FOREIGN NEWS.
From Niles ’ Weekly Register.
Latest from Franee.
By an arrival at Philadelphia we
have Paris dates to the 1 2th of May.
No war yet. The emperor had not
left Paris, aiid it was not expeded
that he would until after the 20th.
France seems entirely tranquil, and
ardently devoted to national inde
pendence. The frontiers are lined
with troops, and the militia, called
out eh made, have every where ex
prtfled their determination to rally
round the tri-colored flag. They
are equipping themselves with great
alacrity, and by private contribu
tions greatly facilitating the march
of the whole population to the polt
of honor. If these things be true
—the allies will not irnpofe a king
on the French people.
Napoleon is laid to be in treaty
with Austria. Marmont , duke of
Ragufa, is reported to have com
mand of the Spanish troops destined
to aid against France. An article
from Lille lays, that the duke of
Wellington had iflfutd a proclamation
forbid.ling his soldiers to enter the
French territory on pain of death.
I he intercourse between France &
England continued without the
lealt interruption, as in times of
profound peace; and merchant vef
lels were failing from the various
French pouts as usual. No Britifli
cruizers were to be seen.
The fifheries were continued Bo
naparte seems to feel lmnfelf ftrdng
enough for the expected contest
and appears ready for it—but as if
waiting to let the allies be the ag.
greffors. But every m:>merit of
lime is busily employed, and made
the molt of to add to the defences
of the country. I’he French pa
pers diferedit the reports from Italy
as to the defeat of Murat.
It is veiy uncertain when hostili
ties will begin. May the philan
thropift hope that the great powers,
finding Napoleon bolltered on the
throne by the whole nation of
France, will abandon the idea of
dictating a ruler for them ?
The voluntary connibutions had
the greatest eiFed. One depart
ment had railed the fun oi 200,000
francs towards clothing its militia;
every town had come forward with
similar donations ; and from every
part of the country, addrefles’ of
refped. fidelity and fubmillion were
prefeuted to the eniperor.
Paris, May 2.
The bankers of M de Blacas
have, it is said, given 500,000
franks to the English journal.ft, the
Con rhr. to ‘write against France.
This delicate journa iff was very
Ditch offended because they offered
him 10,000 louts, at firft.
THE SUBSCRIBERS.

From the Democratic Press.
Dartmoor Reader !If you are
an American, swear eternal hatred !
if an K.nglifhman, tremble—but if
French, Spaniard, Dane, Swede,
German, or whatever other nation
you may be, cominifferate and fym
pathife with us. You too have felt
the efteds of Britifli perfidy ; our
cause is yours ; it is the cause of
humanity. Weep with us! feel
for us !
i'he maffacree of Dartmoor is an
event of no common fort ; it is
marked with features which differ
from all others, and presents to us
an afped horrible as hell. Read,
Americans, read over and over the
extrad from the journal of Mr.
Andrews, and the report, on oath,
of the American prisoners Read
and weep for the injuries of your
differing countrymen ; Tut, while
you filed the tear of pity over the
fail and simple story of their wrongs,
swear to avenge them ; let those
feelings defeend to your children,
and to your children’s children,
until that nation {hall be no more.
Inltrud them to lisp the hiftoryof
that horrible event, and as they
gristle into manhood teach them to
hate these English—Let a period of
folenin mourning be appointed, let
the anniversary of the 6th of April
be marked by humiliation and
prayer for the fouls of our fellow
citizens thus hurried into eternity.
Let us never forget it, and never
forgive it until atonement is made
and their names appeased. A
tonenient ! and what atonement
can be made? “Will the death of
the infamous Shortland restore to
us our slaughtered countrymen ?
will it atone for the injury we have
received ? But u r e should not view
this as an aft of Shortland only, it
is the a6l of the British nation ; it
(hews their feelings towards us ; it
is placing their hatred beyond all
doubt. I'he attack on the Chesa
peake was a mere trifle when com
pared to this ; the cruelties of
Hampton, Havre de Grace & Tip
pacannoe chivalric and virtuous—
the murder of our citizens on our
frontiers humane—attacks on our
vefftls while in neutral ports just,
and continuing the slaughter alter
the lurrender merciful, compared
to this. This is an ad of the Bri
tifli nation ; the others were the
ads of particular commanders.
A British fleer, in time of peace,
i hearing the news of their disgrace
| at New Orleans, conceives the de
sign of glutting his hatred with the
blood of unarmed and defencelefs
Americans; a British Soldiery are
the willing executioners of his
wishes, and within the walls or a
British prison , the hell-hounds pur
sue and immolate their victims with
a fury never before equalled.-
Neither circumstances, filtration,
nor years could lave them ; the
feeble and trembling wretch re
duced by sickness and long confine
ment and fufferings, pleads in vain
for mercy, nor does the innocent
youth {hare a different fate ! They
plead to Britons ? —Ail! all inn ft
perish until British hatred is gorg
ed with blood. What does the
British nation l Is Short'and con
fined ? No! he is permitted to
roam at large. It is requested by a
Britifli colonel, that he (Shortland)
may be allowed to make explana
tions. The requ.;ft is refilled with
disdain. An inquest is held by
sixteen British yeomen , and their
decision is justifiable, homicide
A British Admiral and captain
were also appointed to invefti-ue
the affair, and their decision w, nt
to a, quit Capt Shortland of blame!
British prints call it a difturhan ~e,
a disagreeable affair, an unpieafant
occurrence, and none pretend to
censure in the flighted degree Cap
tain Shortland or his afliftant furies!
to the contrary, they all attempt to
juftify him. This then becomes
an add of the British nation , and
molt strongly evinces their invete
rate hatred to us. We have here
a specimen of the feelings of the
army, the yeomanry, and the navy
of England, and as the government
has not offered to atone for the
outrage (if we wanted any thing to
convince us of its feelings towards
us) this should fatisfy us of its dead
ly hate. Although as an execu
tioner we cannot help detesting
Captain Shortland, vet we ought
not to attach to him the whole of
the guilt: he knew the temper &
fedings of the British government
toward our country, and he well
knew that his conduct would be
applauded. He saw in these un
armed and defencelefs men victims
to appease the fury of the British
Lion for the difgracts heaped on
him by our gallant sailors and sol
diers ! he knew thatfhips were on
their way to take them to their
own country ; a few days mud de
prive him of the opportunity ; this
was likely to be the last that would
ever offer, and the blood-hound de
liberately entered into the execu
tion of his (probably) long medi
tated scheme, and his explots were
too fuccefsful.
lhe blood of Englifhtnen only
can atone for the blood thus wan
tonly shed. We should not seek
the mean, the dastardly revenge of
Britains : Americans are more
magnanimous: ‘'■Americans never
murder their prisoners.” Let us
meet them as we have met them
before, on the ocean, on the lakes,
at Erie, at Chippewa, Bridgewater,
at Plattsburgh and at New-Orleans.
Let us meet them {hip for ship, man
for man, and let the watchword be
DARTMOOR!
DARTMOOR.
The nefwpapers teem with de
tails of the {hocking mafiacre of
our people in this depot, by the in
famous Shortland Every thing we
fee goes to substantiate the flate
ments published in our last, and we

Chief’s a rod,
