gation of the Parliament he returned to Flanders, to cumuli
with Owen sod Sir William Shaky. From Pleaders he
went to Italy, and from thence cause to Holland, where he
passed fur the servant of Piercy, seder the Initials same of
Guy Jainism. He was principally employed in plaeieg the
gunpowder, faggots, Ike. in proper order for explosion, and at
the same time eoseeslniern from too curious observation,
as the doors of the cellar were left epee for public teepee-
tien, to avoid suspicion. Fawkes was appreheeded at the
entrance of the cellar-door, shoat midnight, by Mr Themes
Koenig., a gentleman of his Majesty's Privy Chamber, and
a Justice of Peace in Westminster, who immediately carried
hisn before the Privy Council, before whom be aerated, that
had he b.en within the doors at the time of his apprehra.ion,
be would have blown himself up, with all those that were
about him at the time. He was afterward, examined at
Whitehall, where so mac, of whatever reek, me denied ac-
cess or speech with him; and, notwithstanding the ceoliened
treeing ard impertiuest quest low. that were pat so hint, it
was observed, be neither changed emoteamee Oaf bet him
temper the whole time, treating the better sort whit scorn,
and nosekiag the rest. He ryas from the Council easseyed
to the Tower, where, although he was 'hewed and threatened
with the rack, be still seemed Axed in his lest purpose of
deayieg any accomplice whatever • sad it is asserted he Will
prevailed eater make what confession hedid from the follows

There was ewe Mr. Pickeriag. of TieWard' Grove. in
Northam?tosehire, who was in great esteem with King
James. This Mr. Pickering had a bores ofspecial note fur
swiftness, us which he ward to heat with the King. A little
before the blow was to be givee' Mr. Kele% owe of the eon-
spinier., borrowed the hone of him, and conveyed him to
London upon a blood, design, wide% was thus contrived:—
Fawkes, *you the day of the fatal blow. was appointed to re.
tire tutu St. George's-fields, where this hone was to attend
him, to further his escape (ea they made him believe) so soon
as liv• Parlismeet Howse should be Mows up. It was like-
wise contrived that Mr. Pickering, who was a awed Puritan,
should that swiping he murdered in his bed, and tinsireyed
away; as also that Fawkes, as mos as he came inter 111.
George's-Gelds to escape, should be there murdered, sad so
mangled that he could not be knows. Whereupon it was to
be bruited abetted list the Purim*. had blown up the Par-
liament House; and the better to make the world believe it,
there was Mr. Pickeriag, with his choice horse, reedy to
make an escape. But that stirred op some, who, seeing the
heinousuess of the fact, and him ready to escape, in detests.
lion of so horrible a deed, fell opus him mid hewed him to
pieces; and to make it more clear, there was his horse,
known to be of sportsl speed and swiftness, ready to carry
him away; and upon this sewer a massacre should have
gene through the whole land soma the Puritans.
When the coutrivanre of this plot was thus discovered by
some of the conspirators and Fawkes, who was now a psi.
career in the Tower, mad:acquainted with it, whereas before
he was made to believe by his compitions that he should he

death had lime contrived by them, he therefore freely sour
feared all that he knew concerning that horrid conspiracy,
which before all the tortures of the rack could ant force him

kins, who had it frees Mr. anneal Cellos, to wheat Mr.
Pickering gave the above relation. Guy Fawkes remold Ica

SHIN:KIND ACCIDINT IN Yoac—ler our Paper

A melancholy accident happened at Llenwrst on
