. 1 .411 call your attention to only two of these pers.ons, ea. James lugs and Thomas Brunt. Brunt was a shuentaker residing in Fox -court. Dray's-inn-lane, and there oecul•ied two rooms, in one of which he himself resided, and in the other he applied himself to his liis fancily ennslitted — of himself, his wife. a so”. and to apprentice. It will not be necessary fur tat tot carry your recollection far back to convince you th.'t th's person had, i t cunja u with histlewood p .•1 others, roneeivell a plot of the most diabolical to odeney. Tiwir meetings will be shown to have tali r;nally been held at a public-house, called the White Hart, situatetl is Brook's-market. Toward:. the latter end of January, however, it was thou••ht tweessarv. for 'kr purpose of greater secret"-, to ret ))))) e the place of a:,eeti••gtu the house where. brunt Aceonlingly, ►a prevent suspicion. a room was taken upon the same floor where Brunt lodged, for the u..• set 1110. This ryas IST.OSTegily taken for the purpose of following his ..renpathoo t : but its veal use was, tie a pla,•e of meet ;Hr. to perfect t:uose plans which, at the close of the torah of January, or bo.:inning of February, the prisoner awd his associates had so deeply catered into. wits there that the scheme of blood and assassination Se originally proposed and agr.ted to; anal yon will (leadsmen. that they then determined upon a o.leasotre unparalleled, I hope I may say, iu atrocity. (lie Majesty's Ministers were to become the 6rst vic tims, anti, this accomplished, the town was to he tired ,different 'pi .riers ; the cannon at the artiller)- gneand was 1.1 be seized, anal, amidst the tumult and eon I . ll,:itots of the I. 101111• 11t, a Provisional liovernment was to be formed. It loose operations the conspirators here to direct. Ahoy deliberations, Gentlemen, took apace at the latter end of January, and it was at one tune saggested that the night of the Kings funeral would 1•c a lit 'opportunity fur carrying their schemes into effect, as, lima that oreasi , the greatest part of the troop! ! would he absent from town. This plan, how ro.:.r. n•es sithseiptently abandoned, as it was f I that their plans now embraced a greater variety of ..1);1• t% than many of the conspirator. had twigivally c.o.ttemplated. The impatience of these persons to witness the roost 0000000 :dhoti of their plans continued, however. to increase, and. on the 19th of February, you will find that it was definitively arranged, that no longer delay should be suffered, hod that (el no better opportunity intervened) the &allotting Wednesday, the 2:Sel inst., should be appointed to carry their plan•. into effect. Having thus decided, a meetiteg was ap p•ai.nteel to farm a committee, upon whom the direction 1.1 these operations was to &sok e. At this, and intleel tat all the meetings, the prisoner Thistlewomml man err• .••ut,and you will find that he was generally theperson lay whom the difen•nt plans were devised and pro:,ose.l.lli,o -tieniell. this actually him play,. on thi• tog (Sunday) morning; and it will he proved that it as atteetkd by the prisoner, by Brunt, logs, Harrison, Wilson, a n.l others mentioned in the indictment —per whoa • names I now • only mentioned, because in the course of the investigation it will be found that they were all implicated I■ the lets esf each.--(Afte•r 01, ..eribing several other meetings. the Learned Conn coutinued.)---lientletuen, the meeting uu Tuesday, the tad, was marked by a peculiar circumstance: t;•coot of the name of Edwards entered the room, anal -tared, that he had dis overed that a Cabinet dinner a /IS to take place on the following day (Wednesday, :;.1.) at the house of Earl Harrowbv, in (Irosvenor s.mare. You will, lientleuirn, be shil..ked to learn, ;io it upon receivi.og this intelligence, Druid, with an i.viety almost ineredible, exclaimed, "That he had i.':ttertoi disbelieved the existenee of a God, but that he iv ,s now converted, and believed that the Almighty f •cootred their designs, by thus causing a meeting of Atz.ti•lers so opportunely fur their purpose. This i.e.. c:•ation was not confined to Brom alone. You will find that the prisoner Thistlewooil was equally rejoiced. and hulled this opportunity of effecting their object. Every orratigement was inimeiliati•ly made, and it was de termined that the following netting should be marked b.' the perpetrat' of their crime. I:entlemen, I shonhl have stated, that, as it was ileri,,.u! unsafe for Itront's house fo be the only place . where their arms and grenades were deposited, arrangements hail been I wade with a person of the m •of Tirlil (also ime of the conspirators), by which his house also became a oh-pot for arms. As, however, both these houses were to far from Grosvenoir.s.ptare to be convenient for noir purpose, it bi•catne ttio•essary to engage a nearer plat r, and a stable and hay-hoft, in Cato-street, was pitched upon fur that purpose. Fortunately, fientle so.on (as it often happens in matters of this description), o.• of their OWII party was tom-hell with I •tion a• the crime which he was about to assist in commit :• and you will foil, that on the tory day appointed I 1.6 r its perpetration, he contrived to gain all interview with Lurd Harrowby, and revealed to him the net's riatos design.—(The Learned Counsel here went over t..e whole of the transactions, which were afterwards f.r . ,,vl.lli'Alliotteel—tfavitrirtiots nearly chased the. brief narrative, which he thought it necessary to give of this most itefarious tratisao•tion, he (the Attorney. .1;:orral) would ask, whether there was one of the Jury, wt.,, airier hearing the facts he had stated, d in! eii•ienve, could entertain a doubt of the prisoner's joilt. lie it as at a loss to know. what answer was' to be given to the charge so proved.

And, if none s. given by evidence, what could he given by ob ration t Would it be said, that the fact. tchieli they should hear disclosed iu evidence were so absurd and I'''" ls trUUS as to be unworthy of credit ? They must, it. 'iced, be but judges of human nature, who did out triceive it possible to find men of ileverate cha racters, of had passions, and heated imaginations,: who would project plans that were frequently int- Facticable, and try to carry them into effect, by means which other men would shrink from with tear and horror. The experience of the world proved fast persons were to be met with, who, ponder it:, over their projects from day to day, worked their r!.tids up to the saute, su as to think any undertaking easy of arcomplishment. '1 he conspirators, in the pre se' r instance, fancied, perhaps, that after a blow Was ..Lei• struck, the people would come in great nurulsers, s- join their standards. They could not, on this oc casion, calmly judge of men's minds ; hut the facts,' r?..t should lie disclosed, were so clear and palpable, • as to admit of no explanation. It was not for the Jury t. consider, whether the plan of the' conspirators was .o.ticable or luirracticable—that was not necessary-- THE stATEsSIAN: fbr, if it shoald appear to them that a plan bad been formed, however wild and visionary that plan might he—if it should appear that steps were taken towards the completion of the plan, then, every thing like Idoubt on the subject was at an end. If the prisoner at the bar tf.en failed in waking out a defence by ob i serration. what other resource tuna I he avail himself I of? It would hr urged, asld urged, no doubt, with great force and ability, that the prinvipal u itnerses ' were w•euniplices, who ought not to lac believed on ! their oaths. To this argument, he must 'observe by ' anticipation, that, its plots of this nature, which were always contrived in secret. it was impossible not to re reiye t'se evidence of accomplices: the guilt could not be prayed without it; fur, otherwise, immunity would always be held oat to the blarkest and must destructive • •of crimes. He did not wish to press this ease one iota beyond the farts and the merit); that belonged to it. : Ile dial, intle at, admit, that the evidence of arroyo plices might to be watched with great care bat then it would he necessary to see if it was rt.:firmed by that of credible witnesses.

One Bow-street odieer had been killed, and though the!, were nut now trying that prisoner fur the death of that man, still the fact itself proved that resistance to the civil power had been carried to the last extremity. What conclusion email they (the lientlemen of the • Jury) thaw from this fart as to the issue of the pre sent trial, so important, nut only to the life, hut to the character of the prisoner ?

Witness saw in the room a number of plke-stna es, and Tnistlewnod wanted to has e theta ferruled. The pike-staves appeared to have been lately cut, the wood being fresh. Ile expressed his surprise that a per son named 'hafnium hail nut come. Thistle...mad said he load given him money to purchase ferrules, and was not satis fied lest he should slot taut them. 'Phe meetings were held 'nice a day, up to the 2il of February. Witue-s heard Brunt say, that he had hired the room for logs. There was se furniture in the room. Witness remembered one parti cular eirctoustance. One evening, about ten days before the Cato-street Mishit:wt, he went in and saw Harrison anal Brunt. Harrison said he land been !speaking to one of the Horse Guards, who told taint Veit the whole of them would be down at Windsor coo the death of the King. and Ilerrisoat ob ! served. that " this would he a good opportunity to do some ' thing that night." Thistlewood said it was a good plan. and ' if they C4111:11 get the two pieces ofeantsou in ray's-inu-lane, land the six piers% in the Artillery Ground. they might take 'London bofore Monday. A Provisional Government was talked of,and several seaports were to be taken. Oa Matto.- ' slat, Feb. 19, another meeting was held. One of them said, •• If within': takes place before.

Brunt Ilsertaon, Cooper, nradbara, Edwards, acid Waisun. Toistlewood looked round, and counting the number of heads, said. " Bless me. 'tis high time to form a Committee." Thistle wood then proposed that Tidd should take the chair. Tidd tnnk the chair accordingly, and sat with a pike in his hand. Thistlewood told them they hate what they met for, and said it was the west end job." Brunt then said, " D—n my ryes, why don't you name it ?" Thistlewood then addressed those present, and Again, gentlemen. we are come to the determination to do this job we are talking about so lone, nod as we find there is no probability of meeting the 311nisters sitogether, we alkali. if we csn't do them other wise, take them separately, and do as much as we ran. I suppose forty or fifty men will he sumcient for the west end jai.; and I propose that another party MIMI take the leo pieces of cannon in (fray's-inn-lane, and the six pieces in the Artillery Ground." Ile proposed that Cooper should take the command of this party, and he was to pet himself in pos session of the tension-house. as the seat of the Provisional Government. Tory were then to make all attack On the Bank of England; and it was proposed that Paling was to be Lie man who 'Mould set fire to different parts of London. This finished Thistleeontrs plan on this morning: and it was resolved that they should come to a teal decision on Wednesday night. It was said that Brent bed a preposition to submit for the assa%ir.net , o3 of the SliniSters, and there tore t h ey should drop ine discussion for the present. Brent came forward; upon Wi'ish 'Thistlewond said, •• Stop. I'll have it put from the chair, whether the proposition stiteld Ise approved of as a question to be entertained."

After they erre so lotted, he proposed, that out of them one t u na should be drawn for assassinatiag one or more of the Slinisters—and be bound to do it, or be islet dered himself. If he failed, he swore by all that was enoti, lie should he run through the body On the spot. — Nothing further was regularly transacted. l'ilistiewood. re eommeeded Brunt to go with Paling stet see If. from the Louse in Fox-court, fire could he eonnutiniesteil to Fureitare I Inn.

Thistiewood said lite tree! might be at the Willie Hart. Brunt replied that it was leo near. and by !Ovine his tippren lice a holiday, it might he at his own house. All this took place on the Sunday morning. On Mondey morning Brunt, Harrison, and lags, assembled at the same place.

Brant proposed a watch on Lord ilarrowby's house, that if any soldiers should enter it. they might be way -laid. Two aura were appointed for this purpose, who were to keep watch from six to nine, and from The planer Sunday morning was now abandoned, an I a new one proposed.

After the execution at Lord Ilarrowbs'a, Ilarrison we• to take a party to the King's Light !torso Barracks. and set tire to the premises, by throwing fire into the straw. Harrison supported the proposition, and he and Nilson were nest to go to Gray's-inn-lane, and take the two pieces of cannon that were there. If they did not find themselves strong enough. they were to wait for assistance. Tnev were to go thence to the Artillery Green I. where Cooper was to take some cannon, and lend hints hand. if necessary. The Mansion-house was designed as the seat of the Provisional Government.

Mr. SOLICITOR . now stated, that notirehad been Riven to produce the writings. Witness said. that this second kind of bill Ras nut finished, because they could not agree as to the terms.
