and brought her back. When Rogers
was tiiken at Providence, a sum of mo
ney a:.d part of the cloatiiing Mr. Swan
was plundered of, was found in his
trunk—he confefled, that he was the
person who hailed the boat, that he was
employed to pilot the boat in the expe

behind the islands, for tlie schooner., and
that immediately after MefTrs. Swan &

gave,him the cadi (32 dollars] and the
eluat'Wg to Mr. Swan found
uponhiip, called him a good republican,
and requeued him to be secret and, not
to betray him.
After the evidence was heard, thtf
attorney of the United States moved*
that Rogers he held to bail to appear at
the next Circuit Court, for trial. Mr.
Morton appeared asCounfel for Rogers,
and objected to bail being required, as
the laws of the United- States defining
the Crimes against the laws of nations,
mentioned those only of receiving com
miiflioiis from foreign powers, Entering,
hiring, or enlilting, iir'any armed vci
fel, &c. as a soldier, nlarine, or sea
man ; and that, as the capacity in which
Rogers had acted was that of A pilot,
lie did not come within the purview of
the law.

Mr. M. remarked,' that the last summer,
all this bulmefs was in the clouds. That

The attorney for the United States,

duced iuto the debate; but having been
introduced, he could not refrain from
flaring the law, as it was understood
the lall ftimmer, and the caies referred
to. He then declared that m'oft of the

he was unwilling, as the French nation
had done jnftice to his eomplaint against

her, drowned. We underhand that one
of ihtfn was a Mr. Belcher, of Point

belonging there.
The attorney for the UnitSd States,
appealed to the counsel for the defend

counsel for JuTau, for the truth of
what he had dated—to which appeal,
no reply was made. He then exprelfed
his .farrow, that a mere aft of grace by
the Prefidentj Ihould be cenilrued, as it
had been, into a sense of weakness on
the part of government —and that ill
