ICAN S Or but regr t the ill judged
policy which induced t' e President of
the Federal government to publish an i;n
solicited declaration of the part which the
free, sovereign and independent States of
Artier! a v. ill ast in the present scene of
Lclfifh warfare and heavenly reliance.—
v Why a.nit our sympathy—our warm at
tachment to the generous friends who
fought for us, and who now have to face
tile 1 tyrants of Europe, only because they
v.'idi to b free after our example, be
1,1 tinted ? Why mud the.pacific (iifpoli
tjops of the republicans of America, be
qvteltioned by a proclamation calculated to
imprt fs an opinion 011 t e minds of distant
nations, that we are ungovernable, sivag e
people, rot to be held in awe or fuljec
t?o'h, without fomethng like Frederick's
ifiandatc? and why mull the dignity, the
liberties and he commer e of the United
Sta .es, be fpo:ted away to please the des
pots of Europe, and insult the friendly de
meanor 'four brave allies ? What have we
gafned by this pompous display cf uncon
stitutional, impetial authority ? N.tional
inpignities from the very people (the Eng
lilh) for whom the proclamation was
chi fly intended ; our flag is insulted ;
<*» comm(t« diUreffed, and our revenue
undermined : for f our trade fuffers, our
impost will decrease. But, fay the pro
clam tioniles, the revenue is eolledh-d
Lorn the importations of British goods;
this is partly true, and partly falfe ; but
without making minute calculations, it
may be obf rved, that unless we can carry
our own pridrce to maiket, unmolefttd,
our imp;>!> wll avail us but little, iinee
without disposing of our good?, how are
we to pay for British articles ? The Bri
tish cruizers, by cbflrufting our com
merce. injure us in the moll sensible man
ner; while they deluge us with inunda
tions of their merchandize,they will hardly
fnfTer us to can y a ba: rcl of flour to mar
ket, without wreaking their envenomed
Vengeance on our helpless vcfTtrls —It is
truly enigmatical,"tha while a proclama
tion dfclaies, that the people of America
are dead to every sentiment of gratitude
—that they a'e entirely indifferent and un
inlerefied in the great druggie between
defpotic/io'ttw and republican liberty —
that wtl cold hearts, we will fee our
c'tily friends cut down, violate treaties,
and proflrate our rights, our glory, at the
footilool cf the Bri ifh throne—that
throne, which once deluge ! our country
in blood 1 - I fay, wh'te the fame procla
mation, or edit"*, iicprtffcs such ideas, the
pic-pie of America, pr.d tLc citizens <f
I'ranee among us, appear to have but one
wish ! They walk together, they fit to
gather, and they celebrate the political
birth-days of the two countries, with one
foul. No anniversary since the e'ablifh
ment of our independence has been kept
!ike the loft. The fourth of July, 1776,
while it gl (Mens every honed ; eart, wil
receive additional eclat, from the four
teenth of July, 1 789, —It is to be hoped,
when the representatives of the people of
America have convened, they will speak
the lentiments of their conftituents—lf to
iileafe those in high Rations, they betray
he liberties and happiness of the free
•epublican3 who elefled them, may they
1 ver more enjoy the confidence of free
Tien I But why should I ha/. -. rd a doubt
—will not a major ty in C'ongrefs be
ibove the influence ol the federal prero
native ? Sinecu es have multiplied excef
ively—Let us therefore be on our guard.

: ara&er of the F ench, liave not at t!ii'
I 'l e, maJe a good choic of their kind cl
:alumny. They have publicly declared,
fiat the English fjilors, who were prifo
urs, were treated with a vile parfirnony.
md that the captains of the merchant vef
els were r c uod to the fame alloAancc
A'ith their men.
As the public conduit in France is 0-
?en to every eye, the darkness which co
hered the ni) furies of all their adminiftra
ions having been dispelled by the light oi
that t-kunder which laid open to the view
jf mankind the dungeons of that inferna
prison, the Baflile, any person ie at liberty
to goion board the frigate Ambuscade.
now in this harbour, at any hour of the
lay, and consult either t> c prisoners, o:
the records of the daily expences, and he
will be convinced, that they arc treated
uft as the French sailors are. The cap
tuns of merchantmen, agreeably to the
national order eat at the matter's table ;
and both the captains and men participate
n the exiiao' dinary allowance of rum and
wine diftrihuted on certain occasions ; on
: 'ie 14th ot Julv the prisoners had, ss the
French, a double ation. Without divel
in£ longer upon calumnies at the naming
whereof every one that is acquainted with
the French chared r will fhn g uptheh
shoulders, I flinll only repeat, that he who
doubts what I h -ve here affer ed, may, by
,oing on board be cafily able to ascertain
the truth thereof.
On the other hand, let him cnl' on the
French conftil, and he \vi 1 be fiiown pic
tures of a very different nature—l (hall
trouble you with the ou lines of one only :
A French officer, a young citizen, with
1 heart replete with candour, late'y arrived
From Halifax, where he (us been detained
1 p'ifoner, declires, that he was 40 days
jn board the English frigate Alligator,
'vas every night put in irons, was, in the
Jay time, compelled, by blows, to work,
;nd was at !a!l reduced to a ration of ten
mnces of br"ead per day.
Many of you, citizens of America, can
ealize a lively colour of this fort of treat
ment, by a recollection of what you have
ormerly fufTered in a similar fit jatLon, fr.im
the lame Anient, generous and humane nation.
I cannot avoid obferring, that it would
ie prudent for Engliihmen or their adlie
ents, when they intend to attack the
French chara&er, in the presence of Am:-
icans especially those who live in the city
Df New-Yoik, to fiitin, with the moil at
tentive care, the word HUMANITY,
rom an apprehension that they might be
equefted to recolledt the total suppression
if that divine virtue towards their coun
:rvinen in the ship Jersey, and the various
prisons of this city, for a time fufficiently
long to carry thousands of martyrs in the
:aufe of freedom, to an untimely grave.
The English apologills ought to leave to
their great grand children the talk
of extolling that nation in a country, whole
v.- unds, received through her mercenaries
a "d hirelings, will not be perfectly closed
for a certs: y to come.
It is not difficult to dilcover the motive
for railing the bale calumny refpedting the
prisoners in the Ambuscade. ' 'i here are
people in this country who belong to no
nation, who are bed pleased in the rnidft
oj discord ; and having been accustomed to
look upon men a: Leads, a:;:ufe tLcjnfelves
in endcavoii-ing to ralfe one nit'on agnlnf!
anotner. J .iey wifn to raise tne paflions
of the foreign sailors, and prov .ke the n
to r. c:proc:;l infuks, with a view of giving
trouble to t!;e friends of peace, and of dif
ilurbing the police of tlii city.—This pro
ject i-j not concurrent with the principles
of humanity ; (-hi if i 3 to bi hoped, that
they will be foui d out, and when known,
that their ingratitude and malevole ce will
he permitted to pass without any punish

opi ion, which I have no doubt wiil do
fuli ju ft ice to my countrymen in spite of
fu. h insidious calumnies, and impotent
