part of the 'Cato-street gang, Ruthven and Salmon,

removing the prisoners in-custody, not fully commit-
ted for trial, from the House of Correction, Coldbath-
fields, and Tothill-fields Bridewell. In their removal

fully committed on a charge of High Treason. • Ro-
bert George is the only one of the prisoners who was
present at the Cato-street assembly, and he, like the
prisoners already committed, seemed to he in the
lowest state of poverty ; and although he kept a
house in Chapel-street, Paddington, at the time when
he was apprehended at Wapping„ waiting to join the
East Indianian as a servant, he had only two shillings
and sixpence in his pocket.
On the arrival of the warrant from the Privy Coun-

accompanied by Mr. Adkins, the- Governor of the
Prison, and two of the Bow-street Officers. The
coach was guarded by a party of the Life Guards.
After Robert George was fully committed, Viscount
CHETWyND very humanely promised his father and
his wife an order to visit him on the following day,
it being so arranged that the father was to visat.him
first.—A young woman, of rather interesting appear.
ante, said to be the sister cf Georges was observed
anxiously Waiting at the door of thellome Office,

an affectionate tone, bade her farewell.
Thomas Preston, the cobbler, and Hazard, the
schoolmaster, were only committed on charges of
suspicion of Treason ; the warrant of commitment of
which was entrusted to Mr. Draffin, the King's Mes-
senger, who, with Mr. Nodder, ;he Governor of
Bridewell, and two of the Bow-street,

cate, one of the Editors of The Observer, was arrested
at Louvain, by the MareChaussee, as he was coming

released on bail. M, Michel Dualmon, Editor of The

also been arrested, for having endeavourcd to excite

in an extraordinary manner."
