POWDER PLOT.

This conspiracy, commonly calledGunpowderTreason.
was happily discovered the night before it was to have
been put in execution. The conspirators hired a cellar
under the House of Lords, and lodged 56 barrels of
powder in it ; the whole was covered over with faggots
and billets, and the doors of the cellar boldly flung
open; as if it contained nothing dangerous. The design
was to blow up the King (James I.).Prince Henry, and
all .the Lords and Commoners who were to be present
at the opening of Parliament. The Princess Elie .bath
(a child) was to have been proclaimed Queen ; and it
was awed to educate her in the principles of the Boman
Catholic religion. A few days before the meeting of
Parliament, Lord Monteagle received an anonymous
letter, advising him not to attend, as they would re-
ceive a ten ible blow, and )et they should not see who
hurt them. This letter was communicated to .the Secre-
tary of &ate, and afterwards to the King. and it was
thought advisable to inspect the vaults below the Houses
of Parliament. About Midnight Sir Thomas Knevet,
a Justice of the Peace, was sent, with proper at tenclants.;
and before the door of? the vaults finding Guido Fawkes,
who had just finished all his preparation,. he imase•
diately seized him. and turning over the faggots, he
di-covered the powder. Fawkes, after having made a
lull discovery of all the conspirators, was executed its
Westminster, in January 1606 ; and is still annually
burnt in effigy on the sth of November. Seven of h.:
accomplices met the same fate.
