1t is with great satisfaction we are ena-
bled to state, that the public authorities of
the u. States and Great Britain are relax.
ing in their measures of retaliation. In
consequence Of the indulgence shewn to
gen. Winder in the permission granted to
him by sir George Provost to return for a
time to his home, the President immedi
a'ely extended like indulgence to some
British officers similarly situated About
the period that our Executive was thus
manifesting his willingness to keep pace
with the adversary In acts tending to pro-
mote the cause of humanity, sir George
Provost, without any knowledge of the fact
allowed Col Lewis and maj Madison to
leave Quebec, on parole, for the U. States
And, in pursuance of the same philanthropic
spirit, the President, we understand, has
given direction for the discharge, on parole,
of all tho British officers, now in CUSTODY
as hostages, with permission for them to
proceed to Canada Thus, the retaliatory
system, which, at its commencement, wore
a menacing and terrible appearance, is
gradually losing its aspect of ferocity and
in way, too, which promises to leave lit
tie or no irritation on either side. The in
dulgences granted to the hostages, by the
public authorities both in Canada and the
United States, are voluntary acts of bene-
violence, and have been sufficiently stimuli
taneous to deprive either government of the
exclusive merit of having commenced them

The verbal news received at Newport,
can only apply to Bluchers defeat. The
English dates received at Bermuda are
said to be to the lst OF March; the papers

ton of general engagement, or retreat of
the Allies. The Moniteur of the 2Sth Fe-
