And wove the garland for toy hair!,
• How oft, for Marian, end'd the bow'r,

No nrore his gifts of guile I'll wear,
But from my brow the chaplet tear ;
The crook he gave in pieces break,

Declaration of Capt fazes Martin Pollard;mite ,
Liberty, of New-York. •
Sayeth, that on the 2'oth of October, mil. at to
in the morning, saw a fhjp to leeward,, at the
fothend of Floras, bearing S. E. di^nce Qff,;
fappo^d her to be in chafe of us ; wmd.W.S.W
a: io tack'd (hip ; the (hip to leeward tack'd like- I
"wife ; at 3ln the afternoon the ship came up^fo
nigh we could difeern her colours, which proved
Tobe'Spauini; wehoifted our" colon, ;@e fired
at us, which (hot came within cable's length of usl
at half pad three, fired Several foots at u,, which,
fell almost along tide; then I.hove t 00,., the ship,
Aikewife did the fame, and flill kept firing.' 1
made fall, being to windward, and run down on
her, but before I got abreast of her, (he^hauled
down the Spanifli and holfted English colours ;
when I got within hail, I was ordered to come
under her lee,,and hove too ; accordingly I did;
a boat with an officer was diTpatched-from the
vefleL who boarded me, and overhauled my papers
' and people's protections ; he then ordered me to_
get my papers and come on board with him, which
I did, after giving him feme fruit ; when 1 came
on Soard the (hip, which pvoved to be a Britilh
frigate ofzß guns, called the Brilliant, tome of
the officers then acenfed me with being a damned
rafeal and coward; I was. then ordered by the ol
frer which took me onboard to go down into the
.cabin ; when on my arrival, the captain (as I sup
pose) wanted to have a calk of wine ; I made re-•
ply that I was not authorised to fell or give away
any part of the cargo/ as it was not my owner s
property; but be Should be welcome to any I had
on board for myown life ; he tlien used the mod
opprobrious language, by calling me a damned
rafeal, and tying that all Americans were rasca ls,
and ordered,me to quit the cabin,which I immedi
ately did and went on deck; he then orderd hifoffi
cer to put me on board, when after I got into the
'boat to go on board, and got part of the way , he
called me back, ahd got me on board the frigate
again, and told me to hand on deck, as he should
have me ducked, which %fe immediately put into
execution by his orders, in the following manner ;
Iwas put into a calk cut in the manner of a chair,
wherein I was bound by his fall lieu@ant, OTtn
I remunerated by telling him it was,hard u^e
for an American to be treated in this manner, he
then replied that itT-fyoke one word he-would
gagmie, and afterwards bang me tothe yard; arm ;
he then ordered.my ship to come under his lee,
and ordered my mate to fend the boat on board
as soon as the (hip came tinder his lee ; he then
had me ducked from the main yard arm ; when
after remaining some time, he permitted me ' to
soon board my own ship in my own boat; and
told me he would keep me three days ; when I
•got on board, beared several diet round my vef
when 1 was exchanging my cloths, the form
er bein^ all wet—after which I hoisted my col
ours in diftrels ; he then aflailed me in the former
tenner, by calling me a damned rafeal ; when be.
Sade fail and left me (landing to the A. and W.
lit bring then.fix o'clock in the evening, when the
Northward of Florus bore E. By S. |S. alliance
nine leagues, when night coining on I upde fail
jod saw no more of him bit* the day following,
when at it o'clock in the morning, I perceived
him Handing to the nethwared and westward.

“ The Georgia Legislature, upon counting over
the Yazoo money in the tr^afury, found that 9 or
10,000 dollars were miffing; the greater part of
which, it is said, Mr. James Simms, of <be House
of Reprefen,atiyes, borrowed from Maj. Eirrien,
treafarer, The money which Mr. Simms, loaned,
he entrnfted to a person of the name of Speers, to
purchase negroes in Virginia, Speers, according
ly went, and purchased a con'drable dumber of;
negroes; and on his way, returning to this slate,
the negroes rose and cut the throats of Speers, and
of another man, who accompanied pim. The.;

killed. Ln consequence of this misfortune, Mr.
