CORoNER'S REPORTS.

CORONER'S REPORTS.
Yesterday the Coroner held inquests on
the following Cases:
Susan Baldwin girl about eighteen years
old, suicide by laudanum, the evening before,
in Second-street.
Eleanor Jackson. killed by blow with a
hammer, above the left year, by Jacob
Badegley. s[
Jacob Badgeley, suicide by cutting his
throat with razor.
ltappears that BaGgeley, who was ma
son. was under the influence Of nsoxication
and insanity, aud performed the dreadful
tragedy in the house of Mrs. Laforge, in
Hescer. STREET.-THE struck Mrs. jackson
the blow with a stone hammer, then made
a stroke at ,Catharine Mitchell but Mrs.
jackson falling dead between the witness
and Badgeley, he missed his aim, and then
turned upon Elizabeth Jackson, mother lin :.
law to Eleanor, and brought her to the
hoor with a single blow on the head.-I,
seems that he then took razor, cut his
own throat with it, and laid it OH the man
,tlepiece. Physicians were Immediately cal.
led aud attempted to save the two last, but
on examining the cut of Badgeley, the blood
started fresh, and he soon expired. Eli
zabeth jackson is still living, several pie
ces of the skull having been extracted,
and scarcely hope of her recovery re
mains. The floor of the little room in which
this dreadful work was executed ran with
blood; and the Coroner's inquest could not
enter it without drenching their. shoes in it.
The spectacle was shocking almost beyond
description.
g Captain Wing says, that on the day Of
his departure from Corunna, gentleman
informed him, that the news did not ther
appear so agreeable as at first reported. $

From the Natchez( DEM Weekly Chronicle

We call the particular attention of our
readers to the dispatches from gen. Ann
strong, our minister in Paris, and the re-
marks thereon, from the National Inttlli-
eencer, published in this days Chronicle.
We are happy to find tina, the eyes of the
nation are at length opened to the injuries
and insults OF that perfdieus government.
So great have been the wrongs and aggres
sions of England towards this country, that,
the public mind has been so occupied with
them thar it was difficult at first to perceive
the deep rooted hatred and unprecedented
injustice of France. But the letter of the
due de Cadore will remove the film from the
eyes of every honest hearted American
and the apologists of France ought to be
placed in the same rank with British hire
hrgs. For ourselves, zoe see no distinction
between French and English ToR1Es-they
are al:ke.enemes to the prosperity and in
dependence OF the United States. There
is less apology for Americans becoming the
apoloests of France than OF England; be-
cause the French party in the q. States is
much stronger than the English party. We
cannot think SO basely of native born Anne
ricans, as to believe there would be many
traitors amongst them. But it is iacttoo
notorious to be questioned that our country
swarns with British and French emissaries
land it is fact equally notorious that
,hree-fourths of the population Of the Or
leans Territory would flock to the imperial
standard, the moment it could be planted
within It's limits. The fact ought not to be
concealed from the people they ought: to
know where danger turks. We know per.
sonally many of the leading characters in
/ Orleans-and we know they are enemiesto
the United States, and devoted TO France.
Should The existing differences with that
power continue, and threaten rupture, we
will feel no dehcaoy in giving the names of
the partizans of Napoleon to the, public.
