FXECUTION OF I.OUVEL.
PA sts. Juaz 7.--1.0. lye! was executed this day.
The crowd was itmnense, and not less than 200,000
persons covered the Pont au Change, the Ponte
Notre Dame, the Qoais, the places adjacent, and
the Place de Greve. No disorder occurred. The
p.:blic indignation, expressed in murmurs, followed
Laurel all the way to the scaffold. This tress feel-
ing naturally excited by the grief into which all
France is plunged. Yesterday after the order for
execution had been communicated to Louvel. M. de
Monies, Ammenier of Prisons, went, to him. H!
received that respectable Ecclesiastic with polite-
ness, mid conversed with him the greater part of
the night. He was confessed. They informed him
Lie execution would take place at tight o'clock in
the morning. The criminal was also examined some
length or time by the Procureur General. A few
minutes before eight o'clork he asked for refreshment
and a glass of wine He then said he was ready,
and, expressed impatience to proceed to the scaffold.
It was soon after announced to him that the execu-
tion had been suspended till six o'clock in the even-
ing. M. de Monies left him to sake a few hours'
repose, and another clergyman cams to converse
with him. About noon an Inspector of Police came
to the prison. and did not quit the criminal up to
the moment of his execution.
Louvel, exactly at six minutes before six, left the
Concier;;erie. He looked paler than he did on the
trial. His efforts apparently were great to subdue
his feentgs, and he turned his head front right to
left, casting Tepid glances upon the surrounding
spectatom At six o'clock precisely his head was
taken off.
The following remarks are made in a Paris Paper
on the execution:—
" Ihe trial of this great culprit has terminated
with his life, but uncertainty still exists. It is clear
t'..cv have not dicovetted his accomplices; but not so
clear that he had no accomplices. Louvel persisted
in a system of defence extremely plain. Ile said to
. them, ' I alone conceived the crime; I executed it ;
sell : boast I did so.' That was not a defsmce-4t
was the confession of despair, at the last stage of
selflUVE and fanaticism. He evidently stated fale%
hood. He said he went front Mets to Calais, in'
1814 i, to assassinate the Doke of Berri; but none of
the Princes landed at Calais, The cutler whom he
named as having made the fatal poignard was exa-
mined, and deposed, that he knew nothing of the
men nor the weapuo. Many circumstances concur
to render the crime obscure."

The filowing is the communication from the
Queen to the Earl of Liverpool, alluded to on
Friday night in the Commons by Lord Castlereagh
and which was presented to the Noble Earl by Mr,
Denman, the Queen's Solicitor General, It de-,
elated that -" her Majesty, in compliance with the
advice of her Counsel and of several Members of
the House of Commons, thinks it proper to inform
Lord Liverpool, that she is ready to receive any
proposition that is consistent with her honour,
which his Lordship may be disposed to make on the
part of his Majesty's Government." This commu-
nication wa► immediately submitted to the Cabinet
Id.nisters, and after underguing much discussion,
another Council was summoned to meet at the resi
denim of the Earl of Liverpool, in Whitehall, at
half-past nine in the evening, which continued in
deliberation until half.past twelve. The result of
the discussion was the following note to the
Queen:—
