are really painful. The following are the pariic-
ulars which are given US. The prisoner had been
placed as usual in chamber where is table with
a cruci6x. II was there he passed the time pre-
cedIng his execution, to which he was conducted
or rather dragged on hurdle drawn by an ass. 1t
was with the greatest difficulty he assembled the
ladder TO the very lofty gibbet that had been erect
ed, SO Ill was he in consequence ofthe letters which
had been put on him since his arrest. He died
with great resignation and courage; as soon as the
executloner made signal that he was dead, cries
and huzzas arose from all quarters, even from the
balconies, IN which were priests and monies. The
public tranquility was not interrupted for mo-
ment, thanks to the precautions taken by the French
General, who caused numerous detschments to pa
troll the streets, as a crowd OF persons observed
who appeared 10 have arms concealed under their
cloaks, and who would have taken advantage of the

French are very angry at the ordinance which sup
