EXECUTION OF THE TR.IITORS.

A little before nine o'clock this morning, the
seven following Prisoners, convicted of High Trea-

son, viz.

Edward Marcus Dotard,
Tho►nas Broughton,
John Francis,
Arthur Graham,
John Afacnamara,
John Wood,' and
James sedgewick Wratten,
were brought out upon the scaffold ereaed on the
top of ,the ,New Gaol, Horsemonger4ane, to un.
dergo the SentenCe of the Law.

Colonel Dtspard came the last upon the Scaf-
fold. He made a Speech to the surrounding
Spedators, in which he declared his innocence of
the Crime for which he was condemned to
.die.
His Fellow-Sufferers said nothing, and all behaved
with great decorum, and resignation to their fate.
After the Colonel had made his Speech he was
greeted by clapping and huzzaing, otherwise the
Populace behaved with the greatest propriety.
Nearly about nine o'clock the Platfoim dropped.
After hanging about half an hour they were cut
down, and decapitated. The whole at the awful
ceremony, was concluded by a quarter past ten.
Cal. Despard was the first who was beheaded.

The Soldiers were dressed in their Regimentals.
The vast assemblage of PeOple who were collea.
ed upon the occasion, were apparently much Aid-
ed at the scene, and quietly disperSed.
Two detachments of the Horse Guards, and one
of the' Scotch Greys were stationed in various parts
of Sr. George's Fields, and about the Obelisk; but
none in the immediate vicinity of the Prison : as
no appearance of riot was visible, the Greys marched
hack before noon. , The Relatives of the unhappy
SUiretCrs at that time were waiting for their bodies.

At six o'clock on Saturday evening, His Majesty's
Warrant tar the Execution of Col. Despard, and
six of 'big associates, and also an order 'from Lord
PE LH4ra, 1-or the respite of the three others under
sentence of death, reached the New Gaol in the
Borough. As the Warrant contained a remission of
part ot the Sentence of those executed this morning,

At eight o'clock yesterday morning Col. Derpard
and his fellow-priboneta were sem fur by Mr. Iv ES
to attend, the Chapel. They,all cheerfully obeyed
the summons except Col. Delpard and Maciramara ;
the twiner assigned no reason for his refusal, but
the latter said he was a Roman Catholic, and it
would not be consistent with his faith.

The Rev. Mr. Wmcicwonni read prayers,
after which fie delivered a very impressive sermon,
extremely applicable to the situation of the prison.

aid to me a, 'inner." The unhappy men joined in
prayer with great devotion; and the impression
made by the'sernion was indicative of true fortitude,
contrition for their crimes, and sincere repentance.
At this time none of the Prisriners were apprised
of the warrant, for their execution being received.
Jt
,was thought best to reserve the unhappy tidings
till their minds had been fortified by the Chaplain's
discourse, which had the desired viral; for when
they heard, the fatal information, they seemed all
thoroughly prepared to meet it.
• .Colonel Dapard seemed more surprised than af.
feacd. The wives and relatives of the Prisoners
were permitted to stay with them the greatest part
of the day. Nothing could bem le distressing than
their farewell on quitting the prison. Colonel Drs.

By daylight, yesterday, Mr. Iv es bad a proper
number of persons employed on the top of the New
Gaol, to erect a platform, and as the morning ad.
vanced, the neighbourhood of Horsemonger-lane
began to he crowded by the populace, to, see the
scalding completed. Towards the middle of the
day the concourse was uncommonly great.
