immediately to Baiba, and lay the matter before c w b u.J ;
C-pt. Walker cam: to tiwi the beg .nung of November,
in g <od spirits, nut doubling from the idea ne had conceived
in England, that this board was eibblifhid for the regulation
of trade, and of coatequence that his vc<icl would be re.lored
to him without hefication ; he soon waited upon t 'u-ir lio
noun, informed them in what manner fais register had been
taken from him, and craved an order for the i.nmidiKC de
-liven of his veflel j but how great wa. his aiiomihment at
the reception he met with from their honours ’ some of
them not only neglected treating him with common decency,
but grolDy intuited him, and charged him with bringing tea,
china, and other contraband goods to Sheepfcut ; which
charges he denied, and offered them hi. affidavit, if they
desired ! however they fmahy told him their opinion was
that no fraud was intended by him in the voyage : Upon
this he again urged them to favour him with an order of
delivery, but they abfoiutely refuted doing it, telling him
that Malcom had commenced a polecuuon in the admiralty
against him, that he might dciend himfelf if he pleated, but
they would not interfere in the matter, nor hear any tmng
he lud to fay further upon the fubjeCt, and really farced him
from their honourable piefence. .
At length the day hxeJ by the Court of Admiralty for the
decision of this grand aaufe arrived, when, behold ! no libel
had been served on the brig, the Marlhail it seems not rtldh
ing the thought of wearing a new fashioned jacket,foaaUed at
Pownalborough by the tan, had deferred to serve the libel,
upon which the court was adjournU for twenty days, and a
gentleman of Pownalborough, a friend to CapuWaiker, was
persuaded to accept of a commission as Deputy Marshall, and
to proceed to the Eastward and feiae the libel, and make Ins
return during the adjournment; the evening before he was
to take his departure, an officer Wok him sth a warrant
from Justice Quincy, to answer to John Malcom, Eiq; lor a
breach of the peace fwom against him by fold Malcom; he
obeyed the summons, by applying to thejuftsce for mforma
■tion when and where he had threatened Efqu.rcMakom w.th
the lots ofhis life or members, the jufticc replied that Mal
com had not sworn that his life was in danger by this gentle
man, but that he was fearful this gentleman would either
beat him himfelf or hire others to beat him; upon the
whole the Justice for reasons belt known to himlelf, mfmih d
the Deputy Marlhail, who the next morning let out for
nalborough. . . .
During this interval, Esquire Malcom became suspicious
that the brig he had seized would not finally be condemned,
and knowing that Capt. Walker was abient when the urs
had their frolick at Pownalborough, and being determined at
all events, to fleece this unfortunate man if he polfibly could,
repaired to his lodgings and threatned to take him with a
libel for one hundred pounds fterlid| for taking in loading
without a permit, and with a second libel for another hun
dred pounds for tendering him a bribe. Capt. Walker
being an entire stranger here,and know.ng he mull be thrown
into the common goal, if taken with these libels, thoug
perfeflly innocent, was under the dilagreeable necessity of
making himfelf a prisoner for near a fortnight. Ihe Solici
tor being absent, Malcom assiduously applied to fever al gen
tlemen in the law for those two libels, and not ohtaimug
them, he prefled the Governor to recommend his hard case
to some practitioner m the law,for every one he had applied
tohadrefofed him alFiflance ; still the Esquire could not get
pofleflH ofhis beloved libels, and being determined to make
some b.»ld yulh at Capt. Walker, got into his lodgings, and
insulted and abused him with the most opprobrious language
it was possible for a man to utter; Capt. Walker fufpeOsd
his drift, bore this treatment with all imaginable paneace,
and Malcom finding he could not provoke him either to
threaten or strike a blow ; challenged him to a single combat
in Boston Common with sword and pistols; at all which
Capt. Walker only laughed and the Esquire at hit thought
proper to depart. ’
The gentleman wlm want to execute the office of Deputy
Marlhall, returned from Pownalborough and related that
Lieut. Mowit had removed Capt. Walkers brig, about
twenty miles from the place were Malcom seized her, and
had just got her under fail in order to proceed for feme other
port, at the time he boarded her; that he had read the libel
on board and delivered the veflel into the custody of the mate
and crew ; that after doing this he acquainted Lieut. Mowit,
with hi, proceedings and foewed him his authority tor so
doing, when the Lieut, began to insult him greatly, damned
both the admiralty judge and commiflioners, and (wore >1 he
had them thei< he w ould put them all in irons ; declared he
would carry the brig to any port that he pleafwi in fp.tc of
any officer on the continent, and threatned to fire a broadside
on the said Deputy Marffiall if he attempted to go on board
the brig a second time ; the gentleman however defpifmg
his threats, went immediately on board and took an inven
tory of what articles were in the cabbin s while he was on
board, Lieut. Mowit font a boat from the Canccaux foil of
armed men, headed by one Hog, who was said to be master
of the Canccaux, and by force took the greater part of the
men, to whose custody the Deputy Marffiall had committed
the brig, and carried them on board the Canceaux; and he
not thinking it prudent to coatend with luch tyrants, made
the best of his way to Boston, and made a return of his war-
The court of Admiralty set a feaond time,and Esquire Mal
com fixing the value of the brig at jooL L. M. and upon
fecuritv being given for that sum, the final trial was postpon
ed for fix months, and a writ of delivery iffusd from the
admiralty office ; ia conlequrr.ee thereof, Capt. Walker left
Boston to leek for his brig, not knowing where to find her:
he at last got intelligence that foe was in Plfcataqua river,
to which place he repaired, and found her in poUcflion ot
Lieut. Mowit, who by removing her from harbour to har
bour, had got her on Ihore and caused her to be very leaky,
’ he had also rendered one of her new cable* entirely ufeltis,
Which had not long before cost the owners above lol.fterhng.
this he laid was done in order to save the King’s Ihip from
going on (hore : He still refofed to deliver up the brig, un
less Captain Walker would produce him an order from Ad
miral Montagu. Capt. Walker then applied to the custom
heuft at Portfrnouth, and laid all his papers before the col
irftor, who after keeping them for lorne time told, him he
would not meddle in the matter, but at the fame time re
fofing to return hi* paper, unlels he would go immediately
to Lieutenant Mowit, and make up some differences with
him ; Captain Walker replied that he never had any differ
ence with Lieut. Mowit, and only wanted to obtain bisvef
fel agreeable to the writ of delivery. At length being worn
out with fatigue and vexation of mind, having no friend to
consult, and meeting only with frown* and intimidation*
from those who ought to have treated him with lome fr.a
dow of humanity, he was in Aft compelled to sign a writing,
of which the following is said to be a copy.
« K N O W all men by these presents, that I John W al

Lieut. Mowit having extorted ‘this very extraordinary
bond from the dubefied Capt. Walker, delivered him pollel
fion of hir brigantine, and immediately presented him with
an account, of above five pounds fttrlmg for provision, but
ter and rum lupplied his people, and demanded payment
thereof % Capt. W dker thinking his troubles were now at
an end, applied to the custom boule for leave to take his de
partu.e, but to his great furprize was informed by the collec
tor that he mutt firft wait on Governor Wentworth ; he
then applied to the Governor, and "received as great a /hock
as ever, by being told that the Governor did not know but
he /hould feuc the brig Brothers again, and bring on a new
trial; that there was light aponey for hint to pay at I’ortf
mouth, and finally, that he, fa d Governor, would not grant a
pa fs for the laid brig untill Captain W alker fwuld obtain an
order from the commilfioners for her delivery.—-In .this per
plexed situation the poor man, concluded to take another jour
ney to Borton, and upon arriving here was obliged ta make
him/elf a prisoner for four days,fur Esquire Malcom soon got
feentof his arrival, and used his mill afliduous endeavors to
get at him, but fortunately miffed his aim. Capt. Walker
at length obtaining an attested copy of Malcom s profccuti
on in the Admiralty court, together with the order parted
thereon, -f returned to Portsmouth, where it items he fatis
fied both Governor and collector, that it would not be pru
dent for them to interfere forther in the matter,and having
furni/hed his veffcl with provisions embraced the firft wind and
failed for Whitehaven. J
From the polite, humane, and generous behaviour of the

I DID not intend to have taken any particu
lar notice, of the EfTay in Draper’s paper,
of the 20th of January, by way of critictfin on
an acrostic, which the writer fays he “ noticed
in the last week’s SPY, on the name of a
gentleman of note and charafter”; but since he
has thought fit to oblige the public with ano
ther deep and learned piece on the fame fubjecl,
I shall jut take a fuperficial view of his per
formances.
I fully join with him, in his observation of
its being “ on the name of a gentleman of
note ana character”. But wherein does his
being such an one consist ? Is it for his emi
nent patriotism, in supplying our enemies in
time of war, not only with provision to sustain
them, but with weapons to destroy uj, his own
countrymen, that he is not- d I Or do his con
fidential letters, which, it is evident, were
wrote with a deiign to undermine, and over
throw our happy constitution, exhibit a gentle
man’s character ? Truely for these, and such
like nocable exploits, he is a gentleman of note
and character 111.
“ I could not (fays this writer) but feel a
compaflion both for the author and the objeCt
of his refentment— for the author, that the
fho. Id befo infatuated, as to fetch his ideas
from hell.”
It is very natural to suppose Lucifer would
esteem it a valuable acquilition, could he gain
the dominion over those who appeared to excell
in wisdom : And I will leave ittoer ery ipar
tial observer to determine, whether it can be
supposed, that the perlons pointed at in said
acrostic, and all of their clan, howfowever
wickedly inclined by nature, could conduct in
the manner they have,unleG instigated by.ibme
infernal agent.
1 hereiore I am not yet convinced, of there
being any impropriety in bringing ideas ana
logous to the fubjed on which 1 descanted.
Ihe writer next exprefles his compaflion for
the gentleman more particularly pointed at,
“ that he should be thus lathed by one’ of his
pitiful imps?’ It gives me not the least unca
£nc& to be called that, or any ocher name this
well bred writer pleases to bestow, except it be
those of pensioners, tools or pimps.
“ I cannot find (proceeds he) in all my
reading, that the devil (fina. his ejeftion out of
hd.v-n. arJ Jocm to chains ana eidmal banilh
tnent) has been honoured with iuchlordiy epi
thets and titks.” It is rufpm.ing, that a pvr
icn while re ding haatbeen lb exu niive, as hi
intimates bis has b< vn, fhoald overlook lb note d
a poet as Milton. If he will give himfelf the
trouble of peruf: ig M.Ron's Paraoife Loll, he
n uii allow that I had a very precedent
fur thole “ h rdly epithets and titles” Lcttowed
cn his mailer. •.
'1 hi* critic thus, of reading so profound,
Whole rcas ning, more than ler.fe, conhft in —found ;
Jn critfeifing, tho’ more nice than wife,
We fee the cloven foot through hi *
As I chink no part ofhis Hort’, applicable to
me, 1 shall not pretend to meddle with it, but
proceed to his
S'ECOND ESS AY.
The writer fpcaking of’.he author of a card,
fays, “ who seems not a little nettled with
muremarks on his laboured acrollic,” &c. pray
whci ein doesit apppear that 1 was nettled?
Was it exhibited in my not taking particular
notitx of so infignificant and groundless a per
formance as his Aril was : What perlon, who
endeavours to ad in charader, would be vexed
at the snailing of lb harndefs a critic ? If it
had been fuliicient to have “ nettled” me, I
Ibould have Ihewn it in a different manner from
what was ex ( reffed in that card ; wherein 1
gave him a piece of friendly advice, which, if
ne had taken, would have prevented me the
disagreeable talk of expoling his foibles.
Since he has placed himlelf in the critic’s
1 chair, let vt take a view of two lines inserted
in his piece, which I hope for his credit fake hj
was not the author of viz.
Let his rude lines with mine be weigh’d together;
Both in the ballxnce won’t down a leather 1
I do not pretend tube an accurate judge of
poetry, but I appeal to any one whois, whether
there docsftiot appear to be aneedlefs repetition
in those lines : 1 or after faying “ let his rude
lines be weigh’d” he then adds “ together” ;
(as if they would not weigh as nrui h separately) ;
and after he has thus placed them “ together,”
he repeats it by faying “ both in the bullance
won’t weigh down a feather” : Whereas if
he had pla .ed the words thus.
Let your rude line* and n.in«, be put together ;
« Poth in the taliance won’t weigh down * feather:
He would thereby have avoided the before
mentioned repetition and another of the word
“ weigh”; the fenfc still continuing the fame.
I flulHeave the •• wi;, sense and grammtr” of
his lines to be difepvered by some more pene
trating genius. ‘
I am not at all concerned at his terming what
I wrote, “ impertinence and nonfenfc,” consi
dering from whence the fensence came : Io»
would be a vain attempt to endeavour to re
form any of his Hamp, for there are
“ Some positive, periifting fops, wc know,
“ Who if once wrong, mull needs be always so.”
I fuppole it to be a mistake in the Printer,
that those four last lines which he quotes, are
-
ferencein regard tQ their gvamati- al pi«< i/im»
He next oblcrves “ what Impudence it was,
in Satan thus to presume to inftrud L rd Hdlf
borough in politics:” I confefs lam somewhat
of his opinion here. That is, I take it, the
Sentence supposes Lord Hillfborough so well
billed in his trade, art or miftery, that his old
faller was not capable of inftruding him far
jner, and it was therefore impudence to at
tempt it.
I think it is not an over-arduous talk to clear
up what this profound adept terms luch “ a
iurprizing work of supererogation.” Any per
son who has given attention to our public griev
ances, is no doubt quainted with the ihare
H n had in B d’s proceedings ;
and confequendy if things were •carried to such
an height by his diredion, when the reins of
government were in another’s hands, it is very
natural to fuppole, that when he came to be in
veiled with them himfelf, he would drive mat
ters in a still fwifter course in wder to establish
the beloved objed of their deiires, Despotism.
Further.it is not improbable, but that Satan,
from his intimate acquaintance with H • n
might (without the power of foreknowledge)
fuppole that he would contrive new schemes tor
that purpole ; such as cramming tea down our
throats, Sec.
Thu* have I trac’d thi* foriNer through the whole ;
And each may judge who ha* th* frnalteft foul.
Ev’n while he strives to lave a wretch * feme.
He doubly blaft* his own m*ft worthlei* name.
But here I’ll pause ; if no rejoinder s made,
When he leave* quibbling, I’ll then quit thi* tgada.
