An arrival at Nevvyork furnishes l ondon
T.ccounis to Sept. 29. The public interest
wu wholly engaged in an eveut of * local
mature. The death of Sir Francis Baring,
one of the principal contractor* of the new
loan, had previously caused a considerable
depression of the stocks, and in a great mea
sure threw the burden of fulfilling the con
tract upon ihe other contractor, Mr. Gold*
Bmidt. Tins circumstance, together vmh
the numerous err.ba • assments which result
ed from tiie failures occasioned bv the de
cease of Sir F. Baring, caused a loss to the
-convractois of trow 5 to 4 12 per cent ac
cording to the nature of the several con
. tracts fur the new loan, In this situation of
(.■(fairs, Mr.,Goldsmith** fortitude is said
to have forsaken him : in a moment of in
sanuy he destroyed Ins life by the discharge
ot a pistol. Mr- G- is represented as a man
who was in high repute, hospitable and hu

m Mr. If -le-was apprized of the transaction
he immediately remitted money tor the re
demption of the people who were taken by
ll»e French privateer. Suvh m«n are truly
honorable.
“ I sailed from Liverpool on the 5th 1
K©v. 1809, for Amelia island, in the
ship Concord, William Sidney Smith,
roaster. On the 13th of the same
month we were captured by the French
privateer Decide—our Captain was ta
ken out and carried on board the priva
teer where he remained hut a short
time and returned back. He then went
forward and stated to the crew that bis
ship was taken and that he had but ten
j reunites to decide in, whether to hove
! his ship sunnt or give up three Amer
icans, as hostages lor the payment of
fwelve Thousand Dollars, He called
the mate and asked him if be would go
as one, alledging that he must give or.e
officer—he, (the Capt.) then called me
and Mathew Christian and ordered us
to get our things ready and go the
boat on board the French pii teer,
which we were compelled to tl not
; withstanding remonstrances to tl con*
. trarv. '] lie Capt. told me to oe of
good courage, that he would shape his
! course lor Philadelphia and send out
. the ransom moBey, which he never did.
“ I, together with Samuel Hender
son, the mate, and Mathew Christian,
were on board the said privateer about
five weeks—three Weeks of which time
we were closely confined below in
irons, subsisting on three biscuits per
day. After our arrival at Port Passage,
v. e were kept on board nine days, still
in irons—and then we were taken out
by a guard of soldiers and marched to
Bayonne, about sixty miles—from
(thence we were carried to the prison
where we remained Jour day« without a
morsel of any thing to cat, and then the
American Deputy Consul, Mr. Lamb,
came to see us and ordered that we
stiou! ’ be have prisoners1 allowance,
bread and water. The room in which
we were confined had in it from three
to five hundred persons at different
times—and out of this number I have
counted twenty-five dead bodies over
one night. There used to die from six
to twenty or upwods every day, ard
new piisoners coming in every week,
to add to the former victims. My two
follow associates in wretchedness lin
gered i rt liieir existence for about four
months, when both expired within a
• lay of e^.cli other. After this period
1 of time I remained in a weak and Ian
i guid state of health in the same ptison
for four months and eight days, when
a favorable opportunity presented for
my escape, 1 hey were bringing in 4
or 500 Spaniards, and dm in** the con
fusion of the scene I passtd the guards
and got off. During the lime of my
imp.isomucnt we had often written to
the the Consul for telief; we received
' no notice of any kind iu consequence
j of this. When I left the prison I had
j scarce a rag on my back—worn down
' by disease and hunger to a mere skele
ton, and destitute, I wandered ab »ut
until I found one of my own country
men and went on board his vessel,
where I experienced kind and humane *
treatment.—This was Capt. Deshidd,
of the schooner Independence, of Balti
more, whose kindness I shall acknowl
edge as long as I live. I came home
in the ship Ann, and arrived «t New
i.oiulon, on the 6th of September last.
“ On my arrival at Philadelphia, 1
waited on the owner, Mr. Daniel W.
Cox, and asked him if he intended to
make me ?ny compensation for m>
sufferings—-ne offered me tvenfj dol
lars for my expenses home, and after
wards consented to pay my wages, say
ing that I had no claims on him fer a
ctnt. Whether I have or not will l e
decided by an appeal to the laws of my
country. W I have no legal claims, 1
think on the principles of justice and
humanity, having suffered nearly nine
months s!l the inexpressible horrors of
a French piison, at the hazard of my
life ; and having been the means, in
part, of saving *.o the owner, a ship and
cargo worth as calculated by the Cap
tain, at least S 40,000, it v.l'A be ad
/
nutted that I have a ri;;!*t to expect
recompense.
“At present I am desti ute of the
means cl prosecuting for my lights,
and paying my passage from Philadel

The case before us, in a simple un
varnished narrative, is but one of thou
sands, wherein our countrymen have

er beir t a. : vpectable young man of]
our own town, fn vain did he apply j
to out Consuls in France for relief and
, protection—they would not or dure not
aflord their assistance. In vain did the
mother in the most poignant misery
anti anguish apply to our own Govern
ment lor their interference in restoring
her imprisoned son.—They would not,
or dare not exert themselves in a cause
as just as Hetven, and in a question too
which may hereafter involve the liber
ties of our whole country. The slaves
; and apologis.s of Napoleon, will not
acknowledge this to be a deed of his—
but let them De told that every act un
i der a despotic government is the act of
; the Sovereign—for his low dependents
and subaltern devils dare not relax or
disobey ; if thuy do, their heads must
answer the forfeiture.

If the votes in these towns are similar to
