Berkeley And Jefferson Intelligencer

NEW-YORK. October 27.

We are indebted to the Captain and one of the passengers of the ship Susan, in 35 days from Dublin, for Irish dates to the 22 Sept. They contain no London news of importance. The Paris dates are not so late as before received.

After a long trial, Robert Emmet, one of the principal conspirators in Ireland who it was said drew up the constitution of the government of the United Irishmen was sentenced on the 20th of September at Dublin and executed at the next day. In reporting the trial the Hibernian Journal says. On the part of the crown reading the indictment to the prisoner and informing him that a jury of his country had found him guilty; and then asking in the usual form why sentence should not be passed against him. The prisoner in a most animated speech, replete with the most elegant language, avowed his being one of the Provisional Government who issued the Proclamation; that he gloried in the cause, and that as he had already exposed his life for it, he would not now shrink from expressing his sentiments, altho with the halter nearly about his neck; that he trusted the court would allow him to express a sentiment that while he had life he would persist in, and that death alone should prevent him from acting on it. He particularly disclaimed any intention of the Provisional Government selling his Country to the French, and disavowed that any treaty was entered into with them, save that of receiving a small body of troops, enough in number, in co-operation with the insurgents, to overturn the government; but insufficient to establish a French preponderance.

The Court heard him with a great deal of patience and although indignation was visible in the countenance of every person in Court at this public avowal of his guilt, yet not a murmur was heard. Lord Norbury after a salutary remonstrance to the prisoner, and paying a handsome compliment to some of the respectable members of the family, to which he belongs, pronounced the awful sentence of the law, in case of high treason. Death.

The same paper, of 21st Sept. contains the following account of his execution.

Yesterday about three o'clock Robert Emmett, who had been found guilty of high treason the day before, was conveyed under a guard from Kilmainham gaol, in a carriage, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Grant and the Rev. Mr. Gamble in a slow solemn pace over Sarah's bridge, and from thence along Barrack Street, and over the Queen's bridge to Thomas street, where a gallows had been erected. On their arrival at the fatal spot the prisoner remained about 20 minutes in the carriage with the Clergymen: he then, ascended the platform with a firm composed air, untied his neckcloth and adjusted the rope about his neck; after exclaiming in an audible voice, "I die in peace with all mankind" the fatal signal was given, when he was turned off, after hanging about 30 minutes his body was cut down, when the executioner performed the remaining part of the sentence of cutting off his head. His remains were afterwards conveyed to Newgate.
