EXECUTION OF aRt-INI AND PIERRI

AT PARIS.

(From the Moniteur of Saturday.)
The execution of Giuseppe Andrea Piezri and a
Felice Orsini; condemned to the punishment of par-
ricides by the decree of the Court of Assizes of the
Seine on the 26th of February last, took place this
morning at 7 o'clock on the Place de la Roquette.
The condemned, informed at half-past 5 that their
appeal had been rejected, were assisted in their last
moments by Messrs. the Almoners Hugon and Not-
telet. The final expiation was accomplished in the
presence of a considerable crowd, evidently im-
pressed with the remembrance of the criminal at-
tempt of Jan. 14.
The sentence of death passed upon Carlo de Rudio
has been commuted into that of hard labour for lite.

(Front th. Daily News.)
Orsini and Pierri were executed this morning.
The Emperor has thought fit to reprieve De Rudio,
whose sentence will doubtless be commuted into
hat of imprisonment with hard labour for life. He
will, it is believed, be sent to England in custody,
to give evidence against Dr. Bernard.
Probably no execution in Paris ever, attracted so
many would-be spectators as that of the regicides
of the Rue Lepelletier, and yet, the. number of
actual witnesses was fewer than usual. Generally,
-the secret of the day of an execution is so well kept
that few learn it except those who lire in the imme-
diate neighbourhood of the spot where the scaffold
is erected. But on this occasion it was universally
known that the sentence was to be, carried into
effect immediately atter the rejection of the appeal
by the Court of Cassation. The fete of the Ali-
Caroms (for reasons alluded to in a former letter)
gave an inter eening day, and the rejection of the
appeal thus becoming public in Paris yesterday, it
was not doubted by any one last night that the exe-
cution would take place this morning. The con-
sequence was that all night long there was unusual
animation in Paris. Thousands went towards the
Place de la Roquette even before midnight, hoping
that by long patience they might occupy a position
ft em which something at least of the terrible drama
could be seen. Others, who though curious, were
not prepared to sacrifice a whole night's rest for
what every one knew to be a most doubtful chance,
rose at one, two, three, and four o'clock, and thus
at all hours of the night parties might be seen in al-
most every street hurrying towards the scene of
action. I myself crossed the Rue Rivoli at four in
the morning, and then the heavy measured tread
of a battalion of infantry passing along in marching
order at that dead hour of darkness, left no doubt
that the bloody business was about to come off.
But such extraordinary precautions were taken to
prevent the possibility of any disorder (not to say
emeute, of which, however, there were apprehen-
sions), that only an infinitesimal fraction of the
vast numbers that had turned out could see so much
as a square inch of a single beam of the guillotine.
The present place of public execution in Paris,
which, a few years ago' was substituted for the old
one at the Barriere St. Jacques, is situated in front
of the principal gate of the Prison de la Roquette.
The larger prison, des Jeunes Detenus, is exactly
opposite, on the other side of the Rue de la Re.
quette. The space called the Place de la Roquette
planted with young trees, is not larger than a slip
of waste land by a roadside, so inconsiderable that
an English court would hold it to belong to the
adjoining freehold and not to -the lord of the manor.
Unless you are admitted to this small open place—
and none but the military and police are allowed to
be there—the only place out of doors from which a
good view of the scaffold can be had is from the Rue i
St. Maur, or the upper end of the Rue de la Ro-
quette, inside the barrier of Aulnay, which is exactly
opposite the entrance to Pe rela Chaise. There are a
few houses in the Rue de la Roquette itself from
wiiich the scaffold might be seen. It is said that
the present locality was selected originally in
consequence of the stirring pictures of executions
drawn by Eugene Sue Mad Jules janiu, acid- with•
the express view of. baffling public curiosity. If this
be so, few spots could have been better chosen for
the purpose. Although the Place de la Roquette is
commanded on many sides by high ground, the
angles of the two prisons prevent the fatal portals
from being seen from any of the neighbouring
streets. There are some enclosed gardens near the
prison of the Jeunes Detenus, from which, if it
were desired to encourages public exhibition, good
views might be obtained, but these ate private pro-
perty ; and on this occasion sentries were placed to
prevent the public from breaking into them. There
were, however to-day, reasons (what they may have
been prec sely I can only conjecture), beyond the
iaudatile desire to prevent the last dread retribu-
tion of human law from being made an occasion for
indecent revelry and an indulgence of prurient cu-
riosity, which induced the authorities to keep the
public at arm's length. An unusual number of
troops were brought upon the ground. The- early
spectators who, in spite, perhaps, of remonstrances
on the part of policemen, had takenl up their posi-
tions in places considered to be public, command-
ing a view of the guillotine, were remorselessly
driven away by the military. In somelew instances
people arriving at the last moment contrived to
occupy privileged spots from which others who had
painfully held them for hours had been ousted.
From four in the morning military occupation was
taken of the streets leading into the Rue de la Ro-
quette, and it was impossible to approach within a
quarter of a mile of the prison. But this is not all.
The private houses opposite the prison were en-
' tored by the police, and all the people who hadpaid
for seats in the windows were turned out. This fact
is reported tome by persons who had paid 25 francs
for a place. A seller of Immortelles, n.aeseciPhilips,
living at No. 166, Rue de la Roquette, had let his
frontage for 300 francs. All the occupants were
turned out shortly before the execution. These
extraordinary measures lead to the belief, and
indeed it is difficult to imagine any other ground
which could justify them, that the Government
feared that Orsini-shells might be thrown from the'
windows at the troops surrounding the scaffold.
It is certain that an attempt to break open the
prison and rescue the prisoners had been appre-
hended for some time. I hear it said, but do not
guarantee the fact, that the insurrectionary assem-
blage in Paris on the night of the 4th and sth,
which the Moniteur alluded to without mentioning
the locus in quo, was connected with au attempt of
this kind. It is impossible to say with any ap-
proach toaccuracy what may have been the number
of persons who attempted to see the execution. I
heard it estimated at from 100,000 to 200,000.
For myself I can form no idea except that, judging
froth the crowds I saw converging towards the
' prison, the uumlers must have been unpreeedentl)
large. But the military dispositions were so well
taken that the crowd was cut into sections and
hemmed in in particular streets, from which no one
could emerge togain another spot in the neighbour-
hood of the central point of attraction without
making a very large circuit. In the Rues St. Maur,
Popincoutt, La Muette, Les Amandiers de Popin-
court, the street inside the walls of Paris, and the
Boulevards outside, crowds were seen for hours
before dawn hurrying backwards and forwards, in
the vain hope of finding a better position.
After this long introduction, which, however
contains an epitome of all that was really seen by
the general public, who "went to see the execu-
tion, ' the description of the catastrophe itself is
short and matter of fact. What may have passed
within the prison walls I cannot tell, but at a
quarter to seven o'clock the front door of the
Roquette. was thrown open. A little while after-
wards, and as nearly as possible as the clock
struck seven, two figures of men in white shirts,
with long black veils on their heads, and bare-
footed (according to the letter of the sentence
on parricides) were seen walking towards the
guillotine. Two priests and several other men
(the executioner and his assistants) were by their
sides. The men walked without support. One
(Orsini I believe) stooped his head a little. The
distance from the:door of the prison to the foot of
the scaffold was not more than 30 yards. The two
prisoners began to mount the steps almost together,
but Pierri arrived fiat on the platform. He was
instantly strapped to the fatal plank, the black veil
being pulled off at the same
timem his

Orsini, while the knife was descending upon his
accomplice, was suddenly laid hold of by two as-
sistants, and from motives of humanity turned
round so that he might not see the working of the
instrument which, a minute later, was to send him
into the new world. His own fate

I am told, more than four minutes from the time
that the condemned appeared at the prison gate
before all was over. The bodies were at once placed
in a closed van and conducted by an escort of gend-
armes right through the heart of Paris to the Mont
Parnasse Cemetery, where they were buried in that
special place for criminals called Clamart, and
which is ofteri wrongfully confounded by readers of
Jules Janin's " L'Ane Morte et la Femme Gila-
lotinee," with the beautiful village of Clamart, near
Meudon.

his breakfast, chos,) an omelet au lard (an omelet
with bacon),, and said gaily, " Si on me coupe le

(From the Times.)
At half-past 5o clock last evening the warrant to
execute the sentence of the Court of Assize upon
those convicted of the attempt in the Rue Lepelle-
tier, was received by the Procureur-GeOeral. , As-
I prviously announced to you that warrant or4Y-:

wince their condemnation it was judged proper
to employ. the strait-waistcoat with the three"con-
,vic s as a precautionary measure against any pos-
sibl e act of violence either on themselves or on those
placed in contact with them. The reprieve of De
Radio rendered that restraint no longer necessary,
and the Governor did not delay a moment in giving
orders to free him from it. When the turnkeys
who were charged with the_ duty entered De
Rudio's cell they found him buried in sleep. They
shook him once or twice before he awoke • when he
opened his eyes and sat up on his pallet he stared
fearfully at them and for a moment appeared be-
wildered. He thought they came to announce that
his last moment had arrived, and he recoiled from
their touch. " Don't be afraid," they said, " don't
be afraid, we are , not going to injure you ; far from.

need hardly be told what the feelings of the poor
wretch , were. It is said that he hummed an air
during the operation. .If the execution did not
take place yes terday ituiteed of this morning, it was
Mato wise owing to the superstitious feeling about
Friday ; but it happened that the Friday of this
week followed the Thursday of. Afi Careme (Mid-
Lent), and it was very properly felt to be improper
that two men should die on the scaffold at the same
time, in the same suburb,-and the same streets
that were thronged with masks, revellers, and
mummers; that within sight of the guillotine yawn-
ing for its prey the most fantastic costumes should
figure ; that the joyous sound of horns and trum-
pets, and the jib=-s and laughter of those who were
returning from festivities prolonged till the dawn,
should contrast with the death knell of the prison
chapel ; that the Descezite de la Courtille should
pass side by side with the scaffold. For these rea-
scts the execution was postponed a day.
Since the trial you are aware that the prisoners
were transferred from the Conciergerie to the con-
demned prison known as the Nouveau Bicetre, in
the Place de la 11.quette. In former times the
Place de la Greve, now Place de ]'Hotel do Ville,
was the spot where criminals were put to death.
Indeed, it might well be called the Field 'of
Blood ; its pavement has-been many times stained
with the blood of the victims of all revolutions, as
well as of those who have fallen by the hand of
justice. Since the completion of the two prisons
at the extremity of the Rue de la Ithquotte, it
is in front of these buntings, and in th,
small square which separates taem, that the guil-
lotine Id erected. The Rue 0bk..10, ~oqueLto ex-
tends from the P4aoe deist 131.. e.-to the Bweriere
d'Annay on the external. Boulevard, close to the
famous burial ground of Pere la Chaise. About
half-way, and on the left, the line Popincourt joins
it at right angles, and is continued on the other
side in a straight line in the Rue de Bastroid.
From that point of intersection to its extremity
nothing is calculated to inspire more melancholy
thoughts than that street. You feel long before you
emerge on to the Boulevard that you are approach-
ing the great receptacle of the dead ; more than
half the upper part of La Roquette is filled with
the shops of dealers in tombs, headstones, coffins,
and funeral earlauds in endless variety. Further
on rise gloomily the two large, prisons, and from
the prisons to the cemetery is little more than a
step. The population. in, this part of Paris is
dense ; the long streets of Reuilly, Picpus, Charen-
ton, and last, not least, the famous faubourg and
street of St. Antoine, with their many tributaries,
converge to the Place de la Bastille on one side,
and the Boulevard Beaumarchais, with the nume-
rous thoroughfares, debouches on the other ; while
the Rue de la Roquette, as
amid-channel, runs as
I have said from the Bastille to the prisons. For
the last two nights the Place de la Roquette and
the streets contiguous were covered with a multi-
tude, who braved the intense cold and wet to wit-
ness the execution ; the crowds that held vigil the
-whole of last night were almost beyond calculation.
This morning the weather was bitterly cold, and
the ground wet, from the snow which had fallen.
The sky was covered with clouds of a slate colour,
and under that dismal canopy dark gray mists,
were drifting about.
The streets in the more distant part of the city were
deserted, but as you neared the quarter contiguous
to the prison detached squads of Sergens de Ville
might be seen moving towards the same direction,
transparent like funeral crape,
the occasional flash of bayonets in the gaslight was
discernable, and nearer still the vague mass, with-
out form or outline, and he fro,
avingoaching.
to and showed
was approaching. that the awful moment Now and
then a butcher's or a market gardener's cart, with
its red lamp in front, rolled heavily along, and with
difficulty made its way through the crowd. Many
of the spectat rs bad brought their breakfasts with
them ; they had their loaves under their arms,
their pipes in their mouths. Some men were
grave and serious, and spoke in a low tone of
voice ; others jested and laughed, and many ob-
served that the -
prisoners well deserved their fate.
About 15 paces from the gate of the prison the
scaffold was erected, and on it rose the instrument
of death, the name of which recalls so many ter-
rible associations. Thera it stood on its platform
like a ladder without steps—the block with the
hole for the head to enter, at the lower end ; at the
upper the heavy knife of triangular shape, with its
edge like a razor's; hard by it the shell for the
body after decapitation, and in front the basket
for the head ; the cord by which the blade is kept
suspended, the framework, painted a dull red, just
discerned in the dismal glimmering of a winter's
morning, all pre,ented a most hideous spectacle.
At 5 o'clock the sound of bugles and drums was
heard in all the passages issuing en the Place de la
Roquette. In a few minutes several squadrons of
cavalry were heard advancing, the men wrapped in
their blue or white cloaks, and the Dragoons's
helmets gleaming in the lamplight. The whole of
the 3d Hussars, two squadrons of heavy horse, two
squadrons of mounted Gendarmerie, issued from
the side-streets on the square. They then wheeled
round, and separating into several detachments,
swept the Place and the streets close to it, and
quietly but firmly compelled the multitude to fall
back to the north side of the Rue St. Maur, and
the south of the Rues Popincourt and Basfroid,
Where they were kept at a respectful distance by
two battalions of infantry, supported by divers
sections of cavalry and squads of Sergens do vile.
The place of execution was occupied by cavalry, as
well as the specie which rues round both prisons.
In less than half-an-hour numerous detachments of
infantry, preceded by squads of Sergens do Vile
to clear the way, took possession. of all the points
of the Faubourg St. Antoine, issuing on the Ro-
quette, and whoever chanced to pass in that direc-
tion was obliged to show satisfactorily that he was
going on his lawful occupation. The armed force
called into requisition on this occasion was calcu-
lated at over 5,000 men ; they were under the im-
mediate command of a General of Brigade.
Precisely at 6 o'clock Orsini and Pierri were awoke
from their sleep by the Governor of the prison,
who announced that their last hour was come.
The Abbe Hugon, chaplain of the Roquette, and
the chaplain of the Conciergerie, were present. I
do not profess to give particulars of what passed
within the walls of the cell, but I may observe that
the wretched men 'appeared calm when the newss

which could not have taken them by surprise, was
announced to them.. I am assured that they heard
mass andreceiied. the Communion with respect, if
-not devotion. Soon after they. were taken to the
room called de la toilette, for the change of dress.
;.It is not large. On the present occasion it contained,
besides the chaplains and the governor of the prison,
about-30 persons, the principal among whom were
the greffier, or clerk, representing the Court of
Assize and the huislier, or usher, who was charged
with reading the sentence on the scaffold. The re-
mainder were apparently police agents. When the
convicts entered the chambre de/a toilette, they were
placed at different extremities of it, with their backs
turned to each other. There were two assistant-exe-
cutioners—one fr .m Rouen, the other from Caen—
besides him of Paris. These lost no time in prepar-
ing the convicts for the scaffold. During the dread-
ful operation Orsini, remained calm ; and, though
he was not so loud or contradictory as during his
trial, Pierri was somewhat excited. The sera;-
waistcoat interfered with his gesticulations, but he
hardly ceased talking for a moment. When the exe-
cutioner was pinioning him he asked that the fast.
enings should not be drawn too tight, as he had no
intention of escaping. The cold touch of the steel
en his neck when the scissors cut off his hair, so as
Rot to interfere with the guillotine, for:an instant
appeared to ,thrill through him ; but he recovered.
himself when he found that his beard was left un-
tauch d.
,He thanked the executioner for letting
him die with his face as became a man. When the
hood, to which the veil which covers the features
of the parricide is suspended, was put over his
head, he is said to have laughed, and attempted a
joke about the figure he must cut. At this moment
he turned his head and perceived Orsini ; he saluted
him gaily, and asked how he. was getting on. He
was interrupted by'Orsini, who was himself under-
going the same operation with the same sangfroid
acif he were under the hands of a.valet dressing
for a party, with the words, "Be calm, be calm,
my friend." Pierri's tongue ran on, however.
The assistant proceeded to strip him of! his shoes,
for in pursuance of the sentence they were to
proceed to the scaffold barefooted. The man ap-
peared to hesitate, but Pierri encouraged him to
proceed, and assisted him as much as he could, still
talking. The operation being over, and the toilette
complete, he turned towards the turnkey and asked
to be allowed to embrace him. This request
was con plied with. The moment of moving now
came, and the Abbe Hugon cried out "Courage ! "
"Oh !I am not afraid—l am not afraid," he said,
" we are going to Calvary," and in a sort of feverish
excitement he repeated to himself, " Calvary, 1
Calvary."
Orsini was, on the other hand, as calm and
tranquil as his fellow-convict was excited. He spoke
little ; but when the governor of the prison and
some of the officers approached him be bade them
in a low tone of voice farewell. The turnkey of his
cell announced to him in a tone of regret that his
last moment was come. Orsini thanked him: for his
sympathy. His hair was also cut away from his
neck, but he underwent the operation without
flinching. At the moment when the hood was put
on his head his face, which up to that moment was
cairn and impassable, became flushed for a moment
and his eye lighted up.
The prison clock struck 7 ; before the last sound
died away the door leading to the scaffold opened
as of itself. The Abbe Hugon entreated Pierri to
profit by the few moments still left to collect his
thoughts and a4sume a calmer attitude. He pro-
mised to be cilm, but said he should chant a patriotic
hymn ; and it is said that he actually began 'to sing
the well-known " Mourir pour la Patrie." Leaning
on the Abbe Hugon he mounted 15 steps of the
scaffold. still repeating the verses of the song.
Orsini was supported by the chaplain of the Con-
ciergerie, and his calmness never abandoned him
for a moment. When he appeared on the platform
it pould be slen' from the movement of his body
and of his head, though covered with the veil, that
he was looking out for the crowd, and probably in-
tended addressing them. But they were too far
off. The greffier then directed the usher to read the
sentence of toe Court condemning the prisoners to
the death of parricides. The .usher, who was an
old man, over 60, was evidently much moved at
having to perform this duty, and he trembled as
much from emotion as from cold as he read the
document, which no one listened to.
After this formality was terminated Orsini and
Pierri embraced their spiritual attendants, and
pressed their lips on the crucifix offered to them.
They then gave themselves up to the headsman.

Orsini was then taken in hand. His veil was
raised, and his countenance still betrayed' no
emotion. Before he was fastened to the plank he
turned in the direction of the distant crowd, and,
it is said, cried " Vive la Prancer It was but
five minutes past 7 when the second head fell into
the basket. A cold shudder ran among those
whose attention was fixed on what was passing on
the scaffold, and for an instant there was deep
silence. It passed off, however, very soon. When
all was over men went to their work, and parties
who had gone together to the spot from distant
quarters of the town hastened home to breakfast.
The morning was becoming clearer every moment.
The troops began to move as if about to leave the
ground. The guillotine was lowered and taken off ;
the crowds gradually thinned ; some few groups
still lingered about the spot ; but the cold was
bitter, and the snow began to fall, and in a few
hours the place was deserted.
I am just informed that De Rudio is to basentto
London to give evidence against Bernard.

TBE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE
GOVERNMENT.

(Prom the Morning Herald.)
Cavillers who pretend that the Conservative Go-
vernment is without a policy, and that a change of
rulers has not been followed by an entire and salu-
tary change in the system upon which the affairs of
this country are administered, wilfully close their
eyes to everything passing around. Lord Derby has
not been in office a month, yet important results
have been already achieved ; and the substitution
of Lord Malmesbury for Lord Clarendon, as Foreign
Secretary, may be regarded in more respects than
one as a most fortunate event, Lord Palmerston's
foreign policy was generally condemned ; and by
adopting a bolder, more patriotic, and a thoroughly
consistent course, the new Ministers have at once
elevated the tone of our relations with neighbouring
states, and rescued England from the degradation
into which she was rapidly falling. Count Wa-
lewski's despatch, written in no unfriendly spirit,
but containing passages open to misinterpretation,
has been answered ; and within one week a conciiia-
tory reply has been received. The dignity of both
nations has been fully sustained, and without con-
cession on either side harmony has been re-esta-
blished, each Government renewing the alliance
once imperilled wit, lively enthusiasm. Whilst the
English Minister refers with pride to our free in-
stitudons, and that noble spirit of liberty which
has made England celebrated throughout the world,
Count Walewski recalls the firm and undeviating
attachment of the Emperor to the alliance with
Great Britain, and the numerous proofs which his
Majesty has given of his sincerity. Great judg-
ment and an extraordinaly moderation have been
displayed on both sides ; and this unhappy estrange-
ment has been terminated in a manner honourable
to the two Governments.

In retaining Lord Cowley at the embassy at
Paris, Lord Malmesbury has given an additional
proof of discretion and sound j ndgment. The present
ambassador was appointed by Lord Granville. He
was continued athis post during Lord Malmesbury'R
first tenure of office in 1852, and under Lord John
Russell, for a short, time, in 1853, and during the
two phases of Lord Clarendon's Foreign Secretary-
ship he performed his onerous duties with credit
and success. Lord Malmesbury, in that liberal
spirit which characterises all his official acts, under-
stood the advantage of retaining Lord Cowley'e
valuable services, and at once decided upon making
the attempt. The Foreign Secretary felt that the
respect paid to Lord Cowley by the French Govern-
ment—a respect commanded by our ambassa,dor's
good sense and sterling honesty—would materially
assist in removing obstacles to a good understand-
ing, and in rendering a renewal of the cordial
alliance between the two Governments easy
ac-
complishment. To this impartial and manly con-
duct on Lord Malmesbury's part
