Yesterday about 11 o’clock the malefactors in ihe east
wing of the new gaol made an attempt to break out; taking
advantage of the Doctor’s visiting them, as the Turnkey
was shutting the door of the east wing they rushed forward,
knocked him down and advanced towards the front gate;
by which time the Keepers, Capt. Whartpn, and others,
who were in the outer part of the gaol, flew to their arms,
which were prepared for an attempt of this kind, when they
fired on the ringleader, who would probably have killed
the Turnkey with the second stroke he was preparing to give
him with an axe he had picked uo. The Ihot took effeft
and he dropped, which intimidated the remainder, and they
fled to their cells. The culprit wounded died in less than
an hour. He is a fellow confined for money making. Not

afiailants, arid the {laughter became dreadful. The Captain

August 2. A fetter firm Genoa gives the following
account cf the capture of La Senfibfc:
“ I have to communicate to you a very difagreeall*
of pews. Buonaparte had sent Baraguey d’Hiliierr
with cifpatches for the Direftorv, and on tire oth lew?*
taken prisoner by an Engliilr frigate. Our veflel fought
very ill; the crew was composed of Afaltefe, a set of pol
troons, whom d’Hiliiers could not prevail upon to figh‘,
but by threatening to beat or run them through; we had
60 men killed; the Captain, who is a fool, did not per
ceive the enemy till they were within irmlket fiiot; we
were obliged to strike, as the Englifli were preparing to
board. D’Hiliiers was incensed at the Captain and crew*;
lie is not dangerously wounded, though his clothes were
pierced all over with balls; he had time to throw his dis
patches overboard. D’Hilliers and his Aids dc Camp were
taken to Gibraltar, where they now are, but they are to
be sent to London. We hope that the French Govern
ment will get hirh exchanged, which is his due; he fought
with an Englifli officer who attempted to take his fworo,
and vefufed to give it up but with his life. Citizen Collot,
who was likewise taken, has been released; he is going to
Paris, and will inform the Directory of this unfortunate
event. D’Hilliers is very well treated; nothing has been
taken from him.*’

preffions of joy at the fight of the Englifli, and treated tz
French nation with the grofleft terms of difrefpeft.
The French Consul demanded apaffport, and evefvper
fon known to be friendly to the French cause was obliged
to conceal himfelf.
Augujl 10. Very bad news has been received from t! t
Isle of France* It is not yet known what is the fubftar.
of it, but it is feared that one party In the island w ere d*
posed to surrender it to the Engliih.
Augujl {2. ’ No News has been received in Italy from
Buonaparte or Nelson. The general opinion there is tha
the former is gone to Egypt, and that the latter is in pur
suit of him. No intelligence will be probably received from
either f madron for 15 or 20 days.
