A particular incident delayed the execution of
two of the condemned persons for about a (leaner
den hour. Ducorps and I.emercier required to he ta-
ken to the Hotel de Ville to make some declarations.
Their request was granted, and they were at terwards
brought back to the scaffold. Several of the suffer-
ers embraced th.rir confessors immediately before
they received the fatal stroke. None of them were
dressed in the red cloak. (Jeered de roadie,. v.)
The persons condemned, who h we obtained par-
tial ate, Athanase-Hyacinth Bouvet de Lozier,
Francois•Louisßussillion, Etienne Francois Rochelle,
Armand-Francois-Heraclius Polisnac, Abraham
Augustin-Charles d'Hozier, Charles de Riviere,
Frederic Lajolais, and Armand Gaillard.
Letters of pardon have is consequence been issued,
conceived in the following terms :
" Napoleon, by the grace of God, and the con-
stitutions of the Empire, Emperor of the French.
" To the President and Members composing the
Criminal Court of Justice of the Department of the
Seine, sitting at Paris :
Our heart has been the more affeded by the
new plots that have been formed against the state
by the enemies of France, since two men, who have
rendered great services to the country, have taken
part in them.
" By your sentence of the 10th of June last, you
have condemned to death Athanase Hyacinth
Bouvet de Loaier. His crime is great ; but we have
wished to make him feel in these circumstances the
effects of that clemency which we have always held
in singular prediledion.
" In consequence, and after having assembled
in Privy Council in our palace of St. Cloud, on the
2d of the present month, the Arch Chancellor of
the Empire. the Arch-Treasurer, the Constable,
the Grand Judge and Minister of Justice, the Minis-
ter for Foreign Affairs, and for as the Senators
Francois de ear chateau, La Place, and Fouche,
the Counsellors of State, Regnaud (De St. Jean
D'Angeley), mid Lacuce, and the Members of the
Court of Cessation, hfuraire Ander?. we have de-
clared, and do declare, that we grart pardon with
?ma to capital punishment to and
commute the said punishment into deportation,
which shall take place after the term of four years,
during which, the said shall be impri-
soned in the place which shall be assigned.
" We dire& and command that the present let-
ters, sealed with the seal of the empire, shall be
presented to you within three days from tireir being
received by our attorney general, in the said court,
in a public audience, to which the person who has
obtained th.rer shall be consiudesl to hear them
read, standing, and with his head uncovc.ed ; and
that the said letters shall be afterwards transcribed
into your registers, and a note wade of them in the
margin of the minute of the sentence of condemna-
sine.

We had expelled the Emperor here for several
days. He arrived yesterday at eleven at night.
The town was illuminated. The great avenue of
Paris presented a most beautiful coup d'old. All
the inhabitants had Leen waiting from 9 o'clock.
To-dtiy, at five in tae morning, he visited the
Military School, &c.

He set out at three, to hunt in the forest.—(Moni•
teur, June 30.

A division of the Batavian flotilla, on its way from
Flushing, has been attacked by a ttrong English
division, consisting of eleven ships, among which
were several two deckers. The BataVian Division,
however, arrived off Ostend, in good condi-
tion. A very brisk fire was kept up on both sides.
Our moveable artillery r.:nderechis very great ser-
vice. We had ten or twelve men killed or wound-
ed : the loss of the enemy was very considerable.—

We are assured that the British Cabinet has of-
fcr,:d our Court stibii dies for :itY.),UOO men ; but that
this offer was immediately and formally rejeCted.
His Impel-id' Majesty has again declared to the
Court of London, rh.tt he will invariably persevere
in his system of absolute neutrality.

BANKS OF THE MAINE, JUNE 24.

According to letters from Hamburgh, Denmark
is making military preparations. For some time the
Court or Copenhagen has been far from maintain-
ing a good understanding with that of Stockholm,
atsd there is reason to fear a war between those two
kingdoms.

COLCHESTER, JuLv.9.

This day the evidence on the part of the prose-
cution of Lieutenant-Colonel Gillespie, was finished
by Major Cuneron, and the Court adjourned until
Wednesday next at twelve o'clock, to give him time
to prepare his defence.
There was a grand review on Broxtead-heath,
about three miles from hence, by Lieutenant Gen.
Sir James Craig, Knight of the Bath, and the two
Brigades of Infantry, with the Rifle Corps and Ar-
tillery attached to them, viz.

Ist West York, Colonel Earl F4zwilliam.
Fast york,Slr Charles Halts's.
9d Wait York, Colonel Cook., under the command of Lord
Southampton..

The West Norfolk, Colonel Walpole.
Royal Burke, Lcrd Tenb,d,
Fast Normlk, Colonel Wodehouse, under the command of
Genera Ludlow.

Their appearance was answerable to the high
character they maintaia, and their minceuvres and
steadiness univr arms tully answered the expedation,
and mct the approbation of the Veteran Comman•
der ; indced s.. much on the alert are all the officers
in this distrid, that Major General Lord Paget,
who commands a brigade of Cavalry at Ipswich,
18 miles from hence, had them out at half past three
o'clock in the morning beyond that town, and yet
he and several other members of the Court Martial
were here by eleven o'clock to do their duty as mem-
bers thereof.

General Hope, the Presiient. who commands at
Wiley barracks, a:iout ten miles from hence, takes
advantage of the adjournment of to-morrow, and
r v;ews the brigade under his comma d ; it is but
jiist•ce to the Coen t say, they ply the most patient
a tension to the hwsiness b••fore them. which, it is
hoped, will conclud • either the latter end of this, or
hegianing of the ensuing week.
