(Front the 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
that, 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 live in the immee
diate neighbourhood of the spot where the scaffold
is erected. But on this oceasion it was universally
known that the sentence was to be carried into
effect immediately atter the rejection of the appeal
by the Court of Caseation. The fate of the Mi-
Careme (for reasons alluded to in a former letter)
gave an intervening 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
from 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 Ro.
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
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 Perela Chaise. There are a
few houses in the Rue de la Roquette itself from
which 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 and Jules Jan in, and with
the express view of baffling public curiosity. If this
be so, few spots could have been better chosen fo r
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 encourage a public exhibition, good
views might be obtained, but these are private pro-
perty ; and on this occasion sentries were placed to
pwreervee,nhtthe o
wev
ertpublicto-day,
fromay,
rebreaking
(whatint
tohtehey i
mayn. There
have
been prec;sely I can only conjecture), beyond the
laudable 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 taken 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 some few 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-
tered 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 apiece. A seller of Inamortelles, named Philips,
living at No. 166, Rue de la Roquette, had lot 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 stb,
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 tau form no idea except that, judging
from the crowds I saw converging towards the
prison, the numt ors must have been unprecedentl
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 outsi,te, 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 deck
struck seven, two figures of men in white shirts,
with long black vets 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 meu 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 first on the platform. He was
instantly strapped to the fatal plank, the black veil
being pulled off at the same moment, and in an
incredible short space of time his head was off.
Orsini, while the knife was descending upon his
accomplice, ?las 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 sendhim
into the new world. His own fate was immediately
accomplished with equal rapidity. . it Was not, 44

(From 14e 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 Lopelle-
tier was received by the Procureur-G-eneral. As
I previously announced to you, that warrant only
included Orsini and Pierri. The punishment of
De Rudio is commuted into penal servitude for life.
Since their condemnation it was judged proper
to employ the strait-waistcoat with the three con-
victs as a precautionary measure against any pos-
sible act of violence eitheron themselves or on those
placed in contact with them. The reprieve of De
Rudio 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
it. We bring you good news, you are to have a com-
mutation

You
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 yesterdayinstead of this morning, it was
in no wise owing to the superstitious feeling about
Friday ; but it happened that the Friday of this
week followed the Thursday of Mi 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 jibs and laughter of those wh, were
returning from festivities prolonged till the dawn,
should contrast with the death knell of. the prison
chapel ; that the Descente de la Courtille should
pass side by side with the scaflold. For these rea-
sons 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 Roquette. In former timesthe
Place de la Grove, now Place de .l'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 Roquette, it
is in front of thee builtMigs, and in the
small square which separates them, that the guil-
lotine is erected. The Rue de la Roquette ex-
tends from the Place de la'Baatille to the Barriers
d'Aunay on the external Boulevard, close to the
famous burial ground of Pere la Chaise. About
half-way, and on the left, the Rue 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 sf La Roquette is filled with
the shops of dealers in tombs, headstones, coffins,
and funeral garlands 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, debut/eh"
on the other; while
the Rue de la Roquette, as a mid-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
clouds
whole of last night were almost beyond calculation.

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 Tile
might be seen moving towards the same direction,
the occasional flash of bayonets in the gaslight was
discernable, and nearer still the vague mass, witn-

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 had 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 elected, and on it rose the instrument
of death, the name of recalls which so many ter-
ribla associations. There 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 trisicgular shape, with its
edge like a razor's ; hard by it the shell fur the
body after decapitation, and in front the basket
for the head ; the cord by which the blale is kept
suspended, the framework, painted a dull red, just
discerned in the dismal glimmering of
a winter's
morning, all presented a most hideous spectacle.
At 5 o'clock the sound of bugles and drums was
heard in all the passages issuing on 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. That' then wheeled
round, and separating into several detachments,
swept the Placa 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 rivalry and squads of Sergens de Ville.
The place of execution was occupied by cavalry, as
well as the space which rues round both prisons.
In less than half-an-hour numerous detachments of
infantry, preceded by squads of Sergens de Vile
to clear the way, took reelsessiort 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 Orsiniancl Pierri wereawoke
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
a calm when, the news,
the wretched men lappeare
