I le gave a detail of the Insurreaion on the 231 July,

Traitors whom the humanity
.of the Government.of

were implicated, in charges to attempt at overturn.

. The first Witness for the Crown Was Patrick
M'Cabe, examined by the SOLIC.ITOR-GEKFRAL.—
He deposed general!ye to the ,rebellious prcied
undzrtaken by the Insurgents of the 23d of-July.
He was a 'confederate in, and consulted by 'nifty
persons during the Rebellion of 1798, though not
an immediate aaor tittrein. Friday the 22d of
July, he heard there would he a rising on the fol.
lowing day, but .was not then informed .of the
partieula, objects the Insurgents had in view ; was
told on the following morning what the purpose
was, fur which the People were to meet on the
evening of the 'same day. He met a party in a
field contiguous to the Grand Canal, by which the
whole object of their intentions were developed,.
The first pldce destined for an experiment in their
enterprise, was to demolish the B mocks at
bridge; after seizing the arms and ammunition
' therein,' which they eXpefted could have 'been no

Thomas Maxwell Roche stood indieied for High
Trea,oo, on the statute 25 Edward 1.IL: as in the
loniser trial-. . . , •
The ATTOR'NET,GENFRAL stated, that the In.: -
diflment eessited only of two out of, the three
species of High Treason, ena&ed by that tatute,,
viz. conspiring and imagining the death of the.
Kin*,
.andlevying War against him , in Order to
subvert his Government. Thete_ were to be only
proved by what the Law 'terms overt ads--such as
taking arms .among:tumultuous mobs—having arms
found in custody .of individualssunder that specific
purpose.of treason, and from no.other posSible cause
of combination nr -local disturbance, proclaiming
any other real or pretended grievance as the pre-
text.
The same course of evidence-that occurred yes.
terday had been previously gone into, with a view
to establish the fad of insurrection On the night
"f Ale 23d July, viz. the testimonies of. Mr.
Wilton, Chief Peace. Officer of the Rotunda Di.'
vision, and. Lieutenant Brady of the iist Regi.:
mere, who identified the Prisoner as bearing a
pike on that night, in
.the ct urse of his testimony,
to the Edlowing effeet, viz. That he apprehended
the Prisoner in Thomas-street about hall-past
rase o'clock by his patty, as he stated before,
consisting of between .1.0 and 50 men of the z tst
Regiment of Fuzileers, in their way from the
Barracks in Cork-street to Usher's Island, to corn.
municate 'to the deceased Colonel Browne the iofor-
, !nation they had received of a projeded "rising. of
the Rebels an that night. He !Lather deposed,
that he took the Prisoner at the Bar in the ad of
holding a pike in a diagonal direEtion, with both
hands across his breast,, the iron part downwards,
which lie described as a spike of about 1 8-inches
loeg,inserted in a wooden handle and fastened by
an. •iron ring. On .conveying him with thirteen
prisoners by orders of General Fox from James's.
street Barrack' to the Old Min's HOspital, the
Prisoner there threw himself on his knees before
the General, pleaded his age and distressed family,
anon" solemnly protested the pike had been forced
on hiM by the insurgents in Thomas.street.—
In the previous part of the Witness's testimony,
he proved that the Prisoner when seized on made
an hideous noise, grappled to his pike, and of.
fered a considerable resistance against the party
)
who seized on him, when Witness conceived had
the pike been forged on him as he declared before
General Fox, at the distance he.bad been from the
party, before they came near him, being more than
twenty yards, he had full opportunity of throwing',
, the pike away, in which case he 'might have re.
mained safe and unmolested, . as. Witness's intention
was not to have noticed any man whom he did not
find with artna
The identity of the traiterous Proclamation,
goo° of which had been depoeed, as in the former
Case, to have beets found in the deptst of pikes, arms,
ammunition, &c. in Mass-lane, near Thomas.street,
Was proved by a Serjeant Rice, of the last witness's
party.—One part, beside the title being that of
se The Provisional Government to the People of
Ireland," was read, specifying that they intended
to convert this country into a Republic.—This was
urged as an overt ad, to prove both the cases of
High Treason stated in the indidmenr.

should have ail the weight attached to it, in. point

On. Wednesday last, that very aelive and zeal-
ous. Magistrate, Captain Dawson, of Palmerstown,
took. into custody a man . of. he name of Col.
.gan, who was daring enough to threaten the
Priest of Chapelizod parish 4t the altar, for ex-
horting his congregation' to: live soberly, to be
amenable .to. the Laws, and to, give up all idea of
their rebellious principles, as in the end it could
tend to nothing hut their disgrace and ruin.
This rebellious villain had the audacity to tell
the Priest not to attempt to meddle' in business
that -did not concern him, and that if he did,
he would soon make him lorry for it; and follow.
ed him after the service, threatening him, should
he interfere in the like manner again. He is since
fully committed to.the,Provost Prison.
One of the barbarians who was at the murder of
Lord Kir-wAttPiN, and who lived at Strokestown,
county Roscommon, has surrendered himself; he
acknowledges his guilt, and it is supposed will make
a full discovery of every circumstance he knows of
that horrid transailiOn.

Ma,Or SW AN took into custody, on Sunday even.
ing last, five men speaking the language and wear.
.ing the garb of Frenchmen. One, it is said, had a
silk sash inside his waistcoat, with a _dagger fixed'
therein, and a number of French Louis d'ors.
Another appeared by certain papers in his custody
to have been a native of Brussels, who was recently
in the service of a Mr. ARTHUft, of the County of
Clare, who, it is mentioned, hired him in Dresden,'
and brought him, with other foreign servants, to
his family seat, where he discharged the Prisoner,
in consequence of certain arrangements he hail been
making in his household, by which he resolved to
,retain but one foreign servant. Two col of the 4Ye,
only were committed.
