The report of persons having been taken
up in Yorkshire chargedevith high treafim
and a connection w<h Defpard, was not
unfounded. On Thursday lalt were tried
it York, Wm. Lee, aged 24, and Wm.
Rouxley,botli of Sheffield, for having be
tween September, • ±3oi, and Christmas
last pad, feloniotrfly administered an oath
to Wm. Simnet, of Cbelterfield, collier to
engage in an affeciat:oll or & conspiracy,
formed for the purpose of disturbing the
pudc peace. These twjmen were only
unii'eted for administering an oath, but
;periled of the evidence againk them will
Shew they were guilty of high treason.
They afibciated, they took a secret oath,
were to overthrow the government by
force of arms, the wives and families of;
tuofe ignorant despicable miscreants,,
were to govern the country ! In every
pa ticaiir the Societies of Sheffield refem
nled .hoD of Defpard, and they were no
doubt in connexion with them, as it ap
pears about the time he w as apprehended,
the conspiracy at Sheffield was detected, in
c difequence of a letter from London Seeing
intercepted at the general post office.
fhefe'S leffic-ld traitors prepared pikes,
about three times the size ofa carv
ing knife, but edgedon both Sides like a
dagger. Their design was to Seize the
"rr, cks at Sheffield, pofless themselves
of the arms and then take the town. They •
eave t hemfelvcs out to consist of about one
houfand v?:en in Sheffield ; but we trust
they are Rotfo numerous. The prisoners
were found guilty of administering the
; unlawful oaths, and sentenced to seven
ears transportation. It is a great pity
the/ are not punished with death. Such
an example at Sheffield might prove a
salutary teflon, and we .fear it is much
wanted in that town. By our account of
the Hartford county Meeting it will be
Seen Mr. Baker late member ofparliament
I for that county, thinks the conspiracy of
Defpard was connected with the design
of Bonaparte, to invade England at this
moment. Should this conjecture be well
founded the chiefCohful will indeed, have
been guilty of the blacked perfidy.

ORENOCK, MARCH 18.
Friday morning a rood extraordinary duel
took place in Hyde Park, between Lt. W. of
the navy, and capt. J- of the army. The antag
onists arrived at the appointed place within a
few minutes of each other, and the parties fired
per Signal, when Lt. W. received the Shot of his
adversary on the guard of his pistol, which
tore away the third and fourth finger of his
right hand. The Seconds then interfered to no
purpose, the Son of Neptune, apparently cal
lous to pain, wrapped bis handkerchief round
his hand, and swore he had another which never
failed him. Capt J. called his friend aside,
and told him that it was in Vain to urge a re
conciliation. They again tock their greund.--
On Lt. W. receiving the pistol in his left hand,
he looked ftedfaftly at Capt. J for some time,
then cast his eyes to Heaven, and said in a low
voice “forgroe me ." The parties fired as before,
and both fell. Capt. J. received rhe Shot thro'
his head, and instantly expired; Lt. W. re
ceived the ball in his left breaft,'and inured:,
ately enquired of his friend if Capt. J's wcun<
was mortal ? Beir g answered in the affirmative
he thanked Heaven he bad lived thus long ; r.
queftiog a m< urging ring co hie finger might
be given to his filler, and that she might be as
sured it was the happiest moment he ever knew.
He bad Scarcely finished the words when a
quantity of blood biirft from his wound, and he

The following curious account of a Dutch
execution ty green in a letter from a Gen
tleman at Rotterdam :
" I was one of the many that attended y^ft
erday before the Stadhoufe, three hours in the
cold, to fee a murderer decapitated. Bat, to be
fare Such an obstinate man never was seen ! He
would not fit a moment Still. ' The under-offi
cers ;nd dfenaarj -persuaded him to be quiet.
But no! his head went from one Shoulder to
the other, for all the world like a Chinese Joss;
two Lemina (lulgo Parsons) then attempted to
preach him into patience, persuading him, or at
least attempting to persuade him, that the Op
eration, being momentary, was attended with
very litle pain—but the obstinate fellow would
not ev<n believe the Domnin : he was placed
near the hillock of sand, but would not kneel
down : the fob-officers attempted to place him
and bend his knees; but as soon as one was
bent, the other was Straight and vice versa. He
was that,with difficulty, blindfolded, and bound
down it a chair; but he Shook himfelf and the
chair abut, worse than a man labouring under
a violent fit of the tertian ague.
I" In hurt, the culprit was determined net
;to lose hs head, as prescribed by law. One of
the Magistrates Stepped out of the window of
the Stadhoufe, on the fcaffold.—But alas !
“ mantes forturiant," it was labour in vain. The
fellow waild hear nothing he had to fay on the
melancholy Subject. By this time the mob was
immense The little circle of thief-takers, ex
ecutioner, &c. around the man, looked very
foolish attach other. To foorten this extraor
dinary ftcry, which I humbly think merits to
be handed down to future posterity,. the obsti
nate dog-grimed his point, and went out of this
transitory world with his head on: instead of
being beheaded like a Gerttleman, they hung
him, as he deferred, like a dog. I think our
neighbours the French, would have beheaded
50 in the time that was loft by our Dutch
Artists in considering about it.
" A Query raturally arises; Had they a right
to hang him— contrary to the Sentence of death
patted upon him?"

much anxiety and such great exertions on both

opened, upwards of 500 votes were taken
The weather being unfavorable the polls were
continued open for three days. Notwithstand
