Early on Sunday se'nnight two of the French

to pass through that town : only a few hours had
elapsed before two persons answering The descrip- -
tion of the fugitives came on foot to the Bull's Head
Inn there, and ordered dinner and a chaise for Lei-
cester ; the landlady, Mrs.- Hopkins, immediately
apprised the constable of the circumstance, who
took them both into Custody, and conveyed them
before the Rev. Dr. HARDY,
.when it was discover-
ed, that instead of their being the persons supposed,
they were both from AshbOurne,• in Derbyshiru----
one of them, Lieutenant Joseph Peter Pieri, a
French Officer, who had broken his parole from
that town, and the other a young woman, dressed
in man's apparel, whom he had enticed away from
her friends- at that place.- They were both com-
mitted to Leicester gaol ; the former to remain there
till the Transpert Board shall order his removal, and
the loiter, we understand, will be tried on the charge

DUBLIN, MARCH 3.—We are sorry to have to
mention a murder of a very aggravated nature,
which was committed in this city on Sunday night.
Thomas Fowler, a blacksmith, had been very an-
no-donate to get into the house of another person
of the same trade, of the name of Fagan,. in Swan
Alley, wi); for some reason that he had not learn-
ed,. did not wish to admit him, and had the door
'shut when he saw him coming to apply for en-
trance. Fowler went away, and the door wits im-
mediately opened, the people within resolving to.
send him off, by violence, if he troubled them more
with his importunities.. He. was not long in
ing; [it instead of
.going up stairs he went into
Fagan's workshop, and taking a small-iron poker,
he very deliberately made it red hot in the furnace,
and• reshiog --up stairs to Fagan, thrust it burning
into his mouth and throat, and then struck him
with it across' the face. The whole was done be-
fore the astonishment •of the persons in the rooa:
could allow them to make the smalleSt resistance.
Fagan, in- the utmost agony, rushed down stairs to
the street,. where, unabl4' to move further, he felt
upon his knees, and exclaimed ‘f Murder !" He
was taken to Meath-street Hospital, but bad ex-
pired before he could be brought withira- the
building. •
