Pmus, JA,V. 3,-I:he official journal of this day
contains the following Report, addressed to his
Majesty the Duperor, by his Excellency the 111 i,
nkter of Uurine

" Paris, Sept. 12.
". Sum—The•Commissioners of the Transport
Office addressed, on the 17th of last month, to
the Chief of the sth division of my Ministry two
lists of Preach Officers of all ranks who bad with-
drawn from the places wher,! they were on their
parole. The fitst contains the names of 270 per-
sons retaken in their attempts to escape. The
other contains the names of .590 persons, stated
to have actually effected their est:npe!
1 lilive l'els(m :to Believe l;at this last men-
tioned number is erroneous, as we know of only
..163 prisoners of all ranks who have in this way
returned to I,4'rance.
" The reflections with which the
sionera of the Transport Office have accompanied
the transmission of tfa lists induced are to•cause
a:list to be transmitted to me of the English pri-4
sutlers of war of ail ranks who bad withdrawn
from the places of their parole in Prance, parti-
cularising the dates of their, breach of parole.-'---
The number amounted to 355, exclusive of those
retaken in their attempts to escape. •
" In the nmr."Jer of those who effixted their es-
cape, we•remark the name of a Member. of,Parlia-
meta,- Thomas, Drool:, who fled in October, 1804,
from 'Valenciennes, where he resided on hio pa-
'role. It also includes a, Sir James Crawford,
known to have held sevvral distinguished situa
tions, ho ran off about the same time frolarli>a.
-lit-Chapelle, abusing the permission which
be bad received to proceed thither to take'the
%rat ers.
" The object of this comparative statement is
to shew • that the I.:;n4lish took the lead in these
viOlations of the pat.o.e of honour, for we find but
very few Freuelnuen, and those too, persons of
the lowest rank, who had subjected .themselv'es
to
this imputation in 180.1--,t period when instances
of it were given. by, the Englishmen of distinction
whom I have jut Mentioned.
" On the other hand, if We only consider that
the number of English pristiners detained in
Prance amounts but to a third of the number of
Preeehm<n detained in Eugland, it will be seen,
On comparing the numbers of the fugitives of
both' nations, that thee brew ehre9 of parole have
pia,,portionally been more numerous on the part of
toe English.
e".l*o this observation 'it may not he improper
to add, that of the number of French in England,
there are between 7 and 6,000 who were included
inAhe ,eapitulat ion of Baylen, that is to say, who
are, detained there contrary to all law, and by'a
scandalous infraction of that .c..4pitttlation, ac-
cording to which. thew were to have been sent
home •to France with their arnia. And if this
examination, were carried still farther, it might
also be, remarked, that a great number Of the
Frenchmen who haN.e made their escape from
Fougland were oat prisoners belonging to that
Power, but had been taken by the Spaniards, of
wham 2,700, inCluding General, and Officers of •
all ranks, prisouera of war in France, have made
their escape in breach of their parole.
"'Such, Sire, are, the details which I have
thought it my date tc., submit to yon. Your Ma-
jesty. will, perhaps, be of opinion, that the gi‘,•ing
them publicit y would suffice to make all the ea-
!mimics which the English have lately affected
to propagate upon thia subject again • the t'repoli
kisouers, recoil upon their own heads.
