BY letters which have been received with
these Gazettes, we learn that the three prin-
cipai promoters Of this conspiracy were pub
iicly executed in Mexico that many others
would soon suffer the same fate, amongst
whom are many ecclesiastics and attornies :
that about 500 persons had been sent to the
castle of San Juan de Ulua, in Vera Cruz, &
hnally, that the greatest tranquility and
peace reigned in Mexico.

While his eXcellency the Nice-roy was ex-
tremeiy chagrined at the occurrence of the
conspiracy plotted in this capital, and On
seeing the vile intentions of a small number
OF tactlous persons, who intended to disturb
the public tranquility the satisfaction and
Joy OF his eXcellency was indispensable in
consequence of the reiterated proofs of love
t his person, and fidelity to our august Sc
verelgn, which he instantly received, both in
writing and by word, from all the tribunals,
ecclesiastical prelates, chiefs, ministers and
private individuals in this populous CITY,
Among those who manifested their senti-
ments III this manner, & these who have dis
tnguished themselves by their ACTIVITY, en-
thusiasm, and sincerity Of their&eelings, were
the commanders of the patriotic battailicns
Of Ferdinand With, as will be seen by their
letters to the Nice-roy, which we insert with
his eXccliency's answer thereto:
Aiost c.rceHent sir,
have in conformity to the su-
pcf1or oroers from your excellency, doubled
the guards OF the regiment under my orders,
and provided 1t with the necessary warlike
instruments-, have stationed seven patroles
IN the different quarters of the CITY, with the
necessary instructions to repress any distur-
bance my camp is completely equipped
with all the troops and officers. Conse-
quently, hope your eXcellency will be at
ease, Tor should it become necessary to place
my men before your palace, no one will dare
approach 1T, particularly if put myself at
then head: which / communicate to your
eXceiiency tor your satisfaction, assuring YOU
that my regiment alone is sufficient to ouell
any disorder. God preserve your eXcellency
many years.

founded on more solid basis for the
captain Of an American ship heard the
captain Of an English ship say that it
would certainly be the case: besides, the
Captain of a New England schooner saw
five or six vessels off Maine. These no
doubt are British ships of the line. In
addition to all this, 1 hear every body
say that war must shortly take place; for
that things cannot long stand as they are
at present. Should it 50 happen, contra

differences will be adjusted; there is an
end to the hopes of fame, and the path to
glory is closed. We will pass the evening
Of our days without being able to tell our

have won.

In Cadiz paper of the 2eth June, we
find the following notice Of the Pope.
s. The public papers announce, that the
holy father has been carried, by order OF

of this occurrence with the assembling OF
the Italian and French Cardinals and

gives occasion to many conjectures."

BURNING OF JUDGE sYMMEs' HOUSE
Some interest has been excited on this
catastrophe, on account of the reputed loss
of property and papers, beside the house,
which were consumed by the destruction
Of the premises.
In the court of common pleas, April
term, 1914. the grand Jury for this county
returned bill against John Hart, ma
gistrate in that neighborhood, for the
said burning, and being charged he was
committed.
The trial in this important case, was
commenced on the 9TH inst. and lasted
till the 10th. Mr.. Glover was the prose-
cutor on behalf of the state, and was as
sisted by Mr.. Burnet, Mr.. Munroe and MIR.
Longworth were Of counsel for the defen-
dant.
About 20 witnesses Con both sides) were
examined, ami arguments OF considera-
BILE length and ability were held; which
together with the evidence, we presume
will be given to the public, as we under
stand the trial is to be reported, when
prepared for the press.
The jury retired on Friday morning to
make a verdict, and returning two or three
times with no verdict and the court send
Alexandria daily gazette, commercial & political. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1808-1812, 1811-09-09

Inc them back to their room as often, ~
verdict could be obtained.
On Saturday morning the jury returnedl
to their box, but without any officer, as
we understand they had broken out Of the
room in which they were, and the oficse
would not again take them into his custa.
DIV. The court refused to recognize them
and after remaining some time in the box,
without the care of an officer or the court,
they dispersed to their respective homes
and the prisoner was remanded back to
his confinement.
