Britijh & French "Amit)''
—O
Portland, sept. 19.— OnThurfday
IgCapt. Nathaniel Jones, of the brig
Cen. Warren, of this port, arrived from
Subi after a paff^ge of 37 days. Soon
rer leaving the port the Captain who
was in the c 4bin, was informed that there
was a vdTel to the windward. Capt. J.
came immediately upon deck, and fup
oofio^that the vessel might be in chafe,
hove [is main topsail to the mast and
kept under genteel way. The unknown
purftier, which proved to be a British
armed brig of 16 guns, when firft difcov-
CTed, was about two miles distant, soon
came up with capt. J. and fired a musket ;
whereupon he fettled his top gallant tails
and hove his vessel dead in the wind. Her
boat was then feat along fide, and the
men immediately boarded the Gen. War.
ten, seized the Captain with violence,
tearing his clothes from his back, forced
him into the boat & carried him on board
the Britifli veflfel. The English Capt. then
apcofted h ; m in the following language —
" You damn'd rafcall, why did not you
heave too when you saw his Majesty's
colours ?" Sir said Capt. J. I saw no col
ours, toe) muff have been hidden by your
fails. "But you damn'd foundrel, did
you not hear the gun ?" Yes, Sir, and
immediately hove too. " You lie, you
damn'd eternal rascal, fall upon your
knees in a moment and afkmv pardon."
I am in a merchant vessel of a neutral na
tion, said capt. Jones, am on the high seas,
and am not confeioes of having offended,
for what then fhouid I a& pardon ?" God
damn you, fall upon your knees in an in
fant or you ftiall receive a dozen" was the
4mfwer, Capt. Jones replied that he might
do as he pleased. " Take this fellow to
the gangway, said the Englishman, and
give him a dozen." Capt. J. was accord,
ingly dragged to the gangway and there
beaten as directed by the commander of I
his Majesty's armed brig, until at length
he felt himfelf obliged to bow the knee,
send fay whatever his Britannic Mfrdy's
Capt.pleafed to dilate. After manyinfults
added to stripes he was returned on board
his own vessel. The. Captain's little
brother, a lad of abort twelve years of age,
was then forcibly taken from him. On
this occasion, the most tender expoftula
liens were used, till at length, Capt. Jones'
Mate, Mr. Emerlon (and i is with plea
sure we mention his n^me) offered him
fefinftead of the lad. This was refuted
with the molt abusive language. How
ever the lad was at last given up and
Capt. Jones permitted to proceed on his
voyage after taking two of his people from
him. He was informed by those who
boarded him, that the name of the Eoglifli
brig was " The Hunter;" but on Laving
her, he observed on her stern, " The Di
ana of Venice," (or Nevis ) She mean
ted 16 guns , and the failing matter said
his name was W. W. Bush.
The fang of the above renders it ne.
Ceffiry to lay it Was copied from th
Chronicle,
Schooner Monongahela Farmer, Capt.
Mullee from Trinidad —arrived at New
York Sunday last—" Aug. 18,lat 12, 20,
lon. 62, i§, was brought ton by a French
privateer of two carriage guns and 25
men. While going under her lee, they
inhumanly fired 3 guns and several vol
lies of small arms, fame of which struck
the veflel ; treated us with the most a
bominable language, (wearing we fliould
pay double for the foot they fired, their
only plea for plundering the veffel —on
the Captain's going on board with the
papers, he was confined below by a
guard fixed at the companion ; the boat
returned with 8 armed ruffians, who im
medbtly began plundering ; they broke
open a hhd. of sugar and took about 400
lb. all the cabin Itores, several pieces of
linen, and 20 dols. from the Capt. It
would be too tedious to enter into a mi
nute description of this languioary ban
ditti ; fuffice it to fay, that after pilfering
what came in their way, they returned on
board the privateer, released the Capt.
»nd Differed us to proceed. August 30,
was brought too by a French privateer of
four guns and 40 men—-they out boat
and came on board ; treated us with very
abusive language, and on their leaving
the vessel, had niggardliness to plunder the
cook —alter detaining us one hour, per
mitted us to proceed."
Clt is the duty of Mr. Madison, Stere
far, of State, to direa, that Capt. Jones
and Muller, fliould be summoned before
the Diftria Judges of Maine and New-
York,and made to declare on oathto the par
ticulars of the aggressions narrated above ;
that the fame may be laid before the
President ; that If found true, all due mea
lures fliould be taken by the Government
of the United States to obtain national
fatisfadion therefor ; or if falfe, that the
propagators of the falfhood may be prop
erly exposed and punished.

NEW-YORK, SEPT. 19.
NEW MODE OF TREATING
Yellow Fever.
The fora of Wednesday last contains
fom inteiefling advice on the fubjed of pre.
venting Yellow Fever. An article is in
serted, stating, that, where, sundry inso
lent fugitives from New-York, have had
the daring impudence to come & die in
the city of Philadelphia, with malignant
fever—therefore the following humane re
gulations are proposed. Should any perfa
be daring enough to introduce him or tylf
from the city ts New York, the, florid he
made a public example oj : tney florid, imme
diately on convifiion, be pubhckly led through
the streets of the city, befiles enfotting the pen
alty the law dire^s, and their names publish
ed in all the papers of the city : and if this
did not atfwer the purpo/e, they jkould be
tarred and Feathered.
Who that has a spark of feeling, will
not reprobate such barbarous and lavage
expreflions ? Should rhe people of the
country be influenced by this advice
whether should our devoted citizens fly
in the hour of calamity ? It reminds us
of the conuu& of Spain on a very recent
occasion. When a malignant disease
prevailed in Cadiz, a cordon of troops
was drawn across the country, and the in
habitants thus abmloned, di(heartened,
and confined to situations, ravaged by
p-ftilence were left to die bv multitudes.

The great utility of the invention is

By the assistance of this Spring, either the

a Window without its being completely

The expence is so very trifling it would
not be an object with a Person in moder

set in old Windows as well as new, and
no fear of their getting out of repair.
No person but the Subferiber has any
right to use or vend said Springs within
the above location.
