Philadelphia, Thursday June 21, 1780.
WHEREAS it appears to this Board, That th'
sailors belonging to mips in the service of his Most Chris
tian Majefly, or his fubjeds, frequently desert, and go
on board American vessels in this port, or travel to other
ports, to the great injury of the service, and loss of their
employers : For remedy whereof,
Resolved, That the Sheriffs and Constables in a speci
al manner, and all other fubjefls of this State generally,
be direHed, and they are hereby directed, to examine
all French bailors whom they may find in the city (ex
cept on fllip board) or travelling in any part of this State;
aad in case they are found without passes from their re
fyeaive Captains, to apprehend and fend them to prison,
or otherwise secure them, until notice be given to the
Consul or Vice €onful of his Most Christian Majesty, re
fidiog in this city, who will take order thereon.
Extrafl from the Minutes,
T. M ATLA C K, Secretary.
JF HE celebrated /Ef?p who used to convey the best
, and wmlGmeft advise to the Athenians in his im
mortai fables, wrote the following apologue, wbilft that
famous Republic was groaning under the yoke of the
thuty tyrants, and no one citizen had courage enough
to eu icavour tp extricate his country from such a mife:a
bie ftriecf oppression:
' Thd fmeak said once to the fire : How happens it
c< tit I, who come out of thee, am so very obfeufe,
' wbilft thou fhineft so bright ? In this, answered the
'' fire, thou rcfembleft many sons, who obfeure instead
'' of acquiring the glory of their fathers."
This fa de was then juffy applicable to the Athenians,
and I am convinced the reverse is as juflly applicable to
us. Posterity will not fail to ask (if we continue to walk
in the glorious path we have already begun to tread.)
" How can the brave, the virtuous Americans, be the
“ sons of the base, the ungenerous Britons ?" Tne an
swer is obvious, though /Efop had not pointed it out in
his excellent apo ogue.
Othat we could for ever blot that inglorious circum
stance out of the annanls of our history ! Or that we were
like so many natrons, bleft with an uncertain and doubt
ful origin ! We would not then have to blush of unwor
thy forefathers, and the name of fens r/ Britens would
net remain to us an everlasting infamy.
I think lam not preaching a new doctrine, although
many of us have been entertained from their cradles with
notions far different from these- —Credulous to an excess
as we have been, we once have fondly gloried in a name
on which we ought bn the contrary to have looked with
horror and execration. Alas ! we then little knew what
monsters they were whom we called our pretedors and
our brethren. While they used here the most refined arts
of hypocrisy to make us believe that they were a gene
rous people like ourfelv^ they were rendering themselves
infamous by the most odious crimes, at home and in
ever^ part or the world;
But how could we be thus deluded ?—ls there any of
us whole enceftots have n^t fled from the crud perfect)-
tionswnich toofe tyrants were every day railing in their
own country, to deprive their fellow-citizens of their
dearest civil and religious privileges ? Are we not all fu
gitives from their relentless cruelty, and has not their rage
pursued us even to this extremely of the world which we
had chufeu for our peaceable re reat ! We ought at least
to know thorn now, know that the, have been above four
years waging amohg us a most impious war, murdering
and deftroyiog every thing that falls in their way, with
out the least diftin&ion of person, age or sex.
Wherever we may turn our eyes, every thing will re
mind us of the cruelty of that ferocious nation.—ls we
survey them at home, we will fee them imprisoning, expel
ling, beheading, jmpalipg with red hot irons, their Kings
a^d their Queens, * and fuffering a'terwardsthemfclves tne
most cruel persecutions at the hands of t, rantsof their own
felting up in fine,we will fee them committing the mofthor
rid,criires, to maintain themselves in that perpetual round
of tyranny and ^narciiy, ip which they have always been
involved since the foundation of their Empire.
If we turn our eyes towards Asia, we will fee an un
happy people whom the cruelties ofa Clive, of an English
man, have thrown into the utmost despair, and who
will one day 'rife in vengeance, and amply fetaliate on the
barbarous foreigners, who not contented with depriving
them of their liberty, have still been marking every day
of their residence among them by ads of the most flock
ing inhumanity.
In Africa we will fee them making an odious traffick
of an unhappy race, whom they condemn to fuffer all the
torments of slavery and exquisite wretchedness.
And in America— Here I find myfelf unequal to
the description.—Ye ghosts of departed heroes, who have
so bravely bled and died in the defence of your injured
country; you best can tel! us of those cruelties of which
you have felt such severe efFeHs. —Unhappy M'Crea,aud
thpu Hillmore unfortunate Caldwell, tell us whatkind|of
monsters they are who hav6 thus inhumanly dipt their
hands in your innocent blood. —They call themselves Bri
tons. --Curft forever be the name ! and let Br ton fignify
henceforward in the language of America, whatever na
ture can produce most de^flible arid most Blocking.
But it is to be hoped that poftetity will view us in a
more favourable light, than perhaps, from what I have
said, we might be apt to imagine. They will indeed, fee
in us defeendants of Brit&ns, but very different from our
fathers—And they will no doubt remember, that the Ro
mans, so celebrated in after ages for their wisdom and vir
tue, were in their origin but the refute of other nations,
and that from rhe most contemptible spark, a flame may
itife, that will cheer and illumine the world around.
