SOLE AS Diet:ltC FALnlxt-:Aurnwr LONDON, THURSDAY, FEB1U.11:1 7 20, 1817. In our precnt.ling colonas will be found the Substance of the Report of the Muse •of Com mons' Committee of Secrecy, So faithfully given, that we do not think it necessary to insert the Official Copy to-claw, though, at this document and the Report of the Lords' Committee are of high tratteinai interesr, we shall lose no time in laying theta troth formally before our Readers. The tendency of the Reports, the facts they &close, and the 'conclusion's' at which they ar ri‘;e, etc very ; but that of the Commons iorather more parti,:ular in its details. Among other important points not mentioned heretofore, it is stated (page 3), that' the Speneean " So cieties appear to have extended themselves ; anal there are traces of the existence of is Committee called Coiaerratire, directing the operations of the whole." Again (page 4) bpcaking of the London Plot, it is stated, " The design was, lig a sudden rising in the dead (If the night, to surprize and oyerpOWer the Soldiers its their dificre►►t. batrecks, which were to be set on fire; at the same time (plans having been ar ranged, and some steps taken %it ith a view to the accomplishment of that object) to possess thew- selves of the Artillery, to seize or destroy the Bridges, and to take possession of the Tower and the Bank." Any success in these infernal schemes we now know would have been followed by similar revo• lutionary proceedings throughout the Country, , Wbererei. the I'iditors have established their schools of sedition, and corrupted any coniideruble portion of the People. ‘Ve farther learn from the report, that die taTrachs were actually reconnoitred by the con. . . spirators with a view to their attack. (page 5,)' The 00111111011iCriti011 and connection Of tlte Pro vincial Hampden Clubs, with the p trent Club of the same name in London, is distinctly'stated. Their convulsing thimbles, and the disorganizing tenets of the 'Spencearii, have been artfully, dill . gently, and universally disseminated. Tlie privileged Class" has been marked nut for dtistruCtion, and (page 6) " 'a new order is declared to be the will of the People IRebellion is justified by the assertion that a Nation, cannot be a Rebel and alt Religion is aisavore4; ts well as hiyalty, by the assertion, in-attgifir' to!the guys. tion—" Would you lire 'without Gods or kings?"

"Die curse of our day swings from a rising blessing. It ia from .the partial state of know ledge and instruction in the mass of the Peo c k : ,advancing in civilization, we have not reached the point of safety—the dawn of intelligence yet struggling with the 'taut of ignorance, and. real objects are enlarged by inaccurate vision 0r distorted! at pleasure by the, arts of the trothireceed. In Politics, as in Literature, well . may ive34— " Drink deep, or taste not the Plerrean spring; ' " A little learning is a dangerous thing ;" —bitt we cannot pursue this reflection ; it would lead us into a field Rs Wide as it is impOrtant.

On the crowns and half-crowns these letters are distinguishable by the naked eye, and on the shillings and sixpences by the help of a magnifying glass.
