The number of females on this occasion
was immense; they. at least formed two
thirds of the multitude, and evidently took
the greatest interest in the whole affair: they
apparently considered it as a fete, and en-
loved it accordingly. Their dress, more
over. bespoke them as to belong, if not to
the upper classes, at least TO the middle
rank of society; certainly the lower orders
did not predominate. Foltaire's assertion,
tbat the French were a compound Of the
tyqer and monkey, was never more forci-
DIV illustrated than IN the conduct Of these
females on such an occasion. As the cart
passed to the place Of execution, they as
sailed the son with every epithet Of yltuPe-
ration afforded them by coPiOus yOcabu-
larry. His features, distorted with terror,
and his hands, compressed with agony,
were subjects of rIdicule; and their savage
remarks ceased only when the unit Of his
life chad been Withdrawn from the sum of
human existence" The unyielding demea-
ner of his guilty mother was, on the other
hand, received with marked appreciation;
and, as she occasionally with conyulsive
features. and arms uplifted IN the wild par
oxysm of insanity, turned round to reyile
the craven terror of her offspring, the ap-
plause from those of her own sex was re
doubled, and repeated at every frantic ges-
.mre of the exulting demOniac. / again as
sert, that this want of feeling was not seen
In the lower orders exclusively; and that It
is not confined to the lower orders alone, Is
proved by an anecdote told by Morris, in
his views of modern France. He asked,a
lady IN Paris, who was under twenty years
of ace, and the mother of three children,
what made her so Indifferent to them, and
unmoyed by the adversely under which she
was labouringl She replied, without hesl-
alton that she attributed It to the many
scenes of horror which she had witnessed
In Paris during the revolution, which had
steeled her heart against the finer feelings,
and rendered her proof against poverty,
misery and distress. She added, that
when q child, she was often promised as a
reward for good behaviour to 90 and see the
victims ofpolitical fury guillotned, and had
often witnessed the execution Of seventy or
eighty In the short space Of an hour; the
young and old scrambling for places to see
well, as ifthey had been at play. She also
observed, that to see two or three cart loads
Of dead perfectly naked bodies 90 by her
window In the course Of a morning was
very usual.

VERY LATE FROM EUROPE.

HIGHLY INTEREsTING-wAR PROCLAIMED.
Postcripts to the New York afternoon
papers of Friday announce that the packet
ship William Thompson has arrived at
New York from Liverpool, bringing adj
vices up to the date of her sailing. From
the following extracts made from the Lon
don Observer Of the 10Th it will be seen that
the question, of war or peace in Europe,
is no longer doubtful-but that Russia has
issued her declaration against Turkey.
"LONDON, Sunday, March 18Th
On Tuesday night the Russian Ambassa-
dor received dispatches from his court,
containing the Emperor's declaration Of
war against Turkey, and which was I'M
mediately communicated by his Excellen-
cy to the Duke of Wellington and to the
Earl of Dudley, who sent intelligence oil
the event to his Majesty. The Emperor
justifes the declaration of War on the
ground of Turkeys having violated the
treaty Of Alderman, and upon that of hel
having excited the Persians to their recent
hoshhteS. To these are added, the clos
ing of the BosPhOrus against the trade o.
Odessa.
sit is supposed that the Russians have
already crossed the Pruth, though the
French papers pretend to believe that they

G-THEATRE.-Our Theatre will be opened
ior the season, this evening, with "The Won-
der Woman Keeps secret" and tho
farce of tho "Young WidoW." The com
Pany now engaged at our Theatre, is without
doubt the strongest which has visited us for
several years. The Managers, Mcssrs. YoUNa
and ARCHER, will bring forward in tho course
Of the season, all the principal performers in
the country, among whom we may expect Mr..
FORREST, Mr.. HAMBLIN, Mr.. COOPER, and
Miss CLARA FISHER, Miss Rock, the Dan
GERS, &c. sc.
We hope the proprietors will put tho Thea
ire in decent order for the accommodation OF
the company engaged, and the audience. 1t
is particularly necessary to have the stage suf-
fciontly strong to relieve tho actors from the
apprehension Of falling through and breaking
their nscks, during the performances. We
would suggest the propiiety of having the seats
Of the boxes mendod, or new ones substituted
also, TO have the hinges to the doors, which
have been broken, replaced by new ones; new
latchos, &c. &c. A few hundred dollars
would put the house in good order and add
much TO its responsibility.

PROVIDENCE, WEDNESDAY. JUNE IS
MR.. burgess SPEECH.

We publish TO day, the remarks Of Mr..
Burgess, at the Dinner in Pawtuckct. They
are in the happiest style Of that gentleman,
and will be perused with pleasure. We are
pleased that no has presented the pubic with
his views, as to the result OF the coming elec-
,ion Of President, though his doing so will
probably call forth the usual abuse aud nvec-
tive Of the opposition prints. The time for tho
decision Of that question draws near, and the
people have right to expect from their repre-
sentatves, such views and explanations on the
subject as their situation enables them to fur
nish. This address contains, besides. a clear
and satisfactory statement Of tho general poll
cy Of the administration. as expressed in its
leading measures.
The compliment paid by Mr.. Burgess to Mr..
KNIGHT. and the other gentlemen composing
the Rhode. Island delegation, displays a mag
nanmty which is worthy Of all praise it j, a
we'll deserved tribute TO tho talents Of those
gentlemen.

EXETER BANK RoBBED.--We copy the
following, from the Boston Gazette Of yesteS.
day:
ave learn by gentleman from Exeter, that
the bank in that town was robbed, between
Saturday night and yesterday morning, Of bills
and specie to the amount Of tacenfy. fve o.
thirty thousand dOliays--about 500 in specie,
the remainder bills, principally los and 20's.
The bank and the vault we're entered by falss
keys; but the iron chest containing the money
was broken open by a crowbar, apocket-book,
containing the name Of an individual known in
Exeter, was left on the counter by the robbers,
which circumstance, it is thought, may lead to
their detection. Messengers have been de-
spatched in every direction; and the public are
called upon to exercise little caution and vigi-
lence This is the most extensive robbery that
has occurred in this section Of the country for
many years"

GJ-.Army DiGcuitics.-We regret to see
an officer, who has rendered 10 many impor-
tant services to the country as Gea ScoTr,
adopt such an unwise and imprudent course Of
conduct. as it appears nc has done. If the ap-
pointment Of Gen. MAcoMB, as Ma jor General,
was unsatisfactory to him, he could resign and
leave the army; but to refuse to obey an off,
Ger holding Major Generals commission,
signed by the Secretary Of War, and sanction
ed by the President and Sonato, shove a want
Of discrcton.and the people will not justify him
in his course Of conduct. The facts Of the
case we believe to be as follows Gen. Scott,
few days since, wrote to tho acting Secretary
Of War. insisting upon the arrest Of Major Gen.
Macomb, for issuing orders 10 him; or in case
the President should decline this measure, Gen.
s. insisted on being arrested himself, and re-
quested that tho Court Martial to be detailed
should be selected by ballot from thirty OFF,
GERS to be des gnated by the Executive, for
that purpose Gen. S. Of course, reserving his
right Of challcngc-andt that a highly respect
able " Judge Advocate should be designated
TO conduct the trial. The letter 10 tho acting
Secretary was written in tho most respectful
terms, and in language showing that he honest
ly believes that Gen. Macomb has no right to
command him. To this request, as We are
informed, an answer was returned, reminding
Gen. S. that he is now on furlough, and di-
recting that as soon as that expired, he shall
proceed to his post at the West; and informing
him that if he does not thinklproper to resume
his command, and submit TO the orders from
the department, the United States would have
no further need Of his services.
We learn, by the Commercial Advertiser,
that Generals Scott and Macomo have hhcr-
10 been on the best terms Of friendship. Both
have done much for their country, and it is TO
be regretted that any difficulty should have
occurred. Mr.. Adams and his Cabinet, after
the most mature deliberation, decided that
neither Scott or Gaines were entitled to the ap-
pointmcnt; but that it belonged according TO
rank, 20 Macomb. Gaines is perfectly salts
fed, or at least, does not refuse TO obey the
orders Of the row Major General The result
will probably be. that Scott will loavo the
army.

NEW-HAMPSHIR T..

A large and respectable meeting Of the
friends o: tho Administration was held in Con-
cord on Thursday last, for the purpose Of NOM
mating Electors Of President and Vice Presi-
dent. The meeting was addressed by the Hon.
IcHApoD BARTLETT and the Hon. THOMAS
WHIPPLr, members Of Congress. A. list of
Electors was agreed upon, consisting of eight
of the most influential gentlemen in the State.
The Jackson faction held a meeting on
Wednesday, for the same purpose and nomi-
mated an Electoral Ticket. members Of Con-
gross and Governor. Gov. Plefce was nomi-
mated for Governor, and has consented to stand
as candidate. This effort on part of the en-
thusiasts, to keep up an excitement, is done for
effect and that only. Mr.. Hill has become
desperate at his recent defeats, and is deter
minod to keep up an excitement in the State.
thinking it will have q good effect in those
States, which are nearly equally balanced; but
he is most sadly mistaken. Tho people of
the State Of New Hampshire, are too well
known throughout the United States. for their
intelligence, Independence and honest intcn-
tions, for any reasonable man to suppose,
they will for moment desert the cause Of Mr..
Adams-the cause which is the cause Of the
country-on whose election depends the fu-
turo greatness and happiness Of this republic.
The time was, when ISAAC HILL possessed
an influence over tho minds Of the people Of
New Hampshire; but his sun mas now set TO
rise no more. The government of the nation
and of his native State, for years lavished on
him the pup uf tho Treasury, with hopntifnl
hand. and would have continued TO do so
until this day, had not Mr.. Hill in an i'll
fated hour, pledged himself to oppose the will
ofthe people, for the purpose of assisting the
faction, which a this moment distracts the
Union. AS soon as it became known that he
was willing to sacrifice the best interests Of his
country, to subsorve party views, the people
deserted him, stripped him Of the honors OF
office, and tho emolumcnts which were at
tached to his establishment, and dismissed
him as an unworthy servant.

THE PRESIDENCY

At no timo since the commend ement Of
the contest for tho Presidency, have tho
prospects Of Mr.. Adams been SO cheering, as
at the present moment. Intelligence from all
quarters bring abundant proof, that the people
arc awakened to a sense Of their duty to our
common country. Thoy are aroused and de-
termincd to act and show to the world, that
they are not lost 10 all sense Of decency and
lovo OF country.
General Jackson cannot be elected, and
his warmcst partizans are already convinced,
that the hopes which they once entertained Of
his success, have vanished. Tho temporary
excitement which was raised by artful men,
has subsidized. and reason has been restored ,
and the ca use Of the people will triumph.
Electoral Tickets have already been agroe j
upon in nearly all the states, by the advocates
Of the Administration and wo cannot but hope
that our friends in this State, will call q meet
ing during the session Of tho Assembly at New
port, ,and present the names Of gentlemen, (who
will unite tho feelings and interest Of the whole
State for Electors. All the other States OF
N England have already adopted this course,
and we sec no reason why it should be deferred
IN Rhode Island till a later period.
