KINGSTON. (Jam.) Dec. 81.

A most desperate attempt to escape
was made by the prisoners of war, on
board the Loyalist on "Wednesday alter
noon.
The intention of the prisoners (for IT
had been previously concerted.) vas, to
assault both the guards and at any rate
to make sure of the officer, for this pur'
pose they were divided into two parties,
and at half past p M. taey pat their
plan into execution. The attack they
made was instantaneous, but the party
who attacked the guard, and whose Pri-
mary object seems to have been the sell
zure OF their arms, was so roughly hand
led, having six killed outright, six more
severely wounded. and who are not ex-
pected to survive, that they gave 1t up
and were driven below, excepting ele-
ven who jemped overheard, and are sup
posed to Rave been drowned. The par
~ that proceeded to the officers cabin
succeeded so far, but they had scarcely
attained their object, when, they were
put hors de comba. by several OF the
guard,
Capt. l.. Urry, acknowledged himself
to be one of the ringleaders, and said
their intentions were nothing more than
to regain sweet liberty.
Five of the killed are whites, their boz
dies were brett to Port Royal Naval Hos
pital. where eorsner's inquest was
held o7er tkem yesterday afternoon.

doubt served as ornaments of dress.
This grave was from eight to nine feet
in length, and is not far distant from the
