BRITISR PRISONERS IN FRANCE.

the gnats advanced to the Spanish nation, and was to
have been brought home in the English frigate in
which Mr COCHRANE JOHNSTONE took his passage.
It seems, that during the voyage, or shortly after the
arrival of the frigate at Vera Cruz, this Gentleman
had some dispute, of the nature of which we are not
informed, with the Captain of the frigate, in conse-
quence of which he came to 4 determination to ship
the money in a Spanish line-of-battle ship lying there,
which he actually did. The Captain strongly re-
monstrated againA a proceeding which equally affect-
ed his honour aiid his interest, and declared, that, as
his orders were to bring the money home, he would
either compel the Spanish ship, with the force then
under his command (three frigates), to give up the
treasure, or he would make it his business to see her
home and safe into a British port. This threat ex-
cited great alarm, and when the vessel which brought
this account came away, the money was actually re.
lauding from the Spanish ship.

The Jubilee will be celebrated with every demon-
stration of joy in the country round Windsor.
The preparations going forward at her MAJESTY'S
Lodge, at Frogmore, for the celebration of the Jubi-
lee, are on the grandest scale. Grand fireworks are

walks of the gardens are erecting temporary posts for
the purpose of having variegated lamps for the
mination.

Most of the prisoners named in tbe foregoing list,
are Captains and mates of vessels, officers and pas.
sengers, who haye been taken from time to time br
the enemy's cruizers.—Many of the above persons
have been in prison several years.
We understand, that in consequence of the urgent
remonstrances of the British prisoners at Verdun, the
Commandant of that fortress has been suspended in
his government. Sir THOMAS LAVH: has al,o been
released from the close confinement to which he ha 4
been committed by the command of that officer.
