FRENCII rPlusolvEr.s.—Oght .French Officers
latety broke their parole of honour, and escaped
from, Andover.----The following particulars of their
escape and detection have trinspired. They
went of in. the night, saddle, horses being pro-
Vided for them.; six of them rode double horses,
preceded Jy two other-horses 'on leach of which
was mounted an ofiker, accompanied by two
English conductors, who were to receive 6001.
to cover all expeaces. They arrived on, the coast
near Christchurch, opposite the Needles, on the
2d of October, where there was a smuggler's ves-
sel from Weymouth, in waiting for them.' - but
the wind was so completely contrary, and it blew
such a hurricane at the time, that it Was deemed
improper to go on board. They, in consequence;
prevailed on a,cottager to take them in, imposing
the French Officers on the cottager for Guernsey
merchants, who were pursued by the Revenue Of--
fiCas. They remained concealed in the cottage
till the sth of October. • At eleven o'clock- that

night, they went on board the vessel, , the wind.
being fair for the coast. of France ; however, they
had been to sea but a very short time, When a •
violent storm arose, Which drove them back to-
same place where they got on board. ).he vessel
was not able to put them on shore; some of them
were in 'consequence nearly drowned, not being
able to swim, anti the sea being up to their necks.
At this time it was about three o'clock. It was
their intention to haVe returned to the cottage,
but on account of the darkness of the morning,
and the noise Occasioned by the'storm,. two of
the Officers missed the others am: their conduc-
tors, and could not flu I the cottage. They wan-
dered about till daylight, and then
qniries of peasants.and. others that they. met
-with. From their conduct they Were slispected to
lie Officers'who had broke their parole of honour,
• and they ~..%:ere - •
They, behaved very caud;dly and one Or
who spoke 1;3- very -Well,,after very lit:silt!
• hesitation, conrei.Fied the ,whop e of their !wor.:eed-
ings, and said he belicved'ihe other six Were con-
cealed in-.a 'eottav 31. but he cpmlhl not tell where
it was. The cbttage,was, after some difficulty,
tracod, and.the other six- Officers discovered there.
_ .

The business carve- under investigation before
G. H. Rose, Esq. M. P. the acting Megistrate of
that neighbourhood, who 'wrote up to London to
the Transport Board; and Adkins and Vickary,
the Bow-street Officers, were dispatched in pur-

suit of the conductors. They have succeeded in
taking. into custody Rose, the master Of the ves-
sel. Adkins took. Culliford, the principal con,
doctor, at Ilchester. lie had been•convicted be,
tore of a simila'r offence, and when he was. qi-
prehended then ierequired four men to secure 'inn.
Desperate reiiistance was therefore expected, but
Adkins contrived to follow him into a stable, au4
with the.assistance to a man, had handcuffs on
him before he kneW he was in custody. The of-
ficer conveyed him to Southampton, where he un-
derwent an examination latl Wednesday before
1\11..6. 11. Rose, when he was identified by one of
the French Officers, and several other witnesses
who corroborated his testimony. Ile was fully
cothtnitted for trial. Vickary is in pursuit of
others concerned in the transaction.

,Horrid Murder.—On Thursday last, Mr. Jobs
Cririe was most barbarously and inhumanly mur-
dered in Ilalferne, in the parish of"Crossmichael,
and Stewartry of -Kirkcudbright, in Scotland.
The deceased was fc,und weltering in his blood at
noon. There, is no doubt the deceased had been
knocked down, and the death wounds had been
given .by _a spade._ When he was found, be
was pot quite dead, but was too far gone to,give
any account of-his cruel and blood-thirsty ma'
derers.
