Colombia county, October tt. FOUND,' A VALUABLE Watch ?eal, For lutth-r p.«rrtculiu et tpire ;of THE PRLNTEK. October 23. Monstrous Barbarity. By correct information we had occation to relate in oar *■ paper of the 21st ult. the fufterings of the unfortunate Americans, prisoners at Hal ifax, and the ruffian feverify of the enemy towards them —it is now in our power to fav, that the nuirative then 4 9 given is declare J by «n offi , er, vk h > has witiufi-d ;h? lame tondiuT, to be Tub llantirtlly corredl —and we are favored by ibis gentle man with some painful ad ditions horrid in the ex treme and which call load ly upon our government for j retributivejutlice. Though ; retaliatiou may in the gene ral acceptation of the term be cunittiered as deviating trom the principles of hu manity—yet a resort of this kind in retail to the situa tion of our friends in the j hands of the enemy, could •be in no wife detrimental, bur, on the contrary, would teach in inhuman toe, that as the war was waged for the proteition and freedom of our citizens, we have a spirit and fuficient firmnels to resent thofc abufei.— : Where one of our brethren it thus a vi&im, let tws of the enemy fuffer for the of fence—Let our government adopt acourfc ot this nature and we Ihouli fcon find the principle of fiarv&tion cease — < blackholeimpri^o^^^)elU , no more heard of—oppref fion and the thucklcs of ty- | ranny never more adtninif tered to the degradation of the Tons of independence— let them know th.it wc are jealous ot our rights and are determined to iupport them. In relating the disgusting particulars it is well that the public should have an ! idea of the place where our| Americans are confined. To, give a full defeription is not I in our power* but agreeably , to information received, Ms faille Ijlandy where twelve i Hundred Americans are con fined, is but little above the fuiface ot the water and; from its low situation is • generally very unhealthy— j its circumference, about 1600 feet—on this naufeous 1 spot is situated a building of two stories— 130 feet in length and 40 feet broad— and of the upper room 30 feet if set apart for the sick the remainder of this a partment now contains 180 American prisoners. In th* • lower room are 770 mere cooped op to bteathe the fame breath and generate disease by this larrow con- 1 finement—3s©m#reare near 1 this ill: nd on board a pri- < son ship. In this situation 1 •n the molt rigorous treat- 1 ment our brethren remain— : the brave tars of our navy and many of the soldiers of 1 our country art here doom- 1 j ed to breathe their iaft from i No. J» pcff ilence which c-rrei off three or four of a d,y ~ *md to heighten the poig nancy of their reflexion', they are roll hf the Britifli Agent Miller, "to H.e and be damned - 7be Kin% bat i 50 acres of land to bury them on." Among the numerous in stances of their futiering*, tliis in particular is worthy ot record—A boy, an ap prentice to an American * merchant, being among the number of priloners, the Brill ill officers endeavored to inveigle him away, and, by protnifes, to induce him to enter the navy—during the procedure, Lt* Black, 3d of the YorUtowu priva teer, a friend to the boy, ! oblorved “ Joe don't go , ’ , for which he was immedi jately seized, and forced in to the Black hole or Dungeon \ where he remained ten days ion three quart e* allowance ! [ liajter n Argus . Outrageous. In their principles of man stealing' the Bririlh have j lately adopted a new meth od which beggars all former precedent—We are told by the gentleman who furniffi, es ua with the above, that : 15 Americans were impref -1 led from the prison ship at | Quebec and forced on board the naval vessels in the har bor—eight of whom wetc lin the Julia and Growler, of Chauncey’B squadron cap tured by the enemy on Lake j Ontario ! The names of tbefe unfortunate Ameri cans, are not recollc&cd, except the two following— viz. William Kelly (Ihoe maker) of the 14th U. S. Infantry—Relidence in Ce cil county, Maryland—He emigrated to the Colonies before the Revolution and served as a soldier in the Pennsylvania lire during that war. This man is aged 52 years and was prefled on board the Melpomene. Abase occurieuce took place in the ccuife of this management which defences particular notice, vz. that when this man was a iked his place ot reticence, (whole answer was Mary . land) the lcoundrel who was appointed to this deceptive dutv put down Ireland— and the poor fellow was imme diately forced away. Also, John T< dd, a native of Prince Gecrgc County, Ma ryland, ot lb* 14th was prctfc.i on boa d t».e Regu- I us. [tliJ.
