• -The mentality among the French prisoners recently
arrived at Plymouth (particularly those from the
'.Wesr Indies), is very great. Both in the hospital
'and on board the prison ship's, numbers are dying
daily. They are mostly young men. Many hun-

them there are 200 of the Imperial Guard.
Sunday night, thirteen French prisoners, confined'
on board one of the prison ships at Plyinouth, made
