Two prison ships were lately driven on shore on
that'side of the bay of Cadiz occupied by the French.
The prisoners on boaid of one of them, amounting-to
several hundreds, escaped on shore. The other pri-
.son-ship, being in imminent danger, as a heavy sea
was breaking over her, assistance was sent tolier from
the British squadron. Instead, however, of grate-
fully acknowledging and accepting these offices of
humanity, the Frenchmen, who had by this time
obtained complete possession of the vessel, fired upon
the English boats, killed ID of the crews, and woun-
ded several. A heavy fire was, in consequence,
opened on the prison-ship, by which nearly 200 of the
refractory were killed and wounded. A Spanish ship
of the line, with a considerable quantity of dollars on
board, also tan ashore about the same time. This
disaster, however, is ascribed rather to treachery than
accident or negligence. The vessel was. fortunately
got off by the exertions of the British seamen. The
Spanish Captain had fallen under strong suspicion,
and was to be tried by a Court Martial.
