EXECUTION OF PIRATES. On FRI
day, l7th instant, the three Spaniards, convic-
ted of Piracy, on board the brig Crawford Of
this port, were executed according to the SEN
tcnce of the law, at Richmond, Virginia. They
were attended to the gallows, by Roman
Catholic Priest, several clcrgymen ofthe differ
cnt denominations, and by DR.. Lcmoay, as in
terpretcr. On ascending the scaffold, the in
tcrpretcr addressed the multitude, (Which was
very large) at the request ofthc prisoners, who
confessed that they were not only guilty of the
crimes for which they were condemned, and
now about to suffer punishment, but of many
other crimes; that they begged pardon of the
public, and asked them to join in their last
prayer, which they were now about to address
that their punishment was just. but still they
hoped that their miserable bodies, after hav-
ing been once inferred, might be permitted to
remain undisturbed in the grave, and as that
was the last and the only request they could
address to human beings, they hoped it would
be granted. Their request, they were inform
ed, would be complied with The prisoners
then declared themselves ready to suffer the
punishment. After an address to the populace
by the Rev. Mr.. Kerr, the cord was adjusted,
and the signal given, and the trapfall was re-
moved, the cords by which Pepe and Courro
were suspended, gave way, and the mfortu-
nate wretches were preciptated to the ground.
The horror, which this occurrence occasoned,
caused rush among the crowd, and press
which was nearly fatal to few persons
The accident was Immediately repaired by
the officers, and they were again suspended
and almost Immediately expired.

THE Circus, will be opened on Monday
evening next, with an attractive performance,
as will be seen BY the advertisements and bills
Of the day. The company, as We understand,
will remain with us, till after Commencement,
and then proceed to the city of Now-York.
During the festivities Of ofCommcncemcnt week ,
We think that citizens and strangers, will find
themselves agrceably entertained, with the
equestrian performances, 1.-The establishment will
afford. The company is a strong one; and has
claims on the patronage Of liberia; community,
which will not be denied. We believe that this
is the only public place Of amusement, that will.
be opened during the Commencement week
with the exception ofthe Museum Its prob
able however, that we shall have mengAr,e
of wild beasts among US, wax figures, hand Or
gans, fddlers and jewsharp amateurs. But be-
yond every thing else, tho Circus will be the
point Of fashionable resort and attraction.

though, in consequence Of an error, committed
by the gentleman who had the management Of

BaIrIsa CLAIss.-England has always
been Notorious for the claims she makes
20 every thing that 10 excellent; and the mo-
tnent that one Of our countrymen become emi-
nent. she sets up a claim to him. and even has
had the impudcnee to claim wAsHINGroN as
on Englishman by birth. A late number Of the
John Bull newspaper. printed in London. con-
toins the following direct claim on all the Of
6cers and crew of the North Carolina line Of
Battle Ship.
"The North Carolina. Of ITO guns. Amori-
can ship. commanded by Commodore Rogers,

hundred ond ten Gun ship. is simply seventy
four: but as superior sailing, elegance Of arch

misstioa Of VII who have bsheld her. John

ship for the present. contents himself with set
ting up claim to the crew; who he says, are
ell Englisbmen!
II is not unlikely. that there arc some Eng
ishmen on board of the North Carolina; in
deed il is most likely that the ships company
is made up Of ell nations, yet most ofthem. we
are certain, ore Americans; and those who are
not native born citizens Of the United States,

succcss came too soon, and at the moment
when every thing wore promising aspect, he
began to indulge in innocent dissipation Con-
vivial meetings were hold, at which he attend
ed; the glass and pleasure at last took the
place Of INDUSTRY aud business; and he who
once stood on so enviable a. eminence, in u
little period. found himself confirmed bibber;
"A devotee at the shrine Of Bacchus.
His practice had now realized Q mortifyins

being ardent in his temperament. naughty and
uncompromising, when he had to contend with
adversely, in the last year Of the second war,
he obtained commission in the army, and
thus. amid the hustle. pomp aud pageantry Of
the camp, sought that oblivion for his lacerated
pride. which the civil world had denied him.
On the roturn Of peace. and after having served
bis country with fidelity. and fought her bat
ties, he returned TO the civil walks Of life. and
once more resumed tho labors Of his original
profession. But the seeds Of dissipation had
been too deeply sown;-he could not escape
the contagion. and At last. debased, degraded,
and wrctchod. amid the most agonizing pains,
and the horrors Of an accusing conscience, he
descended to the grave. unismented by tho
vered and distrac cted brain "heaved like the
troubled bosom Of Etna's awful Mount" he
imp!ored the moledictions and the impreca-
tions Of tho everlasting Jehovah.
We saw him as he lay on his bed Of torture; !;
and whilst his troubled spirit struggled for de-
liverance from this earthly tabernacle, and to
divest itself Of bondage. loa,hing and loathed,
the most piercing cries that mortal ever ut
tered, broke from his lips, and in his last gasp,
frantic. and with on eye rowing with the wild
ness and fury Of u demon, he eJaculated curses
upon the day that dawned upon his fate. and
prayed for the vengeance Of an indignant God
to rest upon those, who first led him into temp

and Joys in heaven" and whilst thus madly
he raved, the ministering angel Of mercy, ex-
tinguishcd the lamp Of life. and the last unit Of
him, who was born 70 the rich inheritance Of
wealth. happiness and honor, was lost forever.
Thus, by an unfortunate indulgence, in the

EccENTRIcITY,r-There is a deal said in
this world about the eeeentrieity of mortafs:
and if we but look carefully over the lives OF
those, who have been famed for their oddity,
we will find, that in nine cases out of ten, &C.
centrfcity. is rather affected than real. A
young man of the name of Washington. ma,
tive American, and, as we believe, a graduate
of Yale College, some two or three years ago,
abjnred his native country, and saterod tha
service of Greece. He was chvalrous, brave,
and ambitious; and few months before his
demise, published a manifesto Of his abjura-
ton, and ayowed his hostility towards his ma
tive country. The last scenes Of his Life, nre
reported below, by writer, and correspond
ent, whose letter was originally published in
the Middletown, Connecticut, Sentinel.
"Mr. Washington, who arrived at NapoIf
from France, since we left there, was MORALLY
wounded by shot from the Pallimedos, (the
castle) while defending battery, the CON-
mand of which had been assigned him by Trip
penalty. lie was taken on board the Asia
and died soon after. The shot which struck
him took Off his right hand, and carried away
part Of his hip-bone. He was asked by the
officers of the Asia. a short time before his
death, II lie had any message or legacy he
wished TO leave; he replied in few moments,
he had one-his curses upon his country!-
The name he bore is the common property Of
every American; it is by them beloved and
honored; who could have believed it would
ever have been disgra ced by death-bed curse,
upon that country which gave it birth, and
under such circumstances, among strangers,
and on board an English man-of-war."
REMARKS. There was something in the
history Of this misguided young man, equally
singular and offensive. For reasons known to
himself, some four or FIVE years ago, he Quilted
tho naval service of the United States, and
from professed feeling of patriotism, entered
tho service of Grcoce, and recently ubjurcd
his native country, and avowcd his utter deies-
tation Of all tina: bore the least affinity to-
America. If we mistake not, lie was natiyo
Of Virginia, and relative of tho ilustrious.
Washingt gton, the father Of the country. II ia.
not unlikely, that the madness and folly,
which he evincod in his last hours, was rro--
duccd ~ the workings of fevercd brains
the unnatural action of an expiring man..
lac. But poor fellow, ho ia dead, and let
tho grave hide in ohscurity his errors and his
folos, and let his memory bo forgotten by
all, who revere the name os WAsHINa-
TON.
