A very valuable MERCHANT MILL,
A DISTILLERY and BREWERY, and fundry STONE QUARRIES to be let.
I will rent my Merchant Mill at the little Falls of Potomac, for any term not less than seven, nor more than eleven years, from the first day of September next. The mill-house is 42 by 40 feet, three stories high, built with stone, and has in it three pairs of French Burr Stones, two overshoot 18 feet water-wheels, and Evans's machinery complete, with every other thing proper and necessary for carrying on the business with dispatch, and at as little expence as possible, in all good order.—From the mill to my landing on the Potomac river, (where craft, of any burthen may deliver grain and take in flour) it is about 40 yards, and from thence by water to George-Town and the City of Washington, about 3 miles, and to Alexandria about 11 miles. This situation, aided by a sufficient capital, will command the produce of a very extensive back country, where large quantities of wheat and other grain is annually made, the distance to it being from 8 to 10 miles less than to any market town upon the navigation of the Potomac. There are on the premises a large stone Coopers' shop, a stone granary, and a commodious miller's house. At the landing aforesaid a bridge is now building over the Potomac, which is in great forwardness and probably will be finished the ensuing fall. There are also on the premises, a Brewery and Distillery, built with stone, in them are three stills, two coppers or boilers, with every necessary article, all new, and in good order, and sufficiently large to carry on the Brewery and Distillery upon a very extensive plan. This property I will rent for the same term of years. Upon my lands adjoining the premises, and along the banks of the river, where craft may lead with ease and dispatch, is an immense quantity of building and foundation-stones. Four quarries are now open, and as many more may be opened with ease: the stone taken from these quarries is better, and has the preference at this market, to any other stone brought to it. I will rent these quarries separately or together as may best suit. On the top of the hill, and about 200 yards from the mill, is a stone Dwelling-house, large enough for the accommodation of a family: also, a kitchen, dairy, smoke-house, &c. and a garden, enclosed and in cultivation, the lot of which is equal in goodness to any in this state. I will also rent this property. Adjoining to the Brewery and Distillery is a Smith's shop, in which is a complete set of Blacksmith's tools, which I will also rent, and if agreeable I will hire to the tenant two negro blacksmiths, one of them is a complete workman. If I rent out the stone quarries, I will sell three crafts, which were built for the purpose of carrying stone: they will altogether bring upwards of 90 perch. Immediate possession will be given. For terms apply to the subscriber in this town. The Mill, Brewery and Distillery, with their appurtenances, will be delivered to the tenant or tenants in good repair, and must be so returned, at the expiration of the lease or leases.

CONTINUATION OF Foreign Intelligence.
FRANCE.
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
21 PRAIRIAL, JUNE 9.
The death of Lefage of the Eure and Loire was announced. This melancholy intelligence was received with much regret.
Tallien declared, that for a month there had been mouchards (spies) attached to the deputies, and that they penetrated into the most private parties of the deputies.
We must not be surprised at this, since at the head of the police is a Baron de Baiz, and by the side of that man, one Desfouille the agent of Aymar, who, under the reign of Terror, proscribed the Patriots.
Tallien was here interrupted by the most violent agitation in the Council. A crowd of members expressed by loud cries and gestures, the indignation on which they felt at Tallien, and at his accusations against the government, at a time when much fermentation exists.
fermentation exists. Henri, Laroche, Doucet, Cadroy, Peaucier and Thibaudeau, rush to the tribune and desire to be heard. Several other members surround Tallien, reproach him with his past conduct, and his eternal contradictions: his successive attachments to all parties, and his rallying point, which he is endeavoring now to present to those whose leaders are under the hand of the law.
Tallien all this time remained tranquil in the tribune, in the midst of almost universal disapprobation and general tumult. At length silence was established by the President.
Tallien in continuation—"I have declared my opinion; I move myself that men who with to destroy the constitution be prosecuted. For the rest, every man has a right to state what he thinks of the events that are passing. If my advice does not please, I shall be refuted; with respect to myself, I shall speak what I think in this tribune with the same courage that I have evinced in circumstances not less perilous for the public weal.
It is at this moment in which an attack is meditated against the National Representation, and particularly against the persons of those who have had the courage to brave the storms of the Revolution, of those who spoke when others held their tongues; of those men whose undisturbed courage has braved and surmounted the united forces of Aristocracy, Royalism and Fanaticism; it is in this moment that opinions ought to be disclosed without being exposed to the charge of being a conspirator, as was done by those who surrounded me just now.
He concluded in the following manner: "I support the motion of Dumolard, because I am convinced that if the threads of the attack, committed upon the persons of our Colleagues, be traced out, we shall discover a more dangerous conspiracy than that from which we have just escaped."
(Tallien, says the Eclair, seemed, as he delivered the foregoing speech, to be no longer the elegant husband of the handsome Cabarrus. He came to the Council on foot, contrary to his usual custom; his dress was negligent, his hair un powdered, his air disturbed, his visage pale; every thing about him concentrated the attention of the Council.)
Some voices called out for the printing of Tallien's speech. (Violent murmurs.)
Thibaudeau—"It belongs not to us to pronounce upon the intentions of the central Bureau—whether it was guilty of simple contempt, or whether its conduct was the consequence of intrigue, imports us little to know at this moment. It belongs to the Tribunal to examine and decide. I therefore support Dumolard's motion."
"But the dignity of the Council requires that we should not leave unanswered those truly revolutionary declarations, which, I know not for what, have found a place in a subject of this nature. The time is past in which an audacious falsehood repressed a timid truth."
"What does Tallien pretend to by those abundant reproaches and fables which he has presented to you? He speaks of a reaction, when the good citizens have scarcely lost sight of those daggers with which the Brigands threatened them; when the plots of the accomplices of Robespierre and Babeuf, every day destroyed, are every day renewed; when they are making every effort to save their Chiefs, who have been arrested in their Committees of Revolt, and with all their papers that attest their dreadful plot, and its immense ramifications."
"Yes, we must reveal it to all France; there has been a re-action, it has been long and terrible; it still lasts, it menaces us with new slavery. It is the work of that execrable faction, which, after having bathed itself in the torrents of the blood of September, is again found wherever a crime remains to be committed; it is the same faction that erected its empire upon the dead bodies in the prisons; it is to retain that empire, that from that period it has never ceased to precipitate all the movements of the revolution; to have recourse one while to intrigue, another while to massacre; to flatter or oppress the people, to caress or successively to assassinate the different parties, ever indifferent to the instruments it makes use of, and the means which it employs, provided that it preserves its power; it is that faction which, on the 31st of May, served to decimate the Convention. Enslave us, No, No, the faction of September shall never enslave us." (A great number of Members, No, No.)
The motion of Dumolard was adopted.
Rouyer—"I am charged by your commission to acquaint you, that this night the conspirators intended to carry into execution the plots that you had been organized for several days past. They had circulated a report that the two Councils and the Directory were about to quit Paris; and they even mentioned the day of their departure, and the place of their retreat (Fontainebleau); but I am happy to say that measures are taken to unmask their designs. Their place of rallying was in the Vertu; it was from thence they were to disperse into the different sections. The signal was, 'To arms! To arms! Let us stop the rogues' (meaning the Directory and the Legislative Body.)"
Their place of rallying is now in the Faubourg St. Antoine. There they expect the sections of Gravilliers, Finiterre, and others, who are to force other citizens to march with them.
The Committee assures you of the wisdom of the Directory, and the good disposition of the troops, who will soon restore tranquility."
Ah! ah! exclaimed several members.

IMAGINATION.
If the following article should appear in a French newspaper, and should chance to escape the contempt of the European public, it would be difficult to excise it from the ridicule of the world:
"PARIS, August 30. "Yesterday arrived at Havre the ship Columbia, Capt. Cornplanter, from Philadelphia. In her came passenger Citizen Paschal; from whom we are very happy to learn that the United States are by no means offended at our having made treaties with the despots of Prussia, Spain and Sardinia; and that our fears of their interference in our projected treaty of amity and commerce with Algiers is unfounded; for Citizen Paschal assures us, that the American government do not consider the French republic as a colony of the United States." [Col. Centinel.]
COMMUNICATIONS.
WHEN the tyrants of France, with Robespierre at their head, were exercising their revolutionary vengeance on the people of that country, the friends of Liberty and Humanity, not only in Europe but in America, united in execrating the monsters who perpetrated those cruelties; and at the same time disapproved of that Constitution under which such sanguinary scenes could be sanctioned. At that time there were not wanting those in this country who justified under the plea of "imperial necessity," those infernal transactions, and shouted to the skies what the real patriots of France term the sanguinary code, the Constitution of '93. Since the overthrow of the Jacobin faction, the proceedings of the French government have been passed over almost without a single compliment on the part of their former eulogists; nay, so far from this, the fall of Robespierre has been more than indirectly lamented, and the present Constitution has been damned by the "first prairie" of our "exclusive patriots."
The late nefarious conspiracy against the French Constitution, is represented as a business of very considerable importance, and the principal persons concerned in it (though members of the late Convention, elected by the people) are reviled as men of no influence or abilities.
How far this representation agrees with the accounts published by the government of France, it is unnecessary to say. Had the conspirators succeeded, it is fairly to be presumed that they would have had a different character; our "exclusive patriots" would have dubbed them the saviors of their country.
The present Constitution of France is to the Jacobins of this country, what the Constitution of the United States is to our's—their aversion.
The Executive Directory of France have termed the late conspiracy "a terrible plot." The "exclusive patriots" of the United States deny this.
HE WAS.
I don't care a cent what he was—I wish to know what he is. People like the Americans, who used to despise ancestry, ought not to use the past tense concerning character. What signifies it, if Miss — was married to common sense ten years ago, I know that now the poor girl is a widow. [Farmer's Weekly Museum.]
The drought in some parts of the Eastern states is so severe, that the pasturage is totally destroyed; and farmers are feeding their cattle on hay. The first crops were abundant, but the maize will be cut short by the drought. [New York Paper.]

The Group; Or, An ELEGANT REPRESENTATION ILLUSTRATED. Embellished with a beautiful head of S. VERGES, C. S.
THE publisher thinks it a mark of respect, due to a liberal and enlightened public, to inform them that this is the Poem for the publishing of which he has been twice dragged from his house, and is now laboring under a vexatious prosecution. He is conscious that the piece contains nothing either criminal or offensive, unless original wit, decorated in elegant language, be criminal or disgusting to the prevalent taste; and, as he trusts that neither of these is the case, he submits the work to the public with a full assurance of its meeting with a favorable reception.
He would beg his prosecutors to call to mind (if they have ever read it) the following apology to a well-known romance—"A young painter, indulging a vein of pleasantery, sketched a kind of Conversation Piece, respecting a bear, an owl, a monkey, and an ass; and to render it more striking, humorous, and moral, distinguished every figure by some emblem of human life. Brain was exhibited in the garb and attitude of an old, toothless, drunken soldier; the owl perched upon the handle of a coffee-pot, with spectacles on his nose, seemed to contemplate a newspaper; and the ass ornamented with a huge eye-wing (which, however, could not conceal his long ears) sat for his picture to the monkey, who appeared with the implements of painting. This whimsical group afforded some mirth, and met with general approbation, until some mischievous wag hinted the whole was a lampoon upon an old officer, a physician, and a member of Parliament; an insinuation which was no sooner circulated, than these people began to be alarmed, and even to fancy themselves signified by the several figures in the piece. The furious group fell upon the painter, who declared that he had no design to give offence, or to characterize particular persons. They affirmed, the resemblance was too palpable to be overlooked, and their clamours being overheard by the public, the Captain was a bear, the Doctor an ass, and the Senator an owl, to their dying day."—If a similar fate should attend the persons who will insist upon being the members of this group, the public will do the publisher the justice to remember that it is no fault of his.

WEST-INDIA INTELLIGENCE,
Received by the brig Abigail, Capt. Elliott, arrived here from St. Vincent's.
ST. VINCENT'S July 16.
On Monday last orders arrived here from the Commander in Chief at Martinique, for the immediate removal of the Caribs from this Island.
In consequence of the orders above stated, the Carib chiefs were immediately required by Major General Hunter to attend him, and several were accordingly escorted into town yesterday by a party of troops; when they were informed of the Island of Barbados being appropriated for their temporary residence, in which situation they would be supplied with sufficient provisions and water for their subsistence, and in their ultimate removal, be furnished with every article that could either be necessary or useful for their existence. They were also forcibly given to understand by the General, that if they did not surrender by Tuesday morning, hostilities would then instantly commence against them.

PROCLAMATION.
By His Excellency JAMES SETON, Esq. Captain General and Governor in Chief, in and over his Majesty's Islands of St. Vincent, Bequia, and such other the Islands commonly called the Grenadines, as lie to the Northward of Carriacou, Chancellor, Ordinary, and Vice Admiral of the same, &c. &c.
WHEREAS there still exists a great demand for many articles of the growth produce, and manufacture of the United States of America, and of the Southern Continent, and of the Islands in the West-Indies under the dominion of foreign powers in amity with Great Britain (of which there is no prospect of receiving supplies in British bottoms) I have therefore thought it fit and expedient, by and with the advice and consent of his Majesty's council, to issue this my Proclamation, hereby permitting and allowing for the use of the inhabitants, the free importation into this island, in any vessels whatever belonging to the subjects of any power or state in amity with his majesty; pitch, tar, turpentine, masts, yards, bowsprits, staves, heading, boards, timber, shingles, and lumber of any sort; live stock of all kinds, bread, biscuit, flour, peas, beans, potatoes, wheat, rice, oats, barley, and grain of any sort, such commodities respectively being the growth and production of any of the territories of the United States of America, or of the southern continent and islands in the West-Indies as aforesaid, for the space of six months from the date hereof.
And it is further permitted that sugar, molasses, rum, coffee, and cocoa, be bartered for any of the aforesaid commodities, and exported in such vessels within the time limited.
Given under my hand and seal at arms, at Kingstown, this 19th day of July, 1796, and the 36th of his Majesty's reign.

KINGSTOWN, July 23.
On Saturday and Sunday last a considerable number of Caribs, exceeding 600, came from their camp in the heights, and took position between our posts and the sea, at about half a mile distance. The chiefs and heads of families were dispatched to inform us, that in consequence of their being daily harassed by parties of the Rangers and other troops, they wished to place themselves under our protection, until they could comply with the orders of the commander in chief, which they all repeatedly promised to do. On Monday, the son of Chatoye, in the presence of Lieut. Col. Haffey and several other officers, addressed himself to the attendant Caribs to the following effect. "It is no disgrace to us Caribs to surrender to a great nation. The subjects of France and all great nations, even of England, are obliged to submit to each other, when there no longer remains the means of resistance. What else is now left for us? Have we power to continue the war? No, we have not the power. To-morrow morning I will set you the example of submission, by bringing my family to Col. Haffey, that he may send us immediately to the General. You may do as you please, I can only be accountable for family and myself."
Young Chatoye's observations seemingly had the effect he pretended to desire, and the Caribs universally promised with the devoutest asseverations, to accompany him. But being too well acquainted with their perfidy, not to entertain strong doubts of their compliance with these promises, Col. Haffey on Tuesday morning, at 3 o'clock, ordered his corps under arms, and sent Captain Lauder with two companies to line the deep ravine to the northward of them; Capt. Munro, with two other companies, to line the ridge to the southward; and the Col. himself, with a company of Louvenstein's (which was attached to his corps) posted himself to the westward of them; the sea being to the eastward. Captain Lauder, when he had made the necessary arrangements, proceeded alone, to prevent alarm and to persuade the Caribs to resort immediately to Col. Haffey, but he found their number very much reduced, for upwards of 300 had fled to their retreat in the woods, and among the number was the orator Chatoye himself, and all of those who had been the most liberal in their promises of submission. Capt. Munro in closing in with the enemy's camp, took 102 of them who were retreating towards Colonarie, who, with others that were that day made prisoners, amounted to 280. These were the people who were on Wednesday conducted to Calliaqua, and afterwards transported to Barbados. But instead of being voluntary captives, it appears that they owe their present situation more to the judicious precautions that were taken against them than to any regard for their treaties or promises of surrender.
The accomplishment of the promised surrender of the Grand Sable Caribs, was left to Lieut. La-
borde of Major French's Rangers, who proceeded to Du Valle's and Dufour's, with a party to escort them and the people of that district to Mount Young, agreeable to their promise on the preceding evening; but he found their houses abandoned, and about 200 of them armed on a hill, from whence their chiefs called to him and assured him, that they would never surrender, for they knew the English intended to deceive them. As our party consisted only of 30 men, they very prudently returned to their post.
On Tuesday noon also, Lieut. Mackenzie fell in with a few other Caribs, one of whom he killed, another was taken, and three others escaped. The Rangers had then destroyed about 1000 of their huts.
The accounts we have since Tuesday, are very vague and contradictory. It appears, however, that on Wednesday morning the greater part of the army marched in different directions in search of the enemy. Lieut. Col. Graham's division, which took the route of Colonarie river, after having traversed it a great way up, fell in with a party of the enemy on Thursday, who had taken a position at a strong pass or fall, which they had fortified. They invited him to advance, which the Col. in the fullest confidence of their sincerity and good disposition did, followed by his party, holding a white handkerchief in his hand; but when he had got within a few yards of the enemy, he was saluted with a heavy and well directed fire, which killed an officer of Santeur's corps, wounded the Colonel, and many others. Our party, after this accident, returned.
Lieut. Col. Haffey's Rangers fell in with a camp of the enemy's about 4 miles from the sea above Rabaca, which they carried with some loss. Lieut. Mackenzie is said on this occasion to be mortally wounded. The loss of the enemy could not be ascertained.
The perfidious and artful conduct of young Chatoye, will perhaps very easily call up the remembrance (at least of every inhabitant of this colony) of the familiar mode of deceitful elocution, exercised by his countrymen at the commencement of their rebellion: when they so strongly testified their surprise at our suspicion of their fidelity, and assured us, in the most solemn manner, that their gratitude for our forgiveness and kindness, rendered it impossible for them to adopt views at once so inconsistent with their own interests and our tranquility, and immediately afterwards sealed their faith, by murder, plunder, and devastation. It is to be hoped, that the present instances of their insincerity and perfidy, will impress those more deeply with their former atrocities, who had not the unhappiness to be witnesses of them. That they should again attempt to use the same modes of deception is not surprising, when we know they have so often adopted them with success. Now, if it should be found necessary to lift the sword of the destroyer, it is happy for us that we are so well justified in the eyes of the world, by having done every thing that could possibly be done to avoid it; and though we have been led to complain of this lenity to our enemies, we esteem it a happy circumstance, since the order of their expulsion has come at last from the man, so much distinguished for his tenderness and humanity.
GRENADA, July 2.
On Monday a court of oyer and terminer, and general jail delivery, was held at the Court-house here.
The list of jurors being called over, and the grand jury sworn in, the chief justice addressed the grand jury in a pathetic speech of considerable length, describing the distresses and misfortunes that have befallen this colony since the commencement of the insurrection, a copy of which, we are sorry to say, we have not in our power to gratify our readers with; after which the prisoners described in the act of attainder passed by the Legislature of this island last year, and who were confined in jail, were brought to the bar, in different divisions, in number forty-nine, where they were asked by the Bench what reason they had to plead why sentence of execution should not be passed; at the same time they were informed, that if they chose they should have Counsel assigned them, and all of them requesting Counsel, the Bench accordingly appointed the Hon. Thomas Turner Wise, who craving forty-eight hours to prepare for entering on their defence, the Court allowed him until Thursday morning at nine o'clock for that purpose.
The Court being again met on Thursday morning, his Majesty's Solicitor General opened the trial with great ability on the part of the Crown. Mr. Wise proceeded on the defence of the prisoners, in a speech which did equal justice to them and the laws of the country; but their persons being identified by the witnesses who were called to the satisfaction of the Court and the petty Jury; the Chief Justice then addressed them in a most feeling and pathetic manner, recommending them, to endeavour to make their peace with God, in whose presence they must very soon appear; he then pronounced the sentence usual in cases of high treason, upon the prisoners, after which the Court adjourned until this morning.
Early yesterday morning a strong guard of his Majesty's troops, part of the St. George's militia, and the constables, attended at the jail, and a little before nine o'clock conducted seven of those miserable wretches from thence to the place of execution on the parade, where they were launched into eternity without the smallest signs of repentance; and after hanging until they were dead, they were taken down and their heads cut off, his Honor the Lieutenant-Governor having been pleased to remit the remainder of the sentence. The constables, with a guard of soldiers, went back to jail, and soon after returned with eight more, who were all tied up and the mallet lifted to knock off the drop-board, when Mr. Oliver, one of the number, addressed the surrounding spectators, in a speech, the substance of which we forbear mentioning, as no doubt it will be the subject of public investigation, but in consequence of which an application was immediately made to the Governor for a respite for Oliver, which was granted for the space of forty-eight hours, he was then taken down and conducted back to jail, and the rest were im-
mediately executed. This respite has been enlarged not only to him, but to all those condemned to suffer death, until Saturday the 9th inst.
The Court met at nine o'clock this morning, and there being little business before it, the juries were discharged at noon, but the bench continued sitting until half past one, and adjourned to Tuesday the 12th.
The names of those hung are as follows— De Suze, Pascal Mandel, Pierre Po, Laurency, Olingre, Battarel, Charpentier, Clozier d'Arcueil, Drenaux, Centimel (a mulatto) and Hippolite (a negro) Marausse, Boudon, and Barbaroux.
The following thirteen whites and two mulattoes were executed on the 9th July—
Louis Francois Bonnem, Guillaume, Boncaud, St. Marie Clozier, Louis Delisle, Gerbert Dumont, L. M. Ladouceau, Bernard Labastide, Pierre Lestat, Joseph Ralph, Marc Sibilet, Pierre Villard, Alexandre Delabaille, Jean Forteau. Edmund Rapier, Charles Forgerie, mulattoes.

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
In SENATE, June 1st, 1796.
On motion by Mr. Martin, that it be "Resolved," That the hon. William Blount and William Cocke, esquires, who have produced credentials of being duly elected Senators for the state of Tennessee, be admitted to take the oath necessary for their qualification, and their seats accordingly.
It was determined in the negative. Yeas 10, Nays 11.
The yeas and nays being required by one fifth of the Senators present.
Those who voted in the affirmative, are Mr. Bloodworth, Mr. Brown, Mr. Burr, Mr. Butler, Mr. Gunn, Mr. Langdon, Mr. Martin, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Tattall, and Mr. Tazewell.
Those who voted in the negative, are Mr. Bing-ham, Mr. Bradford, Mr. Foster, Mr. Latimer, Mr. Livermore, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Potts, Mr. Read, Mr. Ross, Mr. Rutherford, and Mr. Turnbull, so the motion was lost.
The reason given by the Members who debated in the negative, was, that the credentials of William Blount and William Cocke, bore date prior to the act of Congress, which admitted Tennessee, a Member of the Union.
At a General Assembly held for the state of Tennessee, since the above resolution was passed; William Blount and William Cocke have again been elected, to represent that state, in the Senate of the United States.

On board the ship Harmony, Aug. 8, 1796.
Dear Sir,
I am sorry to inform you, that on the 6th of this instant, I was brought to and boarded by the British ship La Raison, Capt. Beresford, and after a detention of six hours, they put an officer and crew on board and ordered me for Halifax. They first examined my papers, and broke open all the letters. On my arrival at Halifax I shall conduct myself in every respect for your interest, as I am sensible they have no plea against either ship or cargo, it being all American property, as I can prove, I shall enter a regular protest against their proceedings.
I am, &c.
ROBERT SMITH.
The Harmony was laden entirely with coffee, and bound to Amsterdam.
Capt. Charnock, in the brig Lavinia, 12 days from St. Christopher's informs, that a large fleet sailed from that island with a very strong convoy, on the 27th ult. bound for England; they were joined by a number of merchantmen at Tortola, and proceeded for Europe on the 1st inst. At St. Christopher's Capt. Charnock saw L'Aimable British frigate of 32 guns, that had been engaged with La Penée a French frigate of 44 guns out of Guadalupe; they fought four gages, when the British frigate attempting to board, which the French frigate avoided by sheering off a short distance, the action ended, both the ships being severely shattered. La Penée went into St. Thomas.
Another frigate is cruising out of Guadalupe. The ship Hope of this port is arrived at St. Thomas. On her passage from France, with a cargo of wine and brandy, she was chased by the tender of the Bull Dog British sloop of war, off Tortola; as the Hope continued her course, the tender towed under her quarter, and began a firing of swivels and muskets to compel her to shorten sail; the Hope being armed with two four pounders, which she has carried for several voyages, the captain spoke the cutter, and desired them to desist from firing at an American vessel, and warned them to keep off, which being disregarded, he found it necessary to act on the defensive, and pointing his cannon over the stern, he made so liberal a use of his ammunition, that the tender's crew struck the British colors and called for quarters; whereupon the Hope's crew gave three cheers, and told them they might depart. At this time the sloop of war got under way from Tortola and pursued the American ship, but the very fortunately made her escape into St. Thomas.
