Ilse jastome e this inference is confirmed if,. the testimony of mend witnesses, who, after hating hems ransom:ll, bare been detained as erisouers of war. The proofs which support the seventh article of accusation, show us, that the property of num tned intlivideals has been pillaged by the 'Mews end sailors of the English vessels cruising on the coast ; that the houses have been burnt, the churches profaned and destroyed. It appease, that the ofScers, animated by the presume of Minkel Cockburn, particularly distinguished themselves on this occasion, and that they were impelled by the united motives of evarice and vengeance; not contented with appropdming to themselves articles of ratite, they destroyed .all that could not gratify their insatiable cupidity.

The doopments prove that this is false. This protest has been found out to palliate conduct which no circemstances can justify. The Committee, fatly convinced that no person, either of this nation, or of any other, can read with out lively sentiments of indiguttion and horror, the bare recital of all the shameful violations of honour, justice, and humanity, of which our enemies have Min guilty, abstain from making any reflections on tbe docemertts which demonstrate theist authenticity. And let no one think of palliating these shameful actions, br alleging, that they were committed by sa vages. Every cleilieed nation is responsible for the.

It will be seen by the documents, if the English officers behaved in this affair like men of honour, and whether the na tional character has been avenged in this manner. The groans and the cries of the innocent Victims of a hellish immodesty at Hamptait were heard by the American prisoners; but they were too weak to reach the ears, and to disturb the repose of the Eng lish Officers, whose duty, as men, it was to protect the women whom the chance of war had put in their power. The Commissioners will not insist on this shameful subject. Human language has no terms strong enough to express the emotions which the exa mination of the documents proving these horrible facts, has escited in them,. and they rejoice that the American people has considered them as forged.— For the honour of human nature, they deeply re too clearly confirmed.
