'tumultuous, but perfectly harmless. There was a
grand illumination at the Palais Royal, on the oc
casion, the fame evening. Had the Ariftocratick
Party been fuccefsful on this important question,
the carnage and excesses of the night Would have
been dreadful; the people, whose passions were
worked up to phrenzy, had destined many celebra
ted Members of the Assembly to death, whom the
National Guards would in vain have endeavoured
to prote&. The streets would inevitably have been
deluged with blood.
Yesterday the Court of King's Bench made the
rule absolute for an information against Mr. New
ham, for refuting to take the Sacrament previous
to his eledion to the office of Bailiff of Stockbridge.
Mr. Erskine said, no possible defence could be
made against this information, as he was armed
with a positive statute, which it was impossible for
any ingenuity to surmount.

of thousands preserved from the hands of savage
cruelty. • -
There are letters in town from southward, which
mention an arrival at Georgetown, in fix weeks
from Rotterdam, where, the Captain informs, au
thentick information had been received, that the
rumpus between England and Spain, was, at last,
brought to a termination, by the latter making
concefliohs, and paying I'argoftt. This, if true,
will give the Spaniards a sweat, as nothing short
of Six Millions of dollars will fatisfy the irascible

BOSTON, AUGUST 2fr
Finding all the inhabitants under arms he re
paired to the guard-house and was appointed to
do duty at the prison where the criminals were
confined. But how great was his fur,rife at re
marking, that most of them were persons whom he
himfelf had frequently employed. One ofthem
familiarly inquired---" if he was in good health ?"
This fellow's name was Piquenot, who, at the
time df the ridt, had made every poflible search
/after Mr. de Lamprey, in order to have the plea
fare of cutting off his head.
Mr. de Lamprey, who could hardly fuppcfe the
wretch capable of such horrid ingratitude to a ge
nerous maft^r, asked him if there was any truth in
such a report ? The ruffian very coolly replied—
" Had I found you at that time, I certainly should
have been so curious to fee how you would have
looked without your head. Perhaps [ might have
been sorry next day. That is past, however, and
to-morrow lam to die. But what difference does
it make, whether I die of a fever, or am hanged ?
It's all one to me, if I muff go. But I hope Mr.
de Lamprey, you will give me something to
drink——then they may do with, me what they
please." 1 . . "
Next morning their sentence for immediate ex
ecution was read to Piquenot and one of his com
rades ; and a clergyman attended' to prepare them
for death. The hardened offender swore that he
would not confefs until he had two bottles of wine
in his belly. A compassionate heart indulged him.
-—When he drank the wfne^ he said archly to the
priest, ''l thank you for this hearty swill; but aft
jo your pious exhortations; you may save yourfelf
the time and trouble, for it is all nonsense to me,"
"My dear friend," said the clergyman, " confi.
der your situation, and where you are going Ihort
ly to appear : Eternity is just before you," "Ah,"
replied the culprit, " I know that very well ; and
you are the cause; but we shall meet again a
nother day, and 1 shall fettle the ballance with
you.".
On his refufing to confefs, the officer of the
police forced him out of the prison, and the hang
man then asked him, according to the usual form,
" If he had forgave his judges and the witnesses
" Yes, (replied Piquenot) I forgive them and you.
Mr,Breakbones, for my heart is better than yours."
—He then infilled on havin bis sentence read
Carolina, and the Hon. Mr. Gilman, of New
hampthire, Col.* Humphreys, Major Jackson and
Mr. Nelson ;—And arrived at
NEWPORT
on the Tuefday following. There he was welcom
ed by a salute of 13 cannon, on the Packet's pass
ing Fort Walhingcon, and 13 more on his landing
—and a like number from the (hipping in the
harbour. The citizens of the town received the
President, with every mark of-refped, and in pro
cession, escorted him to his residence. At 4 o'clock
a committee of the town, waited on him to the
State-House, where he partook of an elegant din
ner provided for the occasion. After dinner a fe
deral compliment of- federal toasts were drank—
The second of which Was given by the President,
viz. " The fate we are in, and prosperity to it."
On Wednesday morning he was addressed by the
Town, the Clergy, and society of Free-Masons ;
—and having visited the several parts of the town,
failed sot ~

Accompanied as before—and was received by the
assembled citizens, in prace flion, consisting of the

and various corporations—the Clergy, Bar, and

of Mechanicks. with their officers, the society of
Cincinnati, Gentlemen Grangers, and Makers of
Vessels, &c.---and escorted thereby to his lodgings.
Reiterated discharges of Artillery—the ringing
of bells—the universal attendance of the citizens

At a late riot in that town, the property of seve
ral worthy citizens fell a prey to the violence and
rapacity of a lasgefs mob. Among the fufferers,
was Mr. de Lamprey, a considerable merchant of
Cherbourgh, then in England upon business.—
The ring leaders were soon after dispatched for
M.de Lamprey ; he returned home just before the
execution of the rioters.

going to be hanged.
From the prison to the place of execution, he
behaved with the utmost indifference, carelessly
bidding adieu to his acquaintance as he passed
along; and telling them he should never fee them
again. Observing his companion very much af
feded at his approaching fate, he did what he
could to divert his attention, and desired him to
pay no regard to what the prieftfaid, adding,
" Jack, it's all nonsense : The gospel is no pre
servative against a hempen collar : You must swing
as well as me." . .

His comrade fuffered firft, while the clergyman
was endeavouring to rouze Piquenot to a sense of
his situation. But this impenitent reprobate turning
about observing the suspended criminal in the ago
nies of death, he cried out. " What grimaces
the fellow makes !—Do you think, fir, I (hall look
as ugly as he ?" A moment after, the unhappy
man happening to touch him with his foot on his
ffioulder, the wretch fell into a paflion, and called
Out to .know " if he had not almost done with that
sport ?"
He infiftedon drinking with one of his acquaint
ance before he mounted the ladder, but this was
refufed him." " Well (said he) if you are resolv
ed to hang me, you will carry me up, for I will
have another ride before I die.
As he afcend°ed the ladder, at every steep he
called aloud for liquor, and finding that he was
going ro be turned off—"lf (said he)-I can have
no liquor, Mr. Hangman, I am determined to have
a taste of you before I go." Upon which he bit
Jack, Ketch "hrough the arm, and in that impenia
tent state, was launched into eternity.
