At fix o'clock on Saturday evening, his !dam-
s. v's warrant for the execution of Colonel Deftan4
and fix of his affociates, and alto an order from
Lord PILHAM, for the refpite of dm three others
under fentence of death, reached the New Gaol in
the Borough. As the warrant contains wremiffion
of part of the fentence of thofe who were executed
this morning, and may not be uninterelting,. we
have here given an extra& from it :

At eight o'clock yefterday morning Colonel
Defpard and his fellow prifoners were fent for by
Mr. Ives to attend the Chapel. They all cheer.
fully obeyed the fummons except Colonel Defpard,
and Macnamara ; the former aligned no reafon
for his refufal, but the latter raid he was a Roman
Catholic, and it would not be coufiflent with his
faith.

The Reverend Mr. Wircaworrn read prayers,
after which he delivered a very impreffive fermon,
extremely applicable to the fituation of the pri-
foners. The text was taken from the eighteenth
chapter of St. Luke and the thirteenth verfe, GOD
be merciful to me a (inner I" The unhappy men
joined in prayer with great devotion ; and the im.
prellion made by the fermon was indicative of true
fortitude, contrition for their crimes, and fincere
repentance.
There were few vifitors at the Chapel.

At this time none of the prifoners were apprifed
of the warrant for their execution being received.
It was thought bell to reserve the unhappy tidings
till their minds had been fortified by the Chaplain's
difcourfe, which had the defired effeft, for when
they heard the fatal information, they teemed an
thoroughly prepared to meet it.
Colonel Defpard teemed more furprifed than af-
feEted.—He was a little (larded, and complained
that the time was ihort. The wives and relatives
of the prifoners were permitted to flay with them
the greaten part of the day. Mrs. Defpard has been
in a Rate of mind which, to minds of fenfibility,
it is unneceffary and impollible to defcribe. It was
lilcewife a fpeftacle highly affefting to witnefs the
grief and defpair of the relations of the other pri-
foners when it was known that the fentence of the
law was to be executed. Nothing could be more
dinrelfing than their farewel on quitting the prifon
By day-light, yenerday, Mr. Ives had a proper
number of perfons employed on the top of the New
Gaol, to ereft a platform, and as the morning ad.
vanced, the neighbourhood of Horfemonger-lane
began to be crowded by the populace, to fee the
fcaffolding completed. Towards the middle of the 1
day, the afternoon and evening, the concourfe of
people was uncommonly great, aftuated by motives
of curiofity, and that anxiety which the novelty of
the fituation of the prifoners, and their expefted
fate naturally produced.—Sir R. VOID, with a groat
number of conflables, attended, but no fmptoms of
riot or confufion appeared.
About twenty minutes before nine o'clock this
morning, Col. Drfpard, Tbataat Brattzkaajah• Fran.
tit, Arthur Graham, 7olm Manuanara," Jabs
and jaw: SelguvidE Wrattaa, were brought upon the
roof of the gateway of the prifon.
They afcended the Reps in fucceffion, the fecond
after the rope was placed on the neck of the Erik

the third when the fecond had the rope atijulled,
fro. The firft who wasted was Graham. He
(poke for Tome time ;but we were not near enough
to hear him. The next was Broughton, a tall,
fine looking fellow—he did not fpeak. Then
came Macnamara, Wrattan, Wood, and Francis,
none of whom (poke, and lafly Col. Delpatd,
who. addreffed the populace for tome time ; but
the prds and confulion wail° great, that it was
impoffibie for nu but thole who were on the
platform betide him to hear a tingle word.
The prilhners all, except Macnamara, prayid
with Mr. WIPICKWORTH, the Chaplain of the pri-
fon : Macnamara being a Roman Catholic, was
attended by a Clergyman of that perfuation.
As !non as the clock (truck nine, part of the plat.
form fell, and they were left fufpended for about
25 minutes, after which the body of Colonel Def.
pard was carried to a block. where his head was
fevered from the trunk. The executioner then
chewed it from the.ittripet of three fides of the
prifon, at each of which he laid, " This is the
bead of Marcus Defpard, a traitor."
The others wer; then cut down in fucceffou,
and their heads taken off and !hewn to the pop:.
lace in the fame manner.

AU the asenues.ne ar the place, the Rable-yatch,
the roofs-of the houfes... and the adjoining &Lis
and eminences Were crowded with people to witnefs
the execution.

All the Bow ftreet patrole, ■nd many other
peace officers, were on duty all laft night and this
morning, and the military near London were
drawn dole to it. .The regiment of cavalry from
Croydon wqre in the neighbourhood of Southwark.
The Guards were under arms in the Tower, at
Knightfbridge, &c. and the Horfe Guards were
Rationed at Horfemonger-lane, around the prifon,
and along the chief roads in St. George's fiel.l,,
while the Bow-ftreet patrole, mixing among the
crowd, paraded round the neighbourhood. All
thefe precautions were proper, but there was not
the leaft oecafion for them : the execution took
place with pedal tranquillity ; the populace hav-
ing conflated themfelves in as orderly a manner
as could be expelled, where fuch an immenfe
croud was affembled.
