The Ori,nt, Bray, from Marblehead her Spain.
Hs been tried at Halifax ; the ship and West In-
dia produce cleared; but the East India produce,
by far the most valuab!e part of her cargo, con-
demned. It seems this decision was given on anew
giound, vie. that Americans have nit a right to ek-
r'ror articles, whi:h they imisort from the British
East Indies. The 13th article of the British treaty
was referred to ; but that article, we believe, has ex-
pired, unless the Judge chooses to consider it as vir-
tually existing, because the British have not excluded
us from trading to their East India colonies. The
Judge gave his decision with diffidence, and hoped
an appeal would be made. The Or egt was after-
wards allowed to proceed on her original voyage,
Riving bonds to the amount of the East India goods.
W. subjoin an extra horn an article of the treaty.

Extract from the 13th article:—" But it is ex-
pressly agreed, that the vessels of the UnitecirStates
shall net carry any of the articles exported by them
from the said British territories, to any port or place,
except to some port or place in Amaiks.; where the
same shall be unladen, and such regulations i 1.411 be
adopted by both parties, as shall, from time to time,
be found necessary to enforce the due and faithful
observance of this s:ipulation."
We believe such exports as the Or:ea: was making
were never complaincd of bervie.
Lund cf a lever from the Captain of an Ame-
rican vessel at Laguna, dated July 25th, to the Edi-
tor of The Mereastile eldeertese,:—" Previous to my
departure, I promised you if I saw any thing worthy
the notice of year excellent paper, to communicate
it to you. I therefore sit down in this dreadful
place, to give you the details of injust.ce and pira-
cies committed on our commerce.

to give sack information as may prevent them from

are fitting out here, whether by order of govern-
men', or for ind:vilual enterprise, I know not ; but
that they commit depredations, in the open view of
this port. on our unproteeted commerce, is certain ;
several Americans having already experienced the
mortification of being brought in here, as well as
into Cohan° (which seems to be the favourite poet,
being at a great distance from Cie seat of govern-
ment) under the special pretence of having Briti.b
goods on board ; and, after experiencing every spe-

We have spared so trouble this morning to ac-
vire a corral knewled3e of the hafts c ,t 1 teaed
with the eillainoos seizure of a valuable ship cwith'n
our own 11 or a' Cis. The case of the 014.11 a, as fa. as
we are permitted to state at present, is this : —The
Othell. was an American ship, commanded by Capt.
Glover, bound from Livapool for Baltimore, anti
came to anchor lar Sunday morning in the Pala:sad,
being a more agreeable harbour with a head wind
than the open bay. Some time after, the Captain
of the French frigate Patriot came on board the
Othdio, where he continued two hours. The heha-
viour of the French Captain was gentlemanly, and
he obtained from Capt. Glover some English News-
papers. Soon after the French Commander had
returned to his ship, Captain Glover discovered a
schooner alongside the Patriot, which proved to be
a Fiends privateer. Shortly after, she came up, and
commenced firing on the Othello. The privateer
had discharged several vollies of musketry, a ball
from one of which passed through the hat of Captain
Glover's Mate, when Captain Glover sent off a boat
to inquire into the cause of the assault. The Captain
of the privateer commanded Capt. Glover and his
dficets to repair with his papers on board his vessel.
The Commander of the privateer soil he wc,el.l
make a prier of the Othello, as coming from an
English port,and of the cargo, being British manu-
faCture. He acknowledged his iotercnurse with the
French frigate, by stating, that he lad read the
Paper: which had been received by her Commandcr
from Captain G. after which, being a,ked what
has! been his business alongside the P,;:.-at, 1 e an-
swered, that he had an iron made for hi; ruder by
her blacksmith. 'Fite Commander or the privateer,
it appears, had offered a pilot-boat 100 dollars to take
him with the Otbetfo,out of the Capes, clear of the Bri-
tish squadron. The pilot refused ; but we are not
informed whether from this circumstance it was the
Othello was liberated. A full statement is preparing
for the public, of this outrage. From the relation
of a respeetable Gentlemen, well acquainted with
the faits above stated, we are inclined to believe that
the privateer was countenanced by the Captain
of the French frigate Patriot. This impression,
we acknowledge, is produced by the assertion of
the privateer's Captain, that the Captain of the
Patriot supplied him with 14 men, and offered him
100 --(BultillSOPC Federal Moselle.)
We are informed that General Turreau, the
French Minister to the United States, who is now
in this city, on heating the report that the pirate that
seized on the Othello had been eountenanced and as-
sisted by the Commander of the Patriot, immediately
seat down a commission to inquire into the business,
with the express declaration, that if they had in any
way connived at, or aided in the attack on the
Othello, the guilty should be delivered up to the
Government of the United States, to be proceeded
against agreeably to the laws of this country. Capt.
Comegys, we understand, has gone down with
these instruaions.
Two or three more detachments of volunteers
sailed, last night, on board an armed schooner, in
pursuit of the buccaneers, who attempted to carry
off the Othella.—(Fr.n* The American.)
We are happy to learn (says a late Charleston
Paper) that Capt. KALTISSIN, the Commanding
Officer of Fort Johnson, has received advice that a
large supply of cannon and military stores has
been ordered on to this city for the defence of our
harbour. Six cannon, IS and '25 pounders, with
travelling carriages, and ten 14 pounders, are di-
rated by the SECRIT AR Y of WA R to be deposited
in this city, under the chaise of the Oshcer corn-
mand.ng the Militia.

Yesterday, the ',Plaine frigate, Capt. Farquhar,
put into this harbour, Eiveng on board his Royal
Highness the Duke of Bei ry and suite, who intended
to debark here, learning that the King cf Sweden
was at Helsinelorg, and the wind prrving favour-
able for the Sound, immediately set sail thither.
The accounts we have received, that
XVIII. had loft Cariscruns, and returned to Mittau,
are unfounded ; the truth is, he is still in Sweden,
and etpeaed daily here. The Swedish frigate the
Treas. of 44 guns, which is ordered spin duty now,
and is now m..)oreJ here by what are called the
Flemish Roads, it is thought, is appointed to take
His Majesty to England.
