prisoners are allowed tho full liberty Of the espanade
after which time they are confined to their quarters and
to the walks on the borders of the espanade until
O'Clock in the afternoon, when they have another hour
Of full range over the interior Wheneverit is
necessary that they should go outside Of the fort they
are attended by sentinel, and every comfort con-
sstent with their safe keeping Is furnished to them
with the utmost care and humanity. No complaint 10
made to the commanding officer which ia not promptly
attended TO- As general thing the prisoners conduct
themselves with perfect propiety and wear an air as
nonehalant as possible though there are few unruy
spirits who still talk as loudly about the American Bas'
tile rs they did previous TO their arrest.

They get the morning papers at o'clock, are fully
informed on current matters and spend the day in dis
cussng the state Of the country generally and their
own private grievances in particular. In one thing
they all agree and that is that Fort Lafayette is the
only place in the whole country North or South,
whe a man can speak his mind freely. The relative
strength of the North and South is standing subject
Of discussion. Much time is spent in games-whst,
draughts chess and backgammon-but there is no dis
| position 10 gamble Indeed it would be difficult to
place stakes on the table fthey desired their money
is taken from them on entering the Fort. Their cor
respondence, outgoing and incoming, is inspected by
the commanding officer of Fort Hamilton, well as
by Col Burke and the utmost care is taken that no
| imrroper communication is held with the outside
world They are all very healthy Good mat
| tre4ea and sheets are furnished to each, and
good blanket with an iron bedsead, which lie
folded up during the daytime, 30 as TO give
more room for walking about. The classmates
are airy and comfortable. All the prisoners acknowl
edge that they are made as comfortable possible ex
| cent the priyateeu They are shaeked and confined
in close quarters during the day. The officers OF the
pryateers who were entertained in the cabins OF the
vessels which brought them to New-York, while their
crews were kept in irons, find that Col Burke docs
not recognize any distinction Of rank in piracy. All
are treated alike. There have been some recent
changes in the arrangements which have considerably
Increased the comfort Of the prisoners. They are SAID
TO have occurred soon after visit from Mr. ThurIow
| Weed who thoroughly inspected all the details OF
pr-,pfe in the fort The classmates are very cold IN
Winter and already begin to be rather uncomfortable
II IL nrobaby for this reason that directions have been
given TO the Quartermaster stationed in Boston to pro
vide quarters and ratons on George Island in the har-
Dor of that city, for hundred prisoners. The officers
quarters. which front on the espanade can be made
/ comfortable through the Winter.
