April 21. By the proceedings of the House of Com
mons lall night it will be seen that Mr. Sheridan, and other
gentlemen in Oppoiition, have come forward in the moft
patriotic and decided manner, and pledged themlelves to
all ill in defending their country. A bill palled both Houles,
and is to receive the Roy al aflent this day, for iulpending
the Habeas Corpus Aft. We are not yet prepared to
give an opinion on this measure. If it proves that £hc re
ports in circulation are tine the proceeding is fully warrant
ed. A week ago we heard that Government was in pof
feliion of certain information that societies had a plan for
fitting lire to London in various parts, with a v iew to efteft
a/evolution and favor the French. It is laid the principal
towns in England were to l>e fired, and the 21st of next
month was the day appointed for this horrid projeft. Go
vernment have written evidence of the faft; Inch at lead is
the aflertion oi thole in their confidence. Whether it lie
tiue or not that fm h diabolical ft hemes were in contempla
tion Government has rtlolved vo aft with vigor. Thuriilay
night was a time ot general arrests. It is intended to fi ize
and confine all the Members of the London Com (ponding
Society. _On Lhurfday night the following persons were
taken into cuftexly:
In a house in Cow Cross three or four Members of the
London (.orrelponding were taken, and about 500
pikes and daggers were found in their polfeffion.
J nomas Sjx-ncer, the Publifhrrtrf Pig’s bleat, was seized
in his house in Oxford road, by Ri\ett, the Bow street Offi-
Yer, and lodged in the house of correftion.
.At 7 o’c lock, Mr. Shaw, tlie Meflcnger, and a party of
Bo>v ILvet Officers, went again to Mia. Evans’* houie in
/., : ...r- -
Evans into tuftody, and ftie and her infant were conveyed I
to the Iconic of correftion, Gild Bath Fields. A paitv of
crfhcei in the houle till 3 o’clock in the morning,
and seized every person who entered it. The following are
the names of 8 persons (acquaintances of Mrs. Evans) who
were arrested at her house: Mr. Phelps, Mr. More, Mr.
Keir jun. Mr. Daw, Mr. Humphreys, Mr. Ebfworth, (one
of the bail for Mr. Evans on His former commitment) Mr.
Oxlade, and Mr. Savage.
Mr. Rone, a bookleller in Lower Holbom, and ■.who
keeps a reading room, with two gentlemen who were in his
reading room, were also apprehended on Thursday night by
Mr. Eaton the Meflcnger and 14 or 15 Row street Officers.
The two gentlemen were liberated at Bow street. A party
ot the Oliicers remained in the house till 6 o’clock yesterday
morning. Mr. Rone is in the house of correftion, Cold
Ratli Fields.
It now appears that the party arrested in Craven house,
as mentioned in this paper of yesterday, was tlie Executive
Committee of the Society, and the number taken was 35,
among whom were Ltmaitrc, who was implicated in the
popgun plot; Galloway, Secretary, and Hodgfon the hat
ter, ot Wcftininfter. They, had long aftcmbled in the room;
the house was kept by an old woman, and is inhabited by
other persons. This old woman on sweeping the floor picked
up a card, which upon lhewmg to fome person dilcovered
the business ot the meetings, ft is supposed that tome Very
important information has been obtained. The -Queen of
bohemia public house has no connexion with the place
where the parties were appreliended, nor do any political
societies meet there.
The Members of the Privy Council met at 11 yesterday,
when Lemaitrc, Galloway, Evans, Hodgfon, and Mrs. E
vans, were bi ought up from pnlou, and ieverally underwent
an examination. Evans refuted to answer any interroga
tories. Mrs. Evans was cailed in, but staid only a Ihort
time. t t
Among the papers seized belonging to the Committee of
the Correiponciing Society was one called, “ ‘1 he Torch, -
or a Light to enlighten the Nations of Europe in their way
towards Peace and Happiness,” partly extrafted from a
work entitled, “ l)e Volney’s Ruins,” tending to excite,
by way of dialogue, the middling and lower orders of the
people and the ioldiery against tlie legillative, ecdefiaflical,
and magisterial autnoritits of the kingdom. The circular
cauls of the Society were alio leized.
Mr. Bone underwent an examination, and his papers and
propolals for intended publications were invdligated.
Alexander Galloway can it- up to inquire after his brother,
and it is laid to make a voluntary surrender of his person
if called on. He was seized.
r l he Council broke up at 5 in the evening, when the pri
soners were lent back to their ditiercnt priicns.
We did not hear of any arrests lall night, but wc believe
many persons were appreliended in the country.
Yesterday we received Pa. is Journals up to the 18th
in ft. they contain notuing ot importance. Ihe late engage
ment between Sir li. Straciian and their gun boats is lpol <- u
of in their usual it vie of gafeonade, as may be seen in the

Corrt-fponding Societies, complain that they have no arms,
