EXECUTIONS.

NewGATE.—This morning Joseph Drewe May,
John Kean, Thomas Rickets Lyons, William Atkin-
son, atid Thomas Smith, for forgeries, William
Goulding, for burglary, and William Sturman, for
setting fire to his own house in Half-Moon-street,
.Piccadilly, were, pursuant to their sentences, •
executed before the Debtors' door, Newgate. The
spectators who had 'collected together on this rne-
lancholS> occasion, Were more numerous than has
been remembered for several years past, and com-
pletely filled, at an early hour, every street, ave-
nue, &c. within sight of the awful scene. The
execution took place a few minutes before eight
o'clock, when. the executioner and his assistant
appeared ascending the scaffold, leading one of
the unfortunate men, who in a slow and firm step
mounted the platform, and thus proceeded to the
spot allotted him : soon after his fellow-suf-
ferers were brought forward, and conducted in
the like manner to their various stations.. r This
scene of arrangement was truly distressing, and
such as drew tears from numbers of the beholders.
They all exhibited perfect symptoms of resigna-
tion to meet that fate which the laws of their
country had decreed them to undergo, which With
becoming fortitude they did, on the signal being
given for their •departure out of this world, and
all appeared to die without the least. emotion---.
Their bodies, after having been suspended the
usual time, were cut down, and carried into the
Inner-yard, in order to be given to their respec.-
tire friends for interment.
fIORSEAONGER-LANE.—This morning, at ten
o'clock, Charles :Callaghan, for the mnrder of
Moses Merry, was executed upon a temporary
platform, erected no the top of the New Prison,
HOrsemOnger-lane. He was taken from his cell
at half-past nine ,o'clock into the chapel, from
whenct, after remaining a short time, he was
brought out- to have his irons knocked off, pre-
vious to his having the sacrament administered to
him; in 'the course 64* which he was frequently
exhorted to confess his guilt of the crime, for
which he was about. to suffer ; but all tXhortations
proved vain, and in that state of hardihood,
which he had from the first of his commitment
exhibited, was be launched into eternity, anti his
body afterwards-given over for dissection.

From Dordrecht, under date of the 22d ult. we
►ear that for the last few days much artillery had
been distinctly heard in the vicinity of Lillo, and
it was presumed therefore that an attack had been
made upon the place. It is said that the garri-
.Mm is very weak, and it is supposed to be of great
importance to get possession of the fort, in order
to enable the British shipping to pass up the
Scheldt, which it commands.

We have, since writing the foregoing Arti'elit

eulars, Which (as every fad is nOW jai/lig:tint)
We hasten to lay before the Public:
There has been a series of Actions, besides
at Arcis. The Grand Ailed Army, tinder Prince
SCHWAATZENSERG, first Came into contact'
tli-Erietny at Pluncy; oii the 20th. fierefanstf.tif
took place, but the Airnies .sv'ere not engaged
to any extent.' On the 21st, .the fighting -tva's-
ccintinued at Arcis, and the Contest very warmly
and generally maintained, on both sides. Butiff
P.tn-riz.himself -was,seettin person animating hi,l
troops. All was, however, in vain, And the Al=.

lies had decidedly the best of the
ihioNApAtttE retreated on Vitry; end thebe,;
sent a strong corps to make a dash at St. Diziers,
where the Allies have a great depot and rnlgo-
zines of stores, as well commissariat as. mili-
tary.

The Tyrant._ birnself retired with Lk

main force on the Aunt., 114 Head-cpiattoi

Bar-sur-Aube; and his intenticm Was understooki
to be, to form a innction if possible with Au'
GEREAU. He communicated With Chaumont.
He had already concentrated his fnrees•to the ut-
most in his pO7er, and even, if, prevented from
joining;_ AUGEREAU would be obliged to fight Et
general battle:

We understand tnat bis strength, thus got to.:
gether, is very considerable. 'AtmeitEAti, we
imagine, to have between 20 and 30,000 men.

The Austrians were following the retreating

enemy.
We have no time for comment—ba surely it
affords good ground for hope, when we fiA
that the adversary could not prevail even against
One of the Ariiiies opposed to him, BLUCHEICP
Army, added to SCH*ARTZtiNBE,RG'S; will far nor c
than c,ounterbalance, any addition on the opposite
side.

These are most extraordinary movements.
Considerable credit is attached in the best in—
