Mate, and four of the crew, in such a
manner as rendered them unable to do
duty. They also insisted on my com
ing on board, and taking the ship a
gain into port. I told them that unless
the superior officers wanted my servi
ces I could not give them=:hey ans
wered that they were too severely beats
en to come on deck. The sloop of
war lying on the Mercury's weather
quarter, I thought it advifeable to firft
speak her, which I did, hnd was in
formed that ffie was from Bermuda,
on a cruize, and had the day before
captured a Philadelphia schooner from
Cape Francois for Philadelphia. I
asked the reason of Capt- Waters lay#
ing with his colours hauled up. The
Capt. told me Waters was pretty well
done over ; that he had feat his Lieu
tenant on board, who informed him,
that the ship was H. M. ship Brutus,
and asked for some grog and provision
for the people; which Capt. W. re
fufed to give; when the Lieut, sent
Waters on board the Brutus with his
papers; some of the British sailors re
mained' on board the Mercury, while
Capt. Waters underwent his examin
ation, who, on their return, said W's.
mate and cfrew insulted them by damn
ing his majesty's ship and all hands on
board.
“I then left the Brutus and went a#
long fide Capt. W. who then came on
deck and told me that the ship fired at
him in a calm, which was the reason
of his refufing them provisions. That
he and the British captain parted as
gentlemen ; but when he was about to
make fail, was again boarded by a
barge containing the captain and a
number of sailors, who, with the capt.
said they had come to get redress for
the (supposed) insult which had been
offered to his Majesty, Captain W.
said he should give him none, as he
could not be answerable for the con
du& of his sailors in his absence. On
. which a skirmish took place between
the British & American sailors, which
capt. W. went forward to endeavour
*to suppress, when the British captain
Struck Waters several severe cuts with
his hanger, which captain W. endeav
oured to retaliate with a billet of Wood
—the fkfrmifh grew warm— several of
the Americans were knocked down
dead, which irritated their comrades
to such a degree that they threw some
of the English sailors over the bows,
and gave them a chance of fwiming
for their ship, and drove the captain
and the remainder into their boat, and
obliged them to push off. The mate
was so much injured as to be confined
to his bed, as was also 4 of the tyen<
[Capt. W. was very much wounded,
but said he would endeavour to keep
his coorfe that night, and if he grew
worse, he would come back. I left
him at 12 o'ckock. The next morn
jng saw the sloop of war board a brig,
which soon altered her course, as iffhe
had been taken. All this was but a
short distance fro:n the Capes.

We have some farther statements by A. Camp
bell, relating to Mr. Pickering, which we (hall
give the publics. He Rates Mr P. to be in debt
to the U. S. when Mr. Adams turnid bim adrift,
upwards of 600,000 dollars !—The annual in--
tereft on which at eight per cent, (and 8 is the
inrereft which the government pays on the loan,
raised partly on account of this fame fum)—
the yearly interefl is 4800 dollars ! Mr. Picker

Campbell (who it feemil was a Clerk before the
exhibition of Fire- Works at Washington) has
pledged himfelf to the People of the United S.
to fubGantiate his statements—is hefails, then
let disgrace faften on him, instead of Pickering.
From a devoted Federal Ns<wfpaper.
" Chancellor Livingston, andfar of his bro

is not less than 13,000 dollars ; and when his
salary as an ambassador commences, the sum
will be encreafed to at least 19,000 dollars, be
tides several thousand dollars for outfit— Who
would not call (hemfelves Republicans ?"
Not the Federall4s, to be jure ! But do these
federal hotheads mean to flor the present ad
ministration, and insinuate that men are Re
publicans for the fake of Salaries ? While they
are thus measuring Republicans by their own
yardsticks, they ought to remember, that under
the former administration there might possibly
be some attached to the 1 Loaves and Fi4xs ?"
It is not yet forgotten, that two men of the
Adams family held offices, the ahnual income
of which was not less than 26,000 dollars, be
sides a very liberal outfit to one of them ; and
a number of "family borfes, and other et cette
