By accounts received from Major-General Vre-
CENT, we are happy to find that he was well at his
command at Kingston. in Upper Canada, on the
17th February last. The General does not notice
any particular severities by the American Govern-
ment against prisoners ; and therefore we are confi-
dent, and have great pleasure in announcing. that
the accounts which lately appeared in the Loans
Papers, of some of the British Officers being put to
death, 'and of retaliation being made on several of
the American Officers, is without foundation.
