tion which he had frequently before made, that his mind was per*
fectly calm and composed, and that he was perfectly
in
to meet his fate with resignation. After a few minutes spent prayer,
the Sacrament was administered to him ; during the whole of which
ceremony he seemed to be deeply impressed with the great truths of the
Christian Religion, and repeat2dly uttered some pious ejaculations.
After this t eligion 3 ceremony was ended, and both he and Dr. Ford had
prayed fervently, the prisoner was informed that the Sheriffs were
ready. lie answered in a firm tone—" I am perfectly ready also."
The Sheriffs and Vuder Sheriffs, and the Gentlemen who had been
admitted a' their friends into the prison, then proceeded to what is
called the Press-yard, and immediately afterwards the prisoner was
brought out. He descended into the yard with a firm and intrepid
pace, and looking up, he observed with great coolness—" Ah ! it rains
heavily !" He then, by desire of one of the Turnkeys, placed his toot
firmly upon an anvil, in order to have his irons struck off, which were
uncommonly heavy. While the man was striking the bolts out, he
repeat: dly said—" Mind, mind—take care, take cure," as if feeling
pain from the blows of the hammer. Frequently he loAted up to the sky.
In knocking off his irons. the man who perf.Jrnied that office, at one
time experienced much difficulty, in driving the rivetted bolts through
one ot the rings which encircled his feet, upon which Bellingham,
with the greatest composure, said to Hist—" strike in the centre, and
more firmly, and then you will accomplish it." While this was doing,
••ecral times eyed the Noblemen and Gentlemen who were standing
round, with great steadiness, and something like a dignified air. His
face possest:d the same character and colour us on Friday during his
trial—No emotions of fear or compunction w,re visible. His dress
:was altogether not so neat; on this awful occasion he wore a coat
which very much resembled that produced in Court as the one in
which he assassinated Mr. Perceval, and :nost likely it was the same.
After he was liberated from his fetters, he returned quickly, but not
at all hurriedly, into the room, when most of the spectators in the
press-yar. cured into anocher adjoining, at the request of the Lord
Mayor, who, wiih the Shc-r;ffs, and five or six oth: r persons, went
into the reom, when the followitej columunication the prix finer

GOT I'EN itt; I MAIL.

We„are unwilling to doubt the since: ity of the Swedish
'Court, but the unaccountable delays which are incessantly
taking place in the sailing of the expedition, are calculated
,to excite suspicions. According to the contents of the Got.
tenburgh Mai!, received on Saturdav sennight, the men,
cannon, and stores were embarked, and the expedition was
to sail the next day. Another Gottenhurgh Mail, which ar-
rived on Friday, informs us, ti at its departure was still in
perspective, and reduces its certainty to—" It was said that
the long-talked of Swedish expedition was about to sail in
five divisions, as follow :-8,000 men from Gottenburgh ;
8,000 from Carlsham ; 8,000 from Carlscrona; 8,000 from
zStOel'holtri; and 8,000 from Jevla. The troops at Stock-
holm had already embarked ; those at the other places were

" FRIENDS OF TRUTH AND OPENERS OF EYES IN
FHE NINT&TEENTii CENTURY."
If not edifying, it is at least diverting, to mark the airs
which certain wri•ers give themselves for their love of truth
and the sagacity they fancy tl,cv display in discovering it,
and highly atnu,ing to observe the complacency with which
they assume ciedit to themselves for the talent of cpening
the of the public. Those who are most eminent in this i
line, appear all rqually anxious to diAingoish themselves by
the humour r,1:(1 vivacity with which they can dilate on
events which would deprive pers;ms of common unders.and_
ing, of those much valued faruities. A cal:tulle). of uta:tni-
tude never fails to make their wit flow freely, their spirits
seem exhilarated in proportion as the public despondency
i.
great, and their readers, who have long mourned and slept
ov:!1* their dullness, are all on a sudden delighted with the
flippant ease and pointed raillery, with which they arc told
of the *people's sorrows, the general distress, and the ruin
of the country ; and, from the Manner in %%Nell they dwell
on these topics, it is impossible to dtrlbt their zeal to do their
lust towards opening the eyes of the public.
It is, however, rather rematkablethat-this zeal should be
always most conspicuous, when affliction and disaster arc the
subjects on %%Welt then liave to treat. Their anxiety to en-
lighten the public mind nieways manifests it:elf most when it
is in their power to awaken their readers to the contempla-
tion of a scene of more than common gloom, to a prospect
of more than ordinary alarm. Does a may of hope illumine
our political horizon ;—they will not roue us to btsk in its
hrightuess : but when they think they see a continT ,twan,
thet? all their energies are put forth, and 2 sereeA of ee,t-uey
calls us to revel with them in all the luxury of predicted inin

and anticipated horror.
Foremost among those who arc thus eager to inform the
nation, stands thq conductor of a morning paper, in some
respects a valunbre journal, but for professions of this nature
ridiculous, and fur its conduct subsequent upon them little
Less than infamous. For some yews, while opening the
public eyes, the general gaze of admiration was by him di-
rected to the " virtues of the PRI NCof V‘ ALES, the splen-
dour of which could not fail to shed new lustre on the throne,"
which, in the course of nature, he appeared destined to fill.
Then all that was elegant, ail that was accomplishes:, all that
vests noble and munificent, be was described as formed to he
admired, and to exact obedience not by his authority, but
by his suavity of tnanners and goodness of heart.
Within the last year, however, something very like the
reverse of this picttire has been 'presented to his readers by
this friend to. trieh. When the PRINCE REGENT thought

FRENCH PAPERS.

CAEN., MAR cu 19.'0r some days past there has been a tumultuous
assembly of persons, or which the dearness of provisions was the pru-
text, but whose true object was plunder. Some bad subjects having
collected some women, violently proceeded to the houses of proprietors
of grain, but contented themselves with stealing some linen and goc,ll.
The Authorities gave proofs of prudence and firmness; the principal
ringleaders were remarked, and no:ice taken of their places of :;both.
During this time the troops who had been called in united, the chiefs
were arrested, and tranquillity restored.
Oa the 14th March a Military Commission was assembled in the
Castle of Caen, and the accused, in nuMber sixty-one, denoticcd-Ilc-
fore it, when nine persons (four men and live women) haying been
convicted of being the autars of the audacious meeting, from wholn
proceeded shouts of menace against the Magistrates, and whose intLii-
tion was to carry devastation through the town of Caen, were com-
mantled to suffer death, eight to eight years hard labour, and ten to
five years solitary confinement.
On the 15th, at ten in the morning, judgment was carried into exe-
cution.—This act of severity should teach the ill-disposed, that all :hely
attempts against the Magistrates charged with the maintenance of ortier
and protection of property will prove abortive.

Two French vrisoners, in Dartmore prison, stahhod each other. rc-
cently so dreadtully, in a violent passion, that they died instantly. i
Jury returned a verdict of—Howicidoby accident.

ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.

An unfortunate accident took place at Sheerness on the afternoon of
Wednesday last.—As the launch belonging to his Majesty's ship Ralson-
able, was proceeiing from that vessel, with a draft of men, to the
• Namur (flag ship) at the Great Nore, she ran fwd. of the Martial gun-
brig, and almost immediately stink. It is supposed there were near 80
persons in the launch, of whom it is reported only 35 were saved.—The
confusion that ensued on the vessels coming in contact, is represented
as having been principally the cause of so many lives being lost.
Eiam Jemmott, for piracy, is further respited for one week, from
the expiration of his former respite.
On Tuesday, as four soldiers were escorting two deserters up Lud-
hate-hill, one of them, a remarkably stout fellow, contrived to slip his
andcuff, and ran with great precipitation up the Old on which
one of the escort fired his piece at him, the ball of which went through
the window of a respectable inhabitant. The report of the musket
brought several of the turnkeys from Newgate, who, aliled by the guard
of a mail coach, succeeded in stopping him, after much re.istance, dur-
ing which he threw several of them down in the mud ; nor did he
submit tEI one of the escort came up and presented his piece, threaten-
ing to blow him to atoms. fie was then taken into tht, prison, aid,
being properly secured, was safely conducted to the Savoy.
The four Nottingham rioters, sentenced to fourteen years transporta-
tion at the late assizes, and three for seven years, were removed with
great care and caution from Nottingham, under the escort of a military
guard, on Monday morning, soon after five o'clock. They arrived at
Newgate on Tuesday, and on Wedmsday were delivered at the hulks, at
Woolwich.

NORTHERN POWERS.

Whilst the prominent share which our army now takes
in the Spanish campaign, attracts every eye towards the
banks Of the Guadiana, the storm of war thickens in the
North. There, according to the letters received yester-
day from Anholt, the roar of battle will soon be heard,
and the armies of coalesced Powers engaged. Prussia,
whose warlike preparations had so often elicited applause
from some of our short-sighted-politicians, who fancied
she was arming against the tyrant of Europe, has openly
declared herself in favour of France, and has ordered
hertroops to join those of the latter. It is true that the
reduced monatchcould neither hope to resist Buos A P trra,
nor to maintain a respected neutrality. But he seems to
have been particularly -anxious to please his late conqueror,
and to have displayed so much unexpected readiness to
assist him in the execution of his ambitious plans, as to
have induced NAPOLEON to order his Generals to declare
to his Prussian Majesty, that in consequence of the line of
conduct he had adopted, Prussia should never be called
upon. for the contributions due from her to France at the
conclusion of the last war.
Not only has Prussia combined with France against the
Russian Autocrat; but we are told in most of these Let-
ters, that Anstria has espoused the same cause, and that
from 100,000 to 150,000 Austrians have been placed at

FRENuH PAPERS,

French Papers have been received. 'They contain some
interesting information, but do not confirm the reports
of the formation of a Regeney, the departure of the Em-
PRESS and her Son for Vienna, and that of NApoLEog
himself for his Northern army. They are chiefly filled
with the correspondence of General BLAKE, which, it ap.
pears, he has readily communicated to the French Go-
vernment, to answer some purposes of their own. This
Officer, who lately commanded the' finest and most nu-
merous army of patriotic Spain, and who, as President
of the Regency at Cadiz, stood, in fact, at the head of
the nati,n, now fawns, at Paris, at the feet of the law-
less invader of his country, and supplies him with mate-
rials to show, 44 that the Chiefs of the insurrection are
convinced of the inutility of their struggle—how much
they dread the French infantry and cavalry-4nd to what
a pitch their dissatisfaction and hatred of the English
army are carried."
Is it astonishing that the French people, and", indeed,
the Continent, should credit the tale of Spanish subjuga-
tion, when they hear' it repeated in the capital of the
Usurper by . the late head of the Spanish Government,
and Commander in Chief of the Spanish armies !_There
is no doubt but NAPOLEON would use every art of seduc-
tion to draw such a man over to his side, since he has
had him within his power ; but we think it dotibtfLl whe-
ther his offers had not been listened to with complacency
by the PRESIDENT of the Regency, even in the fulness of
his authority, and- whether the surrender of Valencia,
with the whole army, may not be attributed to, at least,
an incipient spirit of treachery. We should not be sur-
prized in a short time to see this Commander, invested
with fresh authority, return to the Peninsula as one of
the Generals of King JOSEPH, and Grandees of his Court.
The attention which BUONAPARTE pays to his navy is
not confined to the building of ships. Finding, probably,
that emulation is Rot a stimulus powarful enough to in-

ILL-TREATMENT OF DOGS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

Sia—The faithful guardian of our houses, of our property, of our per-
.oris, the Dog, is one of the tri.ist precious among those e,ifts which the
hat.4l of Providence has lavished upon man. The Horse con-
q ered fro:ia a savage life, the Cat, originally littered, perhaps, among
the whelps of the Leopard, the steady Bull that helps us in cultivat-
ing the fields, the Cow and the Sheep which feed us with their milk,
c.)ver us with their skins, and at last fail victims to the cravings of our
stomachs, ?II of these have their qtralities, and are truly dear to as,
but dearer than any ef them ought to be the Dog—and yet how utt-
q,ratefully the pow. animal is too often treated! I omit to speak of the
bad fare which k often his lot; of his tiresome watchings; of the un-
merited kicks he patiently receives, and of other indignities-1 come to
ti!e point. Your Paper has often given us humane animadversions

POLITICAL DIS2UISITION.

FRENCH PAPERS.

Liberality and Sagacity are things very desirable in a
public wi iter. At present, there are in this metropolis, a
coleiderable number of Journalists who have some preten-
sions to a large share of each of these estimable qualities.
Th;s admission, our contemporaries ought to receive as a
very handsome compliment, but we hope they will give us
credit for a disposition to spare their blushes, as we can
aiore them, that nothing is further from our wishes, than
adcsite to put them out of countenance, by any thing like
flattery.
We repeat it, there arc many public writers of the present
die, who merit some consideration for their liberality and
utacity. These excellent qualities, however, like most
otter good things, are liable under certain circumstances,
to lase much of their value. Liberality. when it only exerts
kelt' in favour of one of two parties, may be said to change
i:s nature; and sagacity, when it only displays its acuteness
in discovering that the boastful statements of an enemy
are entitled to more credit than the dispatches published by
crown Government, is entitled to the same praise as that
eloquence which is exerted to mislead, or that courage which
makes itself formidable to the peace of society.
The liberality which we have seen its the conduct of the
writers to whom we allude, uniformly manifests itself in the
candid indulgence with which every document is regal ded,
provided it be French : the Sagacity; in the facility with
which every speck that may enable them to throw a cloud of
doubt on our prospects is discovered, and pointed out in a
document known to be British. The feelings which prompt
this exercise of the two qualities we have named, have very
uccessfully exerted themselves for some time past, to pro-
cure credit for the accounts received from the seat of war
10 the North via France. We wish to chew our readers what
degree of credit they really deseeve. It is our object to
prove them infamously false. That they are so, we think
al! who read this article will be satisfied. We do not ask the
public to rely on our ipsedirit. Assertion is useless, where proof
Is at hand, It shall be our business, (an humble but not an
usOcss task) to compare the statements lately made in the
French papers with each other, and leave the readers of THE
NATIONAL REGISTER to judge for themselves.
The Paris journal of October the 18th, exulting over the
conquest of Moscow, states that city to have been saved
from destruction, and proceeds to lay open to the view of
em.,lous rivals, the immense resources presented by the cons-
quered country, and the following description and comment
ou the importance of Moscow, are given :

generates into into a drawl. In the scene with the Players, Mr.
RA E was eminently happy. We never saw any actor give
it heater effect, and never heardinuder plaudits ring through
a tbcane, than those wt.ich butmt from the audience at its
close. In the closet scene he was but partially successful,
2,xi in that whet e he was interrogated respecting the death
of pol.ni?is, he wa!, very inipei feet. Instead of replying to
the gnestifin—" Where's Poloniui ?" when put by the King,
as he ougle to have done, his response was, " In Heaven:"
we know not whether it was by accident or design that he
did not give the preceding speeches—" At supper"—" Not
wit -re he eats, but where he's eaten, Ike " If the omission
were intentional it calls for severe censure, if accidental, it
has already peen corrected.. In the early part of the fifth
act, Mr RAJ:: was not very effective, but in the last scene
bis performance called forth universal approbation. Ills
Rainiet is excellent to those who have not seen the K Ent at, ES
and VOUS G. After them it requires no common merit to
be tolerable. Mr RAE is more—he is good. At the other
theatre he would be found an acquisition of importancr,
here he has no rival.

DRURY T-INE.

Mr. RAE has repeated the part of Hamlet in the course of
the week, but has not yet appeared in any other character.
We did not sec him on the second night of his performance,
and this we rather regret, as it is highly probable he corrected
some of the defects we observed on the first. On Saturday
we could not but complain of the great distance at which
he stood from the Ghoa. It bad a bad effect, as the eye
could hardly contemplate the two figures in one view, and
this error was aggravated by Mr. RA ifs leaning (or appear-
ing to do so, to thoe seated on the opposite side of the
house), against one of the side pillars. This was reprehen-
sible, as it caused an object to be included in the scene
which ought not to be there. The deep interest Ilnakt
takes in what is communicated by the Ghost, he very skil-
fully marked, and his starts were always admirably timed,
without any apparent preparation, indicative of anticipated
emotion, which we have frequently seen spoil good acting.
We very much disapproved of the manner in which he gave
the line in the preceding scene—
' Oh, that this too, too s•lid flesh would melt !"
in which be spoke the word too but once, and by way of
atoning for the absence of the word he left out, length-
ened the line by suffering his voice to dwell unnecessarily
on the too which he did utter. Doing this, he added a
fault of commission to one of omission, for though nothing
would be more improper than to speak it hastily, the pro-
. Ouncintion of that word.should not be Icrithenedytill it de-

of a batdß had been received at St. Pctcrsburgh, yet the
Gottenhurgh Mail brings reports of such an event, which
had reached Swi-den by the way of Itiga, thotylt without
(toe. :is to time ; and with no other specification of olacc,
than that it was fou,ht between Moscow and Smolensk°. It
is iidded, that 15,000 prisoners were taken, and that the
enemy's military chest fell into the bands of the Rmsians.—
With ali oua villingness to credit intelligence of so pleasing
convleNion, we must pause before we can yield full belief
to statement, in its present twat' thenticated form. 'the
letters k the last Mail estimated the number of the French
tick and wounded who were left at Moscow, and of course
became prisoners there, at 15,000 ; and they also noticed
the fact of a military chest having fallen into the hands of
the Russians. These reports, therefore, are probably built
on the same foundation.
