{"value"=>"On leaving Portsmouth he gave orders to release all prisoners that had not been taken in arms or that had not persecuted their countrymen of different political opinions; he supposed that Royall and Archer had been set at liberty; but the commanding officer at Portsmouth thought proper to detain them, as they had been made prisoners not only for refusing to give their paroles, but for threatening to force their neighbors to break theirs."}
