HORRID MASSACRE ! ! ! yve are this evening enabled to lay before our readers thr particulars of the massacre at Dartmoor prison, in England, where the blood of sixty-three de fenceless Americans, was wantonly spilt without a ny cause or provocation whatever. \V e have peru «ed the journal of Mr. Andrews, kept during his •onfinrinent in that prison, am) the follow mg is the substance ot whi t he recorded respecting this bloo dy affair, of which he was an eye witness, and nar rowly escaped the late of his unfortunate fellow captives. EXTUACT. M.1SS.ICRF Or'JiMtlRrc. LX PR ISO.XFHS. “ On the Cth of April, at 9 o’clock, I’. M. capt. T. C.Shovthmd, keeper ot the Ifniinoii' prison, hap p nvd to discover a small hole which bail been picked through one of the inner wails of the prirtiu, by nome ol cur boys w ho preferred any employment to idle n» ss. Upwards of five thousand prisoners were, at this time, civilly walking in the yards of the dill' rent prisons, notdieatuing <«t the approaching tragedy, and wholly unconscious of the existence of the little hole from which it was to originate. Instantly the ring kigof an alarm bell, saluted their astonished ears; and scarci ly had they time to look- their surprise, whetithe drum bent to arms ! ‘•Curiosity alone prompted them to turn their at tention to the gate, as the only avenue, through which they might learn the cause of this extraordinary a la: m Each one was eager to get nearest to the source of information, till ft cm the pressure of some thousands, the gate £htc way, the crowd with it, and those in toe rear pressed forward so rapidly, the fore nr stfoumlit impossible toresiitthe curi-ent, but were pushed entirely through the passage. “ At this moment, captain Shortlnnd, at the head of the troops of the garris in, entered the inner square of the priion, and drew up his men in n position to cha pe the prisoners, who were gazing with wurder On this military movement, notdi raining that them selves were its object. The officers of the garrison perceiving the bloody intention of the keeper, would have no hand in the business, declined giving any or ders, and resigned their power tn captain ShorlUnd. After view ing, in speechless astonishnient, n nianeu vre that at length seemed to menace their own safety, the prisoners, though unconscious of blame, began io think it most prudent to retin*, and every one hasten ed towards their respective prisons, with all possible alacrity. “ The onler to fire was now given by the keeper, *nd promptly obeyed. A full voliy of musketry was discharged into a body of several thousand men, ail retreating in the most peaceable manner ! “Through thegatesand iron pailing that separated the tr ops from the prisoners, were these vollies re peated fir several rounds ! while the defenceless victims, dead and wounded, fell thick on every side. '1 heir flight w as in disorder, and tile doors of the cells they were seeking to regain, were soon clogged with 'be Won la led, who had fallen in tin* passages,^ and tile utiwounded w ho were flying over them. “ Their murderous pursuers had now entered the yards of each prison, making a general charge on man and boy, sheathing their ruthless bayonets in the bo dies of the r< treating prisoners, and com nletine the <>i acsmiciirm uy me iliseharge ot another vollev ot musketry in the buehs of die hindmost, who were iorciugtheir passage over the wounded, into them pri son. “ N’or did they stop here ; but pntroled the yard to find some solitary fugitive who hud sought safety in fright. One poor affrighted wretch had tied close to the wall of one of the prisons, fearing to move, lest he should meet his death. Him those demons of hell discovered, and the bloody Short land gave the fatal or pcr. lri vain the trembling victim fell upon his knees, it in that imploring attitude Ik sought their compassion —begged them to spare a life almost exhausted by sphering and confinement. He pPr.ided to brutes— be appealed to tigers. “ FIRE !*’ cried Short!and, it several balls were discharged into his liosoni ! “ This inhuman monster having now “glutted his Nero appetite with blood,” retired with the troops, leaving the scene of his heroism slippery v ith lift-bin- d of defenceless freemen ! Sixty-three Jlmericans bled to gratify the spleen of a British turnkru ! Se ven ot them were relieved by death from UitsT task, of tailing the degrading tale. “ The wounded were removed from the scene of slaughter, as soon as practicable, and placed in the h' spiUd, under the direction of Doctor Msgrath, head •tirgcuit ot the department, who used every exertion in hij power to alleviate their sulferings and restore them VJiieSith. He demanded admittance into the prisons, ai.d received the wounded who had escaped thither previous to the doors being closed. His tenderness k humanity are acknowledged with gratitude by his pa tients. A dispatch was immediately sent to Plymouth, to Inform the admiral aud the military commandants ot the tragical events. On the following morning, a s.roug reinforcement arrived from Plymouth, under the command of a colonel, who took charge of the gar r son ; information of which was immediately given to the prisoners, accnmpani<-d with a request that a committee he appointed from among them to receive an explanation respecting the transactions of the pre c ding evening. But the survivors, smarting under a painful sense of their unparalleled wrongs, unanimous ly answered (by letter) that as the citizt r.s ol the Uni ted States of America, they should conceive it a dis yt see and degradation of their national character, to hold any'cnrre8pondence with the murder* r «>f their countrymen. But that if the colonel desired a confer fence w ith the prisoners, it would be met on their part with pleasure, and the most satisfactory explana tion of every part of their conduct should he given. “ Accordingly, the colonel attended, at the gate of me prism, accompanied oy capt. aiiot'tlaixl, with a vi a ige o't rapt-cad with gloom, and glowing with con scious gu'dt. Fie faintly attempted to justify his con duct, and pleaded duty ! Fie feared the prisoners were attempting to escape ! * The colonel patiently heard the stories on both •ides of the question, and promised that it should be lubmitled to the decision of a coroner’s inquest, next day, and that thorough invest' pition of every relative cirsumstnnce should then take place. “ The prisoners then hoisted the colors half-mint on every prison, and visited the wounded in the hospi <«’ department. Hut here a scene was presented too »b ckit g for humanity. Tables were spread and co vered with fractured legs and arms, that had just been severed from the bodies of our groaning tcllow cap ttve». There lay seven of our countrymen, marked with horrid wounds and bereft of life—here above 50 w ere expressing their anguish in half smothered com plaints or audible groans. Our feelings can better be conceived than described. “A committee of srx was then appointed to take the depositions of these best acquaint* d with the facta reining to this affair, and making eveiy proper ar rangement I r famishing the ooroner w ith the most material evidence, AH these depositions exactly a gret-d with the statement here given. “In the afternoon an admiral arrived at the prison, •‘(ended by the captain of a seventy-four. After po Titcly introducing themselves, they informed the pri •fiut rs that they came, sanctioned by the proper au ti.oi ity, to make inquiries intothe past conduct of capt. SLortlnnd, during his agency, aid promised thut he •htxdd be strictly interrogated on the subject. They left us with many fair assurance* that a strict and im partial investigation should take place with respect to nis conduct. “fine circumstance tlmtoccurred during the ma» • vr.iiE ought not to be omitted- One of the sob tiers tlist belonged to the seine regiment that performed tl is v.otk of blood, was lighting a Inmp at the door >if iN o 3, (one of the prisons) when the camnge com riencen,«nd ir. the hurry to retreat, was forced inside among the wounded and exasperated prisoners.

Shortland took sole charge ofthe troops, and w as heard to order them to lire. “ 1 hat the prisoners were all that while run ni>’g hctoiv the soldiers to gain the inside ol their pri son. “ That the soldiers followed up the few last prisoners, and shot them as they were entering the door. “ I hat two men were actually killed inside the prison. “ I hat some few, who were unable to gain tlie in side of the prison, were delilieratcly aimed at and shot bv the soldiers from the ramparts, while striving to get in. “ l hat a subaltern officer, who assisted capt. S. was seen to be assisting in the killing ol a boy not mere than 1 6 years old. "That a prisoner applied to captain Shortland to stop the horrid massacre, us the prisoners were re tiring, but received in answer, “ return, you d—-d rascal!” “ Ard lastly, that a singular circumstance preceded the affair, that leaves no room for conjecture, but car ries conviction at once to the mind, that the whole was a cool, premeditated and deliberate murder ; which circumstance is this;—Each prison contained four doors, which were always kept open, until the sound o! a horn warned the prisoners to it tire for the night, after which the doors were closed. Hut on this me morable evening, no horn had sounded, the prison ers were walking in the yard of their prisons, and yet th-- turnkeys had been in and locked all the doors of each prison, save one. Thus the bloody wretch, who was meditating his evening’s amusement, firat gave or lers to cut off their retreat, and then began hi? attack in trout. Instead of four doors, the bunted wretches had all to fly to one—clunked the passage, f* were slaughtered there. Other* were hunted singly about the yard, and wantonly butchered by the bay onet or bullet. It was also proved, that capt. S. had hold ol one ot the iiiuiLois in m .. .■ dier, hi the commencement of the firing. “Mr. Beasley, the American agent, was immedi ately made acquainted with all the particulars herein stated, upon which an investigation of. the aubieet took plm e at Plymouth, under the direction of Mr. B. at tended by Air. Williams and other agents, and further depositions were to be taken prevk u» to the prisoners leaving England, ?cc.” -. FARMERS' BANK.OF VIRGINIA.
