La DeSlree lett bTeSt, on the /
afternoon o. the 9th of December, with
criminals ON board destined for transport
alton. About six o'clock in the evening
OF that day she struck on the rock at the
extremity of Les Balcines, short dis
lance from the harbor. Immediately |
signal guns were fired, and light hoisted;
but IN less than two hours, and before any |
assistance could be rendered, the shi p was
swallowed up, with every soul that was
on board. No one was left to tell how |
the melancholy accident occurred. Some
who saw the ship about dusk, remarked
that there was something strange In her
man9uvres, and from that argued that
revolt had taken place. Fifty bodies had
been driven ashore, none OF whom had
their irons on, which shows that either
the prisoners had revolied, or that the
captain had ordered them to be taken of
to afford chance of escape.-N. Y.Spec.
