'His Majesty's 'stag-hounds were turned out, on

Yesterday morning 'John Hogben, D. FitzgerAd,
and C. nliivan, the first for an unnatural crime, and
the two last for a rape, were executed, opposite to
the debtor's door of Newgate. A more than_ usual
degree of interest was excited in .the publiC mind by
the execution of ti,ese unfortunate men, from the
uwoccessful attempt made by Sullivan, on Sunday
last, to escape from Newgate, disguised in women's
clothes ; and a vast concourse of spectators were as-
sembled in the Old Bailey at an early hour Soon
after eight o'clock Sullivan and Fitzgerald appeared
on the platforin, accompanied by a Catholic Clergy-
man •
,and a short time after Hogben came forward,
attended by the Ordinary of Newgate. Tito pri-
soners severally passed a few minutes in prayer, and
each of them appeared duly impressed with the jus-
lice of his sentence, and contrition fur the cri.„,e he
had been guilty of. About a
.quarter after eight
o'clock the awful signal was given, and these untor,
tunate nien were launched into eternity, and ap-
peared to die almost without o struggle. After being
suspended the usual time,, the bodies were CUE down,
and delivered to theit respeaive relatives• The dress
Sullivan the convict had on witork detetted, was an
old tattered gown and petticoat, a checqued apron,
a dirty shawl, and loose woman's, great coat, which,
with an old bonnet, a, pair of. Women's shoes, and a
pair of pattens, completed the disguise.
The following is the substance of private letters
from France :
" The new public works are not paid for ; the
person ivlio is repairing, the Thuilleries, &c. has
not been paid a sous since two years, and then on
Government bonds at more than 12 per cent. dis 4
count,
• ", This, unhappily, is not. the only instance of
their barbarity towards all prisoners, women as well
as men.
" Buonaparte has manifestly the intention of
re-
training for some time at Footambleau; since the
Ministers of Foreign Powers have all . received an
intimation to go thither to do business with him.—
The first circle, or what in England. we call draw-
ing room, isros held at the Palace on Sunday the
291 b at which the. Emperor received in
great state 'all the Foreign Ministers, as well as all
all the Ministers and Dignitaries of 'his own Coat.
" Marshal Ney is arrived at Fontainbleau from
Spain, and had a lung audience of the Emperor.--
He was accompanied
.by the Marquis D'Ae.ndagna,
the Chamberlain of King Joseph ; and it . appeal's
that some important change is meditated in the des-
tiny of that kingdom. - ,
" The Performers of thou. Seri'us.Opera, as well
as the Contedie Fraucoise, are ordered to repai-4,,, to
Foutainbleau to give reprcSentationS, and, of.coa.use,
that place is all the ton."

PEDESTBIANISM.—DanieI Gilbert, a farmer, at
Harlowe, in Somersetshire, is performing a task
which will, if completed, exceed any thing that has
been achieved by the crack pedestrians of the day,—
Mr. Gilbert, backed by three of his f;-iends, has
Mule a bet of loop guineas, that he will perform
tOOO miles in i. days ; which is at the rate of be-
twixt 60 and 70 miles_ a day. Mr. G. is a stout,
athletic man ; and he commenced his task on Satur-
day last, from.NeWbolt, Wilts. He had done 215
miles on Monday night,without Much fatigue. Time
is backed at great odds.
POTATOES rROPAGATP.D BY THE STALE:S..-7•The
following new method-of propagating potatoei has
been communicated to the Bath end CiVest of Eng-
, land Society, .by the Rey. G. Burton, Having, a
a piece of ground choaked up with potatoe stalks,
. from the negligence of the labourers employed in
the clearing it of a preceding crop, this Gentleman
carefully planted about too of them in drills in the
same manner as cabbage plants, first pulling off the
potatoes that adhered to the roots. The experimen t
succeeded, and each stalk produced from to to 10,
