34 paifengers. She left the Cape July 3c.
Under the weft Caicos the Pruc;euce was
boarded by a privateer from New-Provi
dence, and compelled to anchor. Notwith
itanding the representations of the captain,
and the prayers and intrcat'es of the pal'-
fengers, the inhuman Britiih, privateer's
men plundered them of their p'lare, a few
pieces of linen, some boxes of fcap, and
fo;ne money in their pockets, their last re
source in the strange country they were
to, and the miserable oitrance they
-h'ljd left si om the ruins of their fortunes
in rlifpaniola. •• The persuasive cries cf
the widow and the fathcriefs, the pleading
tears of elegant and imploring Beauty, the
eloquence of generous and manly persua

so tar as to prevail upon the captain of the
privateer to return one piece o' linen, and
a few silver spoons and forks to a widow
whom he had robbed of a confiderabie a

the legislature in the senate chamber, and
delivered his speech 011 the opening of the

From the gen-eral afpefl j>{ the London
and other Englilh papers, the cause of re
publicanism in France is on the verge of
ruin, and a counter-revolution on thepoint
of 6eing effected. From our own former
?:tper ence, large allowances niuftbemade
111 reading those accounts. It is well re
membered, that (luring the American u ar,
the Royal Gazette, at New- York, detailed
I'carcely any thing else but a conllant fuc
c-efiion of tiie molt brilliant victories gained
by the king's troops for upwards of seven
years ; and even Cornwallis's capture was
by fi.-ne of the royaliffs, interpreted into
a fignalbleffiilg to the arms of Great-Bri
tain, and their glorious monarch.
An American vcfl'el was, in June last.
captured by a French privateer, out of
Nantz, and fix of her hands, with a mate,
taken on board the privateer. The veflel
<vas afterwards rc-tcken and carried into
.01 tfmonth. in England. The American
feiimen sued the privateer, and obtained
damages for their detention, their wages
from the time of their capture, until they
should reach a port of the United States,
their pafiage, and all cofis of suit to he paicl
by tiie privateer, who belides forfeits forty
tnaufandlivres, for insulting the American
flag.
