bis own credulity —for he was informed that,
at the very time of the interview a letter of dif
' missal was ready for him in the office of State,
together with a commission for mr. Claiborne.
Did he not immediately question mr. Jefferfon
relative to his continuance in office ; and was
he not told, that no change was expected or
contemplated in the office he held ? Yet, after
all this, that Gov. on his arrival in Boston,
found in the Poft-Office his letter of dismissal!
What duplicity. What a strange excentricity
of character. But has the interest of the Miffi
'PP' Territory been promoted by theappoint
ment of Mr. Claiborne ? He is known to be ex
tremely deflitute of knowledge—uncouth in his
manners—infinitely 'the weakest man in Con
gress—and utterly unqualified to be the chief
magistrate of such an extensive portion of the
Union," Paladium,
The cencourfe of people of all ages and sexes,
who attended this solemn, important, and mel
lancholly feene, was immense. Perhaps an idea
may be formed of the multitude when they are
informed that /even hundred and eleven Car riages,
(many of which were four wheel carriages) rai
led through Spring-Street, in Roxbury to Ded
ham. They were accurately enumerated by a
lady of that place.

It appears from a certificate published by the
collector at the port of Louisville, that 53,200
barrels of Flour had been entered in his office for
exportation from the firft of January last, up to

barrels more had passed the falls within the fame

It is thought, if the French have landed any
troops for the relief of their army in Egypt,
that it has been effcaed at Duraffo, which is
about 20 leagues to the weft of Alexandria ;
but doubts Rill exist of the landing of the troops.
The French official paper mentions the capture
of the British ffiip Swiftfure; but it is silent as
to the debarkation of the troops. If the fa&
was afeertained, what motive could there be for
its suppression.

Appeared as unmoved by his fate, when ap
proaching the gallows, as when Handing on his
trial ; and manifcfled, throughout the whole of
his condua, to the very lafl moment of his
exigence, a dark and m, Serious inflexibility of
temper. Neither the solicitations of his friends,
nor the pious exhortations of the Clergymen
who attendeftim, were able to change his un
alterable difyofitinn, or draw from him any con
feffion of his guilt, or the least fatisfa&ory a
vowal of his innocence. Thus lived and died
this rare phenomenon of human nature, equally
the fubj^a of curiosity, pity, wonder, and hor

In the revolutions of power during
the last three hundred years, few States

In the account of the execution of Fair
