It was stated in the Newspapers, a few months

Holland, by the jealous vile of a rich Burgomaster.
Some of the Papers, in the early part of the pre-

FIRE AT PO -lON PRISO.V.

Goitrous, JOLT 2e.
This afternoon, a fire brelce out is the old build-
ings of Ow! Fat ttlfl Prison, near Gospett. These
buildings are undergoing a thorough repair for the
accommodation of French prisoners, and the fire is
suppo ed to have been occasioned by the boiling over
of a quantity of pitch in the wen kshop. Nearly the
whole buildings are consumed, and the fire still
continues to rsge with great violence.
A greet number of prisoners have, within the last
two or three days, been sent to tba New Buildings
adjoining these, many of whom have msde.their
escape, and the rest are-highly delighted with the
idea of obtaining an opportunity of f flowing their
companions. I'he East Kent Milian, together with
the Gosport Volunteers, fare very eetive in guard-
ing them, and in assisting, to extinguish the are, as
soon as they could arrive on ihe spot.
The wind, which blows strong, is very fevonrable
for the houses contiguous, so t ,r.r the lire has hems
confined to the prison. Fortunately, the tide has
been op this afternoon, or the whole of the buildings
must, ere now, have been entirely burnt down, as
they are construCted of wood, and are at present very
old and dry.
