 THE EXECUTION. .,4 .,4sJ The execution of Alibeaud took place on

 Monday morning. The scafold was erected

 between midnight and three o'clock. The

 troops on duty, consisting of four or five bat

 tqlions of Infantry, as many squadrons of cav

 airy, and several companies of the Municipal Guards, foot and horse, may be computed at

 thirty tho thousand men. besides a multitude of |

 the Place St. Jaques were guarded; and the | few persons who had obtained access to the

 Place were compelled to fall back, At two

 minutes before five, the prisoner arrived at 1 the foot of the scaffold, the steps of which he

 ascended with . firm step. The prisoner was

 dressed simply in his shirt and trowsers, his head enveloped in a black veil, which descen- ded below his eyes. His feet were naked -- He remained ? few moments in conversation

 presence and in the hearing of the assembled

 people, but in the presence of the soldiers,

 by whom the people were removed and re-

 placed. This over, the executioner took off the veil from the, prisoners head. The lat

 him, when the axe fell, ,and he was no more.

 An article has been published in the Ga zette of this city, and copied into various pa-

 Whitaker the father, who is mentioned in

 the article to which we allude as having form ed the design of putting his son to death with his own hands, in ease he should not be par

 doned Or make his escape, has, we are inforns

 ed, been dead for many years. The mother

 and sister of the young Whitaker who com

 nlitted suicide m prison, are persons of excel

 lent character the sister, who is represent ed as threatening to train up her little child ren to put to death the Governor of Louisiana,

 the judge who sentenced and the jailor who confined his brother, is a young lady, unmar-

 ried, of singular beauty, accomplished and

 amiablc. The story of their furnishing young Whitaker with laudanurn to destroy his life was never heard ofin New Orleans and that of her arning herself to assassinate him on his way to execution, in case he should not

 die by his own hand, is as improbable a slan- ger as could have been invented. The sec 4 ond brother of Whitaker, who is said in the

 Gazette to have been shot, is parsonage who

 never existed. There was but one brother. warren Whitaker, who is alive vet and

 this, together with the character of inc fan,i. ly, makes the story of their refusing t, nav :, person whom they employed to execute a ! bust of the deceased, and even wavIaying him to take his life, utterly improbable.

 was condemned to die, and they exerted l themselves with equal i'll success to induce \ tne GoYernor and Senate to commute his punishrMIseiit. M They even endea3orcd to Sesl ], cape The young man was determined not
