The federal writers have heretofore been extremely fcWmorous for die dowufal of Bonaparte, and the eleva- . W>n of Louis. Some of bur clergy nave aided tile cause, prostitutmg the pulpit in vociferous invectives against nhaparte, and servile adulation Gf ’’Louis. If'he tyrant [ down, (said they) then the a'lgry passions of men will 'i at an end; we siiall no moreheav- of garments rolled in jod, nor individuals cruelly sacrificed by military trihu- Many who could not fathom the meaning cf the i&deums got up among us by the devotees of England, real- y supposed, if Bonaparte were once but of the way, that prosperity would be established, cruelty would cease in the “Christkn world,” and brother would no longer be Oie enemy of brother. But mark the sequel: three French- ffien are tried in Paris on a charge of treason, (June, 1816) ATe pronounced guilty, and not content with-taking their Louis’ paternal govenirifent first canoe the right hands of the unfirrtunate-men to be cut off! The following is the sentence. Its barbarity and un necessary cruelty will attach merited odium to the me* . tfiory of the Bourbons to the latest posterity. Sentence against Pleignier, Carbonneau, andToIleron, pi Paris, found guilty by a jury, of treason:— “To be conducted to .the place of execution in their shirts* with bare feet, and their heads covered with a black and to be exposed upon the scaffold wljilst the offi cer reads the sentence to the people; their bands are then yy be cutoff, Suck they- are to be immediately executed.” And yet, it is said, we live in an enlightened period of the world! Is it possible, that in the nineteenth century, ♦.sentence of such aggravated barbarity should be passed and executed? It .ought well to be remembered, howev er, that this sentence is a remnant of feiuiul and mgna’ cfu- a! crueltyt—-the effect of that system of ancient outrage » which the -whole people of a comtiry were reduced to. a te cf brutal age to one crowned and besotted cormorant rtjHlo preyed upon their very vi als whenever his passions’ jhr caprices dictated. Not content with the lives of Pleignier, Carbonneau 'ifad Tolleron, the Bourbons must first cut off their hands, ■dhd^rail the dreadful-circumstances- above stated.

A real tragedy was exhibited at Sackett’s Harbor, a few days since, before a large company of spectators. Attached to the show bill of a wire dancer, appeared an advertisement of an Italian sailor, who promised to ex hibit wonderful feats, such as the spectators had never before seen. Curiosity attracted a very full house. Af ter the first had performed his part of die entertainment, the sailor entered, called for a blanket and pillow, and laidfrimself down upon the floor. All eyes were turned : iwards him, in anxious expectftion, when he drew ffom his bo*om a pistol, clapped the muzzle to his eat, and blew out his brains! This closed th« entertainment. As horrid as this deed appears, the deluded man who became its victim, had undoubtedly anticipated a,, much eclat, as he does who deliberately goes out to shoot hu friend, of to be shot—in a duel.
