the Justice ofhis sentence, and his great con-
triton, and the decent department of all
classes of people, through whom he passed,
from the prison to the place of execution
made .he scene truly solemn and awful
The arrangement made by the governor
on the execution, entities him to high ere
dit as it not only insured safety to The PEG
pie, but tranquility 20 the city, No, an i'm
sui was offered 20 the prisoner. and his con
duct was such as to draw down the pity of
all who saw him on his route to the place
from whence lie took his leave of the world.
There are a number, of his associates now
in the u States. and three or four of them
hourly expected here, who will on their ar
rival share a similar fate. The ssizure of
this deluded young man and his papers has
completely developed the plans of tAe trai

Maketh known to all the inhabitants of
this city--I'hat having substan5iated and
determined the case OF Manuel Rodriguez
Almanny Pena, with the appreciation of the
Judge Advocate Don Joseph Aptouio Ramos
and two other learned doctors of law of my
full confidence, he has been sentenced to sui
fer the highest punishment for having been
guilty of high treason, and as an e.nissary of
Joseph Bonaparte, who came Instructed TO
dissolve the ties which unite us with the lie
gitimatc government of Spain and to pro.
mote discord ard division IN your peaceable
countries, with view that the Americans
forgetting that loyalty which has always
characterised them, should acknowledge
and obey the intruded king.
Tie judges have designated the day and
hour on which this ILL advised young man
is 20 expiate his crime and temerity on the
gallows, which will be on to morrow morning
(Monday) at 7 o'clock.
But CT zens of HAVANA, justice is not
incompatible with compassion and urbani
ty -Tbose virtues shine pre- eminently
in your hearts,. Let not your anxious de-
sires for expiation, coRfouhd nor suifocate
your sentiments of hum anty. Abhor the
crime bur ply the criminal. This maxim
siloud be strictly observed on the day of
execution. A peaceable and well disposed
corcolrse will tend 70 make the act more
y. thetic and terrible. Confusion, unneces
sary aud improper noise, illlbeTal epithets
or uBcivli actions, are unbecoming worthy
citizens, and mus always produce melan-
choly consequences. On the contrary, de-.
Ceucy aud good order are the inseparable
companions OF noble souls
Win abundant reason fatter myself from
the docility OF your dispositions, that during
