tat take the cannon himself, he was to proceed to the Alansion

Ile was then to ueasiaild possession of the Alansion House,

at himself, end said, " my eyes, I am nut complete
now; I've forgot my steel." He then took out a large knife,
and brandished it about as if he were cutting off heads: he
then swore that he would bring away two heads in his bags,
and one of Lord Castlereagh's hands, which he would cure
(salt), as it might be thought a good deal of hereafter.- He
repeatedly made-me of these expressions. The knife was 12
inches long, with a tough Isotope, round which there was
some wax-end to prevent it from slipping in the hand. The
other men were equally busy in eqiiipping themselves. Palen
came iii about halt-past five. Thistlewood and Brunt having
lett the room for a short time, Palen addressed those who
were present, and said, " Gentlemen, are you all aware of
what you are going to do? You ought first to think within
yourselves whether you are going to do your country a service.
or not. You ought to think whether the assassivation of Mi-
nisters wiil be connteiaaneed by your country. If you think
t hat t he country will approve of what you are going to do, you
ought to come to a resolution that the man who flinches ought
to be run through upon the spot. Unless you come to this
determination, it will be impossible to do any good." He was
going On when a tall man in the room said, " You speak as it
we all knew what you are going about. 1 shouldlike to know
what it is your are going tithe after." This man was a stranger,
and had not attended any of the former meetings that I saw.
He said to Palen, " I can see pretty well the meaning of
what you say, and if we turn out to serve our country, latu
not the man that will be afraid of myself." I did not sre
Thistlewood after that—Brunt came hack, and seeing nit al-
teration in the countenance of some of the men, he expressed
a wish to know the cause ? Ile was told that some of those
present wished to know what they were going about ? Brunt
replied, " Thatwas not the room to be told of what they were
going about, but they should go along‘with hint to thy room
in Edgware-road, and they should hear all about it." Brunt
then put the nren in movement to go, and said all that came
with him should have something to drink. The tali stranger
said, he hoped he was not going to encourage drutikenliesa,
as a drunken Man would only roil himself into the bands of
the enemy. It was agreed to go two amid two, but nut io be
all together. I went. out with othera. There was a cupboard
in Brunt's room, which was used to hold swords, baud-
grenades, and flannel bags for the cartridges for the cannon.
All the, ammunition was not at Brinit's; the depot was at
Tidtrg, who lived in the neat room to myself. When we
set off from Brunt's, I had a blenderboss under my great
coat, and Brunt had a broomstick, which was prepared to
receive a bayonet ; this lie also aave WC to carry. Among
other
.arnis at the depot were some pikes, which were made
out of old files, or bayonets. As I weut along, a little

SOLEAI QUIS DICERE FALSIIM AUDLAT

LONDON,
FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1820.

Oar Readers will see, by comparing the Report
of His MAJESTY'S SPEECH, as it appeared in Tug
StJN of yesterday, with the authewie copy of the
original, which we have inserted among the Par-
liamentary Proceedings this day, that it differed
little except in form, being given in the third
instead of the first person. The Speech itself
must be highly gratifying toithe Peo,de at large,
as it strongly breathes the language of paternal
solicitude and affection. It appears, that it is
His MasasTY's anxious desire to decline what-
ever may add to the burthens of his People, and
not to lessen any reductions that may be neces-
sary for so laudable an end. Here, we may
venture to triumph respecting the erroneous
statement that it was the intention of Ministers
to make a vast addition to the CIVIL Ltsr.

IVe, -upon good authority, contradicted this
false asiertion immediately after it appeared
in a Morning Paper which is notoriously syste-
matic iii its apposition to Government, and which
no doubt published it for the base and paltry pur-
pose of operating upon the General Election. The
Public will now see that we proceeded upon an.
thermic information, as such an intention is dis-
claimed under the awful sanction of the Throne
i self.
