_ THE LATE CONSPIRACY.

Bow-SraELT.—ln consequence of what has transpired dur-
ing the investigation of the witnesses to be produced against
the gang of assassins taken in Cato-street, 011 the memorable
night of Wednesday, the 22d of February, it was deemed ue-
cessary to search the residence of Davidson, the man of an-
ion!, sin Wellington-cottages, near the Alpha-cottages, in the
New-road, and Ruthven, the officer; was dispatched there at
an early hour yesterday morning ; but after a very diligent
serarch, nothing of importance, tending to criminate him in
treasonable transactions, could he found; some trifling ar-
ticles which are to be used in evidence, were seized.

During the examination of the fire patrol who were at
Cato-street; assisting in the apprehension of the gang of as-
sassins assembled there, it came out, that, in addition to
Ruthven.and Ellis seeing Arthur Thistlewood stab the late
Smithers and Westcott in the stable, seeing him come down
the ladder leading to the loft, and afterwards take an aim and
fire a pistol at him, two of the patrol identified him on the
spot, about two hours previous to the detection and disper-
sion of the gang. These patrol had been selected because they
had -been recently appointed, and of course their persons
were nut known. They attended in Cato4treet and its neigh-
bourhood at the early hour of six o'clock, to watch the per-
soDs resorting to or going in and out of the stable in
Cato-street; they recognized several, after they were taken,
as those wllO/il they had seen go in. Davidson took in several
sacks, which were filled, and supposed-6 contain the tire-
arms, swords,&c.,. with which the gang werearmed. Davidson
and Thistlewood were frequently upon the look-out, to see if
there were any observers of their movements, or that they
kri w any persons who might be waiting about near thc: pre-
mises. Thistlewood stopped twice to look at the two young
patrol, and the second time he turned round and looked full
in their faces ; one of the patrol reproved bins, for his rude-
ness ;.Thi+llewood made no apology, but passed Suddenly and
Sullenly on. As Thistlewood 'had so closely inspected their
persons and faces; even to gross rudeness, they were afraid of
being discovt;red to be watchers, and therefore proceeded on
into Molineux-street for some time, and entered iato cancer-.
sation with some females, that it might appear that they lived
in that neighbourhood. The same two young patrols were
at the office on the Thursday morning after the apprehension
of the gang,. when Lavender, Bishop, Salmon, and others
arrived with Thistlewood in their custody, after having appre-
hended him at Harris's house in White-street, Little Moor-
fields, when the two young patrols, as soon as they saw Thistle-
wood,instantly recognized him as the man who had passed them
twice in Cato-street, between'( and 7 o'clock in the evening.
Mr. Birnie has rtceived, within the last two or three days,
upwards of 50 letters, %ffecting 'to give information of the
route of Patin, the man for whose apprehension Govern-
ment has offered a reward -of inn!. 'Many of these letters, it,
is believed, are a mere hoax, written by disaffected persons,
with the view of giving unnecessary ,trouble and misleading
the Police. Palin, it is gupposed, has succeeded in getting on
board a vessel which sailed within these few days for the
United States.

Mr. Beckwith, the gun .mater of Snowhill, applied to Mr.
Conant, the sitting Magistrate, on Monday, for leave to in-
spect the arms .seized in Cato-street, and other places, as he
suspected s,,me of them might, have been stolen from hint
when his house was bli,keuPpen by the Spafields' rioters.—
He was referred to Mr. Biroie, by whose order the arms
were shown to him; hut we are not aware that he recognised
any part of- then,. The pistols were mostly new, of rough
manufacture, and very strong, from which it is suspected they
were made expressly for their purpose; the towt ",Barnet"

EAST-INDAA HOUSE

ADDRESS OF CONDOLENCE.

A General Special' Court was yesterday held
pursuant to Advertisement, " to consider of an
Address of Condolenc:e from the East India Com-
pany to leis Majesty upon the Dtath of the late
King, his revered and lamented, Fattier, and of
Congratulation ',port his slajesty's Accession to
the Throne of these Realms."

The minutes of the last Court having been

read,

The CHAIRMAN stated the object of convening
the Court to be, for the purpose of agreeing to an
Address of Condolence to his Majesty on the de,
wise of the late -King, his revered and lamented
Father, and of Congratulation on the Accession
of his Majesty to the Throne. This Address, he
felt convinced, was in unison•with' the feelings of
the Court,.an:l-4se- was sure that he only echoed
the'sympathiesJA the East India Company, when
he said that his late Majesty had, doting a long
reign of 60 years, Amu hiniself possessed of, mid
had exercised, all those virtues and amiable' qua-
ties which could adorn a Throne—(Hear, hear,
hear l)—The wild and. benignant reign would be
long held in remembrance by 'England, and the
glorious achievements of his arms wouid form a
splendid Portion in the history of this nation.—
tie was convinced that the Court were ednalty
prepared to declare their attachment and loyalty
to his present Majesty, and his Illustrious House.
The Chairman concluded by moving, that the
Address of Condolence should be read.

The Address having been read,
'The CHAIRMAN moved, .that it be agreed to,
and presented to his Majesty by the Chairman and
Deputy Chairman- of 'the Court.
Mr. RoßiNsorr (the Deputy Chair Man) said,
that he felt it unnecessary, after what had fallen
from their Worthy Chairman, to add a single
word upon this occasion. There could be but ohe
sentiment entertained upon the points of the 'Ad.=
dress—the Death of our late Sovereign,, and the
Accession of his present Illustrious. Majesty. He
seconded the motion..

Mr. R. Twieter; apologised for obtruding him-
self for a few moments on the attention of the
Court ; indeed, 'he should not have done so, had
the usual number of members been present, or
lied be seen any member of ability, outside rise
bar, anxious to speak on the subject. tie agreed
most cordially in. every sentiment expressed its the
Address. Fortunately, it was not necessary to be
possessed of high rank or large fortune, in order
to be able to estimate the virtues and amiable
qualities of our late Sovereign ; such was Isis cha-
racter, that they impressed themselves . equally
upon all. His Majesty bad not indulged in those
Court intrigues and secret practices which sense-
times serve States, but are always dangerous to
them ; but, during Isis long reign he had held out
an example, which will be long and affectionately
remembered by his country. As a Sovereign, as a
Father, as a Friend, he appeared in the most esti.
inable point of view, It was true that his reign
bad trot been without many t mbarrassments, bar,
in every difficulty, it was evident that the good of
his country was the predominant feeling of his •
mind. Upon all occasions he lied manifested the
greatest firmness and self-possession. If any trees-
action of his reign was to be peculiarly distinguish-
ed, it was that by which his dominions in the East
had beets blessed with the mild and forbeating
government of the laws of England. The latter
days of his Mej• sty hail unfortunately beets clond-
ed, but had this not been the case, he would have
had the satisfaction of seeing that through the
justice and wisdom of our Governors in•ludia the
protection of the British Constitution was extend-.
ed to even the most bumble natives of that coon-
try.—(hear, hear, hear !)—lf they had satisfaction
its teus looking back, they had also a pleasure in
looking forward. The reign of Lis present Ma-
jesty was calculated to give the highest confidence
and satisfaction to the county—(hear, hear?)--
It was true that some difficulties were still to
he overcome in different parts of the kingdom.—
They knew that the Civiuns ardor did partially
exiir, but it was a satisfactiOn also to know that
they.could look ep with the firmest ,onfideuce
to. the Throne, filled as it was by a mists who
might be designated as Justum ac tenacern prop°.
siti rirurn.- iVhile the Throne watched over the
safety of the State, there was still good feeling
enough in the country to support and enable it
to put down every attempt to disturb the public
tranquillity. It was gratifying to observe, that
on the death of our' late King, all the Churches,
eat only in the Metropolis, bet' in the kingdom,
were opened by one impulse. The pulpits rung
with .the virtues and good qualities of Isis late
Majesty: This was not flattery, ,as they were
only praising God's Vicegerent on earth, forhav-
ing administered Isis laws so mildly and beoefi-
ceetly. He apologised for this intrusion, but he
felt it due to himself and his fellow proprietors
to say a few words on a subject so dear to them
all —(Hear, bear !).
Mr. It. JACKSON pronounced a high' eulogiunt
,on his late Majesty, and after alluding to the be-
neat derived to the natives of India from the ex-
tension of. British Law to that country, conclutled
by giving his most cordial support to the Address.
Adjourned. •

A malignant spirit has been displayed in Had-
-1(.10 by the anonymous addressing of letters to
the print ipal inhabitants, containing threats that
their property will be set ft►e to, and even the
owners murdered. On Monday se'nnight a stack
of hay and clover belonging to Mr. J. Gray was
burnt, it is believed through the villiany of an in-
cendiary; and indeed his whole premises would
bave been consumed, but for the meritorious exer-
tio of the iul►abitants. The property was in-
tilted in the SufrolkFire•office.—(Bury Paper.)

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS-OF THIS DAY.

[Morning Chronicle]

Considerable interest has been excited by the
manner in which the French Papers represent
General O'D mud pressing on the rear of the di-
vision of national troops under Colonel Riegn, as
if some apprehensions were entertained for his
safety, it being stated that he (pitted Malaga in
a precipitate manner. It ought to be remem-
bered, that we have no accounts whatever of the
operetions to tshich we allude than those derived
from the courier sent up to Madrid.by the Royalist
party, and these again received a second version
before they were pehlished in Paris. To know
what really happened, we must wait for arrivals
from the Mediterrancett. Itiego's grand object
was to penetrate, as tont, possilde, to Granada,
where his presence would !the( ate nemhers of
vireitns. His determinittoe to proceed thither,
proves be was perfectly at ease, and basing left
on_theutight of the 19th, he wits; have
arrived at Velt-z-Matega wet day in the mernieg,
the distence b hug only tree Spenish leagues, and
the road very go,nl. On the evening of the fol-
lowing day, he would rear It Albania, near which
place is a pass in the motnreins, steep and mar-
ro,v, where cavalry cannot act, and st here, with
30'j men, he can prevent the advance of a whole
army., By the possessinn of this -defile, and the
villeees, on the menntains of Lee Alpuherras, a
few stragglers
,kvpt themselves independent for
twiny years, aher the expulsion of the Moors
how Spire. From Altrama to Granada it is
only a tew litters march ; -consequently it was
in Itiego's power to enter the latter city on
the 22,1, and stilt keep possession of the
beigi,ts, in which case ti'Donuel would have to
a retro,:rade movement towards Motril,
which wntdd delay hint nearly a week. Riego is
aware of the favourable feCeptioll that awaits him ;
this the King's representative, Eguia, has prepared
for tihn, by crowding the prfsous with victims,
arid besides three-fouttlis of the inhabitants of
Granada are staunch Liberals. The greatest part
of the King's troops had previously been with-
drawn from the proeince, end Riego has with hint
some of the best infantry in the Spanish army.—
In the whlde of Navarre, we understand, there is
only one King's regimente so that Mina has an
ample field for his exettions. It was expected
Pampeluna would immediately fall into his hands.

RIBBON,MF.N.

A Galway Paper of Saturday, !he 4th inst. has
the following strong and alai ming observations,
relative to the progress of the disaffected banditti,
called Ribbootnen

" At our thresholds„ we ate surrounded by
Captains of gangs, leaders of plots, banditti of
Ribbonmeni under the pretext of charitable inten-
tions, reduction of rents, arrangement of tithes,
regulation of the dues of the. Roman Catholic
Clergy—and for these wild objects, thousands of
persons have lately traversed this county by night ;
holding meetings tinder the protection of (bit k mess ;
conceiving themselves invested with the supreme
authority ; marching through the country in the
open day, armed and in military array,' usurp-
ing the sovereign power.. ‘Ve read of murder and
assassination-, as frequent occurrences in the noun
slay; houses robbed of their fire-arms, haggards
burned, burglaries committed, and this too in one
of the hitherto best disposed counties in Ireland.
We find the seeds of poisonous dissatisfaction so
deeply tooted, that nothing scents to be wanting
but the sun of some revolutionary planet, to Set
our whole population into all the collusion of
anarchy, and horror of' civil w51.--to set brother
against brother, children against their parents,
servants •against their masters, friends against
their neighbours, and to obliterate every tie of re-
ligious and moral obligations, which the wisdom
of ages had imposed for the mutual benefit of so-
ciety."

GALWAY, MARCR 4.-11 we were to publish all
the .communications that lie before us upon the
subject of those marauders, our whole Paper
would not be sufficient for the purpose. in the
neighbourhood of T4lBlll, Mr. Blakeney, of Ab-
bert, and his relative, Mr. William Persse, have
been unceasing its their exertions, which, aided
by Captain O'Keefe, of the 73d Regiment, have
been productive of the best effects. In a late
nightly petiole through the County, near Horse-
leap, they took twenty.five 'prisoners, six guns,
4 cases of pistols, sod 3 blunderbusses, and sent 12
of the prisoners to 'foam gaol. They fell in with
the Rev. Mr. O'Rorke, who, with a, party of the
Poi ice, had also tak ensome prisoners —one of whom
presented and snapped his gun at a Policeman,
but without effect ; this ruffian was, after a short
struggle, wounded, and brought its. a prisoner,
with his arms upon him.

Since writing the foregoing, we are happy to
learn, that the military force of this conn'y will
be increased to 5,000 men on Tuesday next.
Every village of arty note will have a party of the
army stationed in it, so that we may now hope to
sec the rettirn of peace, order, and confidence to
our athieted couni!,,,..—(Adrertiser.)

THE WRIT SUSPENSION BILL

MR. EDlTOR—Whether the-House of Commons
in compliince with the licentious wishes of- a
rabble without doors, or a sincere desire to cleanse
their Assembly of corruption within, the end in-
tended by their late Bill, to suspend calling on
certain Boroughs to send Representatives to Par-
liament, is undoubtedly the same; but the means
not corresponding with it, and being too zealous
and righteous over much, the Lords in their
cooler deliberations have tempered the voice be-
low stairs, and wisely declined pasaing a Law,
whereby the sins of the guilty would be visited
on the innocent, and on account of a few vitiated
voters to draw comparatively the pure and inde-
pendent into the vortex of their delinquency, and
punish them for not submitting to be bribed and,
thence putting up their votes for sale to the
highest bidder !
But Sir, the object of greater consideration is,
that eight Members would he wanting in Parlia-
ment dosing an indefinite time of suspending the
Writs for their_ Election, and a proposed dis-
franchisement of all the voters ! This is extrava-
gant in the extreme, and should a Bill hereafter
pass the Commons for such a purpose, the same
moderation which grounded the Lords in their
rejection of the former, it is natural to expect,
will influence their matorer judgment to reject
an enactment that takes away an ancient right
of utufewling constituents.

Let—the Commons, therefore, pause and ponder
over what the Lords have said anti clone on the
subject ; let them beware, lest in depriving legi-
timate voters of their liberties they affect their
own, and in their attempts to cure disease they in-
flame it by t belt utfdicines. Agressilque nsedendo,

Lords.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS, AND EXPIRING LAWS' ACTS.
Ma. EDITOR—In continuance and confirmation
of the arguments advanced in a former Letter,
you will oblige one who sympathizes with the un•
fortunate, by inserting the following observations
relative to CALENDAR MONTHS.
In the distribution or division of calendar time,
we reckon numerically, and to reckon a calendar
month, we commence
_with the Ist day of that
-month. The first Calendar Month after the meet-
ing of the late Session of Parliament, commenced
on the Ist of December, and the third Calendar
Month from the same period expired on the 29:h
of February.
A reckoning from the 23d of November to the
23e1 of February, would not embrace three Calen-
dar months, although in point of time it would
include or many days as compose three' Calendar
Months—for instance seven days in November,
31 in December, 31 in January, and 22 in Feb-
ruary, would constitute 91 days—being the like
number as the three Calendar months of March,
April, and May—but with this difference; in the
first reckoning we take a part of four Calendar
month,;—in the second reckoning we take three
Calendar months complete ; that is, commenced,
continued, and expired.
Suppose the Legislature to have enacted, :hat
the Insolvent Laws should continue in force till
the expiration of three Law Terms after the com-
mencement of the Session of l'arliament ; surely a
part of Michaelmas Term, and a part of Hilary,
could not have been considered as one Term—
but the reckoning of three whole Terms must
have commenced with that of Hilary.
An Ara, an Epoch, a Century, and a Calendar,
synonituously have a numerical reckoning from a
specific day, which is the first dal of such i-Era,
Ep.)ch, .Century, and Calendar, or Register of
ReAoning, and is, in either case, composed of
part of two such respective designations or distri-
butions of time ; no more than the distribution of
a specific number of men from the three Regi-
ments of Foot Guards would constitute one dis-
tinct Regiment of Guards.
" CALENDS, Calendce, properly the first day of
every montl; if pridie be placed before it, then it
signifies the last day of the foregoing month, as
Pridie Calenda : Dec. was the last day of Novem-
ber. If any number be placed with it, it signifies
that day in the former month which comes so
much before the month named ; as the. 10th Ca-:
lends of October is the 20th day of September ;
because if one begins at October,. and reckons
backward that 20th day of September is the l'Oth
day before October; so time 7th Calends of Decem-
ber would have been the 2311 November.
(See Hopion's-Concord.)
If in the.tuontli of April next a Wail gives bond
for paytueni of .1001. on the 29th of Februyy
then next,-he is not hound to pay that month until
the 29th of • February actually arrives, although
three months of Febmuary may have passed before
the Bissextile or Leap Year. Payment on the
first of Akre!) %%odd not be a performance of the
contract, but the payment_must be made on the
29th of February, commenced in the year in which
such payment is made.

(See 1. Leon WI. Case 132.)
Every Calendar month, like every other distri-
bution of time, as an Epoch, or _Era, should be
reckoned numerically, and not as constituted of
two parts; of a Calendar month, Epoch, or CEra ;
i e. to have a commencement, a duration, and

From these premises, I conclude that the In-
solvent Acts, continued by the 59th Geo. 11l ,
were in force on the 28th of February, the three
Calendar mouths appearing front the arguments
(which are offered with submission), having only
expired on the 29th of February last.
I am aware that much contrariety of opinion
may be expected, and with a mind perfectly open
to conviction, submit my arguments to the Public
by way of relief to my anxiety for the sufferings
of indigent and unfortunate men in car

" The intelligence received yesterday from
Spaii, by the ordinary Courier, is not later than
that before pt&shed ; the Letters and Madrid
Gazettes are of the 24th ult.

"The Bayonne correspondence of the 29th
confirms what was detailed respecting the action
at Malaga on the 19th, between the Royal Troops
and the Rebels,- the result of which was the pre-
cipitate departure of the latter, who were, it is
said, marching on Grenada,
" It is no longer doubtful that Mina is in
Navarre. It is understood that a strong detach-
ment of his old partisans were waiting for him at
San Esleban, in the Valley of Bastan, and an-
other near Pampelnna. General Areizaga, I►ow-
ever, the Governor of the Province of Guipoxcoa,
will be enabled to assemble from 3 to 4,000 men,
which will be enough to frustrate all Mina's
projects.

SUCCESSFUL WHALING VOYAGE.--The ship
William and Eliza arrived at New Bedford, with
2500 barrels of oil, from the coast of Chili. This
is the largest quantity of oil ever brought into the
United States, by any vessel, in one 'voyage.

SLAVE TRADE.--Between the 13th and 20th of
January, three vessels arrived at the Havanna'',
with upwards of 500 Slaves from the. African
Coast.

St. Thomas Papers were received this morning
to the 14th January. We find in them no news
excepting the following :--7-We have been favour-
ed with a sight of a Letter of a very late date,
from Cape Henry, St. Domingo, which states,
that GREGOR WGREGOR was then in that city,
and appeared to be in high spirits. He had ex-
pressed his determination of proceeding to the
Main to join I3ouvAa.
FROM CURACOA.—We have - received a file of
Curacoa Courants to the 10th of January. The
Courant of the 24th of December, announces the
death of his Excellency, the Vice-Admiral Him-
/teal', Governor-General of Curacoa; he died on
the 20qi December, after a short illness, in the
57th year of his age ; his body lay in state the
following day, and in the evening was interred
with military honours. From Margaritta, we
learn that 1500 men arrived there from Ireland,
and encamped at Pampton, and would soon pro-
ceed to the Main, as preparations were making
for that purpose. Admiral BRION was in the Island
The state of affairs in that Island scents to be
very miserable ; the Island scarcely enjoyed any

FROM THE HAVANNAH.—A private Letter says,
" I arrived here on the 17th inst, and am !lorry to

say I found a bad market. There are about
18,000 barrels of flour here for-sale, 10,000 of

WASHINGTON, FEB, conformity with 8.
Resolutipn passed by the Hoph,sef Representativesyesterday,.and -theTsithsequent a•djournment, the
House met this day, at eleven o'clock ; but a
quorum not appearing within a few minutes of the
time, a motion was made, and carried, for a call
of the House. Atter calling the names the first
time, and commencing the second call of the ab,
sentees, it was agreed to stop further proceeding!.
Some time before 12 o'clock, the House agaits
went into Committee on the Missouri Bill, whets
Mr. Coox, of Illinois, finished his speech. Mr.
HEMPHILL then took,the floor, on the same side,
in favour of the restriction, and, after continuing
an hour and a half, he reluctantly save way for
motion to rise, at about three o'clock. Mr.
HEMPHILL, in the course of his speech, displayetl,
much acute reasoning. It is understood that Mr.
CLAY, the Speaker, will follow next.—We have.
no news of importance.

The United States' frigate Macedonian lay at
Valparaiso on the '23d of October; she had•beers
previously cruizing on the coast. She was to sail
for Lirna in the course of a few days, and was ex-
pected to cruize along the coast of Peru and Quito.
Lord COCHRANE and his fleet sailed from Valpa-
raiso, on an expedition, supposed against Lima.

The affairs of Spain continue every day to co.,
cupy the attention of The Morning Chronicle; but
with its usual consistency, while it professes igno•
ranee of the real state of the Country, it affects to
be Minute in its accounts of particular events, and
affects to know the designs of both parties. IT,
however, never fails in expressing doubts of
intelligence from loyal sources, to indicate- its
hostility to Monarchy itself. It says this day.
that " We have no accounts but those derived
from the Courier sent up_ by the Royalist Party,
and these again received a second version be.-
fors they were published in Paris." It would
be in vain to enquire of The Chronicle why the
Royalists of Madrid, in prep3riug their ac-
-counts should want " a second version" at Parisi
when, of course, intelligence fully prepared, must
have been received if disguise were neeessary.—r•
To prove the intuitive knowledge of The' Chronicle,
having " no accounts," it says " RIE-Go's

grand object was to penetrate, as soon as
possible to Granada, where his presence would
liberate many victims." What instinctive sa-
gacity in a Paper that has " no accounts!'
We may as well hazard a conjecture as Ms
Chronicle, and perhaps •upou more probable
grounds. Why then, we might ask, may it not
be supposed that MINA, who is a very intelli-
gent man, as well as a good Officer, and who ten.'
dered service to his Country against the French
Invaders, has been cured of republican notion;
in France and returned to Spain, in order to
make peace with his Sovereign, and by the
efficacy of his name and talents, to support the
