AittoT and thelkev,.lYlr. ts4ll:,DEti then received
information,

(ere; but as so many things of t))e kind had been
in agitation bsfore, and never cots'tl be brought to
A point's n,o 'other notice was taken of it than 'using
cointnon precautions.
'Every arrangement that was made by these infa-
tuated people,' sufficiently evinced,that some persons
yet unknown, but riot-unsuipetixd,. at Sydney and
Peramatta, had the principal direCtion these
plans, and were only waiiing the success :. Cun
ningham'S exertions.

The alarm began "at Castle.H;ll about : eight
o'clOek on
.Sunday night, where there are upwards
of 200 lrish_Prisoners (sent here for seditious kac*
tires in Irelansl, by setting a hOuse on ,fire, and
ringing the bell,. when Cunnipgham. appeared as
the avowed leater, vociferating the cries of Death
or Liberty I" and assuring those who Were joining
him (aod.others who say they were compelled) that
Sydney and Pa.rrathatta were in their poisession ; that
they had nothing to do but obey his orders, and piton:
der the Settlers of their arrns,foi which purpose-parties
Were sent ()Win diff:rent direCtions), end :4fter being
ur,ited- to march to Ha wkesbuty', where they
,were
assured'ot their force being augmented to t zoo men,
with Wh ch they were to return to on

for the' possession of which two well known dis.
affeeted persons were to be answerable ; and lifter'

they were to prOeied •to Sydney, the possession
which was also supposed secured by three disal. •
feCted charaCters, and 'Oen' embark on board. the
Ships, which would also be ready to receive them:
Such a tale, joined to the principles of the body hR
was haranguing, removed 'all doubt, and such as
the tietivity of the different parties, that every Set.
tier in the wide extended range, from the Field of
Mars round by Parrarnatta, .11.wilkham, and Seven
Hilk, Prospect Hill, and Toongabee, were coin.
pletely stripped of their arms and autmunition by
six in the morning, which, in their cOnteSt with
Major JOHNSTON,. amounted to one hundred and
thirty-six mustjuets, fourteen pistols, arid. a great
number of swords, bayonets, on poles, and piich-;
forks, and there is little doubt that 'laity Of the pr mnpt
measures that were adopted on the exigence of the
moment had been omitted, the !Banditti would have
increased, their numbers and strength considerably at
the Hawkeshury, where they were going, seconded
the plans of their concealed direttors, and given
.eunfidence to those who were then wavering or
waitinglor the Iniurgents' success ; and what add.
ed greatly to the check given, by themain body
ing loured,_ was. the citcurnstauee of the so armed
men. under flumes, and -7o under Johnstou; having'
lost themselves.'

Several parties of Settlers and others now pu
the Insurgents in all diredions ; Lied tram AVlunclay-
noon to` Friday evening upwards, of .three htnAred
were taken or gave themselves 'up, most of whom
were dismissed and sent to their respefflt'e labour,
with a caution and reprimand. Ten of those who
were seleded from upwards of two hundred, as
being tln most forward, including the two leaders,
Johnstone and Humes, were tried on Thursday at,
Par rairwtta by a General Court Martial,' when they
were all sentenced to be hanged—Johnstone and
Humes to be hung in chains. A patt of ;her sen 4
tence was carried into execniion at sixo'.elock 'on
Thursday evening, upon Huines, Charles Hill, and.
John Pierce, who acknowledged the justice of their
sentence. .Humes gave much important infofmation
respeding the. secret Contrivers; 'and on Friday
morning Johnston, Harrington, and Neale, 'Were'
executed at Castle. Hill, Johnstone giving similar
information triliumes's ; and ou Saturday'Rrannan

rnick being reprieved. Five others received corporal
punishment ; and about-thirty were ordered to-the
dilTerent Gar)Lgangs,. until they can be otherwise
disposed of.
Thus ended a sudden Insurredion, that was .:as
unexpeded as it is decidedly put an end to by t.tit
great assistance given to the Measures' which the
exigency of the moment required.
