Extraft ofa Letter from Mr. Andrew Thomplon, /ate of this Tewn, to bis Father kere ; dated at London, March 9, 1761. «T~OUR Weeks after our Departure from New- York in the Briganiine Audre, Capt. Lawrence, we were taken by a French privateer of 14 Guns. Our Captain and people were immediaely carried on board the privateer, leaving in our Brig a young Lad who was a paflenger, and mylelf : they then put twelve Frenchmen on board us, and two Englith Seamen, prifoners, to affilt them to carry the Veflel into Bay- onne, to which place the privateer belonged. After being in their poflellion 14 Days (with the sffiftance of thefe two, which made in sll 4 of us) we fell uvpon them about g at Night, with an Ax, two Adzes and a piftol : We foon grined the pofleflion of the Cabbin, leaving that of the Deckstothem : they barred us down all Night. About Nine next Morning, we put a brace of piftol Balls through onc of their principal Seamen, on which they immediatlely called for Quarters, which we granted ; atthe fame Time ordering them all up into the Fore top, and fo bound them one after another as we allowed them to come down—And after having them in pofleflion 10 Days, we, to our great Joy, arriv- ed fafe at Plymounth. “In this AQtion we killed Three of the Frenchmen, and wounded Six. There were none of us hurt but myfelf, by being a liitle too forward in the beinning of the Attack, however, smina man- ner recovered, except a Cut over my left Eye with a Cutlafs, —— We brought Nine Frenchmen into ' Ply- mouth, who are now in that Goal, allalive and well.— When we were firft taken the Frenchmen ftripped me of every Thing, even to my Shoe-Buckles, fo have loft Cheft, Money, Cloaths, &c, ss they were all carried on board the privateer : However, expeét our Lofs .w1ll be made up, having already had the offer of a Lieut- ensncy, which tho’t proper to refufe Befides the above, a Gentleman writes Mr. Thom- fon from New York, that the Four were introduced to the Lords of the Admiralty, from whom they re- ceived Thanks and a Gold Medal, for their Gallant Behaviour.

Yefterday Theodore Gardelle, 2 French- man, was re examined bciore John F ielding, 'P:ul Vailant and Theodore Sydenham, Ef(grs. at Mr. Field- ing’s houfe, touching the wilful murder of Mrs. Ann King, late of Leicefter {quare, in whofe hou{c tl}e faid Gardelle was a lodger, when during an examination of many hours, the faid Gardelle perfilted in denying the fa& with the moft invincible obftinacy ; but Mr Field- ing having prior to the examination, fent officers with a i carpenter and bricklayer to the houfe of the decesfed; with orders to'eksmine every part.of it in order to find the body ; after {ome time, received a meflenger from them scquainting him that théy bad found the intraiis of the body in the boghoufe ; which meflage beirg de livered in the prefence of the prifoner, foon occsfioned his making & partial conteflion of the horid crime,which was afterwards made in the fulle manner on warrants being iffued againit two of his accomplices, who fince appeared to be very innocent, and to the following pur- port, viz. That on Thur{day the 1gth of February laft, about feven in the morning, he, Gardelle, having fent Mrs. King’s maid of a maflage,and her miftre{s not being up, he agreed to wait in the front parlour till the fervant’s return, in order to sniwer the ftreet door ; that Mrs King lodged upon the fame floor, and in the maid’s ab- fence was getting up and fpoke to the priloner, where- upon he rufhed into the room, and attempted to force the decealed, fo that fhe ftruck him, whereupon he gave her aviolent blow, which fiunn’d her by falling againft the bed- poit ; that feeing her thus injured, he took = knife out of his pocket and cut her thoat, then locked up the room, and the fame day artfully difcharged the maid, of the deceafed without a difcovery, by which he got pofeflion of the whole houfe ; he then diffected the body, and divided it into many parts ; that ng the entralls down the neceflary, together with the'Xnifg with which he committed the murder ; that he them made a fire in the garret, and there burnt the head and moft of her bones to athes, and concealed the flefh at the top })F ths houfe, between the tiles and roof, all which were ound. The faid Gardelle is by trade sn Enammel painter, and in the courfe of the examination, it sppeared that he had robbed Mrs. King of a gold watch, two dismond rings, and sbout ten guineas in money, which he having lodged in the hands of honeft perfons, they produced them as evidences againft him. It is faid he has a wife and two children now in Paris, He is in the cells in Newgate, chained down to the fleor, and one of the turnkeys is to fit up with him every night to prevent his deftroying himfelf. Gardelle, the horrid affaflin now in Newgate for the murder of Mrs King, has confeffed his taking her watch, but gives an odd turn to that circumftance ; he fays his reafon for doing fo was, in order to countenance the report he had pread of her being gone abroad for fome days. . He very frankly owns the'murder, with all the dreadful circumftances that followed it, but appears un- willing to confels sny defign of theft. Strange ! thate man, who could calmly and deliberately go through an operation upon a body of a' woman he had juft murdered, fhould have fuch miftsken notions of delicacy as to be athamed of theft. The fa&, with all its circumftances confidered, is, perhaps, the moft foul that ever difgraced the annals of Britain, who, it is hoped will never give birth to fuch a monfter. ' The too common ples of liquor, or a dilordered mind,is not {o much as pleaded ; the horrid deed was committed in the morning as the unhappy Woman was rifing from her bed, and but half drefled ; the plea of paflion might have fome clsim to pity, did not the fublequent, calm, deliberate {cene of villainy bar the gates of it ; the wretch is neither a Frenchmen not a Genoefe, but was born in the city of Geneva, well known for its fituation on theLake Leman, near the foot of the Alps; he is, as all the natives of that city are, a proteftant, and is attended by a French Clergyman of that prefuafion. March 14. Gardelle, now in confinement for the murder of Mrs. King, being, it is faid, atked why he did not attempt making his efcape, -after committing that fhocking faét, as he had fo fair an opportunity ? an({weyed, that he had often attempted it, but conftantly imagied himfelf flopped at the door, by fomebody holding him by the collar of his coat. Laft Sunday was fe’nnight, a poor woman in White- chapel, diforder’d in her mind, cut her throat, on which a furgeon was fent for, who fewed it up. After which he went to lay on a blifter on a gentiewoman near Spital- field market, who was extremely ill ; and while he was laying it on, begged her excule for not coming fooner, and told her the occafion of his ftay was to few up the poor woman’s throat ; which had -then no feeming eff.&t on the lady : but in the evening, beingleft to her felf for few minutes by her attendants, fhe took that cpportunity and cut her own throat with fuch refolution, as almoft to [ever her head from her body.
