ARREST OF' SUSPECTED PERSONS. In the account sent to all the Papers on Sunday night of the circumstances attending the arrest of Preston, Watson, and the other inspecte►l persons, • tl►cre were some very Material inaccuracies. The Secret Committees of the two Houses of • Variiatnent, we are authorized to state, bad nu- thing at an ► o , do With the proceedings in this CR3e, nor did eit:,er of the CommirteeS hold•any Meet ing on Sundiy, as has been erroneously state". The facts are simply and correctly as follow : In consequence of privaie informati , m that had been received since Wednesday At the Home Mire, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office on Saturday, when the measure which has so ju dteuOutsly been resorted to wit fully determined upon by Government. 11'arrants were come_ quently prepared at the Home Office at six o'clock that evening; and Mr. STAPPORD was ordered o carry them into effect early the next morn ing. As we stated in our Paper of yesterday, the warrants were all promptly executed, and the sip,. pectedpersons taken Intl custody. A communi cation of this • event was duly made by Mr. Sr*rrono to the Right Honour dile IL ADDING. 1 . 91.1 on Sunddy morning, and Lord SIDNIOUTH in consequence lost no time in SfialtD011111:: all the Cabinet Ministers to attend at the flo.he Offi'e, I.vliielt they. accordingly did about two o'cloCk. The prisoners underwent separate examinations" before the Cabinet Ministers, which lasted till near six o'clock, when they were sent under pro pee escorts to different prisons. Upon the perlrct aoeuracy of this statement the public may impli ly rely.---( Morning Port.) The following statement is from the ordinary general Police Reporter : The apprehinsion of Niessrs. Watson,. Preston,' -the ;causes, Keene alias Kearne, Castles otitis Jack son, was arranged and conducted in the best pos.. sihle ma nner; they were all apprehended at the same time. although some of them .reside a a con siderable distance' from each other, and were ail at Bow-street Office in less than hour and a half of each other, so that it was impossible for any alarm -to be created among their connection. They were kept separate from each other during the day as much as possible, from the time of their being re moved from Bow-street Office to the Secretary of State's Office, to be examined before the:Cabinet Ministers. The Officers expected to find tVatstin with Preston et enreeting . of the Spa-fields Society, which was held at the Duke's . Head in Stangate-street, Lambeth, where Preston acted as President, which was numerously, attended. Some officers were in waiting o the curiae of the house, who knew Dr. Watson'S person, an . d they being observed by same person, gave information to Mr. President Preston, who treated it with his usual coolness and firmness, and harangued his 'auditors upon-the subject, telling them of the In formation he bad received, and that for any thing he knew there might he spies,. of Government in the room, 'which certainly was open for any one. It was star n 1 y es te r day by mistake, that Dr. Wa t was in the 53111 e bed with Preston he was on a bed on the floor in the same apartmeqt ; Preston was On a half-tester bed. Watson and Preston exonerate the Evans's-from Mving any connection with them;. however there is no donbt . of their being of the same sentiments, •fiorn the Writings they propagate. The cum . . mencement of Watsbn and Evans se ot. s ac quaintance was about three years since, when they were on a coroner's Jury together. Evans then gave hit ,Amnhlet, containing his improved In an Fairs. tenni, senior, kis h i a snspicions cal character these twenty years past ; he was one of the Secretaries to the Corresponding So?iety, we believe, after Hardy. 'Banns, one o! the-cele brated orators of that day, lodged in -his Louse. O'Quigley and others left London from his house to go to France, but were stopped and detected, and tried at Maidstouc for Il igtc Treason. Evans, however, denies his connexion with these parties, and says it was all an act of Binus,,notwitlis*and ing he wits taken into custody at that time, and impriSon'ed two yearslandleleven months; and it •happened that he was taken to the same prison on Sunday night. It was strongly .susmtel that the Evans's family knew where young Watson was concealed ; but Mrs. Evans declares she has. not seen him for the last two years, The man named Collins resided in Newport-market,• and nut Carnaby-market,• as stated yesterday by tins. take.

An action of import has taken place between ARTIGAS and the Portuguese troops, which ended in favour of the former. The Portuguese trade is freely admitted into this port, and we do not hear there is any intention on the pert -of this Government to molest them.

It is understood here that the private vessel. of war Congress goes off Bahia with the view of intereeptin several Spanish ships lying there, and in the event of her not succeeding,will . .ernu! , • • proceed to the coast of Spain : she has about 100 men on board. The Spanish brig Leonides, from St. Jago de Cuba, bound to Cadiz with a cargo of cotton, sugar, and .coffee, was captured off Cape Finisterre by the private vessel of war Mammoth, alias - La Independencia del .Sud,. about three months ago.
