, Expected Execution Of Pirates in Cuba.
The Spaniards have lately taken thir-
teen Pirates, and have them confined at
Trinidad de Cuba. They are said to
have confessed the commission Of several
murders. Nothing would tend more ef.
ttctually to the suppression Of piracy
and to benefit the charactar Of that island,
than the execution of these men, if really
guilty, as is presumed.

THE TREAD MILL.

A variety of documents have been pub
lished in London to show the tendency of
this engine Of punishment to destroy the
health of those who are employed upon it,
and to unfit them for future labour. 1t is
said that while the labourer is employed
on this machine, the abdominal muscles
are kept in constant action, and the exten
sor muscles Of the back always on a

and the due eration of the blood. The

MOST IMPORTANT NEWS.


The following political intelligence has just
been received from the Peninsula. The public
|wll see that il amply deserves the character We
jhave given it at the head of this article 1t may
Ibe relied upon as the latest and most authentic
Intelligence from Csdiz and Madrid.
| When the Duke d'Angouleme left Madrid for
Seville, it was for the purpose Of making every
effort to bring the contest, il possible, to termi
nation, by sounding the views Of the Cortes, and
ascertaining whether negotiation could not be
entered into upon such grounds as might allow
France to withdraw her troops from the Spanish
Territory, without compromising the principles
upon which she had undertaken the war. The
lesirc OF France to terminate the contest was
further increased by the blind and infatuated con-
duct which had been adopted by the Regency at
Madrid, tending to aggravate rather than ailay
and calm the differences between the Royalists
land the Constitutionalsts.
1t was at first thought that the fall Of CadlS
would reduce the Cortez to the necessity OF sub
Imission,but the violent party continue to perse'
we're in determined resistance, and the speedy
surrender of that remaining strong hold is not
to be expected. Nay, to such lengths have the
violent party carried their opposition to the views
of the Royalists and the French, that they have
openly declared they will sacrifice the lives OF
Ferdinand and the Royal Family rather than sub
nit. Yet some correspondence has actually "a

On Saturday morning between two and three
O'Clock, an unhappy man, styling himself J. Roult
De Mombray, Public Accuser from 1909 to 1915
at the court Of Caen in France, put All end to his
existence in a singular manner
| Mr.. lie Mombray's mind had been for some
years pas, haunted by many imaginary foes. lie
was the special object Of vengeance with the
French government, whose displeasure he fan.
cied he had incurred by his political opinions and
by exposing the abuses OF men in authority. The
lemissaries of France, seemed to have little to do
but to work his destruction They had poisoned
all the wells in his neighbourhood, and when Mr.
DE Mombray wanted drink Of water, he was
obliged to go from his own house in Ninth street
near Lombard, as far perhaps as the Northern
Liberties. Sometimes he took boat, and from
the middle of the Delaware obtained the neces.
lsary supply Of pure water. II was equally diff
lcult for him to obtain wholesome loaf of bread
In vain was it that MIR DE Mombray published
advertisement after ae srtscmcnt, Offering ,rge
rewards for the discover and prosecution to
conviction Of those persons WHO were plotting
against his life. In vain it that he appealed
tor assistance to his brother masons, among whom
he had been for ten years past master. The
humber OF his enemies increased rather than
diminished and some of our newspaper editors
fell under suspicion for refusing to publish hi.
advertisements, though he was convinced tha,
the reluctance Of others to insert them, aros,
1 from dread that they also would be poisoned
if they exposed the designs of the French ennis
Isaries.
He dwelt alone. not daring to trust another per
son in the house with him, and under continua
dread Of attacks ON his life. 1t was this state OIL
mind, which made him look upon almost ever,
man as his enemy, which, probably, led him OF
flthat morning to put an end to his terrestrial suf
