SALEM, aug. io.—Many of our
countrymen have been eager to run
into the British porti, with (applies of
provisions, in consequence of Admi
ral Jervis's invitation for that purpose;
but the treatment they have io some
instances met with from that haughty
and insolent people, has made the
privilege a dear purchase. This is
verified in an affair which took place
at Basseterre, (Guadeloupe) on the
ißth of last month. A Capt. Hess
of Philadelphia, with several other &
mericans, had taken a store at Basse
terre, to dispose of their provifioni.
While Capt. Heft' boat was employed
ip landing the cargo, the barge of the
Resource frigate met it, and impressed
one of them ; the man, however im
mediately made hit escape, and run
into the store, followed by two sailor
boys (one of which called himfelf a
midshipman) from whom he was dif +
engaged by Capt. Hess and his part
ners, On this thev .went off, and re
turned shortly after, with a Lieut.
Prunot, and a master's mate; these
two fellows immediately seized Capt,
H. by the throat, and [boulders—
afked him how he dared to resist his
Brittaaic Majesty's Officers—and at.
tempted to drag him on board the
frigate, to be charted for hisinfotence.
Capt. H. however resisted such de
grading violence; and Capt. Gerifh,
of Boston, interfered and begged they
Would use more civil treatment---
which brought on him the most abu
^^^FH^ Mafteft Mate.
When they law that Capt. H. w„
determined not to be dragged thro'
the streets, Prunot laid his hand up
would 'ru'nl’im thi^
notgo, and called for the guard to
take him into custody. At length
IthpVrhnnohrnrhnAfr tri tohim mallr
to the wharf, when they coududed
him into the pinrace, guarded by the
I Lieut@ and Midfntbman -who treated
I as thev rowed q/f^^V^^'^'^^^
I Capt, Gerrith and the other Amer,
icans totlowed to ? the wharf. The
I was in-his power called him a rebel
lious, lying, deceitful,villainous rascal.
J Capt. G. denied the charge, and re
-4 plied to his fcurrilfity with firmnefs
I and satire; on which the fellow ftrock
him two blows on the cheek, and said,
as he wo a King's officer he defied
him to touch the button of his coat.
By this time a large colleaion had
gathered, who generally copdemped
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 Os 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 contemptibleness,
sneaked off through the croud, and
left Capt. G. who being ready for
sea, failed (hortly after.
Captain H. met with little better
treatment on board the frigate. He
had flattered himfelf that when he
saw the Commander, he Should con
verse with a gentleman (as he was the,
son of Sir John Lockhart Rofi) and
;receive proteaion from tte infoleoce
of his underlings. The Lieut, intro- ;
duced him,by faying, that he had tak
en a blade, who had refeued an im
pressed man, and struck an officer of
his Majesty, belonging to the frigate.
Capt. H. denied the charge ; but was
silenced by the son of Sir John Lock
hart Ross with this salutation—" You;
are a damned, lying, republican rascal,
villain and scoundrel." Capt. H. en-.
deavoured to defend himfelf from
such imputations, which drew upon
him and his country, a torrent of the
most billingsgate language-threats
of being flogged at the gangway for
a damn'd rebellioui rascal, and of be
ing carried on board the Admiral, and
hanged at the yard arm, which fate
was deferred by all his countrymen,
as America did not contain an honest
man, from the President down to the
lowest charaaer, &c. &c. After a
great quantity of such fluff; Captain'
Ross ordered Lieut. Prunot to go on
f board the rascal's veflel,and take eve
ry bouger he could find, arid bring
them on board to serve his Majesty.
—Capt. H. informed him there was
a confideribl eproperty on board,
§ which he hoped he would take charge
lof at the fame time. " You be
damn'd (fays Capt. R.) you never
got it honestly, and you may go to
hell if you can fitter yourfelf. The
:&>it was manneffand armed to take
Captain H.'s Mate and people (being
only two remaining). On her return
to the frigate, the two sailors were
taken out; foci Capt. H. was ordered
into it with his Mate, and dismissed
/with continued insult. He was at
tended to his vessel by Lieut. Prunot,
&c. to receive the sailors wages and
clothes : which the Lieut, took, and
endeavouring to be civil gave a re
ceipi 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 citizen#, to discon
tinue all connexion with the Asa of
Britain. ^'^,^7

BOSTON, AUG. Ist
Extraa of a letter from a gentleman of informa
tion, in London, to bis friend in ibis town,
datedjHne 71b, 1794. „ & £, ^
<'At present the devastation in Europe,
exceeds any former period of civilized na
tions ; for I am within compass, when Ifay,
that in Flinders, alone, 50,000 yoking fd
lows have fallen by, the (word, during the
last month, May ; and without either fide
gaining two leagues of earth, and if France
is to be conquered ^ this ratio of human im
j molations, Europe will be depopulated, be
fore one province in France can be fubjugat
;edv— On one fide, Freedom is the obje& of
defence ; on the fide $f the Allies, the plea
is chriftianity. But Ido not recolted that
Christ cut any throats, to make converts.
So far indeed from chriftlanity being pro
moted, a kind of brutality, and love of hu
man carnage seems to pervade each party.?
Even the aristocrats begin to sicken, either
from the dread ofthe infe&ion of equality of
rights spreading, or from a riling conviction,
that 26 millions ofmen, are not easily drag
ooned to submit to 10 millions..
" No individual can, I think, defend the
French in all their cruelties towards each
other, either as politic or rational ; but al
lowing this, I cannot fee that it is our bufi
neg tointerfere in their internal government;
and even had we a moral right, does it feera
at all probable that England, wi:h the fati
of the inhabitants of France, can annihilate
them; unless like Sampson we bury our
f^ves under the ruins ?
" Mr. Pitt himfelf, who teems to me to
be a bold, loquacious, fuperficial man, is im
pelled to bold expedients by Hawkefbury and
; Dundas ; men who promoted the American
crusade 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 direst government ; but if
the few are to ride on the necks ofthe in
dustrious many, politics must be conduaed
in mazes and curves, to diftrad and to blind
the mental fight, which in honest minds likes
to take strait lines."
