v2:595

By a list of prisoners taken on Long-Island, and sent up by General Howe to General Washington, it appears that of the Maryland troops there are one Captain, eight Lieutenants, and two Ensigns in the enemy' s possession, to wit: Captain Daniel Bowie, wounded; Lieutenants William Steret, William Ridgley, Hatch Dent, Walter Muse, Samuel Wright, Joseph Butler, (wounded,) Edward Praul, Edward De Curcy; Ensigns James Fernandes, William Courts.

Congress have taken measures for the redemption of the prisoners taken on Long-Island, and it is expected that an exchange will take place in a few weeks.
