BoyINGroN, TIE MURDERER. The Mo-

he was firmly persuaded that he would
not be executed, and that he enter
tertained belief that if it came TO the
worst, lie could save himself by contriv-
ing to exhaust the time until the last
minute ofthe hour appointed for his exc
cution had passed, and then he could not
be executed, and his life would be safe.
1t was 10 this end that he prepared the
long written address to the spectators.
lie was permitted to proceed with it I'M
Ill the hour of four had nearly arived.-
He vas then informed Of the necessity of
closing, and directed to prepare for the
final scene. His whole soul steeled and
nerved, as it had been up to that minute,
covered and sunk al once into abIect
desperation.
A more sudden and fearful transition,
says the Register, cannot well be imagin-
ed. When his abrupt and and eager in
quiries Of the attending ministers of re-
Iigion-is there no hope :-must die p

the dreadful certainty Overwhelmed him
His nerves were shattered, the blood
forsook his cheeks, and despair was writ

AS wild chance for life, he dashed from
the foot of the scaffold, in the frantic
hope Of escape among tho crowd. This
futile effort WIS easily defeated. lie
was seized and reconducted to the place
Of execution. Then cnsucd scene of
horror which finds no parallel in the ex-
ecuton Of the laws. The hopeless sgo-
ny OF the criminal was displayed in obs,i-
nate resistance to the performance Of the
necessary duties Of tho agents Of the law
and even when at last suspended from the
fatal cord, his desperate ciirsHg to the
life he had forfeited, was shown by strug-
giles to free hts arms from the piniCns, and

not geenerally known that the payment

ing, offering in payment, or receiving

Ministers, It Is said fGl!owed the advics
Of the two forming the minority, rather
than Of the many respectable names form
ing the minority.
Founded on this, those in opposition to
the measure will propose the following a.
mendment
That the twenty-five mill ions be paid
out Of respect to the United States, whose
Government was msled by the express
sions of the French Government to be-
ieve that France had acknowledged the
debt, and was already bound to pay it
that the payment should he made in vr-
tue of the treaty Of 1881. A conse-
quence of this motion being carried would
be, that the interest, amounting TO nearly
three millions of francs, due since the
date of the rattle cation, would be thrown
overheard.
If all the Tiers Parti and opposition
agreed on shis po int, they in conjunction
with the Legitimatists, might carry it.
But as has al ready been seen, there are
serious delections; and the non-election
of Nj. Parsy in The Commission, seems
to uugur the defeat even Of the reproba-
tory clause.

SIXTEEN SEAMEN, belonging to the
packet ship Francis Depau, were bro't
before the Circuit Court, in New York,
on Wednesday, charged with an attempt
to make revolt on board said ship, in the
roadstead of Havre on the Is Of Febru-
ary last. The NY. Snn says:-
"The ship had cleared and was towed
ont Of port by steamboat, and when in
the roadstead, 10 of the 81 seamen on
board being under the influence OF drink,
refused TO do duty, became noisy and in
subordinate, and cutting the line that at
tached the ship to the steamboat, took
possession of the ship, so far as to nullify
the authority Of the officers. One Of
them seized the helm, and endeavored to
run the ship on shore, but which was not
effected, when they cast anchor, and for
some time refused to proceed on the voy-
age. The same day, however, they a.
greed to returnto their duty, which they
did, and conducted well during the voy-
nge to this port"
They were all examined-ten commit
ted for farther examination, and the rest
discharged They ascribed their miscon-
duct to in,emperance.
