A Fleet of Merchantmen, from the Baltic, have
arrived off Whitby.
The Matilda, from Pernambuco to London, (a
prize to the Lion privateer,) was taken a few days
since, off the Land's End, by the Argus American
brig of war, of 20 guns and 150 men, which had pre-
viously captured several other vessels.
A New-York Paper of the 29th of May says--
a This morning, at six o'clock, was shot, on Gower-
nor's Island, for highly mutinous conduct, a soldier,
by the name of Patrick Byrne."
This morning Williamßadcoct, Edmund Brelit, and
Peter Ennis, for forgeries ; an d William Smith, for se-
creting and stealing a letter, containing Bank of
England notes; were, pursuant to their sentences,
executed before the Debtors' door, Newgate, in pre-
sence of a greater concourse of spectators than has
been remembered for several years on such an occa-
sion. These unfortunate men were brought upon
the scaffold a few minutes before eight o'clock, by
the Executioner and his assistant, who, after prepar-
ing them to meet the awful moment, then retired
from off the platform, leaving them in prayer with
two Clergymen, with whom they remained 15 ut a few
moments, in the short space of which they all seemed
perfectly resigned to their fates, which they islet
with becoming fortitude ; when their bodies, after
being suspended the usual period, were cut down
and taken into the inner yard, to be delivered to their
respective friends for interment.—Buriit, by some
means, had got conveyed to him in the prison a small
pocket-pistol, which he artfully had concealed in
his breeches-pocket. He retired to bed last night,
as is usual, with an attendant to 'sit up with him,
who, happening to fall asleep, Burkitt took the op.
portunity and discharged the pistol under his (Bur-
kitt's) left breast—the ball, however, escaped the
heart, and the wretched man's intention was frustrated
—He was assisted on the platform apparently itt
great pain, the ball not having been extracted.
The case of Wihrhhe, the seaman, ordered for ens,
cution to-morrow, is a distressing one. After esca.
ping from a French prison, he was again seized at
Calais, and sent to prison. He escaped a second
time, and then passed himself for an American. In
this character he was forced on board an American
privateer which captured a British trader, and one of
those put on board the prize, which was afterwards .
recaptured. It is believed that, so far from servieg
willingly against his country, he :actually formed a
plan for seizing the prize and running her into Li-
verpool; in which, however, he was not successful,
He is a fine youth, aged 25 years, and has actually
served twelve years and been wounded in the British
Navy.—The Jury have signed a Memorial in his fat
your, stating, that the facts that have transpired
since his trial would have had great influence on their
minds in the consideration of their verdict, had they
been stated on his trial, and• re:outmoding him an
object of the Royal clemency.
Saturday last, as Mr. MONTAGU BURGOYNE, of
Mark Hall, in the county of Essex, was driving his
barouche in the neighbourhood of Leamington, in
Warwickshire, his eldest daughter was uufortunately
thrown from the barouche-box by a violent jolt : she
was taken up speechless, and her death was expected
for some time ; but by bleeding the was recovered,
and, as there was no fracture, the greatest hopes are
entertained of her recovery, •
