must con filler that matter in the light of a cool and deliberate maf -I'acre, and nothing else. The pre text that our unfortunate people were about t 6 break prison, is ab surd and ridiculous. Why should they attempt it r They were in momentary expeftation of being released and sent home—they were without money or clothes, and, in their escape, could only have ex posed themselves to (larvation for want of food ; or, what was worse, the b 4 tilh conscription or press gang! It is the molt Aunty fluff with which villains ever attempted to veil their crimes. And, besides, it appears that the hole in the wall spoken of, which the boys had picked to creep through to get their ball when it happened to fly over, led, not into the open ft reel or country, but im mediately into the soldiers barracks , where 1000 men were ported to guard, them ! Every one who re lates'me tale gives ir some new cir cumitance of horror. Some of those killed and wounded appear to have been literally butchered. - One poor fellow who had not been out of his quarters, was deliberately aimed at and killed, while raising a can or beer to his lips ! John Wash ington, after being feveiely wound ed, while begging for his life, was. ft nifti ‘d by the cold-blooded icoun drerf applying their muskets within fix inches of his head, and blowing T O out his brains. One of the offi cers (hewed his courage by chafing a boy of fourteen years old, and he roicaUy running him through the, body with his foot'd !

Another of the late prisoners fays, that so far from ah attempt at es cape being made, “ had the gates been thrown open scarce a Angle person of the five thousand would have Vleft the prifon”—and why (houla they ? What could they do ? Where find fubnlfence and fafety ? The 6th of April, 1815, will make a conspicuous figure in the chronology of crimes. The editor of the Columbian has publiined a lift of all who died in this depot during the war, and of those who entered the British ser vice in the vain hope of oettering their condition—the firft amounts to 331, the other to 210 Con trail the deaths that occurred with happened in the U. States.— The were 7,000 prisoners confined in the state of Massachusetts, alone, during the war, & more than 4,000 at one time—of the whole of these only three unwounded men died! The general average at Dartmoor cannot be esteemed at more than 4,000, yet 331 of them perished, though Dr. M*GraTH, the super intending physician, is univerlally spoken of by our people as one of the of men—as a gentleman, a philanthropist and a man of science!

Before the Tom-Bow line left Triftian de Cunha, capt. Biddle had nearly recovered from his wounds so as to be coiifidered out of danger. The Hornet (poke a neutral veffcl, two or three days before the aft ion, who informed of the peace, but Capt.
