drowned.
During their absence, however, affairs
had changed on board the steamer. M.
Pollet, the harbOr-master, by order of the
mayor, had proceeded with dozen Gus
tom-house officers in boat, and taken
possession of it; it was fortunate for the
Prince they did so, for, in returning into
the harbar, they found him almost ex-
hausied, clinging to the buoy, about the
eighth of mile from the shore. He was
taken on board, and with him Colonel
Vaudrey. In escaping from the shore
they had narrowly avoided being shot;
several balls passed close to the Prince,
and several of his followers werc wound
ed, and sank TO rise no more. The re-
port is, that six have been found; one
poor doctor, who surrendered, was shot
by a National Guard.

have been msled as to the disposition Of
the people. At the same time, had he
landed with three hundred men, there
can be no doubt but Boulogne would be

Of the debark8tion this morning was, that
"the English had already landed a force

devil! he looked awfully excited. His
followers arc fine looking fellows. They
appear to be the dare-devils Of all nations
Poles, French, Swiss, and some say
English. The latter statement | do not
believe.
A French General who was captured,
is said to have Just died of his wounds.
The authorities are liberal enough TO
give out that the "English are at the bot.
tom Of this insurrectionary movement"
What next!
All sorts of rumors are rife. 1t is said
that the troops Of the line are favorable
TO the prince, and that those quartered
in the environs will attempt to rescue the
captives. The civil authorities have is
sued procamauons laudIng the loyalty OF
the brave Boulognaise.
The coaches from Paris are an1IousIy
looked for. Many imagine that accounts
will be received Of attempts 10 rise else
where, and that some simultaneous
movement has been contemplated.
