Inc following article is copied from the
London Morning Chronicle of The 18th of

manufacturers in Manchester and Leeds
are reducing the number of their worl,mrn.
and shortening the hours of labor in the mills.
whilst The prices of some description of
goods have fallen lower than at any period
during The last two years. This dullncss of
trade Is owing to the disappointment which
has been experienced in the deficiency of
orders from The United STATES, to " hicli
country il had been expected that there
would have been a very considerable spring

Of money in America, from the contraction
of discounts 10y the banks. which are about

in the operation has been highly bIamca-

of England, who for the last six months
have been dcvsing all kinds Of schemes for
sending oil their surplus bullion to France,
Belgium, and other parts of the continent,
where money was equally abundant as in
England, and, consequently, not required.
Having ruined the American trade by their
prccipiIatc measures in the year IS36-7.

life, bursts ofjoy were echoed from the populaee.
His companions fate elected the same applause
from the spectators. Robespierre the younger,
and Henriot, were half dead from their bruises,
and appeared nearly insensible; but st. Just died
with unshaken frmness, whilst Couthon was
much depressed. Thus terminated the career OF
party whose wholesale cruelties had exceeded
every precedent which the history of civilized ma
tions had ever recorded; and Madame Tussaud
states, that the general rejoicing proclaimed the
delight Of the inhabitants OF Paris at having been
freed from the reign of carnage, which had SO de-
luged the capitals with blood, that in the Fau-
bourg St. Antoine, channel had been cut from
where the guillotine stood, to convey the streams
of human gore to the common drain. A delirium
of Joy appeared to prevail amongst the people,
hoping that from their having been delivered
from the sanguinary tyrants, under whom the
foulest atrocities had been perpetrated, their sue
cessors would be awed by the fate Of their pre-
decessors, and govern with more justice, reason,
and moderation. The prisons resounded with
the muzzas of their inmates, considering their
Liberation as insured by the death Of Robespierre;
and newspapers containing the account of his
fall, and that of his adherents, sold as high as
thirty francs each.
The native American., 1838-07-07

EXECUTION OF RoBEsPIERRE.-The victory
was achieved at three o'clock in the morning, and
the deafening cries of Down with the Tyrants!'
Liberty foreverp resounded through the hall; and
when Robespierre and his accomplices were an
nounced, the President, as well as most of the
members, observed as they were outlawed and
|conspirators, trial was not requisite, and ex-
claimed, 'Of with the consprators to execution!'
Robespierre and his colleagues were conveyed
to the hall of the Committee of public welfare,
where, being laid upon table, some pieces OF
pasteboard were put under his head to support it;
and as the blood continued oozing from his wound,
he endcavored to staunch it with woolen sheath
| OF pistol, and the persons around him, every
now and then, handed him slips of paper, for the
purpose of ofwiping his face. He was dressed as
on the day of the festival 10 the Supreme Being,
in blue coat, nankeen breeches, and white stock
ings, which, in the confusion, had fallen to his
heels. On the arrival of medical man for the
purpose Of dressing his wound, he got down from
the table and placed himself in an armed chair.
and underwent most painful operation without a
sigh or groan, but maintained a sullen silence.
Whilst he and his fellow sufferers were being con-
veyed to the scaffold, the carts were surrounded
by multitudes of the relations of persons whom he
had caused to be executed, and the gens-de-arn,es
kept pointing him out to the people with their
swords. One woman from the crowd exclam-
led, Murderer of all my kindred! descend to hell
with the curses Of every mother in Francep and
as the axe fell, which deprived the monster of
