CHARLOTTE CORDEE, Assassinator of MARAT. Trar.sated from toe French of M. da- Erccu. Charlotte Cordte was Lorn at St. Sa turnin des Ligncrcftb, iti the year 1768. Nature had bellowed on her a handlome person, with fri-ling-, and mafru.ine ener gy of understanding. She rcei ived her education in a convent ; but, diifdaiaiiig the frivolous mir.ui a of that fpccies of education, (he labored vich cor.ftant as fldtflty to cu ivate her own powers, and hourly ftrtngthened thatbeut ofherima. aination tdtverds the grand aod sublime, y/hicn accorded w’th the infl xible puri rity of lift makn- re, while it fitted her for th t p rilous enterprize to which, at the age of 25 (he fell a fclf devoted fa* cr fiee. } Her love of fludy rendered her care less of the homage that her beauty attrafted, and her deflre of independence raufed her to refufe trany oflFers of mar riage from men to whom her heart was indiffi rent. But. cvtji Philosophy and patriotism could not nlways render the bread of t heir fair and heroic defcipline invulnerable to the (hafts of love. 7he young and handsome Belzunce, major en second of the regiment of Bourbon, quartered at Caen, beeome devoted to her, and fucceededin inspiring her with a passion as virtuous at profound. This young officer was massacred on the nth of August, 1789, by a furious multitude, afrer Marat, in several successive numbers 1 of hi* journal called L'Ar tdu Peupk, nad denounced r*i; unfortunate Belzuuce as a counter revolutionist. From that moment the foul of Char lotte Cordeeknew no happiness, and re pftfer only off the desire of vrngence up on him whom she believed to be the au thor of her misery. Her hatred of Marat became yet vehement after the rvents of the 3 ift of May, when (he beheld him who had If creed the death of Bslzunce now master as it were deftinyof France ; while rhe deputies, whfafe principles she loved and whose talent*-die honored, were pro scribed and destitute fugitives, and look ing vainly to theiT country, to French men and the laws to save them from the cutftretchid fwOrd of tyranny. ; t was wliat Charlottt Cordee tefolved to fntisfy the venp-ance %f her love, and fuatch her country from the grasp of the tyrant. To execute with perseverance and cau tion that which (he had planned upon principle, was natural to the d< - te r mi i v'’ and Heady mind of Charlotte Cor. ee She left Caen on the 9th of July, t” arid arrived about noon on the third at Paris. Some commissions with winch (be was charged by her family and friends occupied her the firft day after val Early on the next morning she went to the PSlais Rdjral, bought a knife, and, getting into a hackney coaoh, drove to the house of Marat. It was not then poffiblc for her to obtain ah audiende of him, though (he left noth*ig uneflayed that (he thought likely to influence in her favor the perfon9 who denied her ad mittance. •’ -*- ‘• a Being returned to her hotel, i!e wrote the following letter to,Marat— *• C iti re* —l am just 21-rived flfvm Caen, ‘t cur l. ve for your country inclines me to fuppoie y on will lifte* with pleif re to the se cret events of that part of the I will present fflyfelf at yijur hoiife, have the gnodnefs to give ord rsfor m adntiffion, ai.dt grant me a ov'ineat’s private convene ion : I can point out the means by which you mav render op important service to'France ” In the iear that this letter might not produce the tffedi (he dtfired upon Mg rat, fl.e wrotj a fccond letter, ftiil more pn fling, which (be intended to carry"with her, an. 1-ave for tfiin. in case (he was not received. B was eipreffed as fol low’s “ 1 wrote you this morning, Citizen Ma rat, Have you received my letter > fe cannot imagine 11 is poSble you have 11,-hen I find jour daov jlill cloftd againil me.’ I tntreat hat yru will grant ire an interview to nior ro y. { repea’, that I come from Caen—that I have ffctmts to reveal to you nf the highest itfp.or<itcey* the fafety cf the republic.- fle tiiwsS.-i*.tatii.’l l y perfccuted forthe cawfe of )ib3t|S£iT ro unfa; tun ate 1 to fay that is fuificient to.ynwiilerre to voiir protection.” It was licrusceflaiy to present the se cond letter ; for, when Chariofte Cordee arrived at the houft of between seven and eight in the evening, and fpokc tmpreflivtiy of her desire to fee him, to the woman whs opened the door, Marat, who heard her from W bath, where he then wes, concluded it was the ptrfon ilrom wuom he had recejwd the letter of tbe moniing, and ordered that (he (haultr 1 immediately be admitted* Being left rtoac with him whom she in. 7 tended to cmmoUte to the oexes ot her lover and the iojurqs of her country, end fitting clofc by fits file, file nnfwered will.; the mod felf-poffcffion hi* e ger qu<f&nr concerning the deferibed cepnties tftai were as Caen. He demanded names, with those of the ir.agiftrstes f Calvados, all cf whom ike named accu r*t. V While he wrote aicmnrtndums j of their convocation upon Lis tob!c3,! Cbarlottee Cordee merfured with her I eye the spot whereupon to strike ; when J Ma-at having said that all these fltputirsj and their accomplices (hould presently txpiate their t'eafon upon the fcaffold her indignation received his words as the signal of vengeance; she snatched the weapon from her beforr., and buried the entire kni ein his heart ! A fiugle txclamatiofiefcaped the mifirable wretch ; ,‘ Far me!” he said and expired. Tra l auil and unmoved amid ft the ge neral coirtt- rnation, Charlotte Cordee, ?s ‘ if (he propefed to atone for the murder ’ however Ihe deemed ic ncetflary, by a public deaih, did not attempt her cicape. ! ■ he had received several violent blows on her head from a neighbor of Marat, the person who ran into the room on hesring the news of Iris nT isl arion ; but when the armed foiee a-rtved, (he put berfe'if undtr their protcCiiou. a offi er oi the police drew up mi'.u tsof the af lalfiiiarion, which Hie eh ,rfuily sig ned, and was then conveyed to the pnion of the Abbey. Calumniated, abused, and even person- j fonally ill treated by the faction of Mi- j rat, she was three days espefed in her 1 dungeon to ali their iofults and til | be ore (he was brought to trial. During this interval, (he had foui means to write to her father, imploring his forgivenefs ; for having thus difpoted of her life with, j out his occurence It was in the presence of the men abou* | to decide upon her death, one (hould have fecn Charlotte Ccrde, to have felt the ‘ grandeur of Ik r charac cr. The records! of the trial and her own letters, give buts a faint pitture of her noble and dignified! deportment. If (he spoke to her judges, it was neither with the wild i energy of a demoniac, nor did she j assist the language of innocence ; it was with the fell tatisfatlion of a volun tary victim, who feels it natural to devote her life to the faivation of her country, who did not welcome death as the ex piation of 3 crime, but received it as the inevitable consequence of a mighty effort r© avenge the injnries af a nation. While the curies of an incensed and prejudiced people resounded on all (ides, (he betrayed ‘neither scorn nor indignation. W hen (he looked upon the angry multitude, her .eyes expreffid a generous pity for the fcffcrings a id delufi in of her country men. If Ihe difpifed the men who lat in judgement on her life, (he forebore to insult them ; but replied to their reiter ated questions with a composure and pre fence of mind that allouifhed them : while her face and person were animated with the bloom of youth and beauty, her words were graced with the eloqucuo of a sage 1 The defence made by her council de serves to be recorded here from its pem culiar cropriety in their circumftanees 11 You heard'” fai and her council a! ogethe confounded by the courage (lie had difplavei L “ the ai) Tver cf the prisoner • (lie acknov let ges her guilt ; ihe eve r acknowledges, i 1 very delioerate manner, her long predettrmi nation of the event She has not fuffertv any of the mull revolting cf its circnmttai ce to pais unnoticed by yi u She confeifes the tvhoie charge, ami does norfeekinany raa. ner to juftifv herUf —This immovabc tem per. this abfctu e rlefertion cf herftif in the vec presence I may fy, of death . th-.s ab fe ce ■ f all remorse ; these are so far front b’ natural, tt-at they can only be ref Ivi-c in o that political phrenzy, which places s .not guard it the hands of a maniac; and it it for yee, citizens jurors to determine what w ght the coniidevation oughtto have ie the baia ce of j cilice ” After tbe tumult and loud applauses that followed her condemnation had cfcafed, (lie addrtfled herfelf to her coun cil— ” You have defended me,” (he said “ in a manner as generous as delicate : it was the only one that could have rendered me that service which was in your power: accept my thanks and my elteem.

The two impor ant points before mentioned were very (piliy argued before Alexander Croke, °q dodtor of lawn, and judge of thie vice-admiralty court of Nova-Scotia, a c.viiiar, of very abie and distinguished aka*.

Self-defence, he remarked, was one of our moft ia cre-d and imprefeeptib’e rights, and up on this general principle-—men who form part of any government, are allowed to arm for their own fafety and proteftion t ’ position obviously admitted in the cases of the Maria Eifabe, as had been properly ot'ferved by counsel for she claimants.
