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.

J ean Ron St. Andre, laid to have been beheaded by the Dey of Algiers, was the Commillioner of the Convention on board the French fleet during tne gluiioua action of the ill of June.
