Newgaro; which is the name of the State P. ison of Connteticut. is situated in the parish of Tut key Hills, in Granby. one mile and a half north west of the Meeting House. 'lt stands on a rise of ground. sloping to the west, on the west side of a consider ab e mountain. !she prosped from this eminence, to the west, is very pleasant (being variegated with numerous landscapes, in almost all their different varieties) and considerably extensive. On the east, the eye im nediately meets the monntain, and is pre sented with broken rock, and a barren soil The soi!, however, in the wighbourhood of the prison is g • ,J, and citisiv sted by enterprising and induarious people. A house of a S surishis ; farmer stands near the prism walls, and furnisi e. those who visit this wretched abode a convenient r sti tg ptice, and such ref/a-abrogates tbe'r :ircton. a cit. may require. The walls which est irzle the 1 r on, and beyond the I mite cf which n prisoner, at an/ tiro:., is per mitted to pass, r:. on an average, eleven and an hal to twelve 6 -et high, and two, or two and an hal.. thi-k. On the top of the w,ll, is a cement of pla . stet of Paris, a d in this are in-erted, as thick as possible, broken 1 s b .rtes. to prevent the con victs from Pu r i g t':e walls, or to impede their ex e rtions, shou.si to y, in any other way, attempt to pass them. The length of the wall from north to south, is one hundred and eighty-four feet, and frant east to west on • hundred and fifty-one feet ; it is built of ha d hewsce ne recur..ly laid in lime. the ground, :•n wh ch the wall stands, is a hard grave., w ,e.e it is n n tn.ei r opted by solid stone. Tl•e walls enclose t ree brick buildings, beside a hilts and coal which are built of wood. T ere is soon to be erefle s ano:' er brick building, for he convenience rf storm., t'ie nails, the iron, and the great variety of materials woich belong to the pris n; th s, when ereaed, will be called the store house The buildings just mentioned consist of the guard house, the nail house. and the work-shop. ihe guard-house (in which the keeper and guards reside) is one story high, forty feet in length, and thirty in breadta ; furnished wills rooms convenient for the purpose for which it is used. The nail house is also one story high, in length tnenty, and in breadth sixte n feet. he workshop in which the unhappy convicts perform their daily tasks, is one story high, thirty-five feet wide, and eighty eight and an half feet long. Within this building, on each side, are fire sires. with anvils, and all the convet.iences to. making nails. Between these fires. is a siace sufli : iently large for the guard to pass and repas;. ~nd for those whl carry coal, and in other respeet. wait upon those who are confined to making nails. Tae subterranean vault over which this place is built, was wrought about the middle of the I 7th cen tury, for :lie purpose of okaini g copper ores it has, however, 4:engem:rally tt• ough t th At the profits of the ore. did rot compens:oe for tie expence and labour of procuring it. The descent into this dark and Liieety vault is ir. the northwest corner of the guard Is its... l'he first dessent opens by a trap-door on the floor of toe ;louse, into what is caned the north ss ne-ruont, eight feet in brea.'l, fourteen feet in I mr:th. and about seven feet in height. immedi ately upan desceriiag into this room, the trio-door fails. a.. 1 B truss, at once. to forisid escape. Direaly from tins is another apartment, called the south panne-room. singer. long and fifteen broad : in thi; room is a conven:cot Are place, and it assigned for me u,e inv...l3s. In the ior of the north sr n is i•i.e 'zed another trap-door, which opar i• • eo the cavern. I he descent is oa a drier five and thirty feet in •;1•., throuJh an itoing two feet and an half • al fact bro ?. 1 he !swoon who Meer has • ed ladde unavoidably shrinks from • till, I,y •. sk:ol3. aid :!se assurance ca . I•e zr,nvi I tliat there is no danger. as well as the whole cavern. is involved in tool dankness; cons;quently ! those who visit this subterranean region, must he furnished with artificial lights. The guide usually sfirst descends the ladder, carrying with him a can dle, and those who follow, carry with them a suffi cient number of candles, to render ;heir passage plain and safe. From the foot of the ladder, the passage F radually, though very variously, descends and is of various dimensions ; sometimes very nar row and low, obliging the passenger to stoop, and at other places large and spacious. Thirty feet from the ladder, on the left, as passing into the Ca vern, stands the first cabin or sleeping room ; seven feet fr m this, on the right side of the middle pas sage, stands the other cabin, each about fifteen feet square. These are the only lodging places for the prisoners, except on some particular occasion, in which the sick or some privileged one is permitted to lodge in the south-stone-room In each cabin there is an alley passing through the middle, on each side t which the prisoner sleeps. Their beds con sist of boards, raised above the bottom of the ca vein about one foot and a hal., with straw thrown hthem, and in the cold season a few blankets; ere u:sally supplied with froth Maw nape in eight or ten 'days. Direelly from the second cabin, a passage, with va: ions windings and compressions. leads to the well, which is 125 feet distant Enid] the foot of the perpen.licular descent. The passage which ones dire6ly between the cabins, and is gilled the middle passage or shaft, leads to a spacious vault or open ing. called the sounding-room; which is supposed to be twelve feet long and ten wide. This part of the cavern is with propriety called the sounding room. 'fhe sound of the voice in common conver sation, is reverberated with peculiar majesty;-but in singing, especially low bass, the voice re. bounds, and undulates through the cavern with astonishing grandeur. Direaly to the left of the first cabin, a passage called the blind shaft, leads to an opening of about five feet diameter, and 2, or 30in height, which reaches nearly to the sur face of the earth. The earth is prevented from falling in, by a large bar of iron extended across the shaft. Attempts have been made by the prisoners to efFea their escape through this passage, by sawing off die bar jist mentioned, though immediate death must be the lot of those engaged in sawing it off. The prison -well, which was just meati"ried, is about 71. feet from the surface of the water ; the water is usualiy about two feet deep. This well is abundantly supplied with cool, sweet, refreshing water, in the driest season. East from the sell, and lower than the surface of the water in the well, is a considzrably large pond ; its lengtb and breadth have never yet been accurately ascertained; its depth has never b:en fathomed. The water is clear, ssalt some, and refreshing. A stone, when thrown intAhis pond,c ones a violent and terns lying noise.rolling and rumbling like distant thunder. The sound continues different lengths of time, and is very piercing, and most deafening to those who stand near by it. The whole of this cavetif, in the driest seasons, is damp, the water constantly dropping from its walls ; in the wet seasons, it is so filled with water, as to render it impossible to explore all its parts. Nntwithstand mg this continual dampness in the air, the prisoners receive no injury by sleeping in the cavern. at all seasons. We will now quit this hollow, gloomy re cess, and review the prisoners as engaged in their daily business. They are taken two by two, from their nightly lodging in the cavern, and condulted at the point of the bayonet. to the work-shops, and find at their respeeive places. 'fibs is usually done as soon as day light appears in the morning. In this showings they are kept. not being permitted to leave their blocks on any pretence whatever, till sun -set; then they are mon:Jutted in the same manner as they were taken oot. to their lodgings in the cavern. Their task is stated, and is the same for all. Each prisoner is obliged to do so much; and if he ac complishes it in six hours or in two, he isnot com tlto ao more, but is permitted to sit by his c e l l t i , an idle spedator of his fellow convilts, who are still sweating over their anvils. Their day's work is now :east nine pounds of eightpenny nails, eleven pounds of tenpenny, and fifteen pounds of twentypenny nails. Nailing is the principal busi ness of the prison; though they repair their own tools, and, as people call, d-s some country work. The prisoners are not all of them confined to the making of nails. Some are put to wait upon the rest, to assist in cooking, to carry coal. water, &c. 3cc. But those who are enraged in this business have some part of the guard following them in all their directions. They are also shackled with a chain fastened to the ancle, and mending t a string or band, which is bound around their waists. Their food, which is a certain allowance to cad, in dividual. is gi mu to them. all at one time, and they are left to eat it in such a manner. and at such time; as they choose. It is prepared in a wholesome manner, and is thonght to be amply sufficient to support them well. Some of the priomers are also set to making shoes and boots, and to make and mend clothes; but this is not the constant employ- Swot of any. The guard of the prison consists of the keeper. and twelve privates. The keeper has the superin tendAnce of the whole. The guard are constantly on duty, both d sy and night. In the night, bit two ten:ries are upon patrole at a time, and they are relieved ”;,en in an hour and an half. As is usual in garrisons of this kind, the ccntry at stated intervals cries 'd All is well.” Daring the day, there are also two centric' a: a time, who guard the door of the work-shop, and are relieved once in two hours. But besides these, are some engaged in fol lowing than, who wait. Constant vigilance is ne cessary on the part of the centinels, as the cowries are artfully watching every opportunity. to rise upon the guard, and snake their escape. Chose convicts who are cnravd in nail making, are shackled a:4l chained to their blocks. A riag or band of iron bound around eath ancle, with a stiff bar about sixteen inches in length s and a chain passing from this bar to the block, form the manner in which they are generally confided. Some; how ever, here a chain passing from this bar, to *band or suing around their bodies ; and those wisp are the most refratory, have an additional hand übmit their necks, with a chain passing from this and fastened to a beans six or eight feet above them .: In such a situation, they are obliged to perfnrrn their daily tasks, without the least proped of their being lessened, or in any reaped of their situation being bettered till their time of condemnation be expired. The number of convids now in prison is thirty eight. Four of this number are put in prison for life; the rest for periods of different leugtlis. rhe time of a for will soon expire. ; others hare several year' to drag out in this " conifoitless" mosie of eristence ; but four, as observed above, must spend the remainder of their days their souls most take their flight to eternity, while confined to this dreary abode, this emblem of the region of the deal. No person of feeling can visit this prisvn, without the stronges t em o t i o ns of pity, sympathy, sorrow, and. regret. On Approaching the prison walls, the sound ref their hammess in the work-shop, cormedado with the idea that it is the abode of erimitsals,; excites emotions of terror. On entering within. the walls, and passing to the door of the work shops, the eye is fir%t presented with the ceetinels, who pass and repass each other in the distance of about twelve feet, diredly before the door. The next objea is the unhappy prisoners, sweating over their fires. Some decently clad, some with their clothes tatteredana torn, and others half naked, With the living sparks of their nailrods lodging and hissing upon their naked bodies. There is a very great diversity in the appearance of the prisoner , . in the countenances of some may he read almost all the malignant passions, bearing in their front the ferocity and malice of fiends. They appear ready to execute any purpose, ever so horrid and triust.—Hut there are others who wear a very p4tsant countenance, appeariug to possess very amiable dispositions. I cannot but believe that there are many now in this prison who possess such a disixsition, but have been duped std led astray by the intriguing. Many have doubted the expediency of ssich pri sons. It is granted that there are few instances in which risoners have been reformed by such cootine ments : but it keeps them from committing delve datons upon society while they are confined . ; sod they serve as pu'olic examples to deter others from the commission of the like crimes. "the prisoners confined in Nlwgate. I apprehend. are not treated more severely than their crusts de. scree; but it might answer a benevolent purpo4; should the state furnish them with religious instrnc tions on the Sabbath Toni M. Chron. JIM' 14.) FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, JULY en. Monnier, the admini!trater of one of the Theatre& at Paris, and who, in an inconceivable da Of frenzy, attempted to destroy himself in the horse-market, died the day before yesterday, in consequence of his wounds, after an agony of fifty-four bouts: His death has caused great regret to an persons with whom he was acquainted. A letter, insetted in a Journal;aftributes his suicide to the pleadings of his opponents in a law-suit, in which lie was engaged. The following note was found upon h:s writing desk, hi the middle of the papers ri hit Itw suit : , 4 Adieu, my dear, tender, arid respeftable wife ! Adieu, my children; adieu, try father; adieu, my friends, my proteaors, and my comrades ! lam much to blame towards you; but I am net to blame in this unfortunate affair." The Hamburgh police, in the hands of its sol diers, is the most brutal in Europe ; and it it a see. rice done not only to Frenchmen, but to travellers of all nations, to oblige its senators and syndics to aa with more liberality, or at least justice and cir cumspeftion, towards foreigners. At Hamburg/a, where the populace are more Insolent than even in England, a Frenchman, an Italian, a Russian, an Englishman, or persons of any nation, whose ac cents discover them not to be Germans, are always ill-treated, and beaten with Ic-Res poles by the Ham burgh soldiers, if they happen to have any disagree ment with the inhabi ants ; and, if they afterwards complain to the Syndics, they are otien fined into the bargain. Their prejudices again s foreiguers are excessive and ungenerous. According to the last news from St. Do. mingo, Denalines has no more - than t), or to the utmost 45,000 men able to carry arms. He has very few means to keep them up, and to procure them subsistence; they are therefore wretchedly fed, and worse cloathed. An herring and half a pound of bread, are the , r only nourish. ment ; they obtain no pay. The plantations do not furnish great succours. Most of them have berm laid waste, and are deserted. Dessalines is in expeaation that the French will attempt to recon quer St. Domingo, and it is on this supposition that he destroys all the fortifications, and on the ap proach of the French, he intends with his negrues to retreat to the most inaccessible pans, carrying with them there, after burning all the towns and places they have evacuated, the most part cf their pre petty and valnables.-••( joasmal dc Ccrowyrcr.)
