Montreal Gaol, Aug. 30, 1833. A correspondent of the New York Daily Advertiser says. respecting the murderer Le Blanc, who was hanged at Morristown on Friday culprit evinced very little concorn for himself until Thursday night, when he slept but little, and was frequeutly heard engaged in prayer or pacing the floor of his cell. The priest attended him carly on Friday, and administered the mass to him.

At about nine o'clock, the sheriff, accompanied by Mr Boisaubin and myself, entered the cell, the former to free the prisoner from his iron fetters, preparatory to his exccution, and the latter to clicit if possible: a further development of the history of this extraordinary criminal; but he persisted in denying having any connexion whatever with any other murder, and repeated frequently his acquicscence in the punishment he was about to suffer. Elc complained that stories had been got up about him that was not true -one in particular, of his having paid the priest a dollar and al half to have his sins pardoned, which he regarded as an insult to his religion. lle also spoke of persons who came frequently to the window of his cell to observe whether he was penitent, that they were continually saying to each other in his hearing, "he don't cry'- -he don't cry." Dicu," said Le Blanc, cannot cry all the lime to gratify them--I merit death, and were they to cut me up picce meal alive, I shall not murmur; it is what I deserve for my barbarous conduct in killing the family of Mr Sayr, for I not only butchered them, but I cut them off in the midst of their sins." After the prisoner had washed himself, the sheriff brought into his cell and laid before him the garments in which he was to be exccuted. The prisoner smiled as he received them, waggishly looking alternately at the dress and the sheriff, and put them on with as good a grace as if he was going to a wedding.lie actually laughed out when' hic drew on the white pantaloons, they being somewhat small; and he remarked us he looked at the appearance he made in them, that the priest would not know him when he came again. Ic made many other observations of a similar nature while he was dressing.

About this time the military began to come in town, who being 'determined to make the most of the occasion, kept up an icessant drumming and fifing about the court house, freapproaching the cell of the prisoner, who did not appear pleascd, and observed with a shrug, "that music is for me, I supposc." At 12 o'clock the procession, under an escort of cavalry and infantry, proceded to the place of execution.Lc Blanc walked as firmly as the rest, and did not aller a muscle.laving arrived at the foot of the gallows, a short prayer was offered up by the priest--the prisoner then addressed the crowd in his own language for a minute or two, the purport of which was acknowledging the justice of his execution, and cxhorting them to take warning. At 20 minutes past 12, the sheriff with the same hatchet that killed the black girl, struck the fatal cord, and Antoinc Lc Blanc was launched into cternity. tide of cmigration, which somewhat slackened during the scason of harvest, again flows on with its wonted rapidity.The state of Ohio will probably receive a greater accession of population this year from emigration, than for many years beforc.

Charge of some time since alluded to the fact that an application had been made by Garrit Luyster, to obtain a certificate from the county clerk, as to the authenticity of two signatures, purporting to be those of the Hon. Richlard Riker, recorder of this city, which were ascertained to be forgerics.

The forged signatures of the recorder were appended to the jurat of an affidavit, and an acknowledgment of the execution of a power of attorney, authorizing Walter F. Osgood, Esq. to receive about $900 pension money, duc to a pensioner by 1 the name of Clark. The whole of the papers having been detained by the county clerk, who suspected them to be spurious, under the promisc that his doubts and suspicions should be removed by the production of Clark, the pensioner, the matter was permitted to remain for a fortnight without further investigation. At the end of this time, however, it was ascertained that Mr Osgood had received the amount the pension from the agent of the government, upon duplicate papers, purporting to have been acknowledged and sworn to before a Notary Public, the day following that upon which the clerk caused the first set to be detained.

They were then handed over to the U. S. District Attorney, and such proceedings had upon them that a warrant was issucd, and Osgood and Luyster apprehended. Mr Oscood gave bail the sum of 82000 to answer al the October circuit, but Luyster from ability to procure bail, was committed to close custody. Yesterday morning, Luyster havmade a voluntary statement the circumstances attending this leged fraud, the former bhil of Osgood made a surrender of his per(son in open court, wherrupon was ordered to find new security for his appcarance to answer, and the sum increased to $10.000.

HARTFORD, Sept. 6. have delayed the publication of our paper this morning for the purpose of giving our readers a brief account of the execution of Teller and Cesar, which took place at twenty minutes past nine o'clock.

Early in the morning the prisoners were placed in a room together, and the Rev. G. F. Davis, Rev. Mr.

Remington, and Rev. Mr Barrett, Chaplain of the State prison, spent some time with them in devotional exercises. At nine o'clock they were taken to the scaffold. Each 001 spoke. Cesar declared his innocence of the crime for which he was to die, and said he should 170 into cternity stained with the blood of Hoskins;" hut such had been the wickedness of his whole life, ho acknowledged the justice of his doom, and trusted he was prepared to find mercy of God.

Teller said, as he always has done, that he was not guilty of wilful murder, and very incoherently expressed his disapprobation of taking the life of man for any crime, by exccuting him. him be chained," said he, "let him be put into the dungeon, but let him live, Ile hoped this would be the last event of the kind in the statc." At the request of Teller, the hymn commencing with "The Voice of Frec Grace," was sung, and at the desire of Caesar, the grace hath power alonc. To subduc a heart of stone." Prayer was then offered by the Rev. Mr Davis, who has attended them constantly during their imprisonment. The prisoners then took leave of the sherif, of several friends, of each other, and at last, in a very affectionate manner, of the Rev.

Mr Davis, thanking him for his kindness to them, and expressed a hope to meet him where chains and prisons and executions would be known no more. The caps were then drawn over their cyes, and, while they were both employed in the very act of carnest vocal prayer, the drop fell, and after a short struggle all was over. Welcarn that Caesar for several weeks has appeared to be quite penitent and reconciled. During all the appalling circumstances of the exccution, he seemed to be firm and unmored. lIe expressed the strongest confidence in the unmerited compassion of Christ, and declared he was precious to his soul-Teller seemed at times quite agitated, and no change was apparent in his religious views or feclings.

Press of the 5th inst. considers itself fully justified in saying that the cholera no longer exists in that country as an epidemic.

No case had occurred in Charlestown or Harper's Ferry, for the last two weeks.

SEPT. 24, 1833. To our young competitors and Editors of 4 3 4 3 3 7 7 western intelligencer. Who "weave fine cobwebs fit for skull, That's empty when the moon is full; Such as take lodgings in a head, That's to be let We particularly notice the lucubrations of the Western Intelligencer," a paper printed in this village; and the low, mean, and contemptible manner, in which they quote the they state, in their wise judgment, that we are "'remiss in not publishing lo the WORLD a list of all the persons who have a voice in the editorial department--only TwO are officially announced." Be that as it may, ONE IS enough to answer the billingsgate slander attempted against our paper.

For the Huron Reflector. The "Intelligencer" has tired another Gun, which 1 expect was aimed at me, or some old Rat or Crow, or something else; but have not concluded whether the charge all squibbed out of the vent-hole; or whether the piece scattered so much, that the contents have flown past, and are yet secking their intended object. The more natural conclusion would be perhaps, that there was not force enough in the ammunition, to do any scrious injury: at any rate, we have escaped unhurt. The whole race of quadrupeds are rejoicing at their fortunate escape. But to confess the truth, I was a little alarmed; for I thought some able person might be procured to charge the big paper GUN, (to wit, the Intelligencer.) so as to cither make a successful shot, or clse blow up my whole race.

But I will now treat the sharp shooting archer with a candid and serious reply. I read the attack made upon me with care and attention; but could only find many "scattered fragments of broken thoughts," and words of five syllables, thrown together without sense, learning, or skill. The attack speaks of a convention of quadrupeds. This is something that 1 know nothing about. If there ever was such a convention, the name of the Chairman, and Clerk, and the place where it was holden, and the time when, ought to be published also, or cise there will be no credit given to the publication.

I shall therefore conclude that my people have been falsely accused; says therefore, Resolved, That the "Western Intelligencer is based upon a precarious foundation, and must shortly go down, in consequence of the extreme poverty of the I proprictors; which resolutions, he says, were ordered to be published." This publication of falschood is undoubtedly tended to create a prejudice in the public mind, by blind insinuations, that the Intelligencer is persecuted; which is not 50. Now I find that I have a very formidable enemy to combat with--but since leaving their type closet, I have seen better times, and am able to stand several hard skirmishes yet. The unfortunate MOUSE.

Messrs Tainter and Roorback cheerfully declined in his favor, and pledged themselves to use their influence to promoto his election. The business for which the meeting assembled being accomplished, Doctor McMillan, of Clarksfield, was duly appointed to report the proceedings, and request the editors of the different news papers printed in this county, to publish the same in their respective papers, and discontinue the names of Messrs Tainter, Roorback, Spalding and Palmer, as candidates for county commissioner. Being universally admitted that the castern part of the county is entitled to one commissioner, solicitations were frequently received from the west, for us to unite upon one candidate, and they would cheerfully give him their support.

The proposed arrangement having been made, and Smith Starr being the candidate nominated, and a man of acknowledged abilities, there is no doubt but the approaching contest will result in is his e- lection. By order of the meeting. ANDREW McMILLAN. Clarksfield, Sept. 14th, 1833.
