RYE, APRIL I.
Two French lugger privateers appeared of here
last evening, and succeeded in capturing a schconer,
(a big in company). During the time the privateers
were occupied in removing the crew, haulett in and
ran on shore, under the protection of the Marten*
Toweii, and was thus sated from capture. The guns
of the M.rtello Towers were fired with a considerable
promptitude, and a tiring from them was also kept
up of blank cartridges during the night, to alum the-
•essels coating round the Fanlight.

This morning Joseph Drily, May, Jahn Kean, Tho-
mas Richt: Iyonr, Athinton, and Thome: Smith,
for forgeries ; leiCiarn Goulding, for burglary ; and
William Sturman, for setting tire to his house in Half-
moon-street, Piccadilly,. were, pursuant to their sen-
tences, executed before the Debtors' Door, gewgate.
The spectators which were collected on this melan-
choly occasion, were more numerous than has been
remembered for many years pat t at an early hour
they completely filled every street, avenue, &c. to
witness the awful scene, which began to take place
a few minutes before eight o'clock, by the Execs. ' •
tioner and his Assistant ascending the scaffold, lead.
ing one rf the unfortunate then, who, in a sloiv and
firm step, mounted the platform, and thus proceeded
to the spot allotted him: his fellow-srifferers were
very soon afterwards brought forward and conduct-
ed in the like manner to their vari. us stations..
—This scene of arrangement WAS truly digressing.
and drew tears from numbers of beholders, on ob.
serving so many of their fellow creatures, in the prime
of life, fast approaching their untimely ends ; some
of whom leaving wives and children, the former to
lament the lass of a husband, and use liter that of
their father. During the short interval which was
now allowed them to remain in prayer after the ropes
were affixed round each, they all exhibited perfect
symptoms of a resignation to meet that fate which the
laws of their country had decreed them to suffer ;
and which they did, with becoming fortitude, on the
signal for theirdeparture out of this world being made.
and all appeared to die without much struggle. Their
bodies; after being suspended the usual period, were
then cut down and catrled into the inner yard, in
order to be delivered to their respective friends for
interment.
This morning, at ten o'clock, Mode: Callaghan, for
the murder of Moms Manny, at Vauxhall, was exe-
cuted on a temporary platform, erected on the top of
the New Neon, Horsemonger-lane, Southwark. He
was brought from his cell at half-past nine o'clock
into the Chapel, where he remained but a short time,
and soots after was taken out to have his irons knocked
off, previous to hii having the sacrament administered
to him, in the course of which he was frequently ex-
horted to confess his guilt of the crime for which he
was about to suffer; but all exhortations proved in
vain, and in that state of hardihood which he had
from the first of his commitment exhibited was he
launched into eternity, and his body delivered over
_ for dissection.

place.".
