ing mortJi wounde !, was left in the hands
OF the enemy. BY Tags from the British army,
was shortly after assured of his Gonzales
cence, and an offer was made ME by LIT. Gen.
l}rnmmond to exchange him for his own Aid,
Capt. i-oring, then 4 prisoner Of WARMTH us.
However singular this proposition appeared,
rs capt Loring was not wounded, MOI. had re-

comply with 1T Oil capt. Spencer's account;
but as / knew his wounds were severe.

shen living. My messenger, with nag, was
detained, nor even once permitted 10 see
Capt. :. though in his immediate vicinity
The evidence wished to acquire failed. but
my regard for Capt. Spencer would not per-
init me longer to delay. and informed Gen
Drummond that his Aid .houd be exchanged
even for the body OF mine. This oif.r was no
doubt gladly accepted, and the corpse of cant
>. sent to the American shore.
Indignant as am, at this unrenerous pro-

his immediate release. Hc can return by the
