inclined to believe that, generally
speaking, those who make the most
Noise on such Occafioni would rifle

The President is attacked for iffu

Writers in the National Gazette
endeavour to persuade the World
that his proceeding in this Instance
has occasioned " clamours and Un

There are convincing Proofs that
such fluff is entirely without Foun

Overshoot their Mark.

" Being on my passage from Cape
Francois to Jeremie, at 6 o'clock p. m.
saw two (hips to the westward, and a fail
in fliore of us, then the Mole-Head bore
N. by E. difl. 8 leagues : the vessel in
fliore gave chace to us, and at 10 o'clock
p. m. came up with us, and firing a shot
at us we rounded to ; she proved to be
the schooner Tyger, from Kingston in Ja
maica, a British privateer, commanded by
James Smith, mounted with eight brass
three pounders, and one howitzer in the
bow. She ordered the boat to be boifted
out, and to come on board, which was re
lu&antly complied with. After examin
ing my papers, he detained me withtwo
of my men, and went on boafd'with part
of his crew, and searched the vessel, after
which he took the remainder of my peo
ple except the mate and boy, leaving four
of his men and the second lieutenant on
board of the Fair Lady, giving orders to
follow him ; she then gave chace to the
two ships, and finding them to be Brirfli
vessels, pursued a boat that was feat to
Jamaica to give information, in case the
privateer should be French, and they
should be' taken, but finding bis mistake
ruturned to us, searched a second time,
declaring that he knew there was French
property on board, and if we would not
give it up he would carry us to Jamaica,
but finding none he left us, after being
prisoners eight hours, taking two of my
men, Jonathan Peter Patterson, an Ame
rican: and Adolph Gaffe, a Swede, with
out either bed or cloaths, except what
they had on, notwithstanding my entrea
ties in their behalf and their own dislike
to his measures, hejdok them off ; I also
represented the difidvanta^es that would
arise from it, as 1 had only one man left
that could steer, but all in vain."

Should tamely fuffer our trade to be ob

perious nation, and our throats cut by
their instigation, in the Weftern Territo

proper sense of themselves, and it is rea

Almighty power will.
