French Privekerm—The capture of the
French privateers, the Duc de Montebello,
she lntrepide, and the vessel bearing the
papers of the pirogue called la Petit Chance
has disclosed a system of iniquity which
has iteretol'ore been unpatalleled in this
ccuntry. There appears to be a regularly
connected chain of villainy, which the
breaking osthis link gives na hopes will be
entirely-'destroyed. We suspect many per
sons beiitg engaged who now share our hos
pituiity, and all the rights of American ci
tchns—tve hope, however, for the honor
of the American name, that none of our
country-men are engaged. The Duc dess
Montsibelln was "fitted out at Baltimoress
purchased by a capt. \Vhite,l' cleared ont *
with French passengers for St. Bartholok
men's, was called the Amiable, p'utinto
Sarcnnah (Georgia) armed,]shipped part
of her crew, sailed, and received the rest
from on board a vessel commanded by cap
tnin Kunn. ctShe assumed oﬀ the bar'os

she now wears; Iailed on I eruize, robs,

distress ; her captains name is Reason-; her,

Menton and a certain ]ohn de Loupe make
conspicuous figures on board of her.
?
The lntrepide was'built'here,—sailed from
this you about two mouths since on her first
voyage to St. Bartholome's with French
passcngers, commanded by a capt. Rogers,
where it is said she was sold by him to Sou
vinet, one of the passengers, and sailed
with the rest of the passengers under the
command of Brottghmen to St. Martinsa
where she obtained a "French commission,
proceeded on a zcruize, and after taking
from on board ?. Spanish vessel GOOO dol
1ars, put in here under pretence of distress.
On board t'ne Duc de Montebello is found
a commission for a vessel to be called
" "s he French soldier," to be commanded
by Broughman, who now commands the
Intrepide.
