The Ne,c- Orleans Bee Of July contains the follow

they witnesses OF Maxmian's execution, ard that
EscobedO inflicted twenty-five ashes on the person OF the
ilustrous Prince with whip cOwhide and that the
pOpulace were permitted TO dance around his mutated
aud outraged body. We give the statement without
VOuchng Tor its correctness, and hoping that 1t may
prove be untrue.
