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.

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 “ A wit’s a feather and a Chief’s a rod, An honest man’s the Noblest work of God.”
