PARIS, November 7.

Execution of Philip Egalite.

This celebrated personage yesterday underwent an interrogatory before the Revolutionary Tribunal. All that is hitherto known of what passed there is that being questioned respecting his intimacy with Sillery, the deputy lately executed, he answered, "I was attached to Sillery until the moment that I refused any longer to see him." You have nevertheless (says the President) committed the care of your children to his wife who is now with them abroad. "Yes (answered Egalite) but that was at a time when I had no cause to suspect Sillery."

This most villainous, most cowardly, and most infamous of wretches, was condemned to death at the same sitting at which he was tried; and yesterday evening, at half past five o'clock, he was executed on the Place de la Revolution, three hours after judgment was pronounced against him.

On the same day that Egalite suffered, and on the same scaffold, was likewise executed, Coutard, another Deputy of the Convention.

Bailly, the late Mayor, will soon suffer a similar fate; he has been transferred to the Conciergerie, and so has General Biron. General Houchard and Brunet: and M. Barthelemy, the author of the Voyages of Anacharsis, have been also transferred from the Abbaye to the Conciergerie.

The total number of persons confined in the several prisons, was yesterday 3255.

The wife of Roland is shortly to appear before the revolutionary tribunal, to give information respecting the retreat of her husband, or to undergo the punishment which was reserved for that Ex-Minister.

Madame Rolli, wife of the Ex-Farmer General of that name, had obtained a suspension of her sentence, by declaring herself with child. The time for that proof being elapsed, she was yesterday delivered over to the guillotine. Lemayne, Warner, Lacombe, and Purguette, members of the Popular Commission at Bordeaux, have shared the same fate.
