Concerning the fate of Mr. Palm,* whom we stated formerly to have been shot at Brannau, we find many persons unwilling to credit the report: they think it more atrocious than any act of French tyranny; and it may be so, as long as it is the last. As to the proof of the fact, those who know the enslaved state of the Hanburgh press will be satisfied with having read in it, at different times, the account of the arrest of Palm, and of his being conveyed to Brannau; then a statement that Mr. Palm, who lost his life at Brannau, has left five children; and elsewhere again, it is said that Mr. Palm has suffered a dreadful punishment at Brannau. The same paper mentions a decree of Napoleon, proclaiming the inviolability of the territory of the confederation of the Rhine, to which Nuremberg belongs.

* In a translation from a French paper we lately noticed the condemnation of this unfortunate man with some others, by one of the French bloody tribunals.
