lu consequence of private information received
•yesterday by Lavender and Bishop the officers,
that Robert Harrison. late belonging to the 2d
regiment of Life Guards, bad been seen to gu into
the stable in Cato-street on the night of Wed-
nesday last when the gang had assembled, the
officers in consequence made diligent inquiries
respecting him, and they learnt that since he bad
been discharged from the 2d regiment of Life
Guard., hr had been working as a baker in Pad-
dington, and where he also lodged, hut from which
place he hail absconded. This confirmed the in-
formation they had received, and they had no doubt
but that he was one of the Cam-street gang of
assassins, but could learn nothing respecting him;
however, they persevered in their inquiries among
his connexions and relatives; at length they had a
strong suspicion that he was concealed et his is-
let's in 0111 Gravel-lane, in the Borough; they
proceeded there and made a rush into the honse and
found hint. lie made no resistance, although lie is
a powerful mum above six feet high. The officers
brought him to the.office, when he soon after under-
• went an examination before Richard Birnie, Esq.
when lie was identified as one of the despewy gang
who were in the loft, and standing near Thisßewood
at the time lie murdered the courageous but unfor-
tunate Smithers ; he was clearly seen, and his
person well identified, there being eight or ten
candles burning in the loft when the officers entered
it. Ue gave evident proof of his having beets there
from several wounds in his body, which no doubt

The Bill for suspending the issuing of writs to
the Boroughs of Barnstaple, Periryn, Grampound,
and Camrlli►rd, for the election of Members, until
the decision of the Legislature upon the charge of
general bribery preferred against them be deter-
mined, was last night rejected in the House of
Lords. This decision, however, is not meant to
prejudice the resumption of the questions concern-
ing their elective rights, and the consideration of
Lord Jour RusseLL's admirable m►asure of par-
tial Reform in the next Session of l'srliament.

Dutch Papers of the 623 d instant hive arrived.
In the Sitting of the Socond Chamber of the
States Central, on the Itith, two In•njects of law

taining the budget of the ordinary expenditure for
the year 1820, the second containing the ways and
means. The amount of the expenditure in this
new budget is 67,150,780 florins and fin cents.

Our renders will remember that a few days since
it was stated in a Royalist account received front
Cadiz, that a strong detachment of the insurgent
Spanish troops, under the command of Colonel
litxno, bad snatched out from the Isla de Leon, for
the purpose, it was supposed, of foraging, arid
the Rovelists boasted of having cut off his coin-
ninnication with the main body of his friends.
It would seem, however, that the boast in this
instance ss:ls in some degree inopportune, fur
Colonel llluto had entertained ilia intention of
returning. Ills object was to enlarge the scene of
action, and to disseminate as widely es possible the
spirit that aii i aaa ated the Constitutionalists. The
Colonel directed his march upon the town of Alp-
• sires, where he arrived on the 31-t of January, and
was received by the .11.13.b1.N111.16 demon.

strait' of joy and confidence. On the following
day RIEGO issued a ProCISMAIDM. RINGO'S inftts-
liOn is said to be to march upon Malaga. The dr.
'suture of so large a force from la Isla, im.
plies great confidence in the main body of the
insurgents. Their position is said to be suffi-
ciently strong to resist all the force Fataltit can
bring against is, even if he could rely on his sol-
diery. They have provisions for six mouths; and
are well supplied with money, for the regimental
chests were complete when the insurrectiou broke
out. The greatest vigilance prevails among them.
The Zona° bridge is garrisoned by non-commis-
stoned Officers, and such also constitute the gourd
of CALDERON and CISNEROS. The National Army
consists of the finest and most experienced soldiery
in Spain. They are united and entlinsisatic, and
every means are adopted to keep up this state of
feeliug. Among other devices, cards have been
printed and distributed among the use'', with tbitSe
words on them—/f they conquer, you will be NW
barked ; if we conquer, we shall have laws.
