WARSAW, Capital of Poland, Sept. 11.

Yesterday Lukawski and Cybulski were executed: they were brought to the place of execution the same way they had obliged the King to go in the night of the 3d of Nov. guarded by all the guards of the Crown, and a strong detachment of Ulans: they were both dressed in white, went in separate waggons, and two Capuchins with them. In another waggon were Kosinski, Offenberg, and Perezinski, who with Lukawski's wife, were all to be present at the execution. Kosinski was in tears all the way he went. Lukawski ascended the scaffold first, with great fortitude, and, to the astonishment of every body present, made a very affecting speech, wherein he confessed his guilt, & hoped for pardon: after which he sat down on the chair, and would not have any thing tied over his eyes, but holding his head as upright as he could, gave the signal for the blow, which followed immediately; after which his hands were cut off, his body opened, and the insides put in a bag, then quartered and burnt. Cybulski who was obliged to be a spectator of all this, then mounted the scaffold, and sat down in the chair, where his head was like wise taken off, and his body suffered to be buried. The executioner, who was sent far out of Ermeland, made a speech to the people, and particularly addressed himself to the elder part of the spectators, advising them to be careful of to bring up their children, that they might never come to the unhappy end of the late unfortunate wretches whom he had just executed. Lastly, the names of the two who died in prison, Tubaloytz and Hegwezewski, were hung up at the gallows.
