 The frte Of Mrs. AlstOm.-Our readers may remember that within few MOOths. narra- tive was published in the Mobile Commercial Register. purpOrting to be the dying cOnies' sion of a man who had resided near that city, and OO give the particulars of the murder Ot that accomplished lady, whose fate has s0 long been envslOped iu mystery. The story was positively cOntradicted by the Alabama Journal, and also by some northern papers; and this contradiction has elicited statement from the physician who attended the dying man, which leaves no doubt as to the fact that such a confession was made; aud thiss taken in connection with another fact mentioned ny the physician, namely, that a corresponding account has twice before been given ny lnd'. viduals who, in their last moments, declared themselves to have been present and actors 'n the dreadful scene--One at Norfolk. many years ago, and the other in South Alabama affords strong reason to believe that the truth is at length disclosed. The following is the statement of the physician :-Com. Aduertiser.
 The pirate who died, aud the facts of whose case came into my possession, was by the name of Foster. He was without family. and kept grog shop. He was tacitOrn and silent in his disposition. He for some time before his death grew gradually more incorporate.
 He often spoke of being sailor, of having been much at sea, or as the phrase goes, Of having seen much service" He fell sick. and was confined for some time. His brain appeared disordered, and his mind at times haunted by strange impressions. He, on his death bed, confessed to a very worthy and respectable gentleman who stood by him, that he had been pirate. and belonged to pirat. ical crew, who took the vessel in which Mrs.
 Aston had embarked. That after the crew and passengers ofthe captured vessel were all dispatched, she alone remained to be disposed of. Each man expressed an unwilingness to
 become her execu,ioner. They finally drew lots, to see whose duty it should be to des.
 troy her: that it unfortunately fell upon him. Upon learning her fate, she begged strongly and pathetically for her life; she entreated them to spare her. She told them she was Mrs. Alston, the daughter of Aaron Burr. who had been Vice President of the United States, and that he was awaiting her in New-York,
 where she was going on to join him, and to
 console him in his adversity-that he made h~~. I. ek hn not avert, she Rnally did. with great Rrinnesi and composure !!! He was an illiterate man and had probably never read any thing on thu 1 subject. ''s'sf

An event has recently occurred in this, which has pro. dnced some indignant feeling in this commu- n'ty. and has induced the whole sisterhood, with the priest, to abandon the buildings, at least tor time. The facts understand were these. A gentleman, residing at. the .East, had . daughter in the nunnery to be educated. with the exception that she was to visit him occasionally. Much time elaps- co, no visit was made, and not being able to get any satisfactory information respecting nls daughter. he came to the nunnery to see her. The lady superior told him she was not at home he insisted on knowing where enc was. and was finally told that she was SICK tn bed. and could not be seen he de- manded sight of her in spirit which the lady superior thought it imprudeDt to attempt 70 resist ; and being shown to her room, be. mold, there was his once healthy, and prom lslng daughter, WITH AN INFANT, instead oF a" 2. education to render her useful and happy through life.
