Atreft, WILLIAM COOPER. ..
z- ‘ Town Clerk.
Yelerday morning arrived here the
British sloop of war. Nautillus, with the
General of Sc Lucia, and Family. ln
formation having been given to our
Assembly, chit several impressed Amei -
cans were on board, they had the Cap
tain before them,and insisted the Ameri
cane should be given up, or he and his
Lieutenant be detained Until they were.
The Captain, however, sent an order
tor their delivery, and they were land
ed, fix in number. Every one mult ap
piaud rhe tonduS of our Legislature in
the bufinefs.—lt was confident with she
digniy of • nation*
cppofe them. The pira kal conduit
ct the B^ttith has given them an unluc
ky opportunity to brawl against the gov
troment, for not pretexting tbofc who
are out ts ther reach, and never have
been deceived and milled.
From NEU PORT, May
detained st Bourdeaux by an Embargo,
finer the 12th day of August last.
Your committee of Public Safety, op
ptefled by a multiplicity of duties, all e
qually important, has not yet bearable
to decide upon our demancis.
Meanwhile by bur being longer de
layed here, a confiderableexpenie is ad
ded, to the immense losses which we
have feftained, aud for which we ;ex
peft from you a just indemnity.
We must recall your temembrance,
Citizen* Raprefefitatives, that a Jong
ftagoacion in your ports, asufelefs to your
country and our own as it is l^tal to pur
in ter est s, has reduced us to an abiolute
want of all the provisions which s were
provided for our voyages, and chat atthis
day it is with inconceivable difficulty,
that we arp able to obtain a bare fuffi
ciency of subsistence for one thousand
Americans, detained by your embargo,
io one of the cities of the Republip,
where provisions are so scarce, as to
diflributed in M ions extrknicly fmall.' ,
We shall obfervC to you, that obr }
COnflituents and. ourFelves, irftead pt -
confoming in part.the pittance of youg^
necessity, should have ere this, augn'ien’t-»
ed the (tore of your prdvlfidni, had we v
been permitted to diepart*—and a proof
of the truth of this aifertion is, that lev
eral American vcffdi who failed from j»
France but a few Ja|s before your Em
bargOi have already returned with con
! fid arable cargoes of flourend griih.
far be from us, Citizen^ the idea of
blaming the embargo which you have
thought it neceffafy to ley 6pon the vef
kis of a nation whose neutrality is un
queftionabie: We believe that the mea
sure was diftated dy imperious ciicum*
fiances, -which render it eicufable if not
jufvfiabfe. • 7’-
But as wt have already told you, out
resources h^ve long since been exhausted.
A thousand sailors are in distress : They
obtain with extreme difficulty, tut half
a pound of bread by the day. Theit
failed provifipns and ail others,are con
fumed—for thefc fen days, < hey have
been de ft flute of frefh‘ meat, and their
captains who for fix months s padj have
been obliged to borrow for their qw»
fupport--h*ve nd fort of means left, of
making any further advances for them.
Be pleased then, Citizens Reprefcn
tatives, to accelerate the moment when
justice Ihall be allotted to us. Deter
mined to leave Pirie, in * few doys, be
cause we have nos the means of remain
ing there any longer, we should Ills
compelled to abandon our yeflela to the
Republic, and ourselves id all the un«
certainties of chance, unleft we could
immediately obtain the indemnity due

One thing is clear, that if the French
have no pofleffion left in the Weft*in
dies, there can be no preemption that
American veflels found in tbofe latitudea
are bound to Inch, and therefore it any
■ oft our veflels should be detained, plun
dered or carried into port, it must be
the effeft of hardened villany, premedi

should be relented by immediate repri
sal». ‘ .
