We understand the Marshal Of this district
has received instructions to release the retail
ia,ory hostages in his custody, and restore
them to the ordinary situation of other pris-
oners of war.
The Marshal, we are Informed, has also
becn directed by the Commissary General, to
reduce the daily ration to prisoners Of war
the British government having inhum,ny re-
fused to ratify that par, of the Cartel (agreed
upon the 18th May, isl3,) hichtelaled to
subsistence. The most material alteration
in the ration is the substitution of half for
one pound Of beef, and one and half for one
pound of bread
The U. S. cartel ship Perseverance, Capt.
Dill, arrived here on Thursday, in 8 days
from Halifax, with 26o exchanged Amcri.
cans, prisoners Of war. Capt. Dill informs
US that nine hundred were still 10 con6ne-
ment there, and that the British agent would
not permi, any to return, except those who
were exchanged for the British prisoners
Capt. ID. carried out he could have accom-
modated 100 more. -Four hundred Ameri.
cans had been sent to England, and among
them all the crew Of TIC U. S. sloop Frolic,
who had previously arrived at Halifax from

arrival from Holland.

ArriUal from Holland.
Last evening an alarm was raised at Mar
blehead by the approach into that harbor Gs
two ships, which were supposed:o be enemies,
and the alarm was communicated from the
fort in that place by signal gun to fort Pick
ering, in consequence of which the Essex
Guards with great alacrity repaired in arms
to their assigned post. The alarm soon sub
sided, from ascertainipg that the vessels were
the Dutch sloop of war Ljar, Capt. BARKER,
end the merchant ship Prince Of Orange, un-
der her convoy, bringing out his Excellency
Mynheer CHAUGULoN with his family and
suite) as Minister from the Prince of Orange
to the United States. The ships wero des-
tined to Nsw-York, but put INFO Marblehead
in consequence of contrary winds. They sail
cd from Helvoetsluys 22d May, and touched
at Portsmouth, Eng and bring papers of thas
place 10 the 9th June, containing London
dates to the I'd only, not SO late as before re-
oeived. They were yesterday boarded by n.
B. M. ship Leander, one OF the blockadng
squadron and on the Grand Bank had been
also boarded by U S. sloop Of war Rattlesnake
two days before her capture. The comman-
der brings the pleasing report, that a speedy
PEACE was likely to take place between
Great Britain and this country ;-but on this
subject our recent English accounts probably
give as much Information as this vessel caa
afford. From the papers we can extract no
article of intelligence we were not previously
in possession Of.
