All the Committee was there escept Hari isoa. %illness reported that he and Watson had also inspected the barracks to see how all the asenuee might I.e tiled at once ; that there were six avenues to hang-street Barracks, and only two to Portelau.strect Barracks. Watson was desired to valentine bow mud' combustibles it would take to tire all the avenues at the same time, and they appointed the next Sunday fur a general Meeting of the Csenneitie. at eleven. to arrange the whole plan. 'limy did inert ou the Sunday and in the semen time he bad ordered 2ao pike heads of flunky and pawl him dos. so advance. This tiewuod said he had inquired where handles were to be got, 'sand that they 'Mean be oletaioed at some place behind the laiug's Bench. The next Sunday nurseling they all met, the „home was searched, to see that no one was coneraleal, and they lie4an their deliberations. Thistlewood pcoduced a snap of London ; first the reads wile marked out to the places of attack—they were arranged where every 'non was to take his station as a genteel. The Committee were all generals. Dr. Watson proposed Thistlewood to be commander in chief, ars he fouucl ail the money. They were to be armed with ).Lltes and different other weapons—whatever they could get. Watson the elder was to set tire to Portman-street Barracks --the na aerials 'Hothoused for the purpose were pitch, tar, rosin, turpentine, spirit. of wine., sulphur, dc. The thing was to be dour by attacking and setting the to the barracks .at every avenue, at One teolock in the morning. All persons asset in the meets WPM to he slopped; gentlemen's carriages -were to be stepped, the hoe ses taken Irma them and mounted by men who were to art as eavaley. After this, witeleve was for join the raster Watsou at the top of Os ford-road, near the :Park, mass havina ° seen that noise rSe3p , -d 'fron t the hooting Or the barracks. Harrison also Was to join th , le with the Roo pieces-of artillery ; a volley W.'S to be filed to chew they had got alum Some ' , daimon wire to be left at Hyde-park [hac to protect the gnus. They were thou to .proceed to to barricade the avenues to the Park, to bassi 'settle Portman -street, and all the entrunces in that quarter, efsr the pin pose of prevelaing uny eavalry.frOill coming in elan might be out of quarters. They were then to go to the Pie -caddly gate, (witnese means the turnpike gale at the corner .eta Hyde-park. Piccadilly ;) that gatst was to Ise chained and -I leaded, and a party was to be left there to fire ou any .horse that might come from the country—then to proceed to Charing-cross and the bridge (wino-its means Westminster lohlg,e), and barricade MI tlioreabouts, to stop any troops Iliac might come in by way ofClielsea. As soon as Thistlewood and the younger Watson had secured the gents, (which wit alesi had already said they were ordered toaake), they were then to attark the gonsmiths' shops and oil shops.; every shop where any arms or combnstible materials could be got. This tlewood end young Wataon were to block up erevy place from Guy's liindiane to St. Cites's, where 'Thistlewood was to make Les grand stand; a gun was to point tip Tottenliameourt .Road. Preston's business was to attack the 'Power; young Watson was to proceed from St. Giles'; to Cumberland-gate, barricading all the seennesam the right as be went ou. Pres ton, it' lie failed of taking the Tower, was to barricade ton dan bridge against any artillery that might-conic from Wool wich, then to barricade Whitechapel against any troops that vapid come that way. After that, ;Preston was to join the a ttain body at the Bank, which was known by the cant Haile or The Oki Lady," as the Tower was by the name of" The Old Gentleman," or " The Old Man," et was all - the same. Whilst these plans were forming, Thistlewood asked Watson what the eorobustibles would cost, and how much would he wanted for each avenue to the barracks? Thistlewood bid the Doctor calculate it ; the Doctor made a calculation that that the whole would eost something short of 1001. Thistle avocet then said, " Do not spare a matter of 201. let us roast them well.' Dr. Watson observed, that the combustibles week, burn so rapidly, and the stench so strong, as to slide NI the soldiers in a few minutes. The next day, after (leis -plaii was settled, witness and the younger Watson were de s;ned to go look for a 'twist between the two barracks, to be oniar them, in which the combustibles and arms were to be lodged, they were to say the house was wanted for acv bllsi- LiebS they chose—they said an oel and colour shop, liocaase — then the eonalmstibles could be bloaght in witholit, ally sus *ciao. The whole Committee seas present when this It.ti- Le.. 5 was settled. Thistlewood said to witnese. " Do not .131azid the price err the hones, at we do not intend to pay for at," and then ordered witness and young Watson to go about' :Ow Louse next prorn;ne . and the Doctor to bring Mt , coin bustibles. In agreeing for the house, young Warron was to pats fur the master who wanted it, and Witness for his ter •eat. Wane.), held the fourth place in the Committee, Dr. Warren proposed him for it. 'Thistlewood was to be the tirst,. Ttt. Watson the second, Harrison the third, witness the f.airth—Preeton proposed yoesog Watson the fifth, and hien- • lilt' the last, -on account of his lameness. It was then set t isd that they should appoint a Committee, the Committee of. Pahlie Safety—it was Thistiewood who proposed it. This sCotomitiee was to he called togs tier titles they (witness and •Illtilitertythad got the better el the soldiers, or been joined .by them. Twenty-four semes.were mentioned to form the 4 7 ( omenittee ; witness remembers the following names :—Sir :a • raneisßurdett, the 'Lord Mayor, Lord Cochrane, Henry Brun, Fag.

Witness came away with 'lliistlewood, who said as they were coming along, that the miter) of the people was, they wanted arms, and be then ordered witness to get 250 pikes :ions.. Toon; 11 arson went to Casser, who refused without three mouths rent paid, and that he had not got the house. The whole Committee met no the following euuday, in Greystoke Place; Harrison pro posed that 4, they had been disappointed of getting men, they should eolleet a public meeting. 'I his was unitaimoted agreed to, and Spatields propostd as the place. Thistle wood and the elder Watson went to see the round, and re• . ported that it was a famous place, near the Tower nod the Bank, so that the town might he bike,' by surprise. Thistle wood said, " Now, Doctor, draw up a hand bill that may be distributed or stuck on the walls as a placard. ninotie the low er orders nut of employ in the Borough, Spitallields, Petty France, Paddiegton ' and where vor there ate most mecha nics and (ohms without employ." This WAS accordingly written by Doctor Watson. The elder Watson and witness then went to the printer's tot the bills ; the printer, who was out, came in in a few minutes, said he had been at some office to knots it' he could legally print them, as he Vial afraid of being brought into trouble, and had beta in a scrape before, therefore he would destroy those he hail printed, and give them the paper for the remainder ; the printer kept the bills in his own lianas, and would not even ehow them; young Watson then arrited, and proposed to tear of Ilse printer's name at the bottom ; the printer would not agree ; the elder Watson brought away the paper to a public house, from whence witness hronght it to the Committee, and reported Butt the printer refused , witness does not recollect his name —it may he tritest er ; then the elder Watson said he would go to one Scale, in Tottenham Court Road, a ho would print 250 immediately, npon ROM! extra payment: event accordingly, and came back and resorted that 258 -would be printed by eight o'clock next morning. Dr. Watson then said he could get a man to distribute the bills and stick the placard,: at 2s. ed. the small, and 4s. MI the large ones ; it was next agreed that letters slimed be written to Niel.% Burdett and Mr. Hunt, inviting them to the meeting at Spa-fields, and the advertisement for the raper was given to Watson, the elder, with seven shillings to pay for it. The whole committee came in the afternoon to the Cock, and the men wets: .paid there, and were desired to come nekt morning. They did so and went into the streets, as on the slay before, with the hand-hint, having the placards on their back. A meeting in Spa-fields was agreed upon, atilt the plan was detailed to Llooper as follows—that the two WilIM)1111 were to address the mob from a waggon at twelve o'cl9ek, to he befureitand with Hunt, who was to 40040 at one, and if the spirit of the people appeared good, Thistlewood seas to . itimp down .frosn the waggon and head the twoh into town ; they (witness and i the rest of the committee) weeds to jump down along with him, having cockades in their hats or bosoms. and with a .flag. If the mob said they wanted weapons, they (the counnietee) were to say they should soontnd them in the gunsmiths' shops. Scarcely one gunsmith's shop had been left without inspec tion, to see what arms they contained, and where siteuted. This was tnentioticd by the elder Watson or by Thistle wood. Whet' the arms were thus procured, the Bank and the Tower were to be taken by surprise. If the Bank was taken, they were to get on the top of it, and on the tops and in the windows of the neighbouring houses, to kill the soldiers by throwing any thing they found, such as bottles ; and if the Bank was in danger, of being retaken, they were to destroy the books in order to do away the National Debt ; this was the plan detailed to Hooper; they met on the Tharsday, that is, the committee met; Hooper, being one, sentont placards and hund bills as before ; met again in the evening, but Preston came there only for some bills: I went to the 'Power three or four times, once with 'f hietlewood, and the other times with young Watson—l distributed a great munv bills in the Tower—twice on those occasions I showed the soldiers the tri-colotired cockades—it was in one of the taps—half a dozen soldiers might be present—we conversed with the soldiers, we asked them whether they would like to work for a master that would give them double wages, or be as they were Whether they would sooner fight for a big.loaf or a little one ? ' One of the Jury.—Were these questions asked in a tam pering manner, secretly ?—No, they were spoken aloud ; the people we were drinking with could hear ; they said they all wanted a big loaf. Conrt—Did you and young Watson report to the committee what you had done ?—Ves ; and how we found the spirit or the ;people. The witness then proceeded :—At one of the esoetings either Thistlewood or the elder ‘Vatson said it would he well if we could get a couple of hundred young women and dress them in ;I;te, for them tirearry small flags, and have cock ades, or if we could 4et money enough to dress them all alike, for the purpose of walking tirst, in order to take the attention of the soldiers, so that they should not ride over. iss, and give them time to address the people. On Friday, the.S9tli of Novemh-r, T end young t 1 as on weld through Exeter Change, to see how many pistols, guns, and sobris, there were hanging up, and at the gun-shop opposite.
