RELIGIOUS FRAuD. monk, native of
America, has been arrested at Madrid, under
rather curious circumstances. He was lately
at Rome, and was sent from that city with a
hull to one of the Bishops of Colombia, whom
Bolivar had proposed to be nominated to the
court of Rome. The monk took charge of the
bull and on his passage through italy to
France, the idea occurred to him that he would
himself personate the Bishop. He Immediately
arrayed himself in the proper costume, and was
received as such in most ofthe towns in France.
through which he passed He offcated sever
al times with the. usual pontifical ceremonies.
From France he went to Spain and on his
arrival at Burgos he held grand confirmation,
at which most Of the principal inhabitants at.
tended and he was treated in every respect as If
ne had been the real bishop. The cheat, how.
ever. was discovered on his arrival at Toledo,
and he was soon after arrested.

PUBLIC EXECUTION. At the execution
OF Jesse Upton, in Greenshorough, IN. ca
on the 9TH ult., for the murder of his wife in
Randolph, great concourse of people at
tended: and, as usual on such occasions.
we presume there was much levity, revealing
and tipping; for man by the name of
Nathaniel Small, was accidentally killed
among the crowd. Thus it frequently turns
out, that the condemned culprit is not the
only person whose life is forfeited, to com
plete the scene of public erecution.

that the prosecution originated from an article
published in the Jackson Republican, in which
Webster was designated as one of the individu.
ais implicated in the accusations of President
Adams against certain leaders of the federal
party in Massachusetts. Among the evidence
offered and admitted, was pamphlet against tho
embargo, which is republished entire in the re-
port. Tothose who feel an interest in the politics
OF the day, we should suppose this report would
present attractions which they would not be
willing TO forego for the money it costs.

In the above sentence, copied from the

casionally. in most of the papers in the country.
We should suppose its improperly would be
palpable at first sight, but if it is not, mo.
ments reflection will shew it. If most.
the superative Of the adverb, is used, the
phrase, "cf all others" is super fluous and i'm.

of one season with others, but declaration fits
