The great injury said to be done to our

% threat of an appeal to the people, seems
to have inflicted a much deeper wound
on certain heads of departments, than
either on the President or the peoples

against the other, they appear to be in
great pain, and at a loss how to cure it.
NINO fays he received his information
from JAY ; Jajt fays he had his from

Mr. Genet threatened to " appeal from

Esteemed Sir,
YOU will excuse the liberty
I have taken in gnclofing td,our
care, the petition of the Ameri
can captives in Algiers.
We, confiding in your well
known character, that you will
do us the favor to have the in
clofcd petition published in the
papers throughout the United
States, and to be stuck up to the
public view ; so that the citi
zens of the United States will
know the melancholy situation
of the American captives; and
we hope we shall know what our
fate is to be, and be put out of
this intolerable state of suspense.
We h^ve no doubt, but that,
ns a fellow citizen, and fellow
creatures, you will do us this
favor, and any other service that
your pcrfonal interest will en
able you to do.
I am, dear fir, with refpeft,
your most obedient servant,
RICHARD O'BRIEN.

In THE NAME OF ALMIGHTY GODI
The humble petition of the A
merican caplives in Algiers, is
most refpeafully fabmilted to the
confderation of the efzens of the
United States of America.
Fellow Citizens,
YOUR petitioners had the
misfortune to be captured by
the corsairs of this regency,near
ly eight years past, while we
were navigating vcffcls belong
ing to the citizens of the United
States.
That we were, for a confidcr
able time, flattered with the ex
pectations held up to us, that
we would be redeemed from
captivity, as soon as it could be
done confident with propriety
and the interest of our country.
That to effe& this ledemp
tion, Mr. John Lamb was sent
to Algiers on the part of the U^
nited States, and that he enter-,
ed into an agreement with the
regency of Algiers for our ran
som ; in consequence of which,
the furns were recorded on the
books of the regency at a bar
gain regularly made; bur Mr,
Lamb never returned to fulfil
them by the payment of the ran
som money ; though he promif.
ed in the name of the United
States, to do it in four months.'
That several persons have
since been empowered to make
enquires, whether the ransom a
greed upon by Mr. Lamb,
might not be reduced ; but all
attempts of that fort have hith
erto proved ineffectual. The
regency declaring, that the con
trad made by the agent on the
part of the United States ought
to be difeharged.
That owing to the melancho
ly fauation to Which we are re
duced, one of us, James Har
nett, has been deprived of his
fen^s by the Almighty, to make
him sensible of his situation as a
victim; & has, these three years,
'beenconfined in a cell inchains.
The rest of us have been left de
stitute these three years ; and in
this deplorable situation, many
of us have resisted the tempta
tions of the regency to enter in
to their service, which might be
attended in the remorse, and a
great detriment to our country
•—we trusting in the justice and
humanity of our country to ex
tricate us from slavery.
We have repeatedly petitions
ed Congress without effed; at
firft we were informed, that Mr.
Lamb would redeem us; next
that the United States were
poor, and that they were form
ing their government ; next,
that a subscription would be set
on foot, for our rcleafe ; next,
that the United States were
rich, and would make peace,
and redeem us ; next, that our
redemption concerned the peace.
In April last, Congress commit
fioned to try for a peace. The
Dey prescribed his terms more
favorable than the peace of the
Deans, Swedes, or Venetians ;
or even than the Dutch had.—•
We now hear that Congress has
rejected the peace with Algiers,
and given us up as victims, de
termined not to redeem us ; thus
have we fuffered an ignomini
ous captivity of eight years.
We pray you 'will confider
what our fufferings murt have
been, during this long period of
captiv e* ; three times fur=
rounGcffby the plague, which
has numbered five of our broth
er fufferers in the bills of mor
tality. The rest of us seem de
fined to ihare the fame fate.
The plague, that tremendous
and fatal disorder, at present is
ra gi n g i n '"s ^^ an d it seems
that we are to be its victims•_w
We arc on the vergeof eternity•
therefore, we beg of the citizens
oftn^ United States, in the name
of the Almighty and our Savior,
who died to redeem us all, that
our country will adopt some
plan to extricate us from this
city of human misery; and we
shall ever pray and be thankful.
