Ask of the masters of the vessels who

will give it "to you as their decided—opinion,
'that had there have been any ,intescrence on
the pit'rt of our government, much more is
an accrcdited agent had been sent, the pro
perty would have been restored- Theyss
were even insultingly told by the si es,
that " their government had deserted t tem;
and consequently they would consider them
in 'no other light than as British subjects and <
their property British." sfthts is not thro5 ;

ﬂuence ? it seems as ifnone but lunaticks !
could be guilty of such ttcglect,-except thro' '
the inﬂuence so muctch talked of, and which ;
the government pretend to ressscnt—the old i
Americau cap'tains being saVed though the
interference of British commandersis. How
mortifying to the feelings of every genuine .
American !ct that theitsi coun'trjrnsizen are treat- _
ed with contempt even by the' poor negkoesj
and thaTt-they can find no protection abroad :
exceptctfrom those' whom the government
are determined to consider as enemies.—
It is high time for the people to " correct
cial loving goirernment? Alas! there is
too much reason for supposing this to be
the case. Out- country men are treated like1
dogs, and hanged, or money extorted from
them on the most trivial pretences; while
the British cause' their subjects to be re

counts we daily receive and of which there'
is no pretence of coutradiction, it appears
that no Ameticau vessel could, by any pos
sibility, nat'igate the Baltic, except for the
protection generously aﬀorded them by the
Britis/z ships of war-si-and under their pro
teetion many are likely to go and _come in
safety. How generous ! how magnani
mous! is the conduct'of our government
towards the British for this kind treatment
shewn our friends and fellow citziens on
"the ocenn ! Not merely content with
shewing a hostiltty towards them, strongly
indicative ofadispositiun to provoke that
nation to & war with us : aman is kept at
the court of Russia; (Mr; Adnms) whom
we are informed is very industrious in bu
siness to Operate to the injury of the Bri
tish commerce inthat country ; and if he
does not succeed it will not be owing to
want ost-ztertion on his part, or inclination
on the part of the government; and the
object itself can be of no possible benestt to
the country. The protection thus gette
rously given by British ships, is refused by
our own": not a krigsitte has been sent althu'
itsicouid so easily have been done. Twice
has OUt' government been memoraiized by
our citizens captured by Dunish privateers (

You will recollect that I never Saw siyour

500 men were descending the river to clear !
;. the ground, you having completely decided ss
to encamp there. ss
' On that day I accompanied you in a
barge to Terre actu B'aeuf, and in passing o
ver a piece of firm dry ground handsome
le shaded by live oalts scattered over it, the
? same on which the light a'rtillery afterwards
5cncamped, as I have understood, on your
praising the Situation, I said that that 'was
" as handsome a piece ofland for encamp

hastily c-Xpressed, of the smaﬂ piece (is
ground spoken of, it may be mentioned,
that the troops who occupied it were the
last taken suck. This I presume is as much
as could be hoped from any ground in the
isle of Orleans.
On arriving at the house where you es
tablished your head quarters, l perceived
- from the willow gromh that the swamp
was near. 'lhen l ventured to propose to
you to cncamp, not where you did, but in
an old field used as & pnstme for the horses
osthe light artillery You said the heat of ss
the sun there would be intolerabk. !
So far, Sir, was I from approving the !
