. French Outrage.—The American Ship Brist4i
Packet, Captain BARNES, of Portsmouth, N.
with cargo of dry goods, &c. from London, bound'
to-New-Iork;. was met on the high seas in January
In:St, by two French Frigates, and was sunk by order
of the French Cominodorenot under the Milan
decree;--she loaded before that decree was known
in England—had no British license—shad not been
boarded from a British Man of Warneither could
it be asserted that her destruction was .necessary- to
prevent information ; no, her tempting cargo, whic4
was plundered; and that plunder distributed among
the crews of 4he Frigates, without even the form of
condemnation, vas the sole plea of the pirate. Had •
she. been in ballast she would have been permitted to: .
proceed on her voyage. This is a statement of in'
controvertible fa&s, and at a time when misrepre•
sentatioti and falsehood has become so meritorious

aTnong the yelpers of Ftance,'.it is necessary that
such pradices should be exposed, and such persons
among us that are so lost to patriotism, as to justify
such ads of outrage on the sovereignty and. inde-
pendence of America, as have been committed by.:
the French, both in Europe and in_ the West Indies,
are ariki.orthy the name of Americans, and should
be branded with infamy.—(Poi. Reg:).

a person who saw her going'dowit, after her de-
