Nothing of the contents of theii difpatches can tranfpire till after the Cabinet bas had them under difeuffion ; but the natur, of difpatches may fometimes be gathered from the operations of certain Stock Brokers known to be the agents of particular people, who ftom their fituation may be fuppofed to have tome opportunity of knowing their complexion. Judg ing by this criterion,ontne prefent occafion, the dif patches may be confidered as holding out but little hope of a fpeedy adjuftment of differences be tween this country and France ; for the 3 per Cents. which, at one o'clock, were at the pricc Bated in our Stock Lift, inflantly fell to 6al for money, and 631 for account.

YORK, MARCH Sk tox.—William Lee (aged ) and frilliar Rouic/ley, both of Sheffield, for having, between September, alc 1, and Chrillmas laft pall, feloni oufly adminiftered an oath to William Simmtt, of Chellerfield, collier, to engage in an afrociation or confpiracy, formed for the purpofe of ditturb ing the public peace. Mr.Torelr,c hated the charges in the indift ment, upon which Serjeant Coe KELL, in the moll elegant and imptellive fpeech, addrefTed the Jury ; after hating the Aft of Parliament of the 33th of the prefent reign, upon which the felony charged in the indiftments was founded, he took notice of the recent trials for High Treafon, and congratu lated the country upon the difcovery of one of the moll atrocious fchemes for the overturning of our blelTed and happy Conflitution ; but by the vigi lance and promptitude of Government, thofe fehemes have been fruftrated, at the very moment they were upon the point of breaking out with all their neceffirry attendants of rapine, bloodfhed, and every devaftation deltruelive to civil and well re gulated fociety. The firft witnefs called on the part of the Crown was William Simfey, a collier, aged it years, brother in law to the prifoner, Roukefley, lived near Chettei field. The whole of his evidence! is too long for us to infert in_ our Paper, but we will endeavour to give the fdbflance of it, with as much accuracy as our limits will admit. About! a twelvemonth ago, WI Oftober, be Rated to have I been folicited by the prifoner, Roukefley, to be.; come a member of their fociety ; he was told that ; it would be better for him ; that thole who would nage), would be made to go ; that if any fell in the conteft, there was provifion made for their wives and families ; that they were to fight againft any that came againft them; that the prifoner Roukefley told witnefs there were more than too° in Sheffield; that the prifoner, Roukefley, was what was called a conduelor ; that the prifoner, Lee, what was called a Chief ; that the witnefs, his brother, and the prifoner Roukefley, at the requeft of the prifoner Roukefley, went to the pri. loner Lee's honk, when an oath was adminiftered to witnefs and his brother by Lee ; did not recol lett the whole of the oath, but recollefts that they were fworn to keep the ferrets of the fociety ; that Roukefley told the witnefs the objeß of the fociety was to overturn Parliament, to make this a free na tion, and to rule themfelves ; that that freedom, anethofe objelts, were to be obtained by fighting. Witnefs underftood there were five chiefs in Shef- ' field, the number of thole called conduftors he did not know ; that in Anguft laft, the prifoner, 1 Roukefley, gave orders to a man of the name of I Ram&er, to make fame pikes; that he, the fame I prifoner, told witnefs, that they had received or ders to prepare arms ; that he, the prifoner, Ron- ' kefley, laid, he Gould prepare arms for his own men ; that the prifoner Roukefley, witnefs, and his brother, went to a wood near Sheffield, and cut fome wood for pike wafts ;.that he heard the prifoner Roukefley fay, ,that a letter had been in tercepted at the Poll Office from London, which had led to a difcovery ; that in confequence of that difcovery, it was necefary to fecrete the arms; ' that in confequence the what'll, his brother, WI liam Rooney, and Thomas Frede, went to a woad near Sheffield, after having previoufly put the arms in a cite% and buried the cheft in the ground; that he was afterwards taken up ;Ault he gave information to the Magi ftrate before whom he was taken, of all he knew ; that he afterwards went with the Conftable to the. place where this box, with its contents, had been fecreted, and that it was taken from its place of concealment. Edward Simley (brother of the laft witnefs) corroborated the preceding evidence, but added thereto, that the prifoner Roukefley faid,we mean to take poffelifion of the barracks (meaning the barracks near Sheffield) that we will make the foldiers prifoner, take their arms from them, and afterwards come and take poffeffion of the town. Thomas Ramfker proved, that the prifonet, Roukefley, cattle to him and ordered arms of a certain conitruftion, which he, the witnefs, did not underhand, until the prifoner Roukefley brought him one that was made. The box containing thofe inftrumenu of deftruftion was produced to him, but he would not pofitively fwear that they were of his making. There inftruments are abaft three times the faze of a carving knife blade, but edged on both fides like a dagger. There were three or four other witneffes called to corroborate the former evidence. The judge. in a molt impreffive manner, rum. med up the evidence, and after pointing out to the Jury the bleflings every honeft and peaceable man enjoyed under our happy and valuable Coaltits non ; he contraßed the charafter and happinefs of loch men, with the charaaer, and the wild and mifcrable imagination of the prifoners at the bar. The Jury immediately pronouncedthe prifooers guilty. The Learned judge, upon paling the lenience of the law upon the prifoners, pointed out to them, in the molt folemn manner ' the enormity of their crime, of which they had been found guilty, as I well refpeEting their aging fo contrary as good members of an eftabli&ed Government, but alto as violating thofe principles upon which true re ligion is founded ; namely, charity. will to- 1 wards each other and peace all mea.— , The Learned ju dge obferved.that if their fchemes had been carried into eft& civil Rickey would at once have been deftroyed ; every happinefs of which this country in particular can boat of; all chafe (acted ues which at once unite us in civil teeny, and make ut feel and pradife the benefi cence of religion, would at once have become d.• Rroyed in the vortex of their premeditated men fare% but that the interference of Divans Pam. nun, he truMed, bad put an end to their mali. close efforts. _ _ The (menet of feven years tranfportation was then paled upon them.

It ap. peared alto from the evidence of die profecuter. that a time was appointed to meet the prifoner at a public houfe in Sheffield upon the bufinefs ; that they did 'accordingly meet, and that the prifoner wrote a lettcr, and read it over to the profecutor, in the prefince of three other perfons, who were then prefent ; that the prifoner put the notes into the letter, and direfted it to Meffrs.

Cox and Greenwood was read i in Court, and all the witneffes were pofitive that the letter fo produced was not the fame letter as he the prifoner had wrote and read in their pre tence ; the charge therefore was, that when he came to meet the profecutor at the public houfe in Sheffield, he came with that letter ready writ ten, and that when be left the room for the pur pole of getting a wafer, he had changed the let ter containing the money with the one be bad ready4epared —Not Guilty. P ' &void Mailer, Efq. of Sulcoates, in the Eaft Riding, committed the 4th of February fan, for the wilful murder of Margaret Mailer, his daughter. The prifoner was found guilty ; but as it appeared upon his trial, upon the evidence of two phyficians, and one of his own fervants, that he had for tome time been in a (late of infanity, he did not receive fentence of death. SALISBURY, MARCH 9. A caufe of great importance to manufaanren was decided this day. It appeared that Littleton Mill, the property of Mr. thirst., of Trowbridge. had been dearoyed by fire, on the aril of July, by a number of riotous workmen. The Counfel, on behalf of the landed Gentlemen of the Hundred. endeavoured to prove that the words of the Aft, " demolith and pull down," did not include de nt-064m by fire; but the judge was of opinion. that this cafe was within the meaning of the AB, and the Jury confequently found two verdias for the proprietor and occupier of the mill, for the fum of 80001. each, folic& to the reduition and amendment of the Counfel, to whom the particu lar claims of the plaintiff were referred by the Court.
