And big with expedition, stand aghaf;
And tremble to hear the unfuffir able clangor :
When, 10l on a bright chad, throne, in all

Ten thoujand bellowing thunders burst around him ;
, While the huge archangel sweeps fun, Gars, and

In wild confufan; and hideous uproar,
To ope away for his triuntybal entrance.
Now, with putfont majesty, burfh forth

And breaks ajunder their iron slumbers;
While their guilt, fouls to gbafly bodies driv'n,

While pointed lightnings from th' impartial Judge
Transfer them to eternal woe : enwrapt
Infects of lightning,and confin'd in adamantine'
Chains and penal fire; with hideous outer),'

And eternal, ruin. (whores.
Behold the left-hand rabble! murderers, thieves,
Extortioners, rad tbofe who daren't believe, ,
Moan with dread amazement their fated dolour;
While forc'd the, are to own the justice, that

Sinners im,nitent of every dejeription,
In this wild uproar join;

Salem, aug. io.— Many of our
countrymen have been eager to run
into the British paris, wiih (applies of
prpvifions/in consequence of Admi
ral Jervis's invitation for that purpose;
but the treatment they hive in some
ioftances met with from that haughty
and infolenr people, has made the
privilege a d^r purchale. This is
verified in an affair:which took pl^ce
at Basseterre, (Guadaloupe) on ,he
18th of last month. A Capt. Hefi
of Philadelphia, with several other A
mericaos, had taken a store at Basse
terre, to dispose of their provisions. ,
While Capt. Heft' boat was employed
in landing the cargo, the barge of the
Resource frigatemet it, and impressed
one of them; the man, however im-|
mediately made hit escape, and run
itito the store, followed by two sailor
boys (one of which called himteita
midshipman) from whom he was dri
engaged by Capt. Hets and his part
ners. On this thev went off, and re
turned fhtrtly after, with a Lieut.
Prunot, and a maftet%mate ; these
two fellows immediately fe zed Capt,
H. by the ' throat, and (boulders—
afked him how he dared to rfefift his
Brittanic Majeft), Officers—and at
tempted to drag him on board the
frigate, to be chastised for his insolence.
Capt. H. however refitted such ite
grading violence ; and Capt. Gerifb,
of Boston, interfered and begged they
would use more civil treatment---
which brought on him the most abu
sive language from the Maftei's Mate.
When they fawthat Capt. H. was
determined not to be dragged thro?
the streets, Prunot laid his hand up
on hit (word, and (wore by G— — he
would run him through, if he would
apt go, and called for the guard to
take him into cudody. At length
they thought proper to let him walk
;to the wharf, when they conducted
him into the pinnace, guarded by the
ILieut, and M^ipman : who treated
him with the mofTabufive language,
Cant Gerriand the other Amero
tans followed to the wharf. The
iMafter's Mate, became very abusive
I and a°t^mOTed^b''re^^^
was in hirpower called him a rebel-|
lious, lying, deceitful,villainous rafcal.|
Capt. G. denied thecharge, and re
plied to hi, fcurrillity with firmnefs
and satire; on which the fellow struck
him two blows on the cheek, and (aid,
as he was a King's officer, he defied
him to touch the button of his coat.
By this time a large colleaion had
gathered, who generally condemned
the conduct of the man of war's man ;
but he clothed with official power,
continued his insults to Capt. G. and
the whole American nation. Major
Dean, the naval Officer of the port,
then stepped into the circle, and find
ing what was going on, severely re
buked this naval hero ; who begin
ning to feel his contempriblenefr,
foeaked off through the 'croud, and
left Capt. G. who being ready for
lea, failed Shortly after.,
Captain H. met with little better
treatment on board the frigate. He
had flattered himfelf that when he
fate the Commander, he should con
verse with a gentleman (as he was the
son of Sir John Lockhart Ross) and
receive prote&ion from the insolence
of hit underlings. The Lieut, intro
duced him, by kying;that be had tak
en a blade, who had re(cued an im
pressed man, and struck an rffi^r of
his Mejefty, belonging to the trigate.
Capt. H. denied the charge ; bpt was'
silenced by the son of Sir John Lock
hart Ross with this falutatibn—" You
are a damned, lying, republican rafcal,'
villain and fcoun#rel." Capt. H. en
deavoured to defend himfelf from
such imputations, which drew upon
him and his country, a torrent of the
most biltirgfgate languages—threats
of being flogged at the gang-way tqr
a damp'd rebellious rascal, and of .be
ing carried on board the Admiral, arid
hanged at the yard arm, which fate
was deferred by all his countrymen,
qs America did not contain an heneft
man, from the President down to the
lowest character, &a &c. After a
great quantity of such fluff, Captain
Ross ordered Lieut. Prunot to go on
board the rascal's vessel, and take eve
ry bouger he could find, and bring
them on board to feeve his Mgefty.
—Capt. H: informed him there was
a considerable property On board,
which he hoped he would take, charge
of at the tame time. ^ You be
damn'd (fays,Capt. R.) you never
got it honestly, and you may go to
hell if you can better yourfelf. The
boat was manned and armed to take
Captain H.'s Mate and people (being
only two remaining). On her return
to the frigaie, the two lailori were
taken out, arid Capt. H. was ordered
into it with his Mate, and dismissed
with continued insult. He was at
tended to hit vessel by Lieut. Prunot,
&c. to receive the tailors wages and
clothes : which the Lieut, took, and
endeavouring to be civil gave a re
ceipt for the money.
This narrative has been attested by
William Hess, Alexander Taylor,
John Harriot, David Hickley, and
Hezekiah Flint and is another moni
tion to American citizens, to dilcon
tinue all connexion with the flavei of
Britain,
In the last Saturday's Columbian
Certinel is a melancholy account from
St. Kitts, that the French troops that
have arrived at'Gtitod Terre, what
have not been killed by the Epglifh,
are nearly all sick and dead—that the
negroes have deterted them—and that
Ithe place will fpeedil, fall again info
the handsofthe Eoglifh, without any

i Capt. Tackei@o left Grand Ter
re the I Sth of July, is Os opinion that
jtyted^^ intended for Baf
fetetre, Guadeloupe ; as the French
wete in go6d health and high fpiriti,
as about 4000 Negroes were faithful
ly Shing duty as foldiers—ar the Eng
li(h who were there fuffered by fick-^
nefs touch more than the French —
and as they had accounts it was very
sickly in the quarter -pdfeffed b, the ,1
Englilh, and it wav expected they
would quit tuadafoupe entirely.
Capt. Tucker informs, that the na
val fotce which arrived at Point-a- Pe
tre was only 3 frigates ; whose guns
are taken out, and they hauled up;
arid that obffru^ion, are funk in the
road. The French are in no danger
of starvation, as a number of Ameri

Exkraß of a letter from a gentlemen of informal

dated ,une 7th, 1794.,
" At present the deyaffatjon in Europe,
exteeds any former period of civilized na
tions ; for I am within compass, when Hay,
that in Flanders, alone, 50,^00 young fel
lows have fallen by thg.fy.9rfl, during the
lift months May ; and-wiffiout^ either fide
gaining two leagues of earth, arid if Frahte
Wto be conquered at this ratio of human iffi
eolations, Europe will be depopulated, be
fore one province in France fin be fubjugat
ed.—Ou one fide, Freedom isthe obje& of
defence ; on rfhe'fide of ffie Allies, the plea
is chriftianhy. But Ido not recoiled that
Christ cu.t any throats, to m^ke converts.■
So far indeed from chrifthni p y bring prp
rioted, Wkind of brutality! anti fove of hu
man carnage seems to 'pervades each party-
Even the aristocrats begin to sicken, either
from theftread, of the tofedion of equality of
rights fpreadiog, or from a riting conyiaioq,
that z6.millioos of men, are not easily drag
ooned to submit to io milfops.
“ No indhridual can, I think, defend the
French in afl their cruelties towards each
other, either as politic *ot rational ; but al
lowing this, I cannot fee that it is our busi
ness to interfere in their internal government;
and even had we a moral right, does it seem
at all probable that England, with #4 4^
of the inhabitants of France, can annihilate
them ; unless like Sampson we bury our
selves qn'der the ruins ?
" Mr. Pitt himfelf, who seems ^^nie to
be a bold, loquacious, frper'rirfri2ii,srim-1
pelted to bold expedients by Hawkeibury and
Dundas ; men who promoted the American
cru fade to get an unconstitutional tax, and
in spite of experience, from disaster, have
plunged us into another crusade to get a
King, whose ancefters made a merit of roast
ing proteflants. I have long thought, poli
tics simple and familiar, were men honest
and virtuous who dried government ; but if
the few are to ride on the necks of the in
dustrious may, politics must be condaaed<
in mazes andcuives, to dift#,& and to blind 4
the mental fight, which in, bonefl; minds likes
to take ftra it lines."
