Cn the 18th OF January last the privsteer
brig Decatur, OF this port, William Nichcls.
Com mander, was captured by the British
friga!e Surprize, and on the Goth of the
same month arrived in Barbad,ss, where
Captain Nichols was sent on shore on pa
role. After the arrival of the Nesta! Fri.
gate which had formerly Captured Captain
Nichols IN the brig, Alert. tie c,inmandsr
recognizing Nichsia. had him taken into
custody, and sent on board the prison ship.
whe'e ne was confined in place built on
the quarter deck about FIVE feet wide and
seven feet long, and not allowed to speak 10
any person excepting the officer on guard
IN this pen he WAS Kept thirty four DAYS and
shamefuiiy abused. and for which no reason
could be assigned but his retsk ing, the Alert
and the active part II { had taken in the pre-
sent war. And o. or sbeut the twenty
eighth day OF April last, without any previ-
Gus notice. he was taken OH board the Fri
oune ingats, which sailed fer the leeward
islands 70 join the convoy for England.

~ Mr.. Foot was prize master ON
board the Decatur and unfortunately lost
his lee by a cannon bail, fct which reason
he was sent hcme.
Thus are Americans treated by British
savages, by men who have no sense Of no.
nor, and.wbo are caiicus to the feelings of
humanity. Captain Nichols has made ore
successful eruiEe this war he has csptu-
red several British vessels, some Of them 1f
force n
prisoners with the greatest generosity, even
according to their own confe sion and is
this brave man to be treated like slave, or
a Criminal, be put N cage like Wild
beast TO be insulted by every petty ofEcer.
and finally Co lave his life ENDANGERED by
beng sent to England to be tried--to be tri.
ed for whatS Why, for retakine mis- own
vessel from dastardy enemies, " no had
| captured him when performing a lawful
voyage i'll time Of pretended Isace. The
| English in conjunction with the Tories, lt,-
vel all their vengeance at privaseersmen !;
because these brave men have made Bril-
tons feel. And while Capt. Nichols is thus
barbsrously treated. English prisoners are
here used as teDderly as brethren. Surely
| this calls aloud for retaliation. Hostages
(n3val commanders if possibls) ought to be
detained IN close confinement. 20 answer for
whatever may befal Capt. Nichols. PAIN
fnl as retaliation is, it Is duty, and nothing
else will teach Engiishmen TO treat their
prisoners according to the usage of ciyili-
zed nations.
