_,„<• .:RRIPATE CORRES P O NDE NCE, EXECUTION oy kOBERT EMMET, rm. TUE.,DAT, SEPT. 20. AT ten o'clock this morning a confidential friend 'of this unfortunate Gentleman was permitted to visit him at Kilmainham iaol. The visitor, a Proles. tional Gentleman r f considerable eminence, on his nuance into the Culftrit's'cliamber, found him real. ing the Litany in the Service of the Church of Eng. land in the presence of the Rev. DotiOr GAttiaca, , :lifeADVainary of Newgate . ;' after which he made a 'hearty breakfast. Retiring afterwards to a room with his frie n d, after-certain familicommunications, he adverted to the'circumstance of having his pockets 'examined in 'the dock On the preceding evening, for' ome instrument. with which it was apprehended be might destroy himself . . He disclaimed such notion with veheineot indignation, alledging it was incom. patible with the Religion he professed, anti in which he would 'die; meaning the Christian system of be: lief,. as taught by, the Established Church. Fit solemnly professed his hopes of eternal salvation, not lon any merits of his own, but through the mediation bf the God whis bled on an ignominious Cross for him. With these sentiments, he repeated; it would be absurd to suppose him capable of Suicide.— What had he to apprehend mere than death ? And 43 to the shame attached to the mode prepared for : . him, it could but little affect him, when he con. bitilred tliat SYDNEY and RUSSELL bled on the scaf. fold in a similar cause.' With respett to' his politi. tCal sentiments, he could only re.assert what he had urged in Court—That a separation of this King- Om from Great Britain was his supreme wish—an bbjed which he win conscious could be effected tvithout the aid of France. The measure of con. nexinn with . France, though urged and adopted by others of the Provisional Government, he was never a friend tot nor did the plan now accomplished, of having sent an ' Ambassador to Paris to negotiate for that species of tempo. tary alliance. which Dr. PRANICLIN• had obtained for America, ever. meet his approbation. He ob served, that had' he not been interrnpted by the Court, in the Address be thought it necessary to make to them, he %yould have. spoken as warm an eulogium on the candour and moderation of the pre. tent Government irkthis Kingdom, as his conception ' or language. were adequate to. When he left this . - - Country, it was at a period when a great portion of the public mind, particularly that of the'party to Whom he attached himself, had been violently exas. Aerated at certain harsh proceedings attribtued'to the Administration.which presided here for some tithe previous to the last Rebellion. On his recent 'arrival in the kingdom, he conceived that the mea. tures of the present Government must have been nearly similar, until experience convinced him of his tn:stake. For the polite concession afforded WI in the indulgence of a private communication. with his Friend he expressed many thanks, and•said such conduEl would leave a grateful impression on his mind during the few hoop destined .for him to live. He exulted at the idea of hearing that his mother, an aged lady, had died since lie was appre. lienihtil, without hearing of that event ; and ex. pressed a firm confidence of meeting with her in a state of eternal bliss, where no separation could take place, The Culprit was led from Kilmainham gaol under ' strong military guard, composed of detachnients both of Cavalry and Infantry of the Regular Troops quartered at the Barracks. He arrived about three o'clock at the temporary gallows, in Thomas.street, in a carriage with, two Clergymen. In his progress thither his'demeanour, however, did not appear of that, setious cast befitting the awfulness:of his situ. mien, or the Religious sentiments he had uttered in the morning. He gazed about, particularly in the Scene of his exploits, with a species bi,iiaht inattentive Emile, approaching a laugh) unlit he was carried to the place of execution. After mount. ing the platform or scaffold attach,td to the gallows, Ise addressed the surrounding crowd in a few words, saying he died in F.:ace and universal love and 'kindness with all mankind. While the executioner Was adjusting the rope round his neck, with a death. like paleness of face he seemed earnestly to talk ' end expostulate with him, moat probably about *nine aukwardness in his manner, from' which he fe lt an inconvenience. After the hangman had Pulled a cap over his eyes, the culprit puts up his ,pinioned as they were; and partly removed il• The Platform was-dextrously removed. , After which he hung for near a minute, quite motionless, hut violent convulsions then seized NM, which lasted for several Minutes. The proem of beheading, &c. was afterwards toile through, and 1681)0(1y removed to Newgate. COMMISSION INTIALICENCE. TUESVIA StFT I zo. dly . thr S nm 4. 1 ission Int pursuant t 6 Ori'.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CANDY, THE CAP!. TAL OF CEYLON, DATED 23D OF ERR ! 1803. gg Since I wrote you lasr, we have IfaJ. many difficulties to surmount, our ib.ids, have bcen troublesome, nothing less in faa ,than constantly ascending anti descending immense mountains, with some bush fighting, but of no great con. sequence. The country in which we now are, has however, amply repaid us for all our troubles—it is most undoubtedly one of the finest countries in the world, 'and well deserves the name of Paradise. • " Mountains cultivated to their summits and in terspersed with 'rivulets, villages, and cattle—with well trodden fOot-paths crossing them in all diree. tions—fruitful Vilifies, with groves of areca, jacks cocoa -nuts, limes, orange, plabtains, and pumple_ nose trees, with fine villages, and fields of Paddy Raggee, Natchenee, and other grains—the Paddy fields well .watered by the streams rushin. down froth the mountains, altOgether forming such sttik• ing _scenery us is but'seldom seen. - 4! We marched into Cantlia ore the evening of the loth, and found it wholly deserte3, the King hay. ing removed all, the treasure from the palace, and. the inhabitants from their houses. The palace, when vve.entered it, was partially -on. fire : it is an mense pile of building, and perhapi only inlerior to that of Seringapatam. The town is about two miles long, aesd consists of one principal street, terminated by the palace at the•upper end, ,there are also many lesser streets branching 5.6 on both sides, but of no great length. The houses are chiefly of mud,. and raised above the level of t h e street abour fi ve feet, you ascend_ to theartherefore by steps. dg . A•few of the houses at the upper end of the street, belonging to. the principal inhabitant's ) are tiled and white.waslie& The palace inbuilt of a kind of chunam, or cement, perfelly white, with store gaieways. it is a square of immense extent, one face of which is new, and not yet finished. in the center is a small square inclosure, which is a cemetery, anti contains the tombsi'bf the Kings of. Candia. The palace contains a g't6at iltinilfet, of rooms, the Walls of which are painted in the most grotesque , manner you can imagine, and covered with a multiplicity of inscriptions. Many of the walls' are covered with immense pier glasses of about seven feet by four. In one room. is a gigantic brass image of Budha, in a. sitting posture, with two smaller ones at his feet. 46 The river of Candia is a very noble one, anti swarming with fish, as the King would never allow them to be. molested. We saw five beautiful milk white deer - in the Palace, which was noticed as a very extraordinary thing. 66 We are now 'encamped about two miles from the Capital, on this side of the river, and Col. BAR. nor has been detached with the Malay Regiment, for the purpose of escorting, it p is said, a , Successor t 9 the Throne. As the.

A litut^ curious .and , interesting circumstance occurred some time ago here, which has made . a .great poise all, over India. On the trial of:Colii i . nel MANDEVILLE, a Native it was discovered had grossly perjured himself, and afierwards absconded. 'this was stated by . the Colonel: to die SOpreme Couit, and in consequence a Warrant was issued to, apprehend the Native, and the Colonel take.n under the protection of the Court, to prevent his It6i) t g sent to England till the - 11114 had undergone titer investigation. In the' Month of October f:Cst an Incliaman Was ready to sail fr England. In the evening.before she was to sail a guard. of Soldiers went to the house. of Colonel M i ttqae v in the Black Town, seized and forcibly . contludted him to the'beaCh, put him on board a Masulaf3'oat i and carried him on board the' Ship, withOtit allowing him to carry with him necessaries of any kind. Ari account of this transadion reached Sir. lirtiuts- GwiLittst, acting ,as Chief Judge in the absence of Sir THOMAS STRANGE, who was then at Colour. bo, who instantly with a generous intrepidity ap. plied for the Colonel's release and restoration to the protection of the Court'. Fle sent a Wtitolliaheas Corpus on,board the Ship, to which prciper atted,, lion . was paid, and the. Colonel was perMitted to re-land, although several shot Were fired' at the Ship from the Fort to *make her sail, and at the flat carrying off . the Writ, 'Guards of Soldiers were placed upon the Beach to intercept, the Colonel,' hot he landing to the Southward of . the Fort escaped their vigilance, and was condutted ;o the house of 'Sir HENRY GW IM, soon after which a parry of Military appeared .before the.lionse, rcibly emceed Sir ilaNitY's garden, and peremptorily demanded the body of the Colonel. Sir HENRY, Who posseAel all the virtuous intrepidity which a British Judge ought to have, dared the Officer to touch Colonel MAtiouviLi:e—thteatened to commit bim and guard, and at length dismissed them without their ,objeCt being attained.

The following Extra& af,a Letter• from himself will best explain the b - usiness : " They . have , rgot a strange nption in Wales, that SoNarAtti'll has escaped from France, and is lurk, ing among the Mountains, .so that they, eye every stranger particularly ; and (would you believe it ?} absolutely took me for the FIRST CONiUL, and challenged my guide., I observed a great buzz a mo n g the. women, and being informed of the cause went up to them, and 'assured them I was old' enough to be BONAPARTE'S fattier.
