HALIFAX, . ... , J which the back of the chair was gar. An Historical account of the torturing of fished. Molai raised his eyes to hea the Kmghfs Templars. : j yen, but did not utter a word, a shriek On his entrance into the - Hall of or. even a groan. His breath came Tortures; Philip of France seated whistling from his crushed and woun himself in a large arm chair of crim- ded chest, and the blood flowed in tor son velvet, the only ornament of this rents from his shoulders on the shining uiuaire oi me cruelty and barbarity ot iuei4tii century. .Knguarraud and me ;omer nobles ot this train were seated behind him, on benches .so coarsely and carelessly made that save i . i i tor the want of blood upon them they miirlit easilv have heon muinLn for instruments of torture. The v a u m a kinjr commanded the culprits to be brought Kr i.- I- , . 3 uciuic ijuu, ureuing in uis eagerness to make them acknowledge their crimes, that even their confession could not blind him to the motive which, urged him to persecute them. A side door suddenly opened, and pro ceded by their jailor, six Teraplars entered ilie hall of their doom. Jac ques Molai entered at their head. He bowed to the king, as did bis com panions with the exception of one, who passed proudly in front of the king and his train, and sealed himself on a bench near them. Philip pretended not to see him; and seemed hesitating whether or not to return the; salutes made to him by the others who came slowly, one by one, through the dark and narrow door. AH was calm and silent in that dismal, hall. At last the king spbke'Let those knights," said ha, 'who have made a sincere confession of their crimes, and have thus obtained their liberty, repeat here, in the presence of their God and of their kiug, what they have already confessed in private, that it may be known that no worldly thoughts or feelings have urged us to this trial. Our sole object is the honor and glory, of the church." " Some of, the prison ers raised their eyes to the face of the king, as he made this hypocritical -speech, but instanly cast them again to the ground. Flamel touched his friend's elbow, and he raising his voice to its utmost pitch, exclaimed, I Guillen de Boisne, Knight of the Temple, declare the or der of the Knights Temple uuworthy of existence, and infamous; for felony, impiety, blasphemy, and crimes of ev ery kind."- f "May the God of truth confound thee!" exclaimed the Grand: Master. The enraged Boisne, "May all the. devils in heli seize" replie.d "Silence!" cried Philip, j Molai, wait till thou art questioned, oi rather see if, among the Knights who accom pany thee-, there are none likely to make the confession" I require? if not tortures must extraet it." !! "There are none here who fear thy tortures," replied the Grand master calmly. " . "Thy boast shall not avail thee," replied Philip. "Thou thyself shall if the executioner understands! bis bu siness: Drag Molai lo the torture!" The Grand Master gave the king one glance of supreme contempt, zind exclaimed with fervor, "God grant me strength to bear this trial." A yellow curtain at the bottom of the ball drew up with a horrid creeking noise, and in the midst of wheels, racks, saws, screws and other fearful instruments, stood a half-naked man, huming the tune of a drinking song, and greasing a sort ot yellow and dirty Jard, the screws and hinges 'of the diflerent machines. He edicd for one moment stupidly and vacantly around him, and then conutined his occupation Among the assembled persons in that hall some turned : away " their heads, others shuddered, while Flamel smiled and pressed the hand of Guillen de Boisne, who considered himself most happy in having escaped from the tortures which now threatened j the ill-1 fated Urand Master of the lemplars. '.'Choose,'' crie"d Philip, confess thy crimes or seat thyself in that iron chair. Molai did not even answerhim, but calmly Si proudly sat himself down in the dreadful chair. The execu tioner rudely tore off the white mantle which covered the shoulders ; of the Templar; he then touched a springy and two large iron hooks twisted the feet of Molai, while six long bars, of the same metal, . disposed in triangles, crossed in bis chest and passed his na ked shoulders on the sharp pomtsSvitb JLL M2Ao N. C. AUGUST O, 'and polished instrument of his torture. 1 "Speak," cried Philip. "I am in- nocent," replied Molai, m a faint and falteriug voice. "Sir," whispered Euguerrand, "he will never confess." "Take him away," said King Philip, "another one less resolute will speak;" and Molai released from the iron bars which were crushing his chest, breath ed freely once more. While the grand master was seated in tne accursed chair, one of the younger Knights had shed tears, .and wheu he was released from the torture the youthful Templar exclaimed "God be praised." Phil ip now turned to him and said "What is thy name;'? Pierre de Vil leneuve," cominued the King, "thou wilt prove less obstinate than thy Grand Master, and tortures will foice thee at least to confess." "Thou art mistaken," replied the Templar. "Drag him to the torture," cried the infuriated monarch. "Mv lieere," said a voice, "it is the same to you" which of us,submits to the torture," jVour aim being only to enjoy the sufferings of a Knight. My brother is young, ex hausted by imprisonment, hunger and care, c to curtail his suffering he may betray bis honor. Let me be tortur ed in his place. My name is Fulk de TVacy." "No, no, my brother," e'ager lv replied young Villeneuve; '.'do not doubt my constancy. Executioner do thy dny;" aml le advanced towards the yd W curtain. tHe is very voting, whisPercd Marirny to the King, 'hecanl,tjt bear the torfure long.' 'So much the better Marigny,' replied the King 'he will conress the sooner.' And thoe words were pronounced in such a terrible tone of voice, that the astounded minister did not venture on another whisper, during the whole tri al. The eyes of the King sparkled with rnjrc; and tnis same prince "who had consented so reluctantly to wit ness this dreadful scene, seemed now determined to exhaust all the resour ces of cruelty, as if to appease his con he had listened only to the voire! of justice. 'Pierre de Villeneuve' he said, 'it is not yet too late." The young man trazed "at him disdainfolty, nd made rto reply. The execution er instantly seizea him and bound him on a machine called the cross of St; Andrew. It consisted of two beams laid crossways and almost at right angles. On the limbs of this dread ful cross the executioner bound the na ked arms and leers of the young Tem plar, and then slowly turned a winch that set in motion a small, sharp pointed lance wnich penetrated the loins of the sufferer. The execution er stopped' one moment to give the King time to interrogate hisr victim while the lance had already penetra- i iited between the cartilanes -which un ite the vertebrae. 'Speak, cried Philip. Pierre de Villeneuve opened his mouth slowly, and from his purple lips came forth in short and feeble accent, 'not guilty.' 'Go on, go on,' exclaimed the Kinsr, enracce'd at so much resolu tion and fortitude. The executioner again turned thewinrh, the lance rose by degrees, till suddenly the Knight gave a shriek, shuck the St. Andre.w's cross with great violence, and the ter rible and bloody lance breaking his bones like so much glass, penetrated into his bosom. The youthful Temp-1 lar closed his eyes, and his head fell on his shoulder. -My brother, my brother, shrieked Fulk de Tracy, ye have murdered him. 'Why did he not confess then,' said Philip, care fully averting his eyes while the exe- cutioner unbound the corpse of the'TIie Jastices r Labarras County ill-fated Pierre, and bore it away on I Court, held at Concord on Monday, his shoulder, leaving a long track of tIie 16ln inslant resolved, that after blood behind him.

He was remarkably tall and stroiig, and during the whole execution had kept his large black eyts, art htd by k-n thick and grisly eyebrows full on the king. Irritated by his bold bearing, Philip ordered him to be tortured, 'Thank you,' said the Trmpla,r 'I bet gaii to think that you had forgotten me. .Let me expire under the samo torture which killed - Villeneuve. I loved him as my son. I firsttaufrht him to wield the lance let irvhlood be mingled with his, and I ask no more.' 'No, no replied the king. 'by Our Lady that would be too easy a death for thee; 'Every bone in thy body shall beroken ere thine res close on the light xf day. 'As you will,' replied Beaufreemond, but I thought as I had shed so much blood in the cause of Christianity, that I might have chosen where and how to shed the last drops that flow in these old veins of mine. Tie him to the clock,' exclaimed Philip. This of al the tortures, was the most dreadful. The sufferer was suspended between two beams, and above him ' swum? art immense leaden weight, which at reg ular intervals fell and crushed one of of the limbs of the victim The exe-" cutioner tried to drag this runchino into the centre of the room, but it was so heavy as to resist all his efforts to stir it. Beaufremond sprang up. and with one firm grasp dmr the immense, apparatus into th middle of the hajl. Astonished by the exhibition tif strength, the executioner looked upon -this vic'.im as a supernatural beinr, &5 if Beaufreemond had only gien him; one glance of his bright black . eyes, he would never have' dared -to touch him. Observing1 bis hesitation, the Knight placed himself without assis-? tance on the dren-lful machine, and the weight began to move reguWJy above bis Iiead. He had time to con fess before it reached a large black spot, whence it was to fall on one of his limbs. 'Look at. that" Weight,' said Philip. No answer. Remem ber that when it touches the black spot it fall's rontinued the monarch. No answer, but.the bright black eve3 remained fixed on the Kintr's face. Suddenlv the weight touched the black spot it fell, and crushed ihe. Toin-r plar's leg. I have one more leg at your, service,' said Beaufreemond, firmly and proudly, and still garing intently onthe king. 'Bear hirn hence,' cried Philip, and startinir up, as if to avoid the graze of his victim, he left the hall, called for his horse, d r.df, the palace. Ma, ricrnv loiiowed mm: ana nue were left in the Hall but John Flamel, the legate of the Pope, and those Tem plars who had confessed.

VFhe prisoners were reconduc ted to their cells, and John Flanjel announced to the crowd yrithout the prison, that the confessions had been complete and entire, and that in a few days the King's pleasure and justice would be known.
