TOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. « • • ...... - . • » • • • DARTMOOR PRISON. (Concluded from our lust.) -.. /vow /£e National Intelligencer of July 14. Plymouth, 26th April; 1815. SIR—In purfuance of mftro&ions re¬ ceived from Meflrs. Clay and Gallatin, I have now the lienor to tranfmit to you the report prepared by Mr. Larpcnt and myfe'f, on behalf of our icfpecl»ve governments, in relation to the unfortunate t ran fa dt ions at Dartmoor Prifon of War, on the 6th of the ; prcfent month. Confideriug it of much ' importance that the report, whateve-it might be, (hould go f°rth under our joint fig na¬ tures, I have forborne td prefs fomc of the • points which it involves, a? far as other wife I rni^ht have done, and it therefore may not be improper in this letter to enter into fame little explanation of fuch. farts of the report. Although it does appear that a part of ;tbe prifon era were on ihat evening in fuch a Hate, and under fuch circumftan- ces, as to have jutl.'ned, in the vi'ew which the commander of the depot could not but take of it, the intervenrion of the military force, and even in a ftricx fenfe, the 6rft ufc of iire arms, yet 1 cannot but expreffi it as lliy fettled opinion, that by conduct a little more tempoiifing, thtt dreadful alternative of firing upon unyrmed prifonerw, might have been avoided. " Yet as l his opinion has been the refult of fubfequent examination, and after having acquired a knowledge of the comparatively harmlefs Sate of the ptilm • oners, it may be but fair to confider, wheth¬ er in fuch a moment of confufion and alarm, as that appear? toha*ebeeu, the oiHcci com¬ manding could have fairly cftimatcd his dan¬ ger; or have meafured out with prerif-on the extent and nature of the force liCCtlfary to gusrd again ft it. But when the fifing became general, as it afterwards appears to have done, and caught with rlectric repidity from the fquares to the platforms, there is no pica nor (hadow >.f ex- enfe for ii, except in the perional cxafper- aiion of the foldieiy, nor the more deiiber- a e, and therefore more unjufririnble, tiring which took place into three of the priions, No. 1, 3 and 4, but more particularly into No 5, after the prifoners had retired into them, and there was no longer any pretence of apotehcntions as to their cfcape. Upon this ground, as you fir, will perceive by the report, Mr Larpent and myself had no dif- fereTOf (jf Op'tiMR, and I am fully perfuad- tu ihat my own tegret was not greater than hi< at percxiviug how hopelefs would be the attt-mpt to trace to any individuals of the military thefe outrageous proceedings. As to whether the ordrr to fire came from capt. bhonland, I yec confefs myfelf t.nabie to form any fatisfac^ory opinion, tho* perhaps the bias of my mind is, that he 6ii\ give inch an o.der. But his anxiety and reagh, we have had interviews with him and Mr. Goulburn on the fubjea of the trans¬ portation of the American pnfoners flow (ft this county, to the United States, and of the late unfortunate'tvent at the depot at Dart. t!,e .fefet fl*A of Sao fiertWO ; k™ ,« the &n.e iW adwfl«d upo. the bgh road, p.ocedcrf.by the whole, of the f«fo.„ ants, who liave on no nccafion beta all to ad in independent bodies, under ft*? norni^ ation of Mafa j on the contra,. \ have bten obl.cg.d to aft according ^ ■• moor. On the Cub fubj-'ft, we agreed to afvifi your acceptance of the proportion of Lord Caftlcreagh to-tranfport the prifdners at till joint expenfe of the two countries, refervin«r the conftru&ion of the article* of the treaty, which provides for the mutual rcftoration of priloners for fmure adjuftmtnt. It was Hat¬ ed by us, and was fo underftood, that the joint expenfe thus to be incurred, i«5 to comprehend as well the requiihe tonnage 23 the fubiiftence of the. prifoncrs ; and more-" over'that meafn.refl of precaution fhould he adooted relative to the health and comfort of the priloners f.milar to thofe which had taken place in America. The details of this arrangement, if you concur with us a» to the expediency of mak¬ ing it, are left to you to fettle with the prop¬ er Bihiuh authority. On the other iubj.-d, as a ftatcmeut of • the t ran fad ion has been received from the American pri'loncrs, differing very materially in fift from th.-rt which had icfulted from an inquiry militated by the port admiral, it has been thought advi&blc thai lone means mould be devikd of procuring in formation an to the real (late of the cafe, in order on the one hr.nl, to i!.w that there had not beet) any wanton or improper lac. itice of the lives of An evfenn citizens, or on the other, to enable the Britifh government to pnniih their civil and miutaiy oiucers, ii it mould appear that they have refouej to meafmes ofexlremc fevevity without neccility, or v/itli too much precip'ta:i'»n. Lord Caftlcreagh proppfed tbr.t the en¬ quiry mould he a joint one, conduced by a commiflioner fefected by each government. And we have thonght inch an enqnity rroit likely to produce an impartial and laii-fac- tory refult. We prefumethat you will hive too much occupation on the Mill fubjeci and the othtf incidental duties of your otHcc, to attend to «this enquiry in pc'f>n. 0.?thn.t fuppoijuou we have (tared to the BrittOl government that we (hould recommend to you the felecti n oi Chas.

My Lord—My laftdifpatch. dated from the bivouac of Arce, brought the details of the operations of General Count Nugcnt's corps, up to the date of the 15th hill. 1 have now the fatisfaction to inform your Lord/hip, thatfir.ee that peri.d, a ferie.s 02 bold and rapid movements, on the part of that General, have been crowned with the moft complete fuccefs. and the enemy's ar¬ my oppofed to him defeated and totally dif- peifed- On the night of the 15th, the advance/! guard moved forward Frojti the camp of Ar¬ ce, on the road towards St, Germano, hav¬ ing the enemy in front, ftrongly polled on the banks of the Melfa ; during the night -however, he retreated to San Germano, breaking down the bridge acrofs thit river. No tune was loft in throwing a bridge over the Melfa, and at 10 o'clock on the morning of the 16th, it was crolkd by the infantry ; the cavalry jn the mean time having paffed it where it was fordable for horfes. On the fame-day before day light, Gene¬ ral Nugent advanced his whole corps to the Melfa, and having there received a Vemforce- ment of hnfTars and chaffeurs, Ire matched forward in order of battle to attack the en¬ emy at San Geimano, where the united for¬ ces of Macdouald, Manheis, and Figuatclli had taken poft. A fmall corps of advance had marched from Pontc Corvot to turn t»K enemy's left flank, and which had al¬ ready got behind bis pof.tion, and the arm¬ ed inhabitants of the village of Piede montc, with a few soldiers, ■ pofieifcd themfelveB of the ftrong pofirion of the convent of MonM- PP ed the com fition, leaving and ,l,ferters?and fell back to the village o Mignano, nine miles diftant from this place; •Snn Germano was in confluence immedi¬ ately occupied by the Allied troops. The taking of San Germano was but the prelude to a movement ^ which terminated gloriondv for this army, m the total annihi¬ lation of'the enemy's corps oppofed to it. [n the pontion of Mignano, where his whole force vvaS again-united, he wa, attac¬ ked at midnight by the advanced guard, commanded bv Baron D'Afpre with about feven or eight hundred men, the darknefs of the hour preventing him from afcertain- ina the ftreng'h of the attacking corps, the enemy's troops, after a few discharges of mnfketry, were totally routed, laving on y his cavalry and artillery—In this attack, f.mrnlarlyfuceekfui a"d highly cred.uble to Baron D'Af-re and the troops under his or¬ der.--, above cu thouland prifcuera have been made, a q mentstal infantry di^perfed. Deferters, in compa¬ nies of hundreds, have come in and are hour¬ ly joined this camp. This brilliant affair has concluded the op- ei at ions of Cotint Nugent in th«quarter, in which he has deftroyed tfcs army called the army of the Interior, with a force ori- inally ' very inferior to that of the enemy. During tn(-' taft ten «lay-s 'he Kapolitau ar- ^ ^ * * my has loft at ieaft from fix to ieven thou- fand men ; and the whole number of this ar'Tiy (a)luding folely to the army oppofed to General Nugent) efcaped fiom the gene¬ ral overthrow, cannot amount to more than 700 meii. In the courfe of tb>- Gei.eral's movements, commencing at IV oia, he has, at different periods, defeated the enemy's Generals Carafcofa, Menheis, Livron, Mac¬ douald, and the two Pignatelli's befides oth¬ ers ; and not even the prefence of Mai dial Murat himlelf, at San Oarmanoon ti»e 15th could prevent the defi;uction of his army, and confequently tFo. ruin of hi;* authority. General Count NiJgeut's head quarters are at Mignano, from whence 1 have return¬ ed and forward this report; and the column or !u3 ri^ht wing, which advanced from Ter- ia-iu5, occupies Mnlafdi Gueta, the enemy hrlvi'li(*"iirrdo?Cf the fJ irigliano, and bur¬ ned the bridge, be.

M;\y rB, 1815'. My Lord—I had the honor to tranf¬ mit to your Loidfhip a report, dated yefter- <hv, with details of the occupation of St. Germano ; and of the defeat of the enemy at MaycaenOj I have now to report the junc¬ tion of the whole Auftrian force, under the command of General Baron Bianchi, at th;s camp, Cu^uniello bein^; the angle of the junction of the high roads hading fr.>m Rome, Aquila, and Pcf«.ara, to Capua, and Naples, the-different divilion^ commanded by the General Nugent, Mohr, Neipcrg, and D'F.c- kart, from for the moment but one corps, the advanced guard of which, under Gene¬ ral Slarheuberg is at Calvi. The mattered and Wretched remains of the enemy's army, which then tittle move than a month ago, Martha* Murat, publiihed to the world as confiiting of eighty thoufand combatants, is now reduced to a co'p?, prrhap^not amoun¬ ting to eight thoufand effective men, inclu¬ ding the detachments of invalid*, gendarme¬ rie, f.iv*c guards, &c. drawn from Naples and the province- } with this force, broken in fptrity the majority of which deleft thi caufe of the ufurpcr, it appears that rnar- ihal Muiat will take poft in and about Ca¬ pua, until finally overwacalmed by the (u+ perb and victorious army which will tiovv furround him in every direction. Having but this moment readied the gen¬ eral head quarters with General Nugcnt's corps I crmnot yet urate which of the Auft¬ rian corps will march on Naples by Caijag- ga and Cafenta, nor which will blockade the enemy's po fit ion of Capua, and in the prcfent ftate of affairs it feems immaterial ; t!ie great objeeft being now to fave the capi¬ tal from any riling of the populace, and the coufequence that might fo'low an event fo much dreaded by all claffes of the inhabi- tants.
