The King appeared mortified at what was doing, and said, " I have put all right" —the executioner, how ever, cut the hair off. When the executioner fiiewed his head to the people, cries of Vive la Nation ■> five la Republic J were heard on all fides, & several groups made ute of the following exprel fions—" VVe always wished Well to him, but he never wished well to ns!"

At Tunbridge Wells, on Friday, it was thought right to tie a figure, reprefeming the Writer of the Rights of Man, to a cart's tail, and flog hini through the town. In or der to give the whipping fcerie a better effetf, a man was concealed in the cart, who bellowed out lofti ly at every stroke, and well support ed the characfieriftic obstinacy of Paine ; for no f'mart, nor even the promise of mercy, could extort from him that ejaculation commonly used by criminals under flagellation, namely, " God save the King !" The figure was afterwards burnt, with the ceremony that has been observed in other places. A country carpenter, who ne gledted the making a gibbet, which was ordered by the executioner, 011 the ground that he had not been paid for a former one, gave so much ott'eucc, .h e next time the judge came into the tliftritf, he was sent for.
