hint at the lame moment. they immediately brought him off in a hackney coach which stood iu the neighbourhood, accordiog ars a reviews ar raogement, Awl drove direct a Bew.street. Col. Burroughs, Mr. Conant, and other gentlemen, were on duty as Magistrates upon die Bench. They withdrew with the Prisoner and the officers who bad him in custody, to a private room, where ba was briefly interrogated at to his name and peeve of re sidence. These interrogatories whk4i we under stand were merely of • formal nature, lasted but a few minutes, and Thistlewood, accompanied as before, was conveyed lit the r•rae liackney-coach to Whitehall, where ■ Privy Commit was summon ed to attend with all possible dispatch. Thistle wood was seated in the porter's 'hall, immediately inside the folding Joors at Whitehall ; the hand cuffs still remained Fastened. Lavender was seated at one side of him, and Sunman at the meter; Bishop and Ruthven were also near him, and about a dozen constables were stationed in the hull. No persons were suffered to have access except those on business to the public offices at Whitehall, nor was any individual allowed to hold communication with the Prisoner. About a dozen soldiers were in the ball and edjoicing lodge; they formed a part of the military escort that accompanied the police officers on Wednesday night to the spot where This ilewood and his companions were first discovered. The soldiers had with them the different articles and weapons found upon the party on that night. We saw on ttlie seat in the hall, two small pistols, one of which was said to be loaded ; and a bundle of files, similar to those used in small brass work.— The points of such files are always sharp, and the part of the file which goes into the handle is neces sarily pointed, to penetrate the hole made in the wood for its reception; some of the files appeared, however, to hate had the handle points brighten ed, and the ends made more fine, as if by being whetted upon a stone. There were also in the hall two or three bags, said to contain three bayonets and someammuuition made up in both small and large cartridges. The soldiers who had seized those articles were in waiting o:ith them for examination before the Privy Council. Thistlewood and the officers were of course there for the some purpose. The appearance of this man is wretched in the ex treme. When in custody with Watson, Preston, and Hooper, on the charge for High Treason, he was a stout, active, cheerful•looking mate, with something of a fearless and determined cast of features. His deportment at that time free and unembarrassed with much of the air of a seafaring man. Within the last six mouths his appearance has in every respect undergone a total chatikr ; he has been seen constantly in the streets dressed in a shabby manner, his countenance squalid and emaciated, and his whole dress and the expression of his features denoting a man who was reduced to a state of extreme indigence. He was generally observed walk ing or running through the streets with eager impetuosity, and' his shoes and an old brown surtout coat, which he generally wore, bearing alt the marks of the poverty and distress ed circumstances of the wearer. Ilis stress last murnieg was •n old black coat and waistcoat, which are threadbare, a corderoy breeches very much worn, and old worsted stockings. Dis tressed as was his general appearance when se en but lately in the streets, he seemed to-day, if pos sible, in a still more reduced state; his features had a sallow and squalid aspect, the bones seemed nut only to be darting through ins cheeks, but his limbs seemed equally bare of flesh. He was brought to Whitehall soon after twelve o'clock. There was nothing of agitation in his manner. He sat with his eyes chiefly fixed on the ground, except when he occasionally raised them to survey Members of the Privy Council as they passed through the hall on their way to the Council Room. The following Privy Counsellors had arrived at Whitehall at half-past one o'clock :—The Duke of Welliugton, the Fails of firrrossby, Liverpool, and IVestonorland, Lords Sideman!), Castlereagh, and Melville, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Canning, Mr. Wellesley Pole, Sir William Scott, the Chief Baron of Scotland (the Ex-Attor tory-General, Sir S. Shepherd), Mr. Bragge Bathurst, and nearly the whole of the Mem bers of the Cabinet. The perm' who actually killed the constable, Smithery, is described by sonar of the officers as • tall, corpulent, and gross looking mom, ,s de. scription which doer not accord aif t hat of Thistle. woml, who is, neverthelers, by others represented se the man who committed the act. Thistlewood, after a short examination before the Privy Council, was committed to the Colilbatli fields Prison for further examination this day.— fie appeared in his usual manner—daring and ferocious; and asked questions and mad• observa tions in the Council-room, such as, , 1 Who was the That is Lord CAsTLEREAGU The other the Vici-CHANCELLOR 1" EXAMINATION ,AT BOW-STREET.

At the caociutiort of the esamioation, he was taken to the Secretary of Stait'a Office ; Mr. Bir nie also went there. Mr. ii. E. Conant, the Magistrate, proceeded with the examination of the evidence ; they COO. *toted of the landlord of the house, Mrs. Hill (a lodger), and emu° named Lewis Casper. Elizabeth Harris, the landlady, stated, that her husband works at Carton's letter-foundry. On Wednesday she had a bill in her window to let her lodgings, when, in the mousing, between ten and eleven o'clock, Thistlewood came into her house and inquired about the lodging. She told him it was only half • bed with her nephew. Tl►istlewood ■greed fur the half bed, for which he was to pay two shillings and sixpences week. and was to take possession of it that night. It was supposed she kept a common nightly lodging-house, by her taking a man in she did not know, with out any reference, ■nd the only explanation she gave to this wee, that she thought he looked re spectable, and she had as merry as eight people lodging in her house. She said she had a slight knowledge of Thist ',wood, but denied it afterwards, saying she was mistaken. It was supposed she was concealing Thisilewood, as he was locked in the ruom.—This she explained ; the door flew open mud she could not keep it shut without locking it. She said Thistlewood arrived at her house be toren ten and eleven o'clock on ‘Vednesday night ; lie oh-creed that lie was late. She replied, he was so, and she had almost given him up. He went to bed. Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, her husband came home to his breakfast, and went into the room where Thistlewood was in bed, when Thistlevrood asked him for some coffee, and she took him a basiu full and wine toast in bed. Her street door being only fastened by • latch, the officers entered and searched the upper part of the house before she knew they were there; when they asked her to unlock the dour of the room where Thistlewood was is bed, she instantly did so. She did not know Lewis Casper was in her house till they met in the couch on beiog brought away. Lewis Casper stated himself to be a watch finisher, residing in Union -street, Bishopegate, and accounted for his being in the house by saying he was with Mrs. Hill, the lodger, who worked for him, and he appointed his little boy to call for a key. This man was detained till it was ascertained if be was the man he represeered himself lo be. Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Hill were discharged. John Firth, a cow-keeper, of Bryanstone-street, Mary-le-bone,the owner of the stable and loft, where the assassins were assembled, attended, and stated, that he let the premises to a man horned John Marie, who was a discharged soldier, who hired it hut a few days since, for 'Web lie was to pay him five shillings a week for six months certain. Harris stated his object to be in hiring the premi►e', was to keep a horse and cart in the stable, which his brother was to buy for him, but neither cart nor horse hail been brought there yet. After Thistlewood had been examined before the Lords of the Council, they sent for the other nine prisoners to be taken before them, sod a special messenger was dispatched to the House of Correc tion, and they were conveyed forthwith from thence to the Secretary of State's Office, and examined before the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Westmorland, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Viscount Melville, the Duke of Wel liugtun, Viscount Sidmouth, Viscount Castlereagh, Earl Bathurst, Mr. Canning, Mr. B. Bathurst, Mr. W. W. Pole, Mr. F. Robinson, and Earl M ulgrove. In addition to the Cabinet Ministers there were prevent Viscount Palmerston, the Lord Chief Ba ron of the Exchequer of Scotland, Sir William Scott, Mr. Sturges Bourne, the Attorney and Soli citor-General, ,Sir John Nichol, &r. They conti nued in examiaat►ou of the Prisoners till past six o'clock, when the Prisoners, who had been kept in separate rooms, were removed in hackney-coaches toihe House of COIIIOIOII, escorted by a party of the Life Guards, amidst the execretious of the po pulace.

Yesterdwpan inquisition was taken at the Doke of York, Quern -sr reet, Edgewsre-road, before Th.- isms Sterling.. Esq. Coroner for the county of Mid dlesex. on the body of Richard Smithers, who was killed by Thistlewooll's gang, on Wednesday night. Ile observed, that it was a (hatter of vest int portanee, end would take up a great length of titne ; and sidsongli he had nat issued his warrant expressly for the puspose of proceeding new with ght ease, •ors the court loss already assembled it.would be edsioshle to hear whatever evidence could be brought before- them. •The Jury tosented. and they immealiately went to view tha 'ally, which was at the How sod Gelinal, at t h e carrier of 1411 m• ahmet and Caine. street. They sure shawls Wu a guess toe the Snit law, where the body was laid upon the beck on the door; the upper part from the stomach was naked, with the euaeption of being covered over with a sheet. The land waned appeared on air tight side of the cheat. within half au inch of the breast, directly opposite the heart. it appeared on the surface to he about three-quarters of en loch long, and half an tech wide. There was an immeuse crowd around the house during the whole day, sad many Gentlemen of respectability and rank came to view the premises where the murder was committed, which is situated in the curlier of the gate-way on the south-west end of Colon-street: it is a building two stories high, sud many of the panes of glaas in the upper stury were broken by the firing.. The lower part was com pletely closed up, and a great quantity of blood still remained in the street. I. The Coroner and Jury haring satisfied themselves in examining the place, returned to the Jury-room at the Duke of York, in Queen-street, to hear the evidence. the summoning of in St. Mary-le bone, said, be came just at lie moment the de ceased fell; he saw him bleeding profusely, and he expired instantly. He assisted iu carrying him into the Horse mid Groom, but he had Dot seen him struck ; the firing in the street was so rapid, that it was dangerous for the inhabitants to go out; they could only speak to the firing, and those who were immediately upon the spot were not iu attendance, as be had no time to summon them. The Coroner asked who the premises where the murder was committed belooged to, or if the pro prietor was in attendance ? A gentleman of the Jury said they belonged to General Watson, who is now abroad ; but lately they were in the occupation of a man who had for merly been hii servant, awl who hiss had the care of his town house since he left England. Firth, the person alluded to, is under exami nation. Ils says he let the premises to a Mr. FLlrria, a few days ago. Pyall said the individual alluded to was • milk man, that he had them for a cow-house, and lately let them to • man who had belonged to the Guards, who was to use them for • horse and cart ; that the conspirators had them only two days, cud as far as he could learn, no one knew they had them at all till discovered accidentally, as they used the greatest precaution. The Coroner asked in what manner they had been discovered ? A Gentleman present, who did aot give his name, said he seas informed that one of them, he understood named Davidson, of radical meeting notoriety, happened to come down about eight o'clock on Wednesday night, for a light, when a cutlass was observed suspended from a belt round his body, underneath his top-coat, the point of which was exceedingly sharp, and it appeared to be fresh ground ; he had also a brace of pis tols hanging from another belt. Several others being observed under very suspicious arcuinatances, and all of them with arms concealed about their litmus, crested suspicion, and information was sent to the police, who arrived in about au hour afterwards. IVlien the others heard them at the door, a pistol was fired out at the window ; at this moment the deceased ascended the loft where they were assembled, and was immediately stabbed, it is supposed by a stick-sword, and he fell back wards, uttered a groan, and instantly expired. The military came in a few minutes, and it was • matter of surprise how the'others escaped, as there is a range of houses sit the back of the premises, through which they must have been admitted. If ■ few soldiers had been planted on the roofs of the houses, which could have been easily effected, they must have been all taken. The firing continued about half an hour, and it is suspected that many of those who escaped were wounded, as tracks of blood were traced a great distance. At this moment a gentleman arrived in a chaise, and stated that Thistlewood had been taken Dear Finsbury-square, and conveyed to the Secretary of State's office; lie said he had remained there a few minutes; that during his stay he saw three others brought iii ; that the sentries were doubled, and the greatest alarm prevailed in that part ; no less thou 500 people were collected at Whitehall, and they were increasing every minute. The Coroner apologised to the Jury for the trou ble lie had given them, and said, as no more evi dence was present, he must postpone the inquest till to-morrow evening, when the result of the ex aminations of those in custody shall be known. Last night, in the House of Lords, the Earl of LAUDERDALE submitted a series of Resolutions to the House, for the purpose of marking the die sent of their Lordships from the mode of pro ceeding adopted by the House of Commons with regard to the mode of voting the supplies in the present instance, to meet the exigencies of the State during the interval until the meeting of the sew Parliament. The Earl of LITIRPOOL moved an Amendment, iu which the privileges of the [-louse of Lords were inspliedly, but fully recog nised by the &china*, that the Lolls were Adis fifcl to acquiesce in the proceedings of the House of 'Cernatous in the present instance, on account of the peculiar circumstances that rendered such tosibect sgpsilies3. This Aikesilaseat, sties • skeet it bets, yes Lally odepted. Five news-venders, WATLING, Halltif.Seoarsa, , WainguoiN, BarNsiessav, were yesterday tried 'separately in Om Court of Birig'o Bench, charged by i►rformation fried is ryficio with having published a number el • periodical Paper, entitled The Republica,, containing a letter addressed to the PILINCS RSGgNT, tin the thanks of the Govern wets( having bee. given to the Magistrates and }et:t wenty of Mauchester " for the murders committed on the 10th of August." Tl►ese unfortunate men Undertook, probably in consequence of their utter inability to a fee • Barrister, to defend themselves, and thus threw away their chance of escape, ■nd an excellent opportunity of fairly determining • question of law and policy, which in its decision i•. wolves matters of the utmost importance to the free. dom of trade, and the most valuable rights and privileges of the people. It is to be regretted that the ArroarruY-Guncitui, did not seek a nobler quarry than these unfortunate news-venders, or at less one whose dert►uction might be more justly regarded as the appropriate consequence of actual crime ; why did he not rather pounce upon the actual writer of the libel, instead of selecting some few creatures, who in the way of their trade sought by the sale of the Paper to glean the means of ex istence, and who in their capacity of news-venders must be presumed to be wholly innocent of any libellous intent. Had the same paper, instead of containing seditious sentiment., extolled the mea sures of the Government, and promised a ready sale, these unfortt►u•te men had with equal willing. rse•s given it a place to their stalls or shops; and if with perfect impartiality the same hand distributes the various political writings of the day, without, as is most probable, reading or knowing the con. tents of any one of them, it doer nut savour much of strict justice, whatever might be the strict law of the case, to punish such tradespeople for the faults of the author, who alone can be considered as mo rally guilty. The principles avowed in the Republican are, we admit, as wicked as it is possible to imagine, and we should sincerely rejoice if the writer of that Paper were punished ; but it appears strange to the public eye that these few venders should be exposed to the ruinous severity of a crown prosecution, and that the author of the same work. though publicly known, should never have been tried for the offence. If, indeed, it could be shewn that these venders had sold the work, bring perfectly aware of its feel character and injurious import, there might be , some pretence for this severity ; but the act of sale alone was proved against them, and of this . offence, if indeed it deserve that name, the most respectable and wealthiest news-vender in the me tropolis might, without any libellous or seditious in• teution, have been equally guilty. The Paris Papers of Monday last ha►e arri►ed at our Office in due course, the material contents of which, however, were published in our Paper of yesterday. In another part of this Paper will be found copies of the Ordinances published by the King of FRANCE, intimating his MAJESTY'S ae ceptance of the Count DECAZES' resignation, elevating the Count to the rank of a Duke of France, and nominating the Duke of RICHELIEU to the Presidency of the Council. of which we yesterday stated the substance. It does not as yet appear that any further changes a►e contem plated in the Ministry. The Ordinances respecting the Duke DECAZES are signed by PAHICIER. Mi nister.for Foreign Affairs; and notice is made in the Moldkyr that M. De SERER. the keeper of the seals, is rapidly recovering his health, which would seem to imply the expectation that this Minister would shortly resume the duties of his office. These papers contain news from Madrid of the 10th, and from Cadiz of the 4th February. No change had then been effected in the relative poei tion of the Royal forces and the Insurgents. With the regular papers from Cadiz and Madrid, arrived also in Paris private letters, containing the usual mixture of truth and falsehood. One account stated that the insurrection was nearly extinct; another, that General FRILTRE'II army had suffer• ed considerable desertion, and that he was afraid to attack the enemy. It seems that numerous arrests have been made in Cadiz, and that the Governor has found it expedient to adopt measures of increased severity. It is stated in the Cadiz Journal that Gen. C4steana,commanding the garrison of Cadiz, marched out of the city on the 3d February, to the Corta-durs, with a body of 3,000 men, to notify to the Insurgents the amnesty which the Kula has granted to them, and that the Chief of the Irwin. gents had demanded three days to give his answer. A private account affirms that the Insurgents push ed forward arstrong division of their army, with artillery, in the direction of Tarifa ; but the public Journals enure its. that the Royal forces continue to blockade the Isla de Leon in the strictest manner. An inconsiderable engagement took place in the Bay of Cadiz, on the 31st of January, between a few gun-boats armed by the Insurgents, and r large force of the Royalists, in which the former lust one gun-boat. This achievement, which seems to have cost the Royalists several lives, loses none of its importance in the account published by their authority. This account will be fouud in our extracts.
