gccuainted with the most secret desizns of Murat,
khi disposed every thing in such a manner that pub.
fic order might not suffer : but its measures bore
;always the character of a paternal government. Al.
though it was known that Murat attempted to plunge
the country into all the horrors of anarchy and civil
w,,r, the government never permitted, in the whole
extritt of the kingdom, a single individual to be ar-
t c,t,d ; so deeply convinced was it sif the fidelity of
its subjects. This does honour to the beast of the
King, who was not deceived in thus confiding to the
devoted affection of his people.
History will remember with honour the zeal of the
generous inhabitants of Pizzo. The benefits of his
Majesty towards them, and the noble conduct of the
judicial authorities, civil and military, who have all,
on this occasion, acquired new rights to the affection

Murat was taken before a military Commission, con-

Murat was tried by a military commission, and by
the same law made by himself two years since, which
erdereJ, that any person landing in this country, with
an intent of disturb;ng the public tranquillity, was to
Lee tried and shot. He suffered on Friday last, at
four o'clock,p. w. He had a confessor, but would
neither sit down nor have his eyes blindfolded.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1815:
XING WILLIAM 111. LANDltele...HOildiy at the Bank;

No business•of a public nature was transacted this
morning at the Stock Exchange, it being a holiday,
but private bargains were done at a depression cf 14
in Omnium since yesterday : Omnium being yester-
day morning at 16, and this 141. This is attributed
tormlavourable priyate accounts from Paris, and also
to the great number of sales which have taken place
within these few days by the public ; another reason
is stated, that a great quantity of money, recently
sent to this country for the purchase of Stock, has
ben countermanded, from the unsettled state of affairs
on the Continent.

Last night we received the Paris Papers of the Is
instant (Wednesday). In the ifoniteur there is a
transcript front the Official Journal of the Neapolitan
Government, giving a few particulars of the progress
and close of the last mad enterprize of the late Revo-
lutionary Yrs° of NAPLICS. He met with no support
whatever on his landing on terra firma : on the con-
trary, the population instantly Mew to arms to oppose
him and his mischievous projects, defeated and made
him prisoner. He was instantly Died by a Military
Commission ; condemned, and executed at three
o'clock on the afternoon of the 13th ult.—The offi-
cial details ate, however, but dry, and comparatively
utiimeresting. So singular an event—one calculated
to furnish so many moral lessons, should not have
been passed over Kith the mere routine announcement
which would characterize the execution of a poor
wretch hanged for stealing—perhaps bread to satisfy
his hunger.
Mutat was a villain of no common stamp. He
Lel- Lot the deep cunning—the strength of intellect
which frequently marks the plans of the most wicked
of mankind; but what he wanted in judgment was
made up in ferocity, in obduracy of heart, in a seard-
tess of conscience which defied the access of any
compunctions which could for a moment suspend or
impede the execution of the foulest crimes.
In eases of common atrocity, the death of a mise-
rable victim of offended justice, especially vi hen
hastened by something resembling an act of insanity,
(as in the case now bi fore us) excites commiseration.
But, alas, we have before us, on the present occa-
sion, the bloody page of history in which the assassi-
ration of the gallant, the youthful, the loyal, ::nd
t:.e accomplished Duke D'ENoutem is recorded, and
in which this very low-born, illiterate ruffian, MustaT,
acted virtually as his executioner.
" Before day-light, on the morning of the 21st of
March, 1804," says the historian, 66 General MURAT,
under an escort of Manelukes, each carrying a torch,
arrived at the Castle of Vincennes: he was accom-
panied by four Aides-de-camp, and Genet als Enna an
Isi"TIER, Dunoc, MAIN, and Louts BONAPAnTE,
will came on purpose from the coast to witness the
execution. Italian troops, upon whom alone Mostar
could depend, bad previously surrounded the Castle,
and guarded all the approaches. '!'lie Duke had
been fiv days and five nights fed upon bread and
w a:et : he was not allowed, during that time, to lie

upon a bed, to dress or shave himself : linen he had
,none. From the weight of his irons and the fatigue
of his journey (for CAULAINCOUrT gave him no rest)
he could scarcely stand. The Jailor announced to
him, by order of MURAT, that his sentence was to
be immediately exlcuted.l I am ready, and re-
signed,' said tlw Duke.

•• The Jailor then informed him that the grenadiers
of BcltiA PA RT BIS Italian Guards waited for him at the
door, and were to execute the sentence. • Thank
GOD, they are not Frenchmen—l am condemned by
a Forvigner, And, GOD be praised, my Executioners
ate ah,o Foreigners—it will be a stain less upon my
coutat men !' He then advanced with a firm pace
to the tatal "pot, and lifting his hands to HEATBN,
w,tiuiut regarding the gloomy countenancs of the
'assassins around him, he exclaimed •••••• May Goa
preserve my King, and deliver my country from the
yoke of the foreigner !'
Ile then looked stedfastly at the grenadiers, whose
pieces had been levelled during his ejaculation, by
order of MURAT. • Friend:!' said he: •• You have
no friends here," growled the voice of a Barbarian
from the crowd—it was that of MURAT. • Grena-
diers, then, (said the DUKE) lower your arms, other.
wise you will miss me, or only wound me.' The
word • Fire' was then given by MURAT : seven of the
nine grenadiers hit him; two balls passed through
the head, and five through the body. A small coffin,
filled with lime, was then produced, and after being
stripped of a valuable diamond brooch, either by the
hand: or ly the kection of MURAT hisueN the body
was thrown into a grave dug in the garden. An
Aide-de-Camp was dispatched by MURAT to Mal-
maison, where BONAPARTE then was, with a verbal
account of the murder.
•• The brooch above alluded to as taken from the
Duke's person, was sold by MURAT, or some of his
gang, to a jeweller in Paris; by him it was transmit.
ted to an agent in London, in order to offer it for
sale to the Prince of CONDE and the Duke of BOUR.
BON, the Duke d'EmustEa's father and grandfather."

A Mail from Holland and the Netherlands arrived

have given copious extracts from all the Journals
thus received in another part of our Paper.
