LE BLA.NC’S COSFESSION.
The confession oftliis monster is'publish-
_ed in the New-Jersey Advocate. It is writ-
ten in better language than he could have
used ; this is probably owing to the superi-
--or abilities of tlieitraoslator. Le Blane
‘was born at Chateau Saliua, (Meurtlie,) in
the N. E. department of France, on the
20th of March, 1809,, of reputable parents,
who are still living. He says he was never
fond of study, and his sole delight was in
tormenting his neighbors and playing tru-
am ;--his father frequently perdicted tliatliis
-end would be in misery. His passions were
always vi0len‘.—lie would on every oppor-
ituiiity give/, but never take an '::sult. In
l853(i, finding his situation disagi'eeable to
himself and his friends, he left his native
place and started foi' Germany, where, at
length, he came to the house of Mrs.
Smicht, a widow woman, residing at Bris-
tol, (Moselle) on the borders of Germany.
He engaged to work for her for several
months, and agreed very well. She had
three daughters, Cliristene, Marretta and
l\larie. Afterliving in the family a year,
he paid particular attention to the latter,
but could not obtain the consent of her
niotlicrto their marriage, he being so pas-
sionate and ill tempered. He says he then
endeavored to gain the mothers sanction to
their union by the most implicit obedience
to her coinniaiids; not succeeding in this
he commanded instead of obeying, and
went so far as even to chastise the family
from the mother to Marie herself! This
course oflife, he says, continued until the
first March of the present year, ivlien find-
ing he could not succeed in his matrimoni-
al plans, (for Marie would never disobey
her mother) he started for America. Pre-
vious to his departure he stole an interview
with Marie, when they pledged themselves
to each other. He informed her that when
he was properly settled in New York or
some other place, he would write to H3)‘,
and she agreed to follow him. Each prom-
fiscd never to marry another so long as either
was living. He went to Paris, and from
thence to Havre, .where he embarked for
New York, and arrived there on the 26th
of April. He says the councils ofhis aged
and worlliy parents often recurred to
him while on his voyage. On the third
- day after his arrival, Mr. Sayre came into
5 his boarding house in Fulton-street, and in-
‘ quired for some one to go into the country dc
work on a farm. Le Blanc agreed to go
on trial for two weeks, when a bargain
would be made fora year. He says he had
not resided with Mr. S. more than a week
'before he saw that he was considered more
as amenial servant than a common hired
.man. As soon as his work was done for
‘the day, he had something to do about the
house, such as feed the iiogs, take care of
horses, cut wood, &c. and was under the
servitude of the servants of the house.—
These and similar considerations engender-
ed the first idea of murder and plunder.-
hehadlonged to be in possession of suffi-
cient money to send to his betrothed Ma-
rie or go to her. He sawtliat Mr. S. paid
out and received considerable money, and
.thinking he could never earn enough for
his purposes, the thoughts of murder often
entered his mind, though he often prayed
5'-to be prevented from committing so great
a sin zyet every time he prayed he foundGod
“had left him, for he had not confessed for ,
"ten years. He finally formed his plans,
'but waited some days for their daughter Ma-
‘:ry‘to return, that he might murder her also
‘as she‘ had a gold watch he wanted. Find-
ing‘ that she did not return, he determined
to execute his plan on Saturday night;
the hired man had gone away in the after-
noon. He asked Mr. S. for five dollars
and received a five f.anc piece: this he
considered as an insult. He then went to
town and got some cider and segars at a
grocery store, and then went to 0. tavern
.a2.id took some brandy and a scgar; this
‘-was done to pass away time till the fami-
'ly had r.et.ii'ed to bed. He then went home
iand rernaiiied about the barn some time af-
'».te‘i° ten o’clock, when he went into tlie'kitcli-
cn,where'lie foiiiid Mr. Sayre sliaving.—~
He pretended by words and signs that
something was wrong in the stable. Mr.
S. soon after took a light and went out, and
as he stepped into the stable door, L-eBlanc
who was standing inside, struck him down
with the back of a spade, and he died in
stantly. He then deeoyed out M S. in
the same way; she came out in haste,
and as soon as she had passed the shed,
he struck her with the same weapon which
had killed her husband ; it being dark the
blow glanced, and he was obliged to strike
her several blows before he brought her to
the ground, while she was begging for her
life. He finally succeeded in killing her.
He then ascended the garret, where with a
single blow, he usurcd Phebe, the colored
girl, into the eternal world; he then com-
.'nr.enccd plundering the house; he would
not-take paper‘ money as he did not know
the value of it, and he feared it would lend t.0
his detection. He thought the jewelry which
he found would become his Marie, and
took it for that purpose. He then put on
Mr.~Sayre's clothes, started for the barn took
outtlie gray mare, and with two bundles
went off; the auiiiiallic say refused to go
ivcll,and turned round with him several times
so that he spilled several things from his
bundles. VVhcii it was near sunrise he dis-
iiioiuited, but did not know what to do with
the horse, but concluded to cut the animal’s
throat; she however got away from him
and went back to the stable. It was the
‘murderers in‘-tcntion ‘to go immediately to
N. York, and there take passage for his
native country and be married to his 'i\la-
riu; he did not think the Murders would
be discovered until Monday, when he
would be safe; but he was unexpectedly
overtaken. Such is the substance of the
confession of this fiend in human shape;
We had not i'o0m for the whole document,
besides the details are too bloody and heart-
sickening for the public cyc.—Nrzo-Haven

may be ‘abused. Beyond that, the ship of
a nation is an inviolable as its soil. The
right of a belligerent to enter a neutral ves-
sel, and search for contraband of war,
has no connexion with the right to enter
and search for men. Th'e ordering up an
American crew, on an Arncric-an deck, by
an English licut'cnant,caiiiiot be a pcaccable
operation; especially where a mistake is
so easily made,arid where, when once made
it is so revolting in itself, and so fatal in its
consequences. In point of fact, it turns
out that the number of British seamen
whom we have thus regained, falls farshort
ofthc number of Amiericans. whom we have
wrongfully carried off. Our newspapers
would have gradually gone to war for Am-
ibrister and Arbutlinot two British sulfccts
: .l
executed by Gen. Jackson. Yet they were
btit two nien\wroiig docrs, and clearly
amciiabldto the lmv by which they suffered.
On the Olllt,l' hand, the two lists made out in
1801 and 1812 of impressed Americans,
can be but a small part oftlie American
case against us. From that fraction of
their case we may, however, form some c-
pinioii ofthe extent to which frecmcn, who
would be a scandal to their linglisli ances-
try unless liberty were as dear as life, must
have writlicd under our practice ofimprcss
meat.
Prior to September, 180], eleven liuri-
dred and thirty twonativc American sailors
were set at liberty by the Eaglisli govern-
ment, as having been wroiigfiilly impr(-.ss-
ed! On the war with America in, I812,
another division of fourteen hundred and
twenty two native Americans, every one
oftliem having been so taken, were trans-
ferred out of our men ofwar into our piis-
onsl This is proved from English docu-
'ments.—hcrc are nearly two thousand six
hundred si.ifi"erci's, victims of a greater out-
rage than one free nation ever assumed the
privilege ofiiiflicting on another ;——aii out-
rage which no nation, deserving the name
ofa nation, and solemnly bound to protect
its meanest members, can be expected pa-
tiently toeiidurc. The’ temptation to all
this wrong is too trivial to be mentioned.-—-
it exists only during war. At that period
the number of foreigners in the American
navy is, we believe, infinitely less than in
our own, where (as we then suspend the
navigation acts) it has been calculated at a
third of the whole. The crew of the Frank-
lin, which brought over Mr. Rush, amoun-
ted to seven hundred men. The London
prints would have it that a third of them
were Englishmeii. In point of‘f-act twenty-
five only were foreigners, and oftliat twenty
five, half belonged to other parts of Europe.

whom the constable fou;‘.d it so diflicult to
please in the application of a cat-0-’ninc

and then too low, and finally there was no
such thing as pleasing the culprit. It isjust
so with the Bank oftlic United States. Do
what they can, the directors are unable to
satisfy the pcnsioned brawlers against the
institution. If they are liberal in their
discounts, the object is bribery, or to cri-
co urage speculation, or to in_inre the
community by the promotion of over-tra-
ding. If, in the exercise ofa prudent fore-
cast, they discofint but sparing|y—Oli hor-

—to ruin the commerce oftlic coui.itry—to
bring on an universal -state of bziiikmptcy

standing, they are the wickcdcst mortals
living, because they ought, to keep their af-
fairs snug, to be ready to wind up. If they
call in the said balances, it is monstrous,
since the design is to oppress the local banks
—to screw up so tight that they cannot ac-
commodate their owri customers. If the
bank extends facilities to the dealers in
produccinthc great west, it is absolutely
shocking, because the. great westis all bank-
rupt, éiz, the bank can never collect the tythc
ofits debts. If on the other hand, the bank
curtailsits accommodation paper, and re-
quirc notes ofnincty days, instead ofa liuii-
dred aiid eighty, it is more shocking still,
because the object is to ruin every body be-
yond the mountains, by prcvcnting, the

the chapter. Every thing that the banlv

Deposits in the Local Ban/cs-—Tlie crit-
line ot'tlic plan proposed by the Treasury
for an arrangement with the local Banks
to reccivctlie governmentdeposits is substan-
tially this. That two Banks in New York
one in Phillidclphia, one in Baltimore and
one in B-oston, five in all, should be asso-
ciatcd together and take the responsibility
andsuperintcndcnce oftlic whole b=.zsiness
engaging to perform all the services which
the United States Bank is required by law
or has been accustomed to pcrform.——
Tltesc five primary banks are to nominate
other banks or agents in all places where
there is a revenue to be collected; these
nominations to be siili_';ei_:t to the ratification
of thcTrcasury. The primary banks are
each to give security in an amount equal to
the sums likely to come into its keeping;
and they are to become jointly and sever-
ally respnnsiblc for one another, and for
each and all of the secondary banks or a-
gents. They are farther to allow :1 Coin-
niissioncr from the Treasury to investigate
their affairs from time to time, much as is
now done by the U. S. Bank. Such is the
proposition. It is well and sagaciously
planned for .-“:ccurity,‘ which under the cir-
cumstances, must be a consideration above
all others. But we think there must be
great if not insurmountable obstacles in the
way of accoinplisliing sucii a plan. Not
so much perhaps on account of any diffi-
culty iii the nature of the case, but because
the arrangement is so unlike all other ar-
raiigiiients, that the propper powers on the
part of the Bank directors are wanting,
and also the experience and i‘-amiliarity
with a rcspoiisibility oftbissort which would
make tliem take it without uiireasoiiablc
apprehension. Our Auctioneers and other
rncrcliants the bank directors and the banks
themselves, are accustomed to take guaran-
tees and responsibilities as great in amount,
all things considered, and much more lia'/.-
ardous. Yet they will hesitate and perhaps
all refuse to take this, though the premi-
um may be quite ample for the risk.~——Jum'.

Fellow Citizeiis,—I liave received with
grateful and deep sensibility the resolu-
tions wliieli you have been please this

municated to me by your very rcs_:ccta-
blc committee.
The principles upon which the conven-
tion liavescen lit to tender to me, are
such as I do not feel it consistent with
my duty as a citizen, to resist. Believ-
ing in the right of the people to coni-
mand the services of one ofthcmsclvcs in
any stution,wliicli they tliiuk propcrto assign
him, I cannot suffer any personal con-
sideration to withstand the call of so
large, so respectable, and virtuous a por-
tion of the people of the Commonwealth
as those you represent, to submit my
name to the decision of their siiflrages
for the oflice of their Chief Magistrate
during the ensuing year.
1 accept then your iiomination, with a
profound sense of the obligatioiis which
your confidence imposes upon me; a-
mong which that of an iulminislration
nicrgingall party spirit and feeling in the
grcat. interests of the Commonwcaltli will
he not least impressive; and with :1 for-
vent prayer to the Ruler of the Universe,

There have bcciiscrious disturbances in
the. cantons of Schwcitz and Basic, in Switz-
-erland’, and in a conflict ncar Basie between
the citizens and the country-people several
liundrcd persons lost their lives. Tlicr was
rumors that Austria intended to interfere in
the affairs of- Swit'/.crlaiid, and in some
quarters it is even suggested that the distur-
banccs were made at her instigation for the
purpose of-affording her a plausible pretence
for interference.
The governments of France and England
seem to be unwilling to recognize Donna
Maria, until Don Pedro li:is relinquished
his pretensions to the ’u-zgeiicy of Portugal.
The request of the 1’rcnch and English
governments, that Don Pedro should rcliii-
quisli his preteitsions to the Regency, had
been communicated to his diplomatic agents
in London and Paris ; the reason assigned
for it is, that some of the sovereigns, whose
consent would be necessary in order to make
a final arrangcmciit of the afi"airs of Por-
tugal, would not be induced to admit the
claims oftlie ex-Emperor to the Regency.
Some suspicion ofthe designs ofthis per-
sonage is cxprcsscd in the English papers,
owing to the despotic nature of his govern-
ment at Oporto and Tcrccira.
The English Bank Charter Bill had pass-
ed through the Committee of the House of
Commons, with considerable modification
and amendments.
It appears very possible that the crisis of
the a‘.i”aii‘s of Portugal may speedily be fol-
lowed by some not unimportant changes in
Spain. I*'erdinand is again indisposed, but
whether his ilinc s dangerous is not known.

Great Fire at I)u.’2li'i.-—-Dubliii _/iztg. 10.
Last night, about lialfpast 173 o’clock, the
great bonded sugar and spirit store ofour
Custom House were discovered to be on
fire. About 3000 hlids. of sugar, and about
3000 puns. of spirits ofvarions kinds were
stored here, togctlicr with wine and oil to
a considerable amount. This fine store
which cost £103,000 in I824 to erect, is
now a perfect ruin. Its lengthfrom N. to S.
is 498 feet, its breath at the nortlicrn ex-
tremity is lll. feet, and at the southern
side (alongtlie quay) 539:? feet; the breadth
at the eastern end is 7'0 feet. It was three
stories high, each floor supported by cast
iron pillars, on which also the frame iron
roof rested, but on the floors giving way
the roof gr-idually fell in also. All the
sugar and tallow stored there are consumed
and there are not 500 lilids more of the for-
mcr in the city at present.
At one time tlicgappearancc of the sur-
rounding quays was truly alarming; the
liberated whiskey broke out in a fiery flood
along the pavement, from whence tall col-
umns of flame ascended in wliirlwinds,
higher than the stores. One burning
stream crossed the quay at North-wall, and
decciidcd into the river l.ifl'cy, which, at
one time presented a sheet offlame half its
breadth, ad_}oining‘.lie scene of Conflag'ra-
tioii. A troop of the Light Dragoons and
the City Horse Police attended, and
preserved good order around the docks and
quays, an extensive district; but within the
Custom House walls, some dozen fellows
got; beastly drunk with a few buckets of
whiskey, which they saved from the leak-
ing casks, and afterwards drank raw from
ten cups and saucers, till they were obliged
to be carrit:';l off dead drui'ik—-pci'liap_s dead!

more ! Several poor, hard working fellows
were pulled out of the spirit store in a sti-
fle_d, senseless state, before the falling oftlic
last portion oftlie roof at the eastern end,
where the work_ ofdistructioii terminated.
The gates were then closed, and the own-
ers cf the saved spirit cusks applied them-
selves succcssfully to hoist them up from the
dock into which they had plunged. Many
were stavcd in their decent by striking on
those gone before, and the dock presents a
surface of wreck.
Another accbunt, states iliaftlie property
destroyed was the value of ;C-£00,001) to
£500,000, of which about 300,000 belong-
cd to merchants of Dublin. Among the
articles destroyed, were 5000 casks and
hog.-rlieads of sugar, 300 punclicons rum,
and 300 casks tallow. v

the 23th tilt. It extended from Stocks

further we cannot say, and was as well as

half an hour; and hail fell to the depth of
several inches, the globules being from the
size of a partridge egg to that of a man’s

we are not at liberty to doubt it; or any of
the above facts. A vast deal of suffering will

at which place, to comply with the wishes
of some professional gentlemen, he will an-

days on a prescribed amount of food. Af-
ter tliis,it is said he will prepare for public-
ation his notes on diet, and pulish them, to
be distributed gratis in the places he has
visited. Ills object‘, as he states, has been,
not to exhibit /timscff as possessing more
pliysical power‘ than others, but, he says, he
believes that any man can perform the same.
The time and distance was selected to prove
this. First, the distance per day is an-
swerable to ten hou labor, and the time
(the heat of summer) to show the effect of
the diet in predisposing the body to stand
the effect of heat.
Ourrcadcrs will recollect that we stated
several weeks since, that the Jewelry store
ofMcssrs. John S. Blackman 65 Son in this
town, was broken open and robbed on the
night following the 8th of}. igust last. Iii-
foriiiation ofthc robbe'y, with a particular
description of the articles stolen, was spee-
dily traiismittcd to the ofiiccrs of the Police
in the cities of New York, Pliiladclphia and

Blackiiians received a letter from the Balti-
more policc, stating that a person had been
arrested in that city and was then in custo-
dy, who liad in his possession many of the
stolen articles.
Mr. Blackman the elder, proceeded im-
mediately to Baltimore, and we are gratifi-
ed to learn has succeeded in recovering a
considerable part of the property. Mr.
Blackinaii at once recognized in the person
arrested, a gentleman who drove into town
the evening previous to the robbery in :1 ba-
rouche drawn by an elegant span of horses,
accompanied by his wife and family; and
who lodged that night at l3:ii':iui'n’s liotcl,
nearly opposite the Mcssr‘. Blackinan’s
store. As he will probably be brouglit hith-
er for trial, we forbear entering into further
dctails.—Danf2ur_2/ Gazette.

were excited by his want of care in selecting

remark that the Editor of that paper is c-
grcgiously mistaken, if be supposed that
Mr‘. Adams has any chance ofbcing elected
Governor of Iilassachuscrts at the ensuing
election :—
Our rcrider will see that Mr. Adams lias.
accepted the noiiiination ofthcAnti-lliasoiis

Burke was censured for giving up to party
wliat was meant for uiaukind. It may be
lanieiitcd that Mr. Adams yields to a party
or a state, what is meant for the Union.
