DOW-STREIT, FRIDAY NIGRT.—Our readers will
►seollect that at the time of the Cato-street Plot,
a person named John Pelia was stated to be
one of the principal conspirator*, and a reward of
40411. was offered by the Government for his ap-
prehension. This man contrived to elude the at-
nso.ut vigilance of the Police, and it was long ago con-
cluded that he had succeeded in getting oat of the
country. Two or three days Are, however, souse cir-
cumstances care to light which revived the exertions
of the °dicers. Ruthven, Ellis, and Westcott, were
entirely engaged in pursuit of him the wholeof yester-
day, and at nine o'clock at night Ellis and IVesteott
received certain information that he was at a house in
Short's-gardens, Drury-hole. They accordinuzly pro-
ceeded thither, and after waiting a short time they sew
Patin rousing from the boom in company ei ills two or
three other men. They suffered the whole to pass
them a few paces, and then Ellis sprang upon him
puidioniag his arms firmly behind, whilst IVesteott
faced him with a drawn codas. The prisoner seemed
to intend a stout resistance, though his compailiosis all
ran away, but IVestrott seizing one of his arms, and
therehy leaving Ellis at liber►y to draw a pistol from
his belt—lie quietly surrendered and was brought to
the office. Mr. Birnie was out at the time; but infor-
mation of the capture ..ving been sent to hire, he
came instantly and took a short examination of the
prisoner's identity.

mation he haul reecho!, he firmly believed the pri-
soner to he the person named Palin, wham name was
so frequently mentioned on the trials of 'fhistiewood,
lugs, Brunt, Ike., and for whose apprehension the Go.
veroment acted a reward at that time. One of the
patrol, liaison! Avis, swore the• he knew the prisoner
to be the wan, from having seen him as a soldier in the
East London Militia.

Mr. liiRNIE nuiv wilted the Prisoner his name, and
he replied that it was John Patio. The fulloning dia-
logue then ensued
