i~• , , - HIGH THE SON, FURTHER ACLOUNT. ~~ INTENDED ASSASSINATIONS.' The Metropolis was considerably agitated the whole of Thursday, in consequence of the arrest of some obscure individuals. charged with a crime of the greatest magnitude, and mast repulsive to the fillings of Englishmen. Information had Leen re ceived at the Office of the Secretary of State for the Ilome Department, that a number of persons had conspired w make an attempt oa the lives of his Itlajesty's Ministers, and that their atrocious project t% as to be carried into effect on Wednesday night, when Ministers had met at a Cabinet dinner at the 1 ,r 1 of Ilarrowby's, in Grosvenor-square. Their eiabolical purpose, was fortunately frustrated by to apprehension of a number of the conspirators, but not without murder, and bloodshed on their part, is resisting the civil power. Mr Birnie, the Magistrate, having put warrants into the hands of the Police Officers tbr the apprehensien of the parties, repaired with them to a stable in Cato.street, Edg wnre.road, where the conspirators had assembled, who refused to surrender, when it was found neces s.ay to force the door. A fierce contest ensued, but at length the Police Officers gained the ascen dancy. In the contest Smithers, a very meritorious (Aker, received a mortal wound, and almost in stantaneously expired. The lights were then put out by the party in the loft, and some of the clivers were wounded. A detachment of the Guards havirg arrived, Capt. Fitzelarence headed the aeldiers, who dashed into the loft, which was filled with smoke. One of the villains presented a pistol at the Captain, which he was on the point of firing, when a serjeant of the Guards, named Legge, rushing fbrward to put it aside, received a shot in Lis arm. It is supposed that about fifteen of the renspirators escaped at the time, and nine indivi tle e:s were taken into custody, who were conveyed to 11.ov-street, and after Mr. Birnic lind taken the depositions against the prisoners, they were con veyed to tile House of Correction :dealt twelve o'eleck on Wednesday nigh, to be brought up again for re-examination. Arthur Thisilewood, who charged with the murder of the untbrtunate e.'elithers, was taken in bed Thursday tbrenoon, at an o.scure house in White -street, Mooi kids, and aonveyea to Bowestreet, and fiom thence was car r'2,l to Whitehall, where he was examined before the privy Council, and also a person of the name of Bernet, charged with being the second leader of the conspirators. _ _ 'Cho militery preserved thc. , strictest discipline rad.:r Captain Fitz Clareuce.—When Thistlmvotxl va:: taken ; be said, " The game is ny; I make no resistanee." , —lt is not yet, we believe, deternzined wl:etber they are to be tried or not by a Spe c ial ceraninwion ; and it is reported that Parliament will sit longer than was expected.

John Wright received a stall on his right side, from s sword or sahre ; but, owing to his braces being rather thick, the point of the deadly weapon came in contact with them, which saved his life.

The man up ',tared very urgent to see the F.:!rl, but the porter did not give him any hopes of accomplishing his object, not knowing the man, and he refusing to tell his business, it not being usual to admit strangers to. see the Earl under such circumstances. The man, however, persevered in his desire and necessity of seeing the Earl, and that without loss of time, and he at length made use of the expression, that if be did not see the Noble Earl the porter would not be sitting in that chair (meaning the porter's chair in the hall) to-morrow. This alarmed and astonished the porter, and induced hint to believe that the man had something serious and alarming to communi cate to the Earl of Harrowby.

The man having informed the Noble Earl he had a deal more to communicate, Lc dis. mounted from his horse, and walked and talked with the man for some time. FROM LAST' G.IZETTE. PTS. W.
