My first and cloly object is to secure the safety of my dear country. It is acknowledged that it is only in the real strength of the laws, that means can be Abund for restoring internal repose and order, and making the nation respected by foreigners. Your duties, therefore, are inviolable obedience to the laws, and the most complete submission to the ordera of The Government : these are the virtues which dis tinguish a good citizen.

Aly duty orders me, at the same time, to recommend to you, to enjoin you, to remain in the positions which you have taken up in the contest with the enemy, and which you now occupy, and not to leave them in any manner, unless by the order of the competent authorities. The performance of This duty will be the most convincing proof of your -).betlience and your submission to tlw laws : a regu lation of this nature will serve as a rule for the pro- Government, till the National Assembly shall meet, according to the proclamation already published. (Signed) "J. CAPO DISTRIAS." (From the Journal des Debats.) • SMYRNA. MARVII L—The following is the text of the Hatti Sherif to the Greek Patriarch : " Mast faithful Patriarch and Greek Synod, we antiounce to von what follows : Ilt the note sealed with the Patriarchal seal which von lately presented to the Sublime Porte, you set forth that according to the justice and good faith with which Providence has endowed the Subs ime P or te, :s has always, in whatever concerns the defence and the hour of fortune and of life, placed on the same rank as Nis ia ajmana the tributary rayas eabiect to its abject aethority:: that under the im perial throne they have obtained a;! sorts of favours; that in particular the Greeks of the Morea and the Archipelago ettioyed greater privilegoa than any other ; that nevertheless, led away by vain ideas, they had forgotten the gratitude due for so many benefits, and had rebelled ; that the Sublime Porte, on its part, engaged in the punishment with the sole view of banishing the spirit of disorder, which bad inflamed their heads, and restoring them to the tranquillity mid welfare of which their ignorance had deprived them ; that hitherto those among them who have repented of their enterprise and have implored pardon, have experienced grace and compassion on the part of his Highness; that according to these promises it was to be presumed that all would eagerly resort to the imperial clemency, but that.. some so disposed to abjure their errors, and ask pardon, appear to feel that they %s ill be punished for their perseverance and insurrection; that, ho &ever, the path of inter ceasion being always open to favour the guilty, and the pardon of those who submit being one of the at- I tribhtea of royalty, it being well understood that no • foreigner has. any right to intelehre for the said rayas, you hope that hie Highness would deign to Send a merciful ea r to th e p ra y er an d intercession of the Patriarch who is the religious chief. By the • aforesaid Note you have asked that when the Greeks ,have once selenitted, they should be ae.cured from punishments for tater revolt, and that in eonsi derasSon of what they have suffered during their trotth i, s, they should be excused the capitation and other tributes which remain due since th e insurrec tion, that their hearts filled with consternation ellould he tranquillieed by coacessions calculated to secure their repose and welfare, under the auspices of his Highness, so long a they shall continue faithful; and that in the ease of your intercession beim-, ae .. eppted, you may be authorized to communicate to them that. good news. " The contents of your note have been comm eieeted to his High ness. In fact, as the P a t r i arc h has sincerely acknowledged, all the world knows th e generosity with which the rayas, who are established in the Imperial provieees., and who are faithf u l i n the observance of the (fume as subjects, have be en treated. The Greeks of the Morea and the Arehi sielago who enjoyed more favour than others, and who under the shade of the imperial throne, had more perfect tranquillity, whose commerce was treely carried on le land and sea,—those Greeks, I say, far from being sensible of such advantages, allowed themselves to be carried away by vain ideas and revolted against the Sublime Porte, who had been their parent and benefactor from generation to .elieratioh. They withdrew themselves from the peace which they enjoyed, and seemed by their oh tiaaey to call down upon themselves the severest bena i ties , nevertheless, the Sublime Porte, fol to,wing the principles of cle mency an d human i ty b y sch f, : h it has at all !Imes been guided, has always b een slow to p unish, and ha s never renounced its system of mercy. while chastising those who persist in revolt, order to bring back the others to theft' duty.

If the other Greeks return to their duty, recognheurg that they never can succeed in their enterprise; that having hitherto experienced only trouble` and mis fortunes, they must, if they proceed, still uselessly sacrifice themselves, their fortunes, and their lives, :and he lost for ever; if they repent of their former , aeanduet, and implore the pardon of his Highness, he, on his part, will treat them with all the clemency which the holy law enjoins.

The termination of the Easter Holida)s, and the re-assembling - of Parliament for the despatch of business, will speedily furnish interesting sub jects of discussion. The repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, so gloriously achieved in the House of Commons, has yet to pass through the ordeal of the Upper House, and the Catho lic Question, as well as the Corn Bill, is in its turn to excite discussion in Parliament, and anxiety throughout the Kingdom. ith regard to the Test and Corporation Acts, it gives us great satisfaction to hear that their repeat is not likely to be opposed by the Right Reverend Bench of Bishops. The high distinction of taking a lead In that opposition is supposed to be reserved for those most Chris tian and Church-going Noblemen, the Earl of ELDON and Lord REDE.snALE ; who, burning for theglories ofmart vrdom, are inclined to sacrifice what may yet remain to them of character, at the shrine of bigotry and intolerance. Without the • slightest chance of saving the country from the horrors of u nan i m i ty and internal cordiality, they are to record their solemn protest against those monstrous doctrines which advocate present de liverance to millions, and may ultimately extend the benefits of the Constitution to all who con tribute to the security, the wealth, and the honour of their country. Where, then, will be the rewards of orthodoxy anti blind devotion to the dominant faith, when none are opp resse d ibr their religious creed ? We cannot, however, help condoling with Mr. PEEL on the certainty of his having already forfeited the good opinion of" these learned and venerable Lords. That Right Hon. Gentleman may depend on it that they reckon him little better than a Radical, fur the part he has already taken about the amendment of the Criminal Code (from the reach of which they could always con trive to keep thernFelye- clear), not to mention the readiness with which he gave up the Test Act, on ascertaining the sentiments of the Lower House. They must contrast his conduct with the glorious days when such audacity as was exhibited by the majority of 145, would have have led to an immediate dissolution, and to the judicious outlay of secret service money for the purpose of ensuring less refractory Representa l tives of the People. But, they may say as DUGA EM DALGETTY does, mit pathetically, in the " Legend of Montrose," after talking in raptures of extorting money from the conquered provinces=" truly all that glory hastened to de cay." At the moment when Lord ELooN re signed the seals, a spell was broken which had enchained the land for ages, and those who op posed, and those who formerly acted with him, must alike regard him as unfit for the age in which he lives. All men are said to be improved by the trials and vicissitudes of life, and we are satisfied that their short absence from office has been of infi nite service to the Duke of WELLINGTON and Mr. PEEL. It has shown them that no party has a vested right in the offices and honours of the State, and in a few short months they must have heard more plain truth,' and acquired more practical experience of men's opinions, than during years, whilst invested with the sacredness of power and place. But passing thronzb the "re finer's fire" has at least got rid of the Earl of ELDON, who can no longer employ his groat, though dangerous talents, in misdirecting the counsels of the nation. The French Papers contain no further pews of an authentic character from the Banks of the Pruth ; but it appears that Admiral MIAILLIS, the patriotic Greek, has issued orders in strict ,conformity with those of his Government for the effectual suppression of piracy. For this purpose, not only the captains and crews of the piratical vessels are to be punish e d, h u t th e Go , vernors of those Islands who may happen to countenance their nefarious proceedings are to be punished with all the severity of the laws. , Count CAPO D'ISTRIA has addressed a Pro clamation to the Military Chiefs of Greece, in tuleating upon them the absolute necessity of obedience to the laws as the only means of in suring the independence of their country. We insert the Hatti Sherif of the Porte to the Greeks, offering them the armistice for three months—it might as well have been for three years. It is merely a ruse on the part of the ,Turks, which will only turn to their own con- never be troubled or questioned respecting their past offences; their property, lands, and domains, which, according to the law, are forfeited, and which are at the disposal of his Highness, shall be, out of pure generosity, restored to the living proprietors, or to the heirs of dead proprietors;. so the' lands and terri tory which they inhabit.be tyre hereditary and Abs. lute property of the Sublime Porte, and so his Highness has the_ right of governing and ad ministering them according to his pleasure, the ancient regulations relative to the administra tratipn of the Morea, and of other places, and to the welfare of the inhabitants, shall be con firmed on the same footing, and their strict and constant observance shall be secured. The Mus sulmans shall inhabit places and fortresses . which they formerly occupied; the Greeks, in their ch.: racter of Reyes, shall deliver up to the officers of the, SUblime Porte the fortresses, cannon, and other arms: or ammunition which are in their possession. They shall remain in their ancient territory; their churches, shall be restored to them, and in the same manner as heretofore they shall experience no interruption in the exercise of their worship. Though there might be demanded from them the capitation and ; other tributes, which have been owing for six or. seven years past, as well as the reimbursement, tin der the title of indeninity, of the considerable slims expended by the public treasury on account of their insurrection, nevertheless, out of regard for the in tercessimi made in their favour, these debts shall also be forgiven them. Moreover, to manifest his clemency towards his subjects, and to mark in a particular manner the complete amnesty granted to those who shall repent of their revolt, his Highness will excuse them the payment of the capitation and other tribute for one year from the day on which they shall submit. Finally, the province of the Morea shall be intrusted to a just and benevolent Pacha, and the Sublime Porte shall adopt all necessary measures for the tranquillity of the inhabitants and their security against every ag gression. Such are the advantages which his High ness is determined to grant. But if the Greeks, forgetting the gratitude they owe for the conces sions which his Highness promises them, and if they still persist, their offence will fall upon themselves in this world and in the next. " You will take care to communicate to them, in your character of Patriarch, this declaration, and to notify to them the consequeaces. It is to authorize you to do this that this reply is addressed to you."

Some further accounts have been received from Lisbon to the 6th inst., but they convey no additional information. Things Were left by the last accounts as bad as thee• could be—and were no worse. Hamburgh Papers of the Bth instant, received this morning, state on the authority of a mes senger who arrived at Berlin, from St. Peters burgh, that despatches had been received at the Imperial Palace of such importance that they were delivered into the EMPEROR'S own hands, and it was therefore supposed that they an nounced the passage of the Pruth.

His Majesty the Emperor has conferred on General Paskewitselt the title of Count Pp_skewitseh of Erivan. The Treaty of Peace with Persia arrived here yesterday. Te Deum was performed to-day in the churches of this city in commemoration of that important event. BFRLIN, APRIL 5. . . The official Paper of the Government at Potsdam con tains an order to the following effect :—Ford. de Witt, called V. Doring, whose real name is Ferd. John Witt, a native of the Danish dominions, who has been arrested, as well here as in many German States for his participation in secret intrigues, has, by his statements during the proceed ings against him, and by his own confessions, published now by himself, represented himself as such an ill famed adven turer that it would not be advisable to allow him to re side in his Majesty's dominions. The Police officers are therefore hereby enjoined, if the said Witt should be met with, to send him back over the frontiers the way he came. His Majesty will spend the holidays at Potsdam. We hear of a Congress to be held soon in Breslaw or Warsaw. Yesterday morning at nine o'clock, a courier arrived from St. Petersburgh, who came to the Royal Palace to deliver his despatches into his Majesty's own Lands. It is supposed they announce the passage of the Pruth by the Russians, and the departure of the Emperor to join the army. _ It seems to be certain that the recruiting of the army proceeding with great activity in Austria, so that even young men already appointed as officers are not excused, and are sent towards the frontiers of Hungary. APRIL 7. It was affirmed at Vienna on the 31st March, that news had been received there that the Turkish batteries at Na varin had sunk the English ship of the lin. , stationed be fore that harbour, upon which three Turki,h ships of the line and five transports bad entered the hay. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 7th inst. says, that the passage of the Pruth by the Russian Army is likely to be considered more as a mili tary demonstration than as the first act of a new war, but this is all supposition : FROM Tim POLISH FRONTIERS, MARCH 2.f• (A German Paper gives, under this head, the following article) :- The approaching passage of the Pro'', by the Russian army, must probably be considered merely as military de monstration, rather than the first act of a new war. It is reported that the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, in its circular note on this subject, has assured the other Powers that it will for the present confine itself to the military occupation of the principalities, it being the intention of Russia to give the Porte a certain time, within which it must carry into effect the stipulations of the treaty of Alterman, which a re not yet executed. The Danube will not be passed till the Porte shews that it means to persist in its faithless and in imical conduct towards Russia. Another Journal observes that the Guards, which xvere to leave in April, could not reach the Pruth before the middle of July. ODESSA, :MARCH 23. We have. news from Constantinopl e to the 15th of this month, from which it appears that no change had taken place tir2re. The ships that have arrived here from that city have limited firmans for passing the Bosphorus. The ships that have• been hired here by the Government have sailed partly to Sebaltopol and partly to the Danube to convey ammunition and provisions. The commence ment of hostilities seem to be at hand. No goods have arrived here from the interior of the Empire for this week past, the Government having put all the draught horses in requisition for the conveyance of military store,. VIENNA, APRIL 2.--Metalliques, 98 11-16 ; Bank Shares, 1010. By the Granger, BLENKINSOP, arrived at Dublin, from Belize, intelligence has heen re ceived which may be considered decisive of the end of those internal dissensions which have so long devastated Central America. By the above vessel, accounts are received from Guatemala of the 29th and 31st of January. The former, after giving some further details of the battle of Chiquemaula, in which the St. Salvador party had been totally defeated, proceeds to state that the property recovered by Colonel PERKS, from the plunderers, amounted to 400,000 dollars, and he had returned on the 25th, being received with open arms, as the Saviour of the Republic. The President resigned the command of the army, which was conferred on Colonel PERKS, with the appointment of General. The Salvador party had received and offered terms for peace, which, however, at the instigation of Col. PERKS, had been refused, who was to march on the Ist of February at the head of 4,000 well armed and disciplined men, and would be joined on the road by 2,000 more, with the intent of dic tating peace on his own terms before the town of St. Salvador ; but it was fully expected, as the force was so formidable that resistance would be in vain, and little or no fighting would take place. The murderer of Mr. O'REILLY, the English Consul-General, was executed on the 17th, and his head was stuck on a pole. — It is rather an extraordinary circumstance that a soldier, who was shot for desertion by Colonel PERKS, in the action of Chiquemaula, had since been discovered to have been an accomplice in the murder of the above unfortunate Gentle man, and had also been a servant in his employ.

The Court resumed its sittings this morning, fur the rial of London Special .Tory cases. REID, IRVING, AND OTHERS V. SMART. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 5,000/., the amount of twenty three bills of exchange, drawn by the defendant in favour of the house of Ken nedy and Maitland, on the house of Firebrace and Davison, then carrying on business at Havre. it appeared from the statement of Sir JAM FS SC ARLETT, that previous to the bills in question becoming due Fire brace and Davison stopped payment, and tlae plaintiffs, who are the celebrated brewers, conjointly with Messrs. Lennox and Maitland, advanced the money to take them up, t 9 save the credit of Kennedy and Maitland, who carry on business in America. Firebrace and Co.'s failure being known in America, Kennedy and Co. found it necessary to suspend their payments, -o that the drawer was the only solvent person to whom the plaintiffs could apply for payment. The bills were made payable at Paris, and the law of France differing in some respects from the law of England, a number of witnesses were called to prove that the bills had been duly protested and notice of their dishonour given to the defendant. France, by the code Napoleon, a bill is payable the clay it becomes due, no three days' grace being allowed, and on the next day if it is not paid it is protested by a notary, who details all the circumstances in his protest, which is taken as legal evidence in all the Courts of Europe. Sense difficulty having arisen in proving that the plaintiff's bed conjointly advanced the money, the Court directed a nonsuit. HUBERT V. HUTCHINSON AND OTHERS. This was an action breught to recover the value of a barge, with her cargo, run down by the ship Griffin, of which the defendants are owners. Sir JamEs SCARLETT and Mr. GURNEY" appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. BkotscitAx for the defendants. Wm. Swayne, the master of the barge called the James and Ann, stated, that on 13th March last, the barge was coming up the river from Whitstable to Waterloo-bridge, with a cargo of cement. The wind was N.N.W. The barge was tacking up the river, and had just tacked about abreast of the Chapman Sands, when the witness descried the brig Griffin corning down on the barge in 101 l weigh. Witness shouted out, and so did the other persons aboard. The brig was attempted to be put about, but the helms man afterwards desisted, and the brig struck the barge on the quarter, and she went down almost immediately. The witness, his wife, who was in the barge, and the mate were taken on board the Griffin. Witness was decidedly of opinion that the brig might have been easily so managed as to have avoided striking the barge ; but that the barge could not have got cut of the way of the brig by any exertion. Several other witnesses were examined, who were present at the accident, and they all concurred in stating that the brig might have tacked or backed her sails, and so avoided the barge. The plaintiffs case having closed, Lord TENTERDEN ob served, that it was so very strong a case, he put it to the discretion of defendant's Counsel whether he would go farther. Mr. BROUGHAM said, he was instructed by the owners to let the Captain of the brig tell his own story. Two of the seamen of the Griffin were then examined ; but their evidence only corroborated the testimony of the plaintiff's witnesses. Under the direction of the COURT, the Jury theretbre returned a verdict for the plaintiff. The amount of da mages to be left to arbitration. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY). OLD COURT. _ In consequence of the execution of Catharine Welch, the Court did not sit this morning until ten o'clock. John Hanson was indicted for the manslaughter of John Davies, in Gardener's-lane, Westminster. It appeared from the evidence, that a quarrel took place between the prisoner and the deceased, and that the former struck the latter, upon which a fight took place between them. They fought several rounds quite fairly, and the prisoner more than once offered to give in and shake hands, but the deceased refused. At length be fell, and died in about three quarters of an hour, The prisoner showed the greatest sorrow when he found his opponent to be seriously hurt, and offered every assistance in his power. The REconDER charged the Jury to find the prisoner guilty, as having been the occasion of the death of the de ceased, but said that it was not a case which called for any thing like severe punishment, for it appeared he was a man of a peaceable disposition, and had done his utmost to stop fighting before the fatal occurrence took place. The Jury returned a verdict of " Guilty." The RECORDER then sentenced him to be imprisoned for one week in Newgate, and then discharged. James Thomas Newton Baylis was indicted for steal ing two pistols, value 405., the property of Frederick Leo nard George Schweitzer. The prosecutor deposed that the prisoner occasionally worked for him at his residence in Exeter-street. Be tween twelve and one the prisoner was in the shop of the prosecutor, and on the same day the pistols were missing' He saw them at elm ea o'clock in his shop. Henry Sutton, a pawnbroker, deposed to taking the pi,o' tols in pawn from the prisoner betsseen one and two o'clOck on the day of the robbery. Au officer said, that when the prisoner was apprehended he asked if the prosecutor got his pistols again it all would be right? The prisoner, in his defence, said, that he was about to get a warrant for the prosecutor at the very time he w as taken into custody. The witnesses against him were, he contended, all perjured. Mr. Cook, a cabinet-maker, gave a good character to the prisoner for honesty, and also deposed that between one and two o'clock he was at his house. Another witness deposed that both th e p rosecutor an d the defendant were in his service, and th e f ormer h a d to ld him that he had seen the pistols as late as two o'clock in the day of the robbery. The Jury returned a verdict of " Guilty." The prosecutor then begged to recommead the pv4s9iler to mercy on account of his wife and family, and aged • mother. The RECORDER said, that in consequence of that Cecna ' mendation the Court would pass a lenient sentence, whith would,. he hop e d, ma k e a proper i mpression upon the.pri° soner., He the n sen t ence d hi m to one months' imprison ment, and to be kept hard labour. Barnard Benjamin and Samuel Benjamin, WereAn dieted for stealin g a 10/. Bank no t e , th e property of. George Wheeler, out of the dwelling-house of the said Geotge Wheeler. 'the prosecutor deposed, that he had a ten pound Bank note on the 27th of March, 1827, in a small 'desk in his . surgery. Having left his surgery for about fifteen minutes, on his return he found it, gone ; did not know the number of the note, but he had got it in payment of a cheque from the Bank of Sir James Esdaile ; never saw the note again until he ssw it at Worship-street; the drawer was locked but the key was in it. A clerk in the Bank of Sir James Esdaile, and an ap prentice to Mr. Wheeler, were examined, the latter proved that he was paid by a ten pound note, and the remainder in silver. He gave the 101. note he got at the Bank to his master. The former witness deposed to giving change for the cheque, and giving the 10/. note as part payment. The number was 12,638, dated the 2d of February. Has since seen the note. The number and date corresponded, but witness did not take down the year.. Did not know whether there might not have been another note of similar value and date in circulation at the tame time. The officer who apprehended the prisoner, deposed that he searched the house, and foun l the 10/. note there with other property. The note was here produced, but the clerk from the Bank could not prove it to be the note he paid for the Chequer because he never took down the year, although he took down the rest of the date. - The RECORDER said, that the case here clearly failed, and recommended that the bankers should for the future take down the year as well as the rest of the date. The Jury accordingly returned a verdia of Not Guilty. Mr. Wheeler then asked what was to be done with the note. The RECORDER—Why, you say it is yours. Mr. Wheeler—l do. RECORDER—I can make no order about it. The con stable must give it to whoever he thinks best entitled to it; The elder prisoner was again indicted for stealing a geld broach and other articles, the property of John Pratt:. It appeared that the shop of the prosecutor had been robbed of various articles, but his wife being absent, there was no proof that the articles produced had not been sold by her prior to the robbery taking place, and the prisoner was.therefore again acquitted. John Davies, a respectable looking youth about 1 4 years of age, was indicted for stealing combs to the value of 51., the property of Wm. Eroxup. The prosecutor deposed that he missed the property in . the evening, and soon afterwards the prisoner was stopped and the combs found upon' him. Another witness deposed to seeing him leave the shops and also to bringing him back again, upon which one comb_ was found in his pocket and two others in his hat. The prisoner in his defence said that a boy ran out of the shop and dropped the combs, which he picked up, sod was immediately taken into custody.—Verdict " Guilty of stealing under the value of 5/." The RECORDER then called him up fibr judgment, and sentenced him to be transported for seven years.' NEW COURT. George Cully and Thomas were convicted of stealing, on the 28th of February, a cask, the property of Mr. Danis, a brewer, residing on the Hampstead-road. Several brewers having recently lost a great number of casks, Duke and Brown, two Hatton-garden officers, were employed to look out for the thieves, and whilst they were watching the premises of a Mr. Linton, who carries on the business of a retail brewer' at Islington-green, and who was suspected to have some concern in tbs depredations, they observed the prisoners; Fagan had 3 cask on his shoulder, and went into Linton's yard and de posited it. On being taken into custody * they stated that they hsd found the cask in Smithfield. It was proved that Fagso had been in the employment of the prosecutor, and that bo therefore he had ample opportunity of knowing the mars' on his casks. The prisoners received an excellent character. EXECUTION OF CATHERINE WEL.CI4 FOR INFANTICIDE. OLD BAILEY.—(THIS DAY.) The case of this wretched woman has excited the greatest interest, from the evidence being wholly circumstantial, and in the opinion of most, insuffi cient to convict her of a crime which must be es , piated by death. The Jury in giving their verdict teemed perfectly conscious of this fact, as they hu manely recommended her to mercy, on the ground of the evidence being eirewmstantiul; she was con victed on Friday, and contrary to general expecta tion ordered for execution this day. She protested her innocence most fervently, and shrieked out in agony as she was dragged from the dock, that her soul would be in heaven. It will be, however, a source of genuine satisfaction, both to the Jury w ho convicted, the Judge who sentenced, and those per sons who from praiseworthy philanthropy exerted themselves in behalf of this unfortunate woman, to know that she has confessed her crime to the fullest extent. Although she continued after leaving the dock franticly declaring her innocence, ye t n o sooner did she sec a priest of her own persuasion (Roman Catholic), than she made every disclosure , Her defence that the child had died at the age of o fortnight, was a falsehood; she confessed to the Rev. Mr. Rolfe, the priest, that she had been living at a public house in the City-road, and there carried on an illicit connection with tie waiter. Het maiden name was Catherine Hayes. She left that situation, and was intimate with a man named Welch, who shortly after married her. The unfortunate infant was born about seven month , ' after this marriage, and her husband, who frequently' upbraided her with this fact, and his conviction that he was not the father, deserted her, with the intima tion that he would never again live with her while the child existed. Her affection for this man, who may be justly called the instigator of the murder, conquered even the natural fondness of a mother fat her child, and induced her to destroy the guiltleo Mahe. She admitted, with horror, that she strangled it by pressing her hand on its throat. The eyes of the little innocent were by this application violently strained, and she finished her infernal act by pressing them close into the skull. By these means the eye-balls were nearly crushed. Horrible as was her crime, she still entertained hopes of an acquittal ;, and imposed on every one by her protestations et innocence before her trial. She was a native of Ire land, as was also her husband. Her appearance, both at her trial and execution, was that of 0 ruddy artless country girl, of rather prepossessing features. Whilst with Mr. Rolfe she expressed the most sincere penitence ; and stated that, if she were sure of forgiveness hereafter, she would not mind the pangs of death, were they ten times greater than e lle expected. E x t r eme unction was administered to hei' the chill ston r y lla s id,' this morning, at a few minutes past eight, and s he Rev. Mr. Cotton attended to administer to her a e bt r ielte a n :; o fi r il bi e d e d p e i n a h ti o o l t d i. ing T an h y e c Cw o 'ai rn lsri rn stth u ica n rr ic " a Pa t r i rl o et n silalb' N ue v td it s h hfoe a Protestant, consequently he did not officiate till on the drop. As she pissed through she prayed in corn' p a ng with the priest, and kept her face toward; heaven with ten expression of intense supplication. The hue of health yet shone on her cheeks, and sbe might have been an object of strong pity, but she was a murderess. The prison bell, which had p e aled -mournfully o n the dying moments of many a wretch, pealed not on her's. The burial service lent not it', melan c h o l y i n fl uence , an d t h e sad process i on move " ill silence to the place of death. She was tied w ith great celerity, and died while the prayer of peniteo o • fell broken on the breeze. The fall was short, bo r. mot so the struggle, for it lasted several minutes be" fore she ceased to move. The crowd contained many females, whose heartless laugh and wreckless gaietY, while waiting for th e h orr id ex hibi t i on , proc l ai med, them strangers alik e to f ee li ng or propr i ety.
