Wedncfuav, May 1 at 11 o'clock a. m.
C ipe Si. Nichols E. N. E about eight
leagues, a frigate of 32 guns passed to Ice
ward i f me, hoi'led tlie National colours o'
Fr.ficc, and fired a gun .0 leeward. lim
mediately set American colours: the in
lhint they were up (he fired a (hot, which
patted between my malls ; I conceived it
was meant to hu!l me : She was not fa
distant, and vfe bad a finooth sea, 1 bore
tip,run down near her wake and lay'l by :
She ilood on with her mizen top fail ab«ck

wore snd (lood after her ; (lie then back'd
lie' main top fail;'about 1 one o'clock
P. M. came up with her—and after I haH
answered to number ofqueflion?, they ap
peared to be f tisfied, as they did not board
me, and the officer on deck told me that 1
ni'j;ht make fail and (land on my course ;
which I turned my attention to ; bu-. had
it soon called off by the Captain, I sup
p'fe, who c lied to me from the quarter
gallery in this manner—" My lad ! I
would advise yon the next time you fall in
with me to bear down imm diately, G-d
d—n you ; 1 ' I replied, "I do r.ot think
that fucli treatment i» due to me, and I
thi'.k hard to be fired upon after I had
Jay'd by." Captain, " Not another word
from you, you damn'd rascal, or by G d
I'll fire a broad fide into you and fink you
tli's instant." I replied, " That you can
r?o, as you have your cannon in your own
pofTeflion." Captain, " Damn you, I tell
you I'll fink you when I fee ycu apain, i
vau behave in the manner you have done.'
I replied, " I know how to conduct my

Great-Britrin." Captain, '! You are all
doing her all the hurt you can. I know
very well it is French property that you
are loaded with." K'p'y, " I know to
the contrary, for the greater pa t of it is
my own." Crptain, " Hold your tongue
G d damn you ; if you fay another word
I'll make you hoiit oat your boat and
come aboard." Reply, " That will give
me a great deal of trouble, bill I wi(h to
be treated well by all men." By this time
I had w >re fliip, and we began to separate
fall ; the Captain continued to fay some-
did not wel!under!land,Scnot wiPuing
to have the trouble of hoitling out my
boat, which threat I thought it mod pro
Lable he would put i.i execution if any, I
made no fu r ther reply : Ihe frigate conti
nued liner the fame colors while I saw her.
I .eft it may be thought by some that I
bad gave some caufc for this abuse, the
follow ing is the quedions and answers that
pafied previous ; and I believe, with hardly
the lufs 01 addition of a word. Question,
Where you from ? Answer, Aux

To New-York. What are you loaded
with ? A. The produce of the island,

such particulars. news was there

ceive an aifwcr I then asked, Will you
oblige mc so much as to ted me whether
(he is a king's ship or not ? To this also
no answer vva* given—something was then

keep from falling foul of the (hip—l asked
what was said i The officer on deck re
plied, " You may make fail ar.d (land oi:

To the Editor tf the National Gazette.
SIR,
The following observations arose in confe
rence of a warm deb.ite concerning
French affairs, between two of mj
friends—lf vou think them worthy ;
corner of your gazette, your infertisf!
thrm will much oblige one who nevei
was in print, and
yi Conjiant Reader.
Mr.FRENEAU,
THE total condemnation of the pro
ceedings of the French republic, by
the inhabitants of this part of the (late, i 1
very aftonif.iing The king is here la
nented in words expreflive of the moll fen
llble anguish ; our prints are conftantl;
conveyin • to us paragraphs replete wits
sorrow—l am led to conjedlure that they
would be placed round with black, if d ■
collation (Wild be the happy and honor
able fate of ihe great and illullrious Ar
nold, whose greateit crimes are nothing in
consequence, or in numbers when corr.pa
red with ihofe of the great benevolent and
sincerely regretcd despot: Even then Ar
no'rf would soon fink into oblivion, but
the (ufferings of the latter are induilrioufiy
and perfeveringly presented to our feelings.
View the former, as the American H;n
nibal; view him at Quebec, on the lakes,
md near Saratoga ; contidcr hiin at Welt
Point—See Louis afiiiling us on the ere
of our well known emancipation, or humb
ling an inveterate foe and eternal rival—See
him granting his fubjefts privileges to aug
nent his cxhaufled icvenue—fee him at
V.riail'.es ; at the Champs de Mar; on his
flight ; as the private supporter of the em
bodied fugitives at or near Coblents ; as
he retainer of a few Swift, to guard 24
millions of bis people—the 10th rtugult.
However a tamous exciseman fays, ' that
for a people to be free it is fufEcient that
thev mean it.' It evidently follows t'sat i 1
a people w\Jh to be governed in any othei
manner they ought to be gr.itifi-'d.
Not interelledly, but with the good oI
the people at heart, I am now preparing :
form of government which I am convincet
will be congenial with the fouls of my fel
low c'tizms, ('/übjefls I will hereafter fav (
and wh'ch I will Pnorlly favour the work
with Lead I may heighten curiosity toe
much, shall now submit the outlines to then
consideration. The present Hate of S.
Carolina shall henceforth be
an independent kingdom ; in which on<
king (no matter if a kin to the interl pel
Bute) under the check of I;o hereditary
lords and 200 commons, elected every ij
years. Everv person without dillindbor
may be an ele£V>r, provided he a£tua"lly
enjoys 501 sterling annually, landed pro
perty. I fear 1 shall anticipa emy futurt
plan, therefore (hall only observe, that this
royal fabric is to be rai ed on the now con
jealed b'ood of the Cowpens, Camden, and
Eutaw Springs.
Pray, Sir, enquire if it is common 01
singular, that S. and E. merchants not
conten ed with rifling our pock-ts and
daily Llling our lands and negroes, mult
alio here tellify their contempt of our pre
sent republican government, in an indireit
way, by so ar lently and pointedly con
demning and deriding the only other form
in the universe which befers any resem
blance to it.

From the New-York Journal.
IT is laughable to observe the zeal which
the pretended neutrals among us evince,
whenever an opportunity offers of crimina
ting our brave defenders, the enlightened
republicans of France—To every honest
American, it mufl appear manireft that ail
their infernal machinations only tend to
create a jealousy between the two friendl*
republii s, which, clad in the robes of li
berty, dart their effulgent rays throughout
the globe —Americans, be liberal,be peace
able, and be juil!—Remember when your
wives, your daughter, your motiiers, n« G
your fillers were torn from you—when
your houses and barns were destroyed, and
your chi drtn fcalpcd and butchered, wlio
Itood between you r.nd the clankinj* chains
of British ministerial despotism. In re
fpedi to the proclamation of the Prehdent,
it only amounts to this—That we are de
firoris of remaining in peace—not that we
are to become the dupes of ingriies among
us, who, like the serpent did to Eve, would
fawn, and cringe, and gi'in, and lie, ?nd
flitter us to our ruin. Cliarafters of this
cast take the lead among us. Tiiey are
iicn pushing their malevolent faces into all
circles, and, like true imps, whisper into
:; jr ears, that to become great and happy,
we must join their good king, and affilt in
rutting the throats of our allies. They ai
ftrft a llrong liking to the neutrality, but
it is only when put in force againlt the
French. If a native of, and friend to A
merica, lisps out in a feeble voice, grati
tude at lead should induce m to wi(h well
to Fr ince— he is spurned at, and to'd, that
lie fiiouid beware of offending Britain; that
the French, because they have beheaded
iheir king, are brutes, fivages, and infidels.
These men are endeavouring to procure
addresses to that brave republican, the
worthy execut ve of our Hate, with the base
Intention of warping the national fenti
ment. Because we have been generous e
tough to remain inactive, they wi 1 not al
ow us an opinion. What a phenomenon
n politics, that men, not citizens of this
country, but who are only British agents,
"ent here with the avaricious design of
greying upon our commercial vitals, & ex
panding the wealth of our country, should
je fuffered to take the lead in forming our
opinion, and dictating what ought
o be the conduct of a free, a great, and a
jratefu 1 people! L;t us. by o'.r demeanor,
•nake it known to ill men, th-it, while we
prefer a Hate of neutrality and peace, yet
ve cannot but f el a i anxious f ilicitude for
lie success of the glorious flruggles which
he Frtnch people ate maki ig, to o'o
ain t'n?t heavenly jewel which wefojullly
3r z •—And that, notwithstanding our pa
:iuc temper, we never will be found under
he standard of hellifii despotism, while the
>anner o l god-like liberty is seen waving
>vtr the field.
