He then took out a large knife, and brandished it about as if he were cutting off heads: he then swore that he would bring away two heads in his bags, and one of Lord Castlereagh's hands, which he would cure (salt), as it might be thought a good deal of hereafter.- He repeatedly made - me of these expressions. The knife was 12 inches long, with a tough Isotope, round which there was some wax-end to prevent it from slipping in the hand. The other men were equally busy in eqiiipping themselves. Palen came iii about halt-past five. Thistlewood and Brunt having lett the room for a short time, Palen addressed those who were present, and said, " Gentlemen, are you all aware of what you are going to do? You ought first to think within yourselves whether you are going to do your country a service. or not. You ought to think whether the assassivation of Mi nisters wiil be connteiaaneed by your country. If you think t hat t he country will approve of what you are going to do, you ought to come to a resolution that the man who flinches ought to be run through upon the spot. Unless you come to this determination, it will be impossible to do any good." He was going On when a tall man in the room said, " You speak as it we all knew what you are going about. 1 shouldlike to know what it is your are going tithe after." This man was a stranger, and had not attended any of the former meetings that I saw. He said to Palen, " I can see pretty well the meaning of what you say, and if we turn out to serve our country, latu not the man that will be afraid of myself." I did not sre Thistlewood after that—Brunt came hack, and seeing nit al teration in the countenance of some of the men, he expressed a wish to know the cause ? Ile was told that some of those present wished to know what they were going about ? Brunt replied, " Thatwas not the room to be told of what they were going about, but they should go along‘with hint to thy room in Edgware-road, and they should hear all about it." Brunt then put the nren in movement to g o , and said all that came with him should ha ve some thi ng to drink. The tali stranger said, he hoped he was not going to encourage drutikenliesa, as a drunken Man would only roil himself into the bands of the enemy. It was agreed to go two amid two, but nut io be all together. I went. out with othera. There was a cupboard in Brunt ' s room, which was used to hold swords, baud grenades, and flannel bags for the cartridges for the cannon. All the, ammunition was not at Brinit's; the depot was at Tidtrg, who lived in the neat room to myself. When we set off from Brunt's, I had a blenderboss under my great coat, and Brunt had a broomstick, which was prepared to receive a bayonet ; this lie also aave WC to carry. Among other .arnis at the depot were some pikes, which were made out of old files, or bayonets. As I weut along, a little man called to use to slacken thy pace, as brunt was gone back for something. I tufts-swards met Brant, and he took ate along the Edgware-road till we tact 'Thistle wood. We then went to a stable in Cato-street.

Oar Readers will see, by comparing the Report of His MAJESTY'S SPEECH, as it appeared in Tug StJN of yesterday, with the authewie copy of the original, which we have inserted among the Par liamentary Proceedings this day, that it differed little except in form, being given in the third instead of the first person. The Speech itself must be highly gratifying toithe Peo,de at large, as it strongly breathes the language of paternal solicitude and affection. It appears, that it is His MasasTY's anxious desire to decline what ever may add to the burthens of his People, and not to lessen any reductions that may be neces sary for so laudable an end. Here, we may venture to triumph respecting the erroneous statement that it was the intention of Ministers to make a vast addition to the CIVIL Ltsr. IVe, - upon good authority, contradicted this false asiertion immediately after it appeared in a Morning Paper which is notoriously syste matic iii its apposition to Government, and which no doubt published it for the base and paltry pur pose of operating upon the General Election. The Public will now see that we proceeded upon an. thermic information, as such an intention is dis claimed under the awful sanction of the Throne i self. OLD BAILEY, APRIL 28. SENTENCE OF DEATH ON THE PRISONERS FOR HIGH 'fitEA-S-6R. This Morning, as early as eight o'clock, the body of the Court was much crowded ; there were but few persons in the gallery. At 20 minutes past nine the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of tl►e King's Bench, the LOUD CHIEF BARON, ond CHIEF JUSTICE DALLAS, together with Mr. Justice BesT, and Mr. Justice RICHARDSON, entered the Court. Mr. Bttows, the Governor, immediately gave directions for bringing the prisoners into Court! After some short time the prisoners made their ap pearance in the custody of several officers ; they were all double•ironed, except lags, who has been excused on account of illness. Arthur Thistleautod being put to the bar, was addressed in the usual manner by Mr. SHELTON, that he " being convicted of High Treason, what had he to say why he should not receive judg ment to die, according to law r' The prisoner, who appe,tted perfectly composed, commenced rending a paper, not couched in the most respect• lot terms, in which he arraigned the conduct of the Gentlemen conducting the prosecution, and also that of the several witnesses; in one part of it the Chief Justice ABBOTT told him the Court was sorry to interrupt a person in his situation, hilt they could not sit there amid hear assassina •iw. openly juetifird. . _ William Davidson.

The Lotto Cu t er J USTICE o f t h e King's 12 ue-- „ c if having placed the black cap on his head, Pr e : seeded to address the prisoners, and calling 01 ' the names of the first five, he said : " Pri,oners, you have severally been tried an d found Guilty of the crime of High Treason, to levying war against his Majesty, to compel him to change his Government ; one of you, Eirthe t Thistlewood, said you proposed to call cerfAie witnesses to contradict the testimony of oneofthe persons that were evidence for the Crown. Th e ' • Learned Counsel that had the conducting of yoo. f , defence did not t hi n k proper to call them, hut u he bad, it would have been an improper time; the offence, however, of which you have heel convicted, has been hilly proved by other wit' nesses. Some of you have thought fit to say much of a person • that has not been brought forwards but this Court could only decide on evidence. From all that has appeared in the course of these trials, and the avowal of some of you that it wag your intention, by the deliberate assassination of 14 persons, to assume the whole Government of the Country, the Gentlemen of the Jury by whoa' you have been tried, must have beet) Stitisfied that this was your object after having committed the assassination alluded to. Some of you have thought fit to acknowledge your offence, and cast yourselves on the mercy of your Sovereign. Should your lives be spared, you will show your gra titude, by obedience to the Laws, and by . cominct° ing yourselves as good and faithful Subjects. It appears, that the present situation in which you are placed, has been caused by the reading of is... religious and seditious publications. Men never forget their duty to their King and their Neigh bour until they have forgotten their God and Re-: ligion ; then the heart of man becomes inflamed. and he is the Fit instrument for the accomplishment of the worst of crimes ; such persons ►oust, how• ever, be brought, by the example made of yost, to know that they will consult their own safety by putting a proper restraint on themselves." The Learned Judge then, in the most solves manner, exhorted Thistlewood, Brunt, Tidd, vidson, and logs, to make the best use of the short time they had to live in this world ; and proceeded to pass on them the awful Sentence of the Law as follows, repeating the names of the prisoners : " That you be severally taken from hence to " the place from whence you came, and then be " carried on a hurdle to a place of execution, and " theme severally hanged by the neck till you "r e " dead, your heeds to be severed from " dies; your b o di es to b e di v id ed i nto fourquar ters : " triod to be at th e di sposa l of his MAJESTY ; 11110 " the Lord in his infinity nav e mercy on you r " souls.'' yol ir bo- The Prisoners were then taken from the Bar, apparently nor much affected. MR. CLEMENTS, PROPRIETOR OF THE OBSERVER• This morning, on the State Prisoners being taken out of Court, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated, that a person was ordered to attend to an swer for a disobedience of the order of that Court, in publishing the proceedings of the late Trials for High Treason, before their conclusion ; upon which the name of Mr. CLEMENTS, the Pro prietor of The Observer Sunday' Newspaper, was called three times by the Officer of the Court ; he did not, however, answer:- The Learned Judges on the Bench, after some consultation, adjudged, by Chief Justice ABZOTT, that Mr. CLEMENTS should pay a Fine of Five Hundred Pounds to the KING, and that the Ar- TORNEY.`GENBRAL should issue an attachment for enforcing the payment thereof immediately. OPENING OF THE PARLIAMENT. . Yesterday, between one and two o'clock, his MAJESTY went in State to the House of Lords, for the purpose of opening the new Parliartmut. His Majesty,. we are happy to say, delivered his 'Speeds from the Throne in a firm and distinct tone,and looked in re markably good health. Under his robes be wore a suitof purple (Kingly mourning) embroidered with gold. The State procession was in the same grand order as usual. It did not, as formerly, proceed from St. James's through the Park e - but set out from Carlton House by the grand entrance; front thence along Pall-wall, Cockspur-street, Charing-crose s Whitehall, mid Parliament-street, to the House of Lords. Never perhaps were such immense crowds of people acrd carriages assembled on a similar occasion ; and his Majesty was every where warmly greeted and cheered by the popes lace. At an early hour the greatest bustle was observable in Parliament-street, and in all the avenues leading to the House of Lords. Before ten o'clock carriages began to arrive, principally filled by Ladies, who were fortunate enough to obtain Peers' orders of admission to the House of Lords, to be present at the splendid ceremony of the King's visit to the first Parliament of his reign. Tbs House of Lords was not to be thrown open to privileged visitors until twelve o'clock; but the Officers of the House accommodated the Ladies who had arrived in the different avenues within the walls of the building ; they were prin cipally placed in the old House of Lords, and in the Painted Chamber. All the passages were lined with visitors. The carriages continued to arrive throughout the day; .at many periods they came in such rapid succession, that the whole, from the Horse Guards to Westminster Abbey, be came blocked together in a double low, and muny person ages of distinction quitted their carriages, and proceeded on fuut to the doors of admission. The Ladies were splendidly attired, chiefly in white satin dresses, richly trimmed with lace; the head-dresses were of the same elegant and costly materials with pearl clasps, and surmounted by rich plumes of white feathers, which produced a graceful and dignified effect. The jewellery worn chit-fly consisted of pearl ornaments, though the occasional splendour of diamonds burst upon tl►e eye with all its inaguificcnt effulgence. Before 12 o'clock all the seats appropriated to Ladies in the body of the House of Lords were filled by the Peeress -s and their families. The sides below the Bar were also crowded to excess. The new Throne, which is now completed, scented to be the object of gene ral admiration; its overpowering magnificence attracted every eye, and the elegance and grandeur of the de corations were universally approved. The House never pre sented so crowded mid brilliant an appearance. All the Judges were prcsrnt in their state robes,—lt was with the utmost difEco Ito an avenue could be made tart he Speaker to approach the bar. His Stale gown was nearly tor, from his shoulders, and the sword of his train-bearer was broken to pieces in its scabbard. _ - Muted by J. B. CA:ISTAIRS, at No. 112, ST lIAND•
