The Paris Journals OF the 9Th, received
this morning, are Possessed of cons d. rab c
| interest. They detail the sentences of the
poor wretches at whose tarsicai trial we
| have been laughing without thought that
ITS termination would b. so tragical. After
de!'berating all Sunday night. the Jury re-
turned their verdict, and the following
sentences were pronounced ON Monday
morning:
Pleignier. Carb mneau and Tollsron, to
be executed with all the dreadful rms,
cutting OF their right hand, Slc. attached
to the crime oFptrrcde.
Charles. Lefrane, Desbaunes, the wo-
man Picard, Dervn. Lehrun, Warren.
and LascauX, ara condemned to depor,a-
ton.
The others to fine, and various periods
ct imprisonment, from to1Oyears among
| the latter. is the BallaG-maker SouRp DON.
This fellow. on receiving his sentence, de-
clared he would write with an iliustrious
Poet,
Re crime .Eiit Ia Aqa:e, ct nan pas rechaElud'
"1Ae crime, and not tie sce.5cta tizn2s dis

1t is positively asserted that thc<King of
Portugal has promised to support the royal
cause at Buenos Ayres and Monte Video
with all army OF Is or is 600 men, which
will, it is added, be very useful in these
provinces, though not wanted in Mexico or
Peru.
A Hamburger mail, which arrived last
| night, takes pains to inform us that the
very best understanding exists between
Russia and Sweden.-Wiat called for this
assurance The sumo authority tells us
that the king of Sweden having sent to
Petershurgh 200 honorary medals to be
distributed to the Russian army, the En-
peror Alexander returned the compliment
I by sending TO the Crown Prince of Sweden
2Oo silver Crosses OF St. George, TO be
given to SO many Swedish soldiers who
have distinguished themselves in war
In our humble opinion, it will greatly
puzzle the Crown Prince to discover the
number entitled to wear the Crosses, thev
are to be taken from the Swedes he com
manded in the last war.
In the course of last week, large pro-
portion OF the Royal Marine Artillery were

be employed in the rocket brigade, under

On the 18th, the heart of the musician
Gretry is to be inaugurated at the hcrmi
tage OF Rousseau -
1t is stated, in letter from the Mediter.
ranean, that Il captain of one OF his males
tvs frigates had, by going on shore, fallen
into the hands of the Algerines, who, with
the most refined cruelty. nailed him to a
cross, making him suffer the most excru-
ciating tortures. Some Turks who were
present, move to pity by his suffering, at
tempted to release him, bu. were shot dead
for their humane Interference. The cap
tain's name is given in the letter which
communicates the intelligence, but we for
bear to mention it, without further corrob-
Grafton of the fact.
We have been informed, upon good au-
thority, that the pecunary difficulties of
Mr.. Sheridan were even greater than is
generally imagined /; and that in order to
relieve them, his royal highness the prince
regent, short tins before MIR. SheriGan's
death, generously sent him two hundred
pounds. The gift, at such a time, must
have been highly valuable, both for the
comforts it Notwithstanding which il is
lamcntable to hear, were cftcn before wan
tng-and for the testimony afforded of the
princes continued regard for this celebra-
ted man.
