The last accounts of Mr. Park; from hims&f,

They said tothe King,. we are sent by the Chief of
Yaour, to let y(lii know that the white' men went
awav, without e:iving you or' him (the Chief) any

King immediately ordered me to, be put in irons,
•whia was accordingly done, and every thing I had.
taken from me—some were for killing me, and
some for preserving my life. The next morning
early, the King sent-an- army to a village called
Boussa, near the river's •sidc—there is before this
village a rock, aeross.the whole breadth' of the ri-
ver—One part of the rock is very high : there
is there a large opening in that rock, in the form
of a door, which is the only passage for the water
to pass through ; the tide current is here very,
strong—the army went and took possession of
the top of this, opening.. Mr. Park 'came there
'after the army !tad:posted itself : h enevertheless at-
.tempted to pass. The people began to attack him,
thro%',fing lanceF.,,pikes ,arrows„and stones. I`,lr.rark
defended, himself for a long time : two of his slaves-.
at the stera of the canoes, were killed--7e-tey
threw every thing they had 'in the canoeinto the
river, and kept firing; but beine-. ovtrpowered ifs
numbers and fatigue; and unable to keep up the
canoe against the current, -and noprobahility of
escaping, Mr.-Park took hold of one.of the white
nien, and jumped into the :water—Martin did he
sawn,- and they were drowned in the stream in
atte4ting to:escape.' The only :slave remaining.
in iholinat, Seeing the natives persist in throwing
weapons at the canoe, stood up and said to them—
' stop throwing now ; von see nothing in the ca-
noe, and nobody but myself—therei,ore cease.
Take rue and the canoe, but don't kill me." They
tools possession of the canoe and the Man, and
carried them to the King.

I was kept in irons three months, the King
then released me, and gave me a fern ale slave. I
immediately went to the slave taken in the canoe;
who told me in what manner Mr. Park, and all of
them bad died, and what I have related above."

the afternoon. Lomas was called ihto Mid-
&on's, office a few ininw:es before MeS. Morrey,
and told that the wretched woman had Cohles.sed '
her guilt ; to whieh Lomas replied, " it is -bet-

-it, th let them" receive the Sacrament together, it
appeared to give a degrce of satisfaction 'to Lomas,
who' aid, " I had rather she did receive' the Sa7
crament with me."
Mrs. Morrey was then brhught into the office,
and seeing Lomas, she exclaimed, ``. Oh, dear!"
sat-doWn,. and remained in silent affliction for
some time, with her fa.eo covered. Lomas, wao was
seated at some distance, endeavoured to comfort
and sooth Sher, telling her, to bear up, and to pray
for mercy and forgiveness--their sins, he said,
Were very great, but. God was good, and he hoped
'be would forgive 'them. He said, " I must go
il.ow,.you will have to stay a little longer, all. our
time is s'hort, 'and if we repent of our sins we may
meet in Heaven." He then asked his mistress
whether she had ever said to any one, that he.
(Lhihas) bad got up to Murder his master, at'
twelVe, one, and half-past one, the night before
the murder ; which site denied, saying, " 'lt is
not true ; they have made that amongst them."
She complained of a wonian, whom she. alluded.
to, as concerned, in thefabrication of such reporth
as one that was never sober. -Lomas then prayed
to God to forgive-them, and to forgive him, for
he had done a very wicked act, and he deserved to
die, for it.. He could. not wish to live. " If they
:had not found me guilty, they would not. have
dime justice : it is' only doing me, justice to hang
the'. -,There is 'a GOd above, and I hope to see my
master in the other world." At. this Mrs. Morrey
said " Pray. God you may !" LormaS again ad=
Monished his mistress, as 'she had a longer tinie.
allowed her, to confess her sins and repent.
To 11questihn put to her by Min"fludson„ Mrs.
Morrey denied that 'she took the candle into the
other room,, and saidhshe would not let the see,
vant.girl-go through the window; she repeated
she did not hold the candle.; Lothas said, " Mis-
tress, do not say so, it will do- you no good to deny
it.; .when I told--you Hannah was coming, you.
pinched the candle out." Mrs. Morrey'S reply to
this was, " my good lad, it was net so ; there
have been many false things said ;" and she then
Proceeded to animadvert upon" some part of the.
evidence upon the trial, which were afterwards,
by the explanation of Mr. Hudson, reconciled;
and understood by the convicts to 'be correctly
given. Mrs. Morley admitted that she took the
shirt out of the box, and threw it upon the bag
of b'sriev ; Lo has said he put the box upon
the bed. When Mr. Hudson asked Mrs, Morrey
how she could ever expect to be acquitted, She,
declared it to be from a supposition that IJoulas's
confession could not be admitte,d evidence against
her. Lomas observed, that he was riot likely to
do otherwise than confess ; but the coptessifin
did not come 'against them ; there was enotigh,.
he said, without it. Mrs. Morrey then said, her
husband had declared, the night of the murder,
that he should turn Lomas awarthat week, for
he suspected that'he got up in the night to get to
the drink. This, Lomas said, was very unlikely,
for he had said nothing to him, but appeared very
well satisfied, and was joking and in good huinaur
with him that very hight. They never had, he
said, many words ; any thing of that sort was
soon over.; they neither of theni ever bore ally
malice ; tie liked his nias, er—be was a very good
master; but, added he, " I wish he had turned me
away that • And Mrs. Morrey repeated;
I wish he had; but I hope -your sins will be
forgiven.," and mine too ; it was your own
you Were always prokihg at, me, and Would note
let me alone:" This was retorted upon her by.
.Lomas, who ~said ft -was she that would not let
ham alone ; and he reminded her of a partieider
instance on the very night of the murder, when 'she
gu:out of bed, and came to him, and' he Wanted
her to go to bed again, and she Would not ; land
.he ,:vas all in a tremble.' She replied, know I'
ha've 4cen too bad as well as von."
Mr. Hudson asked Whether she. could have ex- •
pected to live happy in case she hadbeenacquit-',
tell ;. and she said, she never should have been
happy-7-" I know that I liave done wrong, and 1
have sinned." Mr. H. asked Lomas how he got
toe axe that he struck his Master with 5- and he
said, ,his mistress gave it into .his hand. The ob-
servation she, hiadeth this was, " My -dear,lad,
is it not oh the chair,?" lie said, " Why, mis-
.,tress, you put it in any hand ;" 7hich she did not
deny; and being asked about the razor, he said
his ,mistress- concealed it under her petticoats;
that he took the axe, and while fiis rhistreSs- held
the candle,
,he struck his master three times; she
then pinched /the candle out, and they both ran
Into the house-place, where thevheard him groan,
upon which his mistress said, " John, he is alive;
go, and kill him;" Mrs. Morrey replied to this,.
she only made the observation, " John, he is
He then went and' struck him with the
axe two or three times, in the dark, and return-
ed, when she gave him the razor ; they still
heard him grhafiing ; Lomas persisted in it, be-
fore her, that she directed him to gh and kill him,
to go and cut his throat ! She continued to deny
this part, whilst he repeated it as true ; and he
said he did go in consequence,, and found his Inas-
ter. raised in his bed, and attempting to get Off
backwards ; when getting ;close up "to him, his
'master appearing to know him, laid his head upon
Loinas's breast, and caught- hold of his shirt with.
his right hand; Lomas said that he thrust his
hand. away, and got his, master's head under his
left arm he then cut his throat twice, desperate
cuts and deep, and then ran and got into bed,
and pretended to be asleep. The razor. 11... put un-
der. a bag in b s room, but in the morning he took
it, and when he went to water the mare, 'he threw
it into the pit near the house, and he saw it again,
he :aid, on the trial, it being found there when_
the water was let off.
Mrs. Morrey was 'then solemnly questioned by
Mr. Hudson, about the truth of Lomas's declara-
tions, and whether it was not nearly the truth
and she said " It is nearly the truth." She said
he was sixteen weeks mile with child, and en-
. • tered into a calculation from the time of her being
in prison. Lomas asked her 'about thetime of her
misgarriage; and she gave him the particular time,
stating, that it was the day she prepared to go to

said she freely forgave Lomas ; and he said he
forgave her; and finally said, " Fare you Av,;ll,
Mistress.''

FROM THE,'LONDON GAZETTE, 'SEPT. 1

J-Office, Sept. 1; 1812.

Vice-Admiral Sir James Saumarez; Bart. K B.
has transmitted 'to John. Wilson Croker, Esq. a
Letter from Rear-Admiral Martin;of w[nen the

fo;.lo.wing is an e4.tiact.

Riga, Atig.) Q. Icl2.

In my letter to you of the sth •instant-, Z naen-.
tioned.that the-division of kuh-boats uncier Capt.
Stuart,- associated with another division Under a
RuSsin:Captain, had proceeded up the BoHero
river tO co-operate _with a body of troops front
this place and the garrisor rf DUnamande ; the
object of the expedition being, in the first place,
to take the enemy by surprise, and, failing in
that, to force- them back'from Schlock, and, if
possible, to penetrate to Mittau.
,The service chiefly assigned, to the British was,
to `keep in advance, and, if practiCable, to destroy
the bridges which were convenient for the retreat
of the enemy; and-the only bridge (that of Kai=
nezeen) was speedily and effectually rendered un-
serviceable.

General Louis, who commanded 11-re troops,
gives the highest praise to Captain Stuart, and
the British boats employed upon that service.
