Some. one (we believe the Colonel) then put this

—" Oh, don't Sir, don't I—pray don't press me 1"

Leary ascended the platform first, and as he st')ol
with one leg resting on the upper step leadng to it;
and the other on the drop, a Gentleman, whom we
understood to be Sir JO:IN CARR, alb-tossed him, by ,
saying—" Now, Leary, as you I:,ve the Country that

This address, which was intended to affect his mind,
'by an allusion the most touching to an Irishman, had
no more effect than every preceding one, to induce
this wretched infatuated man to seal with his dying
breath the clear conviction of his guilt, Looking
steadily at both of these Gentlemen, he said, " I have
nothing more to add to what I have told you ; did
iact commit the murder." He was then placed under
the fatal beam, and became engaged in prayer with
die Rev. Mr. DavEnEux, the Catholic Priest, who
had attended him from the time of his conviction,
still preserving the same firm and composed counte-
nance. Denton then followed, and appeared atilt
more affected, and seemed scarcely able to support
himself. After a few minutes, Dr. Fotin pive the
usual signal, by taking out his pocket handkerchief,
when the platform fell, and the wretched men were;
cor;iened to another world. 13.,th of them appeared

The Gazette of S.,torday contains an Extract of a
Dispatch from S.r G. CoLLnat, mentioding the
very useful co-operation of his squadron, in th. de.
Monstration of an attack upod the back of the rcdc of
St. Sebastian. This, our readers will recollect, we
anticipated on Prid.4, with the addition that the
85th British Regiment had been employed tip.a the
above service, to conjunction with the squadron.
Accounts from Quebec to the Ist of August state,
that Colonel BISSUOtP, who dstinguishel -himself in
the engagement at the Black Rock, where he was
severely wounded, is since dead. It is likewis: said,
that fifteen boats, which were conveying provisions
to Kingston, had been taken by the• Americans ; and
tl:at an attempt was subsequently made by some Bd•
tish ships of war to retake them, bet without success.
Commodore CLIAUNC:t.I'S squadron sailed from
Sackett's Harbour on the 21th July.
LOW AMELIUS BEAUCLERK, with the ROYAL OAK
and SEAUORSE, arrived in Bantry Bay on the 9th inst.
His Lordship had been as far to the Northward as
Iceland, in search of Commodore Rol:Gees, but with-
out obtaining the least information concerning him.
For the last month of his cruize, he did not meet with a
vessel of any description. RODGERS had not bees seen
or heard of sinee the 23d of July t it is therefore to
be presumed he has steered a course fur one of the
American ports. The ROYAL OAK and SE:MORSE
were to proceed to Plymouth.
