M 4?), / No. 1,225.—V0L. XIII.] THE TREASONABLE CONSPIRACY. Information was received at Bow-41..1a Office on aturday, that a man, named Robert George, wai .ctively engaged in the Cato-street Conspiracy, and A warrant being granted by Mr. Birnie for his ap. isrehension, Ruthven and Salmon were on the alert the whole of Saturday night and Sunday ; and on Sunday evening, about seven o'clock, these officers traced him to the Dundee Arms public-house, at )Capping, the usual place of embarkation for the Gravesend butts, where they found him in sailors' lotbes, with a bundle under his arm, ready to start. i-le had taken a passage in a Gravesend boat. to join the Prince Regent East bohemia at that port. It appeared that he had beets at Wapping three or four .•'!ays, and had procured a birth us Captain's servant, ein board the Prince Regent, which was to sail in a .nay or two, The officers had received information that the izisoner would be armed with a dagger, and a dirk in his stick, and that it was his determination not to surrender himself tamely, and in consequence of this, they went well armed into the room, and Sal ton, clapping a pistol to his head, said he should blow his brains rout, if he attempted to make any resistance. He surrendered quietly, and had no arms about hitn. He complained of what he termed the violent conduct of Salmon ; but the latter, from the private information he had received, and the sample that he had before him, in the murder of a brother officer (Smithers) conceived himself justified in using every precaution in securing him. He was placed in Covent-Garden watch-house for the night, and a man appointed to sit up with him. Mon day. about 12 o'clock, he was brought from thence to the private room at Bow street, where he un derwent an examination of more than two hours, before Mr. Birnie. Ruthven produced a stick, with a tube at the end, in which to fix a pike or dug , der, and stated that he found it at the house of the •illikesimosar'shrother, who stated that belonged to the former, and that he had left it with him a short time ago. It is understood that the foundation of the charge against the prisoner is, that a blunderbuss, sword, and pistol, found on a dunghill, adjacent to the loft, in Cato-street, on the night of the conflict, are proved to be his property. When he was apprehended he said his name was White.—He strongly protested his innocence of any connection with the State prisoners. He was committed to the House of Correction, llis commitment charges him with High Treason. TIIE STATE PRISONERS. Thistlewood and his fellow prisoners continue to express themselves comfortable and satisfied in their new situation. They converse cheerfully with the warders whose duty it is to attend upon them, care fully, however, asoiding any allusion to the charges against them. There is a particular degree of cool determination in the demeanour of Thistlewood who seems to have made up his mind for the worst that can befall him. Monument appears completely sunken in despair. Them is no change in the be haviour of lugs. The prisoners rise at an early hour in the morning and partake of their allowance of provisions with apparent cheerfulness and appetite. They continue to be guarded as at first, the warders who attend in the rooms as well as the sentinel tvlio guards the door, being relieved ut certain periods. The pri soners are very closely watched night and day They will, by the indulgence of the law, be provided by the Government with Counsel to de fend them on their trials. The precatttious usually adapted at the Tower on occasions like the present, are now acted upon. The yeomen porter is in constant attendance at the great entrance, and every person entering is chant:l44yd by him and questioned as to what part of the tin.- tra ss he is going to This, however, is a mere matter of form, and is no prevention to the free admission always allowed to the public. The eight conspirators all remain in the same prisons mentioned by us, with the exception Da vidson, the black, who was se it to ;t primal over the water-works. This place was tia.nd, t n ac count of its largeness, to he extremely and, out of compassion to the priso-ter, he was removed on Sunday morning to the But-tower, immediately 1 ati'on If rt•Lt Our ttina, Con6titution anti It aimi• [Pawls 93.1.

Saturday last Mr. Iltutighant addressed a nume rous meeting of fr,:eli,dilers of the County of West moreland, in a very animated Ppeech, s few miles tro II Kendal, where lie proceeded, accompanied by a hand of music and colours; but as 50111 j &Min had arisen as to the construct' of the late Act Of Parliament, tic nheting at which the banners and music had been used was dissolved, without any matter being discussed. SUNDAY, MARCH lit, 1820 behind the golden chair, which is at the extreme east end of the Tower of London, and near the iron gateway, which has been, as' we betbre men tioned, closed for the present. On Monday this man, although every attention had been paid to his comtbrt, became so violent in his conduct, that the two warders, who were in tho room with him, were obliged to call in the assistance of the sentinel. Davidson then assailed the two warders and the sentinel with► the most outrageous language, calling on them to butcher him at once, and with the most horrible oaths told them to take his lift•. He con. tinned his outrageous conduct for some time, but became more calm when informed that such conduct wouli end in the warders applying to have him put in closer confinement. Ile then became more re flecting, and before night he fell into the deepest state of despondency, and has remained quiet and apparently deject , -d ever since. The wives of Thistlewood and lugs ••e received permission to visit their husbands. Mrs. Ings has travelled from Portsmouth with un infant child to see Ings, who had deserted her and a young family, residing ut I'ortsea, where he was a butcher, about four months ago.—This is Radicalism I .SOUTIIAMERICAN AFFAIRS. The brig Norr,which had cleared out from the port of Dublin far the island of Margarita, with troops to join the patriot farces in Venezuela, was detained by an order from the Honourable the Commission ers of his Majesty's Customs, under the Foreign Enlistment bill, and still remains detained in the harbour. This is a circumstance of which it is of consequence that the commercial part of the nation should he apprized, us the owners of vessels, char writ', them to the South-American agents are run ning the risk of losing their freight by having their vessels detained, and are liable to fin-reit .501. for every recruit round on board. This penalty will be enforced by ministers with the utmost rigour of the law on ally vessel that attempts to violate the Act of Parliament which prohibits the carrying armed troops out of the kingdom, besides which the Cap tain of the vessel is liable to a criminal prosecution for knowingly taking such troops on board, an Act which was introduced by Lord Castlereagh and his colleagues us a boon to the Royal Embroiderer, he being one of Lord C's. Holy alliance. The infortnation in this instance was sworn, befire the proper authorities, by some of the recruits, that had been enlisted far the Hussar Citt:lnis of the gallant alias General Devereux, one of tl.c Supreme • Chiefs of the Republic of Venezuela, Knight of the Order of Libertadores, General of th.:, Irish Legion, &c.
