roe, clpt. Rodgers, arrived last evening
from liverpool, which she left on the
evenin. of the fourth. Among the pas
sengep are Gen. Wives the Spanish
Ambassador and suite.
Capt Rodgers has favored us with
papers to the date of his sailing, and
London. papers TO the I'd ult. inclusive.
They, however, furnish but little news
of interest.
Parliament was prorogued on the 9th
Feb. to the 9Th March. In the speech
delivered on the occasion, read by the
Lord Chancellor, he says:
"Deeply as His Majesty lamented
that designs and practices such as those
which you have been lately called upon
to repre,s, should have existed in this
free and happy country, he cannot sui
fciently commend the prudence and
firmness With which you directed your
attention 10 the means of counteracting
them.
/" If any doubt had remained as to the
nature of those principles, by which the
peace and happiness of the nation were
so seriously menaced, or of the excuses
to which they were likely to lead, the
hagrantand sanguinary conspiracy which
has Lately been detected, must open the
eyes of he most incrcdulous, and must
vindicae to the whole world the justice
and expediency of those measures to
which you judged it necessary to resort,
in defente of the laws and constitution OF
the kingdom"

were no proceedings at the Secretary's
office yesterday in the case of the con-
spiracy. There have been no arrests
since Monday, nor have any further par
ticulars of this horrid plot transpired.
The precise time and mode of:trial of the
conspirators is not yet fixed. Should
they be indicted for murder, their con-
viction is certain. The government, it
is presumed, will proceed against them
on the more heinous offence of high
treason. 1t is supposed the trials will
not come ON until after the election.
