one fide fo as to figure a tree, and bring it down at the other. It was indicative, he Paid, of the " Tree of Liberty." Witnefs did not know the soonter•fign. The witnefs here correfted a part of the evidence relating to Graham, which he had given on a former day. The witnefs having in a converfation about the Society, fald to Graham— a I did not know that you were of thofe princi ples." " No snore am I," Paid Graham. " but I with to go and fee the humour of it." This eor teftion of his evidence, the witnefs conlidered a neceffary aft of jutlice to Graham.:—At the Fly ing Honk, Newington, when Col. Defpard men tioned the attack intended on the King, and the acceffion of foldiers to the plot, witnefs faid— " You'll never perfisade the foldiers to give up their dear Du ke"(meaning his Royal Higlinefs the Duke of Voltz).—" Oh ! won't they, laid Broughton, bere is one who can tell you ; afk him :" on which Windfor Paid, ,4 You'll fee." The witnefs, after repeating the defign of (educing perfons at the Warren, Woolwich, Paid, that Broughton and Graham profelfed to have gone thither for that purpofe, after which witnefs law Graham, who told him they had gone on a fool's errand, not having found the man neceffitry to their purport t Graham mentioned that Broughton and he went into a public houfe, where they met fcveral perfons, uncommonly ripe for their airociation, but blamed Broughton, and called him a fool for blurting out his principles too loon, as, had he not blabbed, they 'would have known thole people better. In this converfation Graham Paid that the projeft of taking the Tower was very injudicious, becaufe gun boats could be brought up to batter the Tower about their ears ; and, as to the Bank, he thought they fliould not meddle with it fu loon ; the fira objeft fhould be to fecure St. James's, and the Bank ought, at moll, be but a fifth confideration.— Speaking of being at a lots for a regular plan of taboo, G. laid, that the plan fhould he to knock down London bridge.and have loaded colliers funk errors the Thames, to prevent vet Tels from coming up the river : he did not approve of the Parlia ment-Houle as the place for attacking the King, as there was always a private guard in Goy Vaxx's cellar ; or, if the attack was to be made there, it fhould tale place juft as he fhould come out of the Houfe, when, at the fame time, they fhould " , 12 every b—r (meaning the Members) as they r trne out." He further laid, that he had fettled s affairs and colleCted his debts againa the day of attack, and had, to guard againa failure, deilroy ed his papers. He mentioned what fire arms he had at home. if necelfary ; that he would go fee the attack as a (peftator, and if things fhould go rinfavourabk, that he would retnrn home, but if' they happened to go on well, " damn him if he would be idle I He Cud, be bad sot beta (worn, though he had no Objetlion, to far as to fecreci but not to aftion, ind he would not be (worn in the prefence of a third perfon. He Aced witnefs if he bad been (Worn ? who reply ing that he bad not, Graham (aid, take care, for asfaras we have gone, we are guilty of hightreafon. Witnefs detailed a converfation with the prifoner Lander, when the latter afcribed his allbciation in the plot, to the tcazing influence of Brough ton, making nfe of thefe words on the occation " Broughton the villain will not let me alone." Witnefs Aced Lander what he thought of Gra. ham (of whole real principles the witnefs had tome doubt from an occafional indecifion and apparent difinclination to the plot)—Laader replied, " al! I can fay of Graham is, that he belonged to the London Correfponding Society, when I was a Member of it." Nothing new tranfpired in the fueceeding part of this witnefs's evidence, which concluded what tnaterially bore on the cafes before the Court, or wore any feature of novelty which could intereft our Readers. We mull beg our Readers to correet one miflake which we find in our report of the verdiS of the Jury. John Francis was mentioned as recom mended to mercy, which was not the cafe.
