cousequelice 4,f some information being given

fo :awn t,,LLINGTON 01, a ci:uspiracy formed by a
nn- of t'ociiigu se, and principally Noulemen,
for ci.e , ot use setting the Regency. The
different. ,\ ati6 ri:Al bags of letters were examined,
when the hole phut, was Aiiscoverei. Atxrut 200
persons worearrested, and immediately put On bdard
a Portuguese frigate, and sent to "Africa. The plan
formed, was to have blown up the magazines, de-
stroy the, Regency, and giye an immediate invitation
to MAssENA's army to advance : five thousand stand
of arms were discovered ; and so well. was Lord
WELLINGTON acquainted. with the circtiinstances'
from the information-ithat he had received, that he
knew the number of each .house where the per-
sons reside that were concerned in• it; ai•also where
thearms were concealed.; it created much alarm on
the day it.took, place, but by the very prompt mea-
sures of his Lordship it soon subsided. - The Corn-
mercial,Treaty entered into by this- Country and
Portugal, has not yet bden carried into effea.
There appears to be a little misunderstandinglpe-
tween the India and Custom-house at Lisbon,
.re-,
peaing which must have 'the duties; the latter al-
lowing not to clear unless a bohd is entered into,
engaging to pay 15 per cent. more if the right 13
established by the former T so it is not unlikely that
they will contrive to get 30 percent. •

COTESWOIITH, with Mails of the 25th instant for

THE THEATRE.-The Tragedy. *of Romeo ainn

Theatreo before a very numerous' audience. Pre"
ous to the commencement. of the play Mr. CLAW

to the Jews -in town, and interred at six o'clocic,
The Whole.. was conducted with great privacy, 1)0°
but the family of the :deceased and the necessgrY
attenliant, b,Sing present. There were seven morn-
ing coaches-fol:owing the hearse, containing reatives
an 4 servants. •

The Public have been informed that Roberst W 34
apprehended on Saturday afternoon; at the ktoPil
Oak, near Vauxhall Turnpike, but as no particullrs
have transpired, we give the following :—lnforms" •
tion of. Robert's abode was first received by ilia'
Pa k Directors, and they immediately repaired 0.
Maeibl °uh-street, and after procuring a search
i
war 20 , tour officers, viz. the two Foys, Craig an"
Burton, accompanied by Messrs. Glover and Lees;
Bank-Investigators,-repaired to the Royal Oak, and
having rendered escape there impossible, by baqi-
cading the house, they inquired of the landlord who
were his inmates. Two.of the officers repaired 0?
stairs, and they found Robert Roberts in a hack-
room, which was partitioned on the first floor. W
was surprised and seized, and, on searching him, 3
brace of loaded pistols was found in his eocketst
together with • a large clasp knife. The prisoner
was much agitated at the m,!inent of his apprehen-
sion, but after having been securely ironed, he re-
covered himself, and inquired who had betrayed
him. He observed, that he should at as a Gen-
tleman, avid attempt no resistance ; but he regretted
that be had placed too much confidence. in wan-
On him were found Bank notes to the amount of
nearly t wo hundred pounds, ba., on examining them,
they all proved to be forgeries. The prisoner .cos
conveyed to Mailborough-street Office, and com-
mitted from thence to Newgate, as has been al-
ready stated. Roberts had been a fortnight in his
lodgings, and he often walked'out, notwithstanding
his situation.' He gave his name as," Sidney" at
the house, and saw several per: ms whilst he W36‘
there.

' `ti

Another person, charged with being concerned
with Roberts. and Armitage on the dividend bu,i-
MSS, whose name is Fogaid, a tradesman in the '
6:ty, was,also secured on Saturday by the city of
about the time of Roberts's detection. .Tha
prisoner, Roberts, will undergo an examination it:
a few days on the subjeCt of Ins escape from Cold-
bath Fields, and the 'Public will soon have some
additional light thrown on that ambiguous business.
Some other important iotOrm:,tion has been receiv-
ed which will be di,clo!,ed ‘A hen the furtherance of
public justice cannot be injured by it.
An accident happened to the G eyhound Margate
Packet on Thursday night, between ten and eleven
o'clock, by running foul of a brig within two miles
.•
of Gravesend, which, independent of causing the
greatest alarm to the passengers, did considerable di!-
mage to the rigging of the vessel. The bowsprit
was split by the concussion, an 1 the flukes of ale
kedge anchor completely carriei away whileia,the
ad of casting.
On Saturday evening, abobt seven o'clock, as the
Rev. Lewis Guerny,• of Gerard-st:.eet, Soho, . was
passing through Spur-street, he was met and hustled
by a gang of pickpockets, who snatched at 1:-is gold
watch-chain, which broke, and they made off with
that and two valuable gold seals and key attached.
thereto.

MADRID, AUG. 25.—in the night of the. loth
inst. the whole guard at the .gate of Toledo deseit-
ed, including the officer whiclr commanded it. On
the same day arrived, 56 carriages of sick and wound-
ed from LaManoba, in the vicinity of Talavera,. 43
also some wounded by thegate of the Recolletos.

On' the 12th in the morning, troops were de.
tacked from the garrison to Arabaia and la Kosas,
in consequence of the patriots haying made some
approaches, and there is no doubt but there was
. .
some skirmishing, because oti the following
night some wounded were brought in from
that side. In the, evening three dispatches ar-
rived, dne of them brought by an Officer, whose
horse drOpped dead just as he arrived at the gates
of St. Vincent, in consequence of which reinforce-
ments of ,cavalry were sent off. The works con-
strua Mg for the defence of thp Retiro ate carrying on
with all theactivity which the want of. hands (which
every day becomes greater) will permit. They
extend to the gate of Alca!a. Another batter)) Is
raisisig in the pie of the Ca.mpamilla. No parson
is.sutfcred to pass behind the Retiro, and there are
centinels both by day and night at proper distances.
