CARTELS FROM HALIFAX.

On Thursday last arrived here, the Bri-
irish transport briggs Union and Hope, 8
days from Halifax, with $50 released pris.
oners, consisting of officers. ldiers and SAIL
ors of the u S. army and navy, officers and
parts Of crews of privateers, and other sea
men, and militia. About 700 we're left in
Halifax. There was no news of any kind at
Halifax, and no American vessels had been
sent in for long time. Fifteen or twenty
failures had taken place in consequence of
the peace.
The following officers have arrived in the
above cartels:
Ofthe Army-Lieuts. Ballard, Fontaine,
Perry, and Comets Johnson and ellis.
0ffhe .MItVy-Lts. Turner, Storer, Gil
liam and We6b-Saillng masters Wright
and Hall--and II or Is midshipmen and
masters mates
.Ttfrfa-Col. c Churchill. majors Stanton and
Wilson. OF the New-York Volunteers, major
Galloway, OF Pennsylvania Volunteers, and
major Enoch NJ. Lowe, of Lcuisiana-cap.
tains Hunt, Crouch, White, Case. Roberts
Lients, Case, Church, Clark quarter
master of the Penn. Vol. and several other
iieuts. and eDsigns, whose names we have
not ascertained.
Capt. Evans, Of the General Putnam pri.
vateer-Capt. Besom, of the Tomahawk.
and capt. Burnham, of the Guerrero.
The soldiers who have arrived, are a mart
OF the 40'h regiment, taken at Eastport.
We have conversed with a great number
OF the officers and meA who have arrived in
the above cartels. The conduct of the Bri
tlsh towards our prisoners is represented by
all as inhuman, tyrannical, and ungenerous
~ the extreme officers Of the army and Of
the navy, soldiers and seamen, all unite in
uttering the most bitter complaints. In.
deed, It will appear, that the British had
de 'ermlned to destroy by their cruelty. those
high-minded men whom the chance of war
Rad thrown into their hands, and whom
they cou not subdue in battle.
The tyranny and inhumanity Of CUsHET.
the agent at Halifax, are execrated in the
strongest terms. The inattention to the sick
IS spoken OF with indignation and from the
LIST ct October to the list Of February. 100
Americans are stated to have died in the
hospital, great part Of them for want of
proper attention. A great variety of facts
which prove the infamous conduct of our
late enemy towards their unfortunate CAP
tives, we have from the mouths of gentle.
men and men Of honor, officers of the army
and navy, and others, whose yeracitv can.
not be called in question.

FESHE SUBSCRIBERS in consequence of their
n recent misfortune by fire, have determined
20 discontinue for few months their GROCB
RY BUSINESS, and to devote their attention
solely to business in the COMMISSION LINE,
for which purpose they have taken the LUM-
Der HOUSE next to their Former Stand,
where they are prepared to receive Country
produce on Storage.
They take this opportunity to inform their
Creditors that they may be under no apprehen-
sions from their late disaster, but to call as
heretofore and as heretofore they will not
be disappointed.
They indulge the hope that the knowledge
Of their loss, which was not inconsiderable,
will serve as an additional motive to those in
debted to them to be PUNcTUAL in their pay
