quieu, wfio w’as employed to carry
off the young Napoleon from Vien
na—He went to Vienna under pre
tence of feeing his mother
the boy’g governess. The cdun
ter-adion of the plot has produced
the greatest conflernation at the
Court of Bonaparte, who had be
forehand announced the success of
the enterprize, which he believed
so certain, that equippages had been
already sent off to meet the Arch
duchels and her son.
Di stnrbances at Dartmoor
Prison. r
Friday last, a moft fericus affray
took place at Dartmoor Prison,
where the American prisoners of
war are confined. It appears that
the unfortunate prisoners who a
mount to 5 or GOOO, had recently
became extremely impatient to be
set at liberty, and aferibed their de
tention to Mr. Beaflely, their coun
tryman, who is agent tor American
prisoners of war in London. This
person they burnt in effigy on
Friday, and then proceeded to force
their way out of the prison. Capt,
Shortland, the resident British a
gent,, went in among them alone
and unarmed, to endeavor to pa
cify them, but a pistol was snapped
at him, and therefore the soldiers
fired among the insurgents, when
about 12 were killed and 30 woun
ed. A musket ball grazed Capt.
Shortland’s cheek. The profnpt
interference of the military quelled
the infurrection', and tranquility
was restored. One hundred addi
tional soldiers marched from Ply
mouth to Dartmoor in the course
of Friday, to reinforce the guard.
