ON Friday night last (upon an Information of a Treacherous Design against the present Government,) the Guards at Whitehall and Ken­sington were doubled, and the next day being Saturday his Maje­sty, as it is said, received a Letter from one of the Conspirators, intimating that there were Forty or Fifty Ruffians that had undertaken to Assassinate him as he went to Chappel; upon which a Councel was cal­led, and Warrants issued out against a great many of these Villains, of which Number the Following Persons are said to be, viz.

• Sir G. Barlet,
• Capt. Walbank,
• Lieutenant Bartlet,
• Captain Fitz-Partrick,
• Sir William Perkins,
• Mr. Boggs,
• Mr. King,
• Captain Durance,
• Captain Maxwell,
• Mr. Cranburne,
• Mr. Charnock,
• Mr. Porter, &c.
• Capt. Stow,
• Capt. Courtney,
• Mr. B. Blaire,
• Mr. Holmes,
• Major Holmes,
• Mr. Langhorn,
• Capt. Knightley,
• Mr..... Langhorne,
• Mr. Pendergrass,
• Captain Bierly,
• Major Lowick,

And we hear Fifteen, or more of them are taken: All their Party were to be Ready on this Occasion to carry on their bloody Tragedy, and if we may believe what is say, the Duke of Berwick is arrived in this City to Head rhe Rebellion, and the late King James is at Callais, de­signing to Embark for England.

These Persons concerned have been observed to be upon the Parrade at Whitehall, and likewise at Kensington for several days past. Divers of them are known to be Irish Papist.
