Parker and has CompanionS.-W an
nounced in our last paper the escape of John
g. Parker and fourteen other prisoners
from the Fort at Kingston, who had been
confined during eight months past for daring
to think and say that the Canadas were not
governed as well as they might be- MIR
Parker, with two OF his fellow prisoners
have been re-taken, and are again in con
fnement at the Fort loaded as we are in
formed, with chains and letters Ten ofthe
prisoners have arrived safe upon this side,
and two others have not been heard of since
the night on which they left the Fort and
separated.
Those who arrived in this county suffered
greatly from hunger while effecting their
escape-they remained upon Long Island
three days with scarcely any thing to SUBJ
sist upon, while the country was being
secured by British soldiers TO hunt down
these unfortunate men, and again send them

who kept the Inn called Montgomerys Tav-

pitiable. Two-thrds of the population of
Upper Canada deeply and sincerely regret
that he did not succeed in effecting his es-
cape.
No one unacquainted with the suferings
of these unfortunate men can conceive the
Joy and gratitude they exhibited on their safe
arrival here.
