Lord Mayor : but nothing has transpired as to
the nature of his disclosures. Hooper was not,

James Slra4,' and given into the custody of a
constable; since contrived to escape: Three
of the rioters who srere taken with arms in their
hinds in the Minorils, and who were safely lodged
ilftfirYiiirclXO-nse at Aldgate, have also been
glittered to escape. This remissness Or %inlation
of ditty requires innnediee invesrigAtion,'and we
are happy to hear that' an is'abont to tulle

Every hour almost brings to light fresh rioters
who have heen taken in different quarters.

Griffiths, of the Lirnbeth.office, tool two men
at a paiblic-lionle iii Whitsaapei, one *tattled
no/dsworth,. and the other Irwin : they hod) had
enthuses itur.pistOls.
Six othersp, seized with arms found on them,
taveheen taken to Lantbeth.office most of them

appear to be sailors, and all are by some proof or
other connected with the rioters in the Minories.
Mr. 114 e, the gunsmith, recognises the pistol and
brlt worn by one, and another has his hand cut
with glass, which seems to iden►ify him with the

sailor who broke through Mr. Potti's window.
The Lord Mayor, Altleratan Sir James Shan,

of the Corporation of London, have had a con-

tinct account of tits contusion with the Watson*

thegresit lemtlet of all their alfakys., He has nant.
ed the several hours at which they held their
meetings, and partieularly the Brown Bear, Se -

the Committee, ,Prgstati, tliiugrreing with the

rest of the pat:ty, was struck oil the list. The
last meeting they, had, previous to ths; day in Sps-
fields, was held at the Carlisle. All the parties

were at the meeting on Monday, and the younger
Airatson, who harangued the twoesubly from a wag-
gon,, afterwards headed the party which advanced
towards the City. Hooper states, that having,
Leached Clicspade, he suddenly .lost sight of
young Watson, but denies that he had himself
carried the colours.
Preston, upon being arrested, expressed the ut-
most astonishment, broke out into several voci-
ferations, and frequently demanded of Drink-
water, the officer, to produce the warrant upon

which he was secured. Since his arrest he has
spoken freely of his connexion with the. Spa-
fields Committee., ne states, that pt one of their
late meetings te heard propositions which Jte dis-

liked, and viewing them as mischievous, he -se-
eedvd Irons them as an officer, but remained still
tree to the general system, which was in itself
excellent. He had beers engaged in the plan for
eight years, and had during .that time written to
the late Mr. Perceval, on the subject. The psi-
souer, at intervals, expressed strongly his anger at
being Confined—said he bad " never before been
in captivity,'' and IlFelareti that since he was de-

privedof his liberty, every thing which had been
intended should be proceeded an would be
effected, but plunder. should be avoided,"
