Extract of a letter . from Jllarlinir/ur, dated Sc/It.
" 2, I818. '
“ \Vc have now in the prisons of St. Pierre a
man of the name of Cesar Fournier, confined
for piracy ; and as the fate of the unfortunate
victims of his rapacity no doubt interests many
in the United States, I send you the following
sttttement of facts. A J‘ ' "
“ Cesar Fournier, a Frenchman, was owner
and supercargo of a schooner under American
colors. called the Louisiana, Capt. Ad-.tms,an A-
merican, all the crew American, and a citizen of
cleared from N. Orleans, having takenon board
several passengers for the Brazil ;' arrived oppo-
site the deserted Islands of La Salud not far from
Cayenne,.under pretence of gathering fruits, he
put all passengers ashore and deserted them in
the- most destitute -situation, where they were
doomed, front the want of food and covering, to
along agony and certain '(leath—tl'te cre.w then
divided amongtltemselves their property. Af-
ter having cruizcd a short time before Cayenne
in expectation of taking a vessel which was to
sail from that port to France, being short of wa-
' ter he made sail for St. Pierre, to procure the ne-
cessary supplies and several-articles found want-
ing to fit out this vessel for a cruize as a pirate.
-At St. Pierre the conduct of _the crew. created:
suspicions, the vessel, was thoroughly searched,
and besides otherarticlés, several boxes of fire
artns which had not been declared at the custom
house, were found, and consequently the vessel
seized. Some words which escaped from some
of the crew created suspicions of a more serious
nature, and Capt. Adams, Fournier and the crew
were put in jail—Fournier and Adams however
finding securities, were permitted to go at large
in St. Pierre. .
“ In the mean time arrived his Majesty's scht-..
La Saute-relle, sent by Liéut. Gen. Casa St". Cyr,
from'(‘.ayenne, having on" board the nine passen-
gers (amongst whom was a lady) who had been
left by Fournier and Adams on the Island of La
Salud, and had been providentially ‘rescued from
a horrid and lingering death by a coaster going
to Cayenne.» All the suspicions’entertained on
the.‘ subjectof the Louisiana, were now confirm-
ed, and the Governor Donztlot gave immediate
orders to confine in jail Cesar Fournicr and Capt.
Adams. _ _ , , -
“‘The court before which this all‘-air was car-
ried‘, concluded that on account of the flag they
could try these monsters only as to the infraction
of the revenue laws,‘ and the captain and super-
cargo were both condemned to infamy,~(au blame)
to pay 40,000 francs each, and to remain in jail
until full payment of the fine. ’
- ‘~Testimonies given before the court shew that
the life of Fourniet has been a continued suc-
cession of the most atrocious crimes.-; It would
appear that at Trieste he murdered the Captain
of an English or American -vfessel ;, that having
afterwards.the.command.of a South American
privateer, he took on the coast of Guinea, a Span-I
ish schooner, and inhumanly l)utchet‘c(l the whole
crew, and went ashore to burn the bodies. ‘ That
in company with an Italianof-the nameof Aq't.i-“~
lantc, they killed two men in Baltimore a year or
two ago, made their .-escape .. to P,hilatlelplti2t,;
where, for another t_nur'der,.they..we.re p'ut'in jail :
however :l"ournier found means to get out and
’.went' to New Orleans,-where hefittcd out this
schooner _Louisian_a, to continue his deprcdalions
with im'pun_ity under the Patriot flag. I '
“ This_ man will besent to Frant;¢.to be there
tried for piracy by competent authority, and it is
to be hoped will receive the punishment he and
“ I sendyou this,'because I think that such
acts of wanton cruelty (and "they now occur eve-
ry.-day) ought to be tnade public, so as to open,
if possible, the eyes of the civilized world on the
inhumanity of giving in any way countenance to
a set of unfeeling wretches, who, under the cloak
of patriotism, enricli themselves by murders and
v'piracies.”-—Baltimore /mfzer.

Horrid Murder.-—On Monday afternoon, the
12th inst. (says the Salem Gazette) an awful
murder, almost too shocking inits circumstances
to describe .or believe, was committed in Marble-
head. _The. perpetrat_o.r was ‘a young nwh» by
the name of David A. Phillips, about 23 years
of age; and the.vi.ctim, hisown wife,‘ only 19,
just got to bed of her-firstchild. The man, it is
said, had before discovered’ a violent and malig-
nanttemper ; and be seized the opportunity ofa
moment when the nurse was gone out of the
room, (affecting some doubts,of which the char-
acter of the woman did;not.al_i‘ord the shadow of
a justification,_of the legitimacyof the child) and
aimed a blow with a hammer at" the infant's head,‘
‘which however was shielded by the arm of its
mother, against whom thecruelty of the monster
was then turned, and he ‘gave, her a s't:,vere blow
-on the temple, together with several others on the
head, and then cut her throat with a knife ; she
was however able to_ spring from her bed, and
with -her child in her arms to run below stairs,
‘where the first person she rnetiwas herown moth-V
er. The alarmed family and neighbors, on rush-
ing into the chamber from whence Mrs. Phillips
had escaped, fottnd the husband standing against
the wall, profusely bleeding, ‘having in the inte-
rem attempted to execute justice on himself by
cutting his own throat. Mrs.‘ Phillips lingered
until Wednesday, on which day she died. The
fatal wound was the blow on thetentplc, the cut.
not being so deep _as' to be mortal. -His own
wottnd, we are- told, is healing, and his life likely
l.0 be prolonged for severer trials ; but we_ under-
stand he discovers no compunction for the l1'orri_d
deed, and continues in the same vindictive tem-
perin which he committed it. The palliation of
insanity is pleaded for by some, -and (humanity
would wish that" this, rather thanungovernable
passion the parent of the worst of crimes,imigltt
be the cause of his defence.

Insurrectiarl at the State Prz'..~.-on.—On the l7th
_inst. about'4~ in the afternoon, another desperate
attempt was made by the convicts in the New Jer-
scy‘Stat'e Prison, near Trenton, to effect a gener-
al jail delivery. The plot enveloped as the gra-
ted door leading to the keepet-’s apartments, was
opened by a young ‘man, the'keeper’s son.‘ One
of the most athletic and powerful men among
the prisoners, who',was‘ standing _near,.sprang up-
on the door and held it open._ An assistant keep-
er, who came up,,exerted.: himself in vain to shut
the door-—-several bf fithe, prisoners in the plot,
soon advancing, and pressing upon him‘. The
young man immediately retreated to the count-
ing room of the infstitution, where are_ kept the
arms for its pro.tecti'on ;_ he. was quickly followed
ting a loaded pistol and turning upon the culprit,
.bade- him keep back. ‘_'_l‘he desperado, still push-
ing‘on,-"rec’eiv‘ed'the’contents of the pistol, in his
side and abtlomt:I_1’—-he staggerctl and fell ina.
croner of the ‘room 5 but soon recovered, and
seizing one of the loaded muskets near him, was
aiming at the young man, as his father, Francis
La‘b_aw,' the principal keeper" got into the room,
who rushed upon. the culprit and succeeded in so
-farclevating the muzzleof the piece thatits con-
vtettts, as it was'dischargéd,,passed over his sonls
head, and. lodged in the partition wall. This
desperaie" culprit, weakened with the effects of
his'wuun'ds and the ‘loss of blood,‘now surrender-
ed and was disar_med. The assistant keeper who
was engaged at the grated door, although he had
i‘eccivetl'sevet‘al_ stabs from the prisoners with
whom he was contending, had by this time suc-
ccedetl in closing the door after two or three had
passed t"l1I‘0llgilh_ These however were pursued
and soon after brought back. _

sidered dangerous. _ The prisonet~.u-110 was Shot
