A Gentleman of the • nurse of Bitowsre, Captain t
i Gaael4rY, and three *camels, haye made their i
i
escape from Auxonne, in France, and fortunatelri
reached the coast near St. Maloe's, ss here they seized; i
fishiag beat, and stood out to sea on Sunday sennight. r
Having a sail, but no compass, they were Y

pelted*, go 'before The ay t e wind. On Monday . • , I
countered a heavy gale, and had severe squally wea: !
ther for upwards of . four hours, during the whole of I
Iwhirl}i
time they were inressantli bailing the boat
with their hats, and every moment expected to foun.!
4er. Fortunately for them, when all their hopes had;
vanished, the storm abated, and, by peat exerticinq, 1
1 they reached the' Cornish roast, and landed near Polf. I
1 perroon Thursday last, in 4 very debilitated state,
0 hayinr, had nothing but two loaves of bread and a
1 .
bottle of water to subsist ont during the whole of I
their perilous voyage. Mr 7 Bitowxe, who had re?
peatedri, applied for, and been promised his release,
k 4 gentlens:n of considerable' property, and is one of
those persopS so shamefully dectained. by the French i
Government, On the recommencement of hostilitiei.
By associating himself with a French Gentlennin, he
had obtained per
mission to visit ' various ii4rty of ;
France, and was every where received with a' civi-
lity, bordering 'cm kindness. I:le states, that through
all ranki of society, for the Last two years, the most
ardent desire for peace with this country had prevailed. 1
Tine most. itiiiiort,nt information 'collected from .
;

' these geademen is, that srastimpamtions are mak
ing in every naval depot ihroughout the French Em-
pire to increase their navy--the Emperor having de-'
'dared his detconination to have a navy equal to cope
t with England. He has instituted a sort of Commit-
: tee, composed af some of the oldest naval officers in
his service, who arp to inquire and report to him on
•the causes of the tepeated defeats suffered by the nai►y
of France, anti tk►e apparent
.superiority claimed by
the British,.

Captain 11Aarrl, laftlymmgh, reached that fort on
Saturday, from Morlaix, after four years captivity at
Valenciennes and Auxonne. He was one of those'
who helped to extinguish the fire at the latter place ;
for which he was rewarded and restored to liberty by
order of the Emperor. Captain 1). states, that pro-
visions of all kinds, including all the necessaries and
luxuries of life, are uncommonly cheap and plentiful.
The best meat in the markets was only five sous per
lb. and bread only I# sous per lb.. Many of the
English prisoners, tired of their long confinement, had
obtained their liberty, were married and settled in
France, and were doing extremely well at their respec-
tive avocations.

from which we have given ample extracts. The de-
tails 'respecting the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo are
brOught down to the 29th ultimo, inclusive, on which
day the place was summoned, but the Governor re.
turned a firm and resolute answer.
The Turks have been once more defeated with
great loss. This event is stated, in an article from
Vienna, to have taken place on the 16th nit.
It now appears that the unfortunate Ex. King of
Holland has bent his way .0 Cassel, to visit his bro-
ther JE4OSIL, instead of Tonningcn, as formerly re-
ported.
A report prevailed at Plymouth, on Sunday, that
Ciudad Rodrigo hid fallen, awl that Lord WEI.LI.-
ros had been compelled to retreat two days march.
There was no arrival from the Taus, however, to
countenance this opinion.
