other cause, does not n.ppear. However much Fer-

like this, upon general principles—but there would
be such an extravagance of folly in the final rejec-
tion of the Treaty, that we are nut yet prepared to
give credit to the probahihi•y of such au event.

LONDON,
THURSDAY, SgrrEmsza 2. 1819.

Among the hardships of the times, and the derp
depression of trade in every direction, it is truly
humiliating, as well es disgusting, to learn, that our
merchants and merchantmen are still subject to the
piratical depredations of the lianditti, who, tinder
the pretended flag of patriotism, or otherwise, con-
thine to insult, fob, and shah our citizens, sad
others, within our own dominions and our own
waters. The account of the late trancaclions
of
this sort in the Mississippi River, continued as they
were for six successive days, and this too since the
existence and operation of a law of the United
States, made for the express purpose of preventing
the•very evil which has occurred, appears to us to
be of a more aggravated character than any that
have hitherto happened, numerous and vexatious as
they have often been.

determined to march this night on Chester, its older
to ilo•sesa themselves of the depot of •lIRS (at least
40,000, exclusive of 11,000 pikes), and the immense

are taken. The soldiers of the garrison, insar4l of
