Morisette was not in company with the other Canadians at Sydney, but belonged to a party of American convicts who were landed in another part of the penal colony; these last are reported to have been cruelly ill treated during their captivity. Morisette did not take his passage home with the others; they did not meet until they reached Whitehall, and their surprise was great, as they had never seen each other since their separation near Buffalo. The remainder of the exiles at Sydney were all well: some had the means of returning, but were waiting for their other companions in misfortune. It is said that pecuniary assistance has been forwarded to them, and that there is no doubt they are all now on their passage home.
