When we inserted the article which an
uoupced that the President had directed the
British officers, hostages, to be released, Oh
parole, although we we're satisfied that the
fact was so. we did not distinctly understand
the motive for that step, or the policy of
the measure. The proceeding is now ex
planned TO us. The principle Of retaliation
il not abandoned, nor is che point yielded.
Great Britain has not, we presume relin,
pushed her hold upon the twenty three
men, American prisoners, who were sent
from Quebec to England for trial. Nor
have the United States, we believe, iibera>
ted the privates seized in retaliation. But
the hostages. subsequently secured on their
side, are, 1t seems, obtaining the freedom
that is compatible with the condition of SIM
pie prisoners of war.-They were officers !;
and Col. Lewis and Major Madison were a
mong them. These two gentlemen have
proceeded from Washington homeward. 1t
is to be hoped that these acts Of kindness
will be Improved. so as to prevent the shed
ding ofhuuan blood upon ideal and vague
monarchical pretexts. Wig.

NEw-YoaK, April Is.

The Steamboat which arrived yesterday
from Albany, brought no news from the
Northern Army or the Fieets.--Among the
passengers were his Excellency Governor
Tompkins, and General Winder. The
General was one of the prisoners confined
in Quebec as a retaliatory hostage. He had
been pernitted some weeks ago to visit his
family at Baltimore, on parole. and had re-
turned at the expiration gift, when Gas we
presume) he was liberated by Governor
Provost, very probably i'll consequence OF
the President Of the United States having
directed all the British officers now in custo.
dy as hostages on the principle o. retaIia-
ton, to be discharged on parole, with leave
to retnrnto Canada.

From tie Aurora.

The following extract of { letter from an
American prisoner in Nassau, N. P. to his
mother in Philadelphia. exhibits another
evidence of the cruelty with which our citi-
gems are treated by the British-a::d forms
a remarkable CONT asst TO the generosity K
delicacy which such of our enemies as have
been so lucky as to fall into our hands, have
experienced. Whilst our citizens have not
a second shirt TO their backs, and are kept
in a state little short of starvation, itappears
that British prisoners are permitted to revel
in every luxury, and to enjoy such privile
ges as it would be extraordinary indeed If
they did not use as the means of effectipg
theit escape:
On board Of the hrison ship. hort Of
Nassau, March 10, 1914.
% Myself and a great many of my brave
countrymen have been suffering every de
privation, on board of this old prison ship,
for twelve months and more-our allowance
is 1-2 pound of bread, half !. pound of beef,
and one gili Of rice per day, the weight very
scanty, and the provisions of the very worst
kind-we have not second shirt to our
backs, aud those we have on mostly in tat
tiers We are used with as much barbarity
as though we were Turks. and are obliged
to fetch wood and water with a gang of A.
frican soldiers with naked bayonets at our
backs. and are hardly allowed to say our
lives are our own. IL this is the way Ame>
RIGA allows her defenders to be treated she
ought no longer to be called free country
but we have every reason to believe that
our government knows nothing of our suffers
ings, otherwise they would nave taken mea>
sures to bring us away from this wretched
place. We still indulge ourselves with the
hope that something will speedily be dons
