FOREIGNER.
FROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER.
It is almost time that something rational should be offered to the publick, and some just ideas appropriated to that term FOREIGNER. A word which has met with less quarter in America, where the society is wholly composed of foreigners, than in any other part of the world that I know of. From the first impressions made upon me, to this moment, I have had but one opinion upon the subject; and that opinion is plainly this, that when the word is used as if it were a disqualification from exercising the ordinary rights of human creatures, in every society, it is not only highly illiberal, but grossly absurd? and is in fact unknown in civilized countries, but among the very lowest and most ignorant of the vulgar. When I speak of rights, I do not allude to any participation in those high practical national rights which belong to those who from birth, property, connexions, or by services rendered to the state by those connexions, have a natural root inhering in the soil, and therefore possess those rights; but I mean the right to exercise within the limits prescribed by the laws, the powers of thought and action, where that exercise can have no effect by coercion, as in the business of legislation, and can only operate by persuasion and reasoning upon the general stock of mind and opinion. With this impression, I have always considered the federalists and the federal prints as acting right when they objected to the admission of foreigners, at once, to the elective franchise, but extremely wrong and illiberal when they carried their objection from that point down to exclusion and personal slight of the men merely as foreigners. To shackled human opinion, or to dam up the streams that may feed it, is the most heightened essence of tyranny. Freedom of thought must precede freedom of action and civil freedom. And a nation can no more be free if the means of free thought are intercepted, than are they FREE Americans who are now in the dungeons of Tripoli. If argument, reasoning, or persuasion, were matters of coercion which could not be resisted, it would be natural enough, and indeed wise, to forbid foreigners the use of them—but as they are things which every mind has it in its power to reject or to adopt, it is in the highest degree despotick to forbid a man, merely because he is a foreigner, from reasoning, and is in fact, robbing the publick mind of that which belongs to it, to wit, the right of considering all such reasonings, and making such use of them as the intellect shall allow them, let them come from whom they will. The right of reasoning is not a national property; it inheres in the individual, and it cannot be pinned down, like the practical civil rights of men, by the laws of this or that community. Constitutions and governments, let them belong to what country they may, are essences which afford subjects open for observation to all people, and the conduct of the officers and magistrates who execute it, is as much a topic of discussion to those who never saw the country, as to those who are born in it. In this very country for instance, they not only possess, but do frequently exercise the right to descend upon the ministerial impropriety of, or the royal imbecility, of England, so far as to make them the subjects of a speech at an election. Away then with the mean cant of foreigner on both sides—whoever uses it, except within the limitations above, utters illiberal folly, and means worse than illiberality.
It must appear to any man of common sense, that the opinions or reasonings of an individual, must rest upon themselves alone; they cannot derive any value from that individual's being born in any one country; nor lose it by his being born in any other. If they be unjust, it is to suppose the people worse than credulous—it is to suppose them downright ideots to say they can be swayed by them. If they are just and cogent, ought they not to have the weight that belongs to them, without reference to the person who utters them? I would ask, was the Constitution of Carolina the worse for being drawn by Mr. LOCKE, who was an Englishman? Or would the mitigation of the criminal code of England be the worse, (if it were effected), because its advocates, at the head of whom is the king, take their project from the illumined mind and humane heart of the Marquis BECCARIA, an Ital an.
I do not deny that opinions very often derive, and sometimes ought to derive, much weight from the authority of the person who utters them; but they sometimes derive too much, and so far as they do, the judgment of the people is mischievously warped. If therefore any thing were justly to be feared from the propagation of false opinions, it is only where the judgment is wronged by partial, personal prejudices: therefore it is reasonable to assert, that every man who really desires the investigation and establishment of solid principles and truth, must wish opinions and reasonings to go abroad without those clogs; and of course must be less jealous of those of foreigners than any others, since they can acquire no force from personal influence, and are of no further value in the scale than
what they possess from their own intrinsick weight.
But here comes in a train of injustice to which it would afflict a good heart to give a name, and of which both parties stand on the prints of this country too much impeached. Each forgets the foreigner, and adopts the opinion if it be favourable to its views. And on the other hand, each rejects the opinion if it be adverse; and taking advantage of the worst feelings, and enlisting the very basest passions of the multitude, daubs it with the low-minded crime of foreigner, in order to render it unpopular. If an Englishman goes to Paris in time of peace, and attempts to exercise any calling, he is treated without the least personal reference to his country, unless it be that he receives greater politeness on that account. They value him by his work, be it what it may; they do not debase themselves by undervaluing or crying it down because it is that of an Englishman. In like manner London is full of French artificers, writers, critics, and philosophers. And if we examine the reviews and publick prints, we shall find that not a single objection is made to their works on the score of their being the works of foreigners. BARTOLOZZI's engravings lose nothing of their intrinsick value in publick opinion for their being known to be the works of an Italian. HERSHEY has a splendid royal and legislative provision made for him; and the British astronomers, if any of them now and then differ from him, never attempt to set up against his reasonings the fact of his being a foreigner. Nay, Mr. West, the celebrated painter, amidst all the jealousy of his contemporaries, has never been attacked, or his paintings misprised on account of his being an American, except indeed by that great favourite of some Americans, Peter Pindar, who speaking of Mr. West and his country, has labelled both in a couplet infinitely witty, but infamously calumnious.
It is therefore not only illiberal, unjust, and irrational, but unprecedented, to hold such language about foreigners; and it is particularly so in Americans; Americans who are themselves, stock, lock, and barrel, foreigners intruding upon the aboriginal inhabitants, and taking from them their territorial property, and the sweet calm delights of living by hunting. But can it be denied that he that comes to an immense wild of uncultivated earth like this continent, brings to it at least as much benefit as he can receive from it. When he brings himself, his strength, his talents, (let them be in what line they will) he brings it what it wants—what it can make use of—what advances its prosperity, and what adds to the mass of its worth. We cannot suppose any one stupid enough to mean that the foreigner is greatly obliged by being allowed the clod of earth on which his body rests. And what does he owe to society?—Why no more than a native—It is a market to which he brings his goods of some sort or other, and where if he brings nothing, nothing will be received in return. To hear those little gentry talk, one would suppose that strangers when they came, here were kissed and dandled, and the spoon of pap with sugar in it, put gratis into their mouths, and that the natives of every other country were inferior beings, to whom it was an honour to touch the sand, to breathe the air, or to drink the streams of these states, which the great God of Heaven, in his All-Supplying Beneficence, has given alike for the man, the beast, and the bird—for the quadruped, and for the biped, whether with or without feathers.
This weak and often wicked cant about foreigners is never used but as a channel through which to discharge the venom of national or personal jealousy, or as an instrument to blind the people and prevent them from listening to that which may open their eyes. But let us examine how the account stands on that score, and see what right the gentlemen of these states, the opposite party in particular, have to complain, or speak lightly, of foreigners.
Is not the press of that party in Philadelphia in the hands of a foreigner, and does he not receive immense perquisites? is the attempt to overthrow the constitution of Pennsylvania and to put down the governor, held by the party the worse for being done by a foreigner?
Is the management of the anti-federal press in New-York thought the worse by being in the hands of Mr. Cheetham, a foreigner?
Did Mr. Jefferson think the writings of Mr. Callender the less worthy of his patronage of his patronage and reward for coming from a foreigner?
Is not the anti-federal interest in North-Carolina supported by Mr. Gales, a foreigner?
Are the cabinet councils of Mr. Jefferson the worse for having Mr. Gallatin, a foreigner, in them? I for one think not—I think that if deprived of him they would lose all their spirit and much of their wisdom.
Let it be considered what America owes to foreigners, and then let it be decided what right there is to dash foreigner in the teeth of any man.
Gen. Charles Lee, who left the British service, in which he was a colonel, to share in the dangers and the honours of the revolutionary war, was a foreigner.
Gen. Armstrong, who accompanied Lee
when he was sent to the defence of this state, was an Irishman—a foreigner.
Paul Jones, who made the American flag a terror to Britons in British ports, and in the British Channel, was not a native citizen.
Commodore Barry, a successful and enterprising commander in the American war, not a native citizen, an Irishman.
The gallant Gen. Montgomery, who fell at Quebec, was a foreigner, an Irishman.
The hero of Ticonderoga, (Gates) who captured Burgoyne and his army, was a foreigner, an Englishman.
The gallant Count Pulaski, who was killed at the head of his legion at Savannah, was a foreigner.
The great tactician and disciplinarian, Steuben, to whose exertions was owing that discipline in the American troops which enabled them to rout British veterans, was a foreigner.
The brave De Calb, who laid down his life at the plains of Camden in driving the British forces from this state, was a foreigner.
The enterprising Gen. Stewart, who commanded the Pennsylvania Line, which was always looked to as the forlorn hope in exigencies, and was wholly composed of Irish, was a foreigner, an Irishman.
The able partisan, Gen. Williamson, who in the western part of this state performed wonders at the head of his militia, was a foreigner.
Almost the whole Pennsylvania delegation to Congress are foreigners.
Mr. Dallas is a foreigner.
Gen. Jackson, of Georgia, as I am told, an Englishman—during the war at the head of the militia—since the war, governor—is a foreigner.
In all the states, but those of New-England, it was found expedient to avail themselves of the talents and intelligence of good citizens, not natives.
In this state we know that after having sheathed his sword on the termination of the revolutionary war, the memorable Edanus Burke was sent to the first Congress; was afterwards made one of our judges; and had a seat on Chancery Bench at the time of his death—was he the worse man for being a foreigner?
The Sheriff of Charleston District, Mr. Laval, than whom there is not a better officer, or a more respectable man, is a foreigner.
Major Pierce Butler who has so long and faithfully served this state in Congress, and refused to betray its interests by agreeing to the late change of the constitution, and on that account resigned in disgust—is a foreigner: and what perhaps may make those gentlemen more angry, he is of an old ennobled family.
Finally, O'Brien Smith, one of our present members in Congress, who, as well as his brother, served in the war, in whose very name, every thing that is generous, noble, and beneficent, is included, and whose heart does honour to our nature, is a foreigner, an Irishman.

THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
TO SHEW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIME, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1805.
We have been favoured by Captain Pearson of the schooner Iris of Fredericksburg, who arrived here yesterday from Newport, R. I. with the following particulars.—On the 1st April left the Island of Porto Rico, laden with Sugar, Coffee, and Fustick, bound to Norfolk; on the 8th was boarded by a French privateer (Musquito), in lat. 27, 30, lon. 71, under the command of Mons. Brouard, who said she was a national vessel; he took captain P. with his papers and letters on board the privateer. The letters were opened, and the papers declared to be counterfeited. Mr. Carter the mate and a black man were tied up and flogged until they declared that the vessel was from Cape François—The officers and crew were then plundered of every thing, even to the clothes on their backs. On the 10th the privateer boarded the brig Mount Vernon, captain Samuel Lowe of Rhode-Island, whom they robbed of 295 dollars, and then put on board capt. Pearson, his mate and two boys, together with five prisoners taken in British vessels—Captain Pearson expresses the utmost gratitude to captain Lowe for the friendly treatment he received on board his brig until their arrival.—The above account it will be seen perfectly corresponds with that given in our last.
By the Maryland Mary, and Rising States, packets, from New-York, we have received papers to the 4th instant; which furnish us with the several articles of Foreign Intelligence, contained in this day's Ledger.

FROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER, APRIL 6.
THE INAUGURAL SPEECH.
NO. VIII.
"Och, Terrence asthore! I always told you that you were too fond of putting your hand upon paper!" was the eloquent and pethetic apostrophe uttered by a worthy old Irish school-master to his son, when at the foot of the gallows, whom he had unfortunately taught to write a little too well. And such an apostrophe might the friends of a certain great man utter to him with lamentable truth. He also is too fond of putting his hand-writing upon paper. Every time he writes for the publick, he puts upon paper some new evidence towards the conviction of his rapacity even for the humble office of writing itself, but still more for that of a statesman. The piece now under consideration is such a patch-work quilt, without order or arrangement; such a harlequin's jacket of scraps, of all colours but those which ought to be there, as never before, no, not by himself, was palmed upon the world as a State Paper. If we look to the State Papers of Europe, we shall find them composed with studious brevity—excluding all foreign and irrelevant matter—closely applied to points merely necessary—unostentatious, and acute. We remember but one exception to this rule, and that was a speech from the Throne composed by the minister Lord North, of infamous ministerial memory. Driven to the water's edge, and conscious that if he spoke of the facts which ought most particularly to be adverted to, he must pronounce sentence of condemnation upon his own gross misconduct, he stuffed the King's Speech with an account of the disease then raging among the horned cattle. Thus, in this Inaugural Ballet, which our President has given to amuse the publick, being prodigiously, and with good cause, desirous to abstain from touching upon Tripoli, he first dances back, then crosses over, and then leads up his worthy and beautiful partner the Congress, to the philosophers of the woods, (the Indians) where, after a caper or two to the tune of ca ira , he gives a lecture to the sachems upon the sweets of reform, the delights of novelty, and the horrors of bigotry in a paragraph or two, in the style, the opinions, and the feelings of which, the heart, soul, thoughts, head, and pluck, and all, of the writer, are not merely painted, but identically reflected as in a mirror. In this miserable, motley, harlequinade, we have already observed the scene shift several times, from myself to my Inaugural Speech, in 1801, and then back again to myself , then to Louisiana, then to Religion, but still back to myself — myself forever. This poor dove of peace, let him fly abroad as often as he will, can find no place to perch upon, and returns back incessantly to the dear ark , the only resting place of his soul— myself . In the paragraph now before us, wherever he flies, he finds himself at home; and is indeed, in every place he perches, resting on myself —the ark is still in sight. The scene shifts from the cabinet to the Indian towns on the Missouri—the President changes into the pamphleteer—and then into the lean and slipped pantaloon , in the costume of modern philosophism, tottering under a load of impotent rage, and shaking his harmless cane at the antiphilosophists , as he quaintly calls them, meaning
those steady walkers in the track of good old fashioned common sense, who are contented to eat such bread as God and their own industry has sent them, without wishing, as Sancho Panza says, for any better than that which is made of wheat.
If we were disposed to compliment the President's ingenuity at the expense of his candour, we should say that his device in this paragraph was cunning and artful enough for a Jesuitical Monk, or an Old Bailey Solicitor. It is an effusion more likely to roll from a muddy understanding, than to result from the designs of a clear one. The end of its course however is obviously that towards which all that flow from the same fountain run. The sordidness of the stream cannot conceal the bottom, and we see the pretended philosopher of the new school of France, sneering at those of the old with ridiculous malice.
Example is at least as important as precept to the youth of a country. If we find them disposed to form themselves on what we conceive to be vicious models, it is our duty to put an end to their error, and to expose the deception. The popularity of Mr. Jefferson has naturally made him an object of imitation and admiration to the youth of this country in all things to which he pretends. It is in the weakness of man to turn from the learned physician to the quack; and to give credit for much to those who promise and pretend much. In every thing appertaining to letters, we consider Mr. Jefferson the last man of celebrity, on whom the eye of youth should be permitted to rest. And that his pretensions, particularly in language, are demonstrably empirical. In the paragraph before us, he discloses a weak, loose, and confused mind; taking matter for a sneer at one thing, from a supposed similarity in it to another thing, which is in fact directly the reverse of it.—Who would have thought that any man pretending to the common sense of even a peasant—we might almost say to a step of reason beyond instinct—would compare the obstinacy with which the Indians resist all the efforts made to improve their condition and withdraw them from savage life, to the efforts for some years past made (thank God we can now hope successfully) to prevent the overthrow of that glorious system of order and copious enlightenment which the wisdom of ages had gradually erected, and the fall from it of the human race back again into barbarous vice and ignorance—or knowledge worse than ignorance? When an opinion so obviously, so necessarily resolvable either into folly or corruption, is propounded, what are we to say of it—which side of the alternative shall we take. Here readers!—peruse the paragraph yourselves, and judge of it—
Speaking of the Indians, he says— "But the endeavours to enlighten them on the fate which awaits their present course of life, to induce them to exercise their reason, follow its dictates and change their pursuits with the change of circumstances, have powerful obstacles to encounter. They are combated by the habits of their bodies, prejudices of their minds, ignorance, pride, and the influence of interested and crafty individuals among them, who feel themselves something in the present order of things, and fear to become nothing in any other. These persons inculcate a sanctimonious reverence for the customs of their ancestors, that whatever they did must be done through all time; that reason is a false guide, and to advance under its counsel in their physical, moral, or political condition, is perilous innovation: that their duty is to remain as their Creator made them, ignorance being safety, and knowledge full of danger. In short, my friends, among them also is seen the action and counter-action of good sense and of bigotry. They too have their anti-philosophists, who find an interest in keeping things in their present state: who dread reformation, and exert all their faculties to maintain the ascendancy of habit over the duty of improving our reason and obeying its mandates."
Having given this extract to our readers, we will give them time to consider and digest the contents of it. Our next paper shall be bestowed upon adding our mind to their's in developing and bringing to broad day light the deformity which lurks under it.
NEW-YORK, May 3.
A Bassetterre paper of April 9 says, "a letter from St. Bartholomews to gentleman in this island, mentions the arrival there of a vessel from Martinique, the captain of which, an intelligent man, gave the following account.—"An express had arrived from France, which says that a war with that nation and America is inevitable.—Buonaparte has officially demanded 30 millions of dollars, the amount of Coffee, &c. carried from St. Domingo to the Continent."—The St. Bartholomew paper mentions the above intelligence as a report, with the addition that a similar demand will be made on the Danish Islands by the French commanders in a few days."
Captain Sherry, from Guadalupe, informs us that in passing Antigua he saw 12 or 15 sail of the line and frigates, which had lately arrived from England for the purpose of intercepting the French West-India squadron. Mer. Adv.
An embargo, of thirty days continuance, was laid on all vessels in the port of Antigua about the beginning of March. ibid.
Capt. Eels, of the ship Two Brothers, arrived at Philadelphia on Tuesday morning in 16 days from St. Kitts, reports that the British squadrons under Admirals Cochrane & Graves, had arrived at Barbados, and that the latter had left their in pursuit of the French. These
fleets when united amounted to 14 sail of the line. ibid
PROCLAMATION.

And the several officers of his majesty's customs, and all others his majesty's subjects, are hereby enjoined and required to govern themselves accordingly.
Given under my hand and seal, in the Council chamber, Government house, in the town of Port of Spain, this 5th day of April, 1805, and in the 45th year of his majesty's reign.

By his excellency's command.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
BOSTON, April 29.
By the arrival at this port of the ship Palmyra, Capt. Remington, and Sally, Capt. Webber, from Liverpool, we have received London papers to the 18th March.
The advices, contained in these papers, present nothing new, in the aspect of European politics. Communications and propositions, both for peace and war, are continually presenting themselves to the different Cabinets of Europe; but so entangled are the relations, which subsist between the several governments, and so strong the jealousy entertained of each other, that it is found difficult, either to agree on the preliminaries of a pacific system of measures, or to combine the force necessary for a vigorous prosecution of the war against France. During this political interregnum, nothing is left to gratify publick curiosity but what is founded on mere rumour and conjecture.
Among other articles of intelligence of this kind, it was reported, that the answer of the Emperour Alexander, to the communication by the British King, of Buonaparte's overtures of peace, had been received in London, but the purport of it was not known; that insuperable difficulties opposed the formation of an offensive and defensive alliance between Great Britain and Russia, and that Prussia had undertaken to prevent a like treaty between her and Sweden.
Opposed to this it is observed, by one of the most intelligent London prints, that, "the most interesting events are now in their progress; and the war, at the present moment, has a chance of becoming active and important."
The secret expedition was stated to be in readiness, and would sail on the 21st March.
LONDON, March 15.
An American ship from the Texel, which arrived in Dover Roads yesterday afternoon, has brought the important intelligence of the sailing of the Dutch fleet from the Texel on Monday last. Previously to their sailing an embargo was laid on all Merchantmen. It still continued after the fleet sailed; but the American and five other ships made their escape in the night.
March 13.
We have received Paris papers to the 9th—The session of the Legislative Body was put an end to on the 6th, by a speech from one of the government orators, M. de Segur. He expressed the Emperour's complete approbation of their conduct; dwelt upon the imposing ceremony of the coronation, rendered more august by the presence and participation of the Pope; alluded to the laws that had been passed during the session; to the excellent state of the finances; to the new conscription, and to the pacific overture to this country. Upon the conscript law he made the following remarks—"Whilst among our enemy every thing is in a state of fermentation and agitation, you have proved, by a law
upon the conscription, that we do not stand in need of fresh efforts; and this new law differs only from the last, by a more just and moderate distribution relative to our coasts and maritime departments." Upon the pacific overture he said, "It was at the moment in which a warrior, almost always favoured by fortune, might so naturally have promised to himself fresh laurels, that, silencing his passions, Napoleon modestly proposed peace to our enemies. If blood must flow upon the earth and sea, his letter forever absolves us, and throws all the responsibility upon that blind government, which would prolong the effusion of it." M. de Segur proposed to state, that the Emperour's constant endeavours were to give repose to his country, independence to the seas, and peace to the world.
The Moniteur has not published any further details with respect to the capture of the Mediterranean convoy, and it does not appear that one of the captured ships has yet reached a French port; indeed we now know that the enemy exaggerated the numbers, and our prediction that many would be found to have made their escape, has been verified.
The anger manifested by the Moniteur at the cool reception which Buonaparte's fallacious overture of peace experienced in this country, and the fear which it expresses, lest an English subsidy should be accepted by any of the Continental Powers, afford the best possible explanation of the state, and of the views of the French Government. They are worth volumes of idle reports from ill-informed travellers. They shew at once that France is completely baffled in her views of subjugating this country, and even more, that "England, single handed," is more than a match for her; they shew the changeable and shifting politics of the Usurper, that when he could not compass his end by open force, he endeavours to do it by fraud; by an offer of peace, or rather a truce, which should induce us to disarm, and leave ourselves exposed to fresh manoeuvres. They confirm the wisdom of the late ministry in commencing the war, before our enemy had completed his preparations, and of the present, in declining to be duped by a pretended pacific overture.
By the Fly cutter, which arrived at Yarmouth on Friday last from the Texel, which place she left on Thursday, the Dutch fleet had made its first movement, two line of battle ships belonging to it having come down into the outer road.—This circumstance, no doubt, gave rise to the report brought by an American ship which put into Dover, that the Dutch squadron had actually put to sea.
Sweden has been obliged, by the remonstrances of Prussia, to decline the proffered subsidy from this country.
Portugal is stated to have purchased, with the concurrence of this country, the permission of France to remain neutral in the war by a yearly subsidy of six millions of crusades.
Such was the activity of the Marine Department in Spain that 12 ships of the line were completed for sea during the last month, and an equal number are to be equipped within the present month.
The Courts of Vienna and Petersburg are decidedly hostile to the intended creation of a monarchy in Lombardy. Austria has remonstrated in strong terms against the change, as being contrary to the stipulations of the treaty of Luneville, and we understand it is for the present deferred. Prussia has, on the contrary, recommended the measure, as tending to establish the tranquillity of that country, and as barring any views or claims which Austria may entertain in regard to it.
The French papers in an article which we published on Tuesday, stated, that the French Government would not undertake partial operations, but would strike several blows at us at once.
What will the enemy of the financial system of this country say, when we state, that by the beneficial operation of the Sinking Fund, no less a sum than 1,698, 13s. 4d. is at present applied, per quarter, to the reduction of the national debt, and that the sum already redeemed amounts to 113,522,291. sterling.
The Emperour of France is about to visit Italy, accompanied by the Pope.
The Sheriffs of Middlesex have been committed to Newgate, for illegal and corrupt conduct in the late election.
Of the Toulon fleet, the Paris official papers state, that it sailed from that port the 15th Jan. 1805, with a large body of troops under General Lauriston, and that after being at sea four days, it was overtaken by a violent storm, and obliged to return into port. The account of the capture of the British sloop of war Arrow, and the Acheron bomb, with about twenty sail of the Malta homeward-bound fleet, by two frigates which parted in the gale, is confirmed. The Arrow fought L'Incorruptible of 44 guns, an hour and a quarter, had 57 men killed and wounded; and sunk immediately after the action. Her vigorous resistance effected the escape of ten or twelve of her convoy. All the rest were taken or destroyed; & the English prisoners landed at Carthagena. It was conjectured the Toulon fleet was bound to Egypt. Lord Nelson, who was cruising off Sardinia with 12 sail of the line, had immediate intelligence of the Toulon fleet; and was in full pursuit, when it returned into port.
NOTICE.

Port of Nassau, N. P. April 19.
Arrived on Tuesday, his Majesty's ship La Bacchante of 22 guns, Charles Dashwood Esq. commander, from a cruise. The Bacchante having heard there were French privateers which had exceedingly annoyed the British trade lying in the harbour of Mariel, two boats were sent in under the orders of Lieutenant Oliver, with 16 men, in order to destroy them. Lieut. Oliver finding it necessary to take possession of a fort which defended the harbour, he in the most gallant manner attacked and carried a round tower thirty feet high, under a most heavy discharge of musketry, notwithstanding it was protected by two 18 pounders and 35 men—killing two of the enemy, and wounding several others, with the loss of one man wounded. The privateers unfortunately had sailed the preceding evening, or there cannot be a doubt but he would have carried them. He, however, brought off three small vessels loaded with sugar and molasses, and spiked the guns of the tower.
