jesty's Frigates Milan and Clecipatra, arid Sloops.
of War Halifax arid Bermuda,- anchored in the bay
at NOrfolli.

The Charleston Cannier of the 6th inst. says,. the
British Sloop of War Driver dropped-down to Five-
Vathorn Hole yesterday morning. . .
The deportment. of Captain Love, of his:Bri.
tannic Majesty's Ship the Driver, is, on many .ac--
counts, worthy of the serious consideration of the
Arrimican people :-,-First, as a proof; if any were.
wanting, of the determination of the present British
Cabinet ;with respect to America ; next, as acoin-
ment:upon the condu4t of the Executive of this
country; thirdly, as it aspens a prospe6livotiewsto.
a series, of ktqv attialng events ; and, lastly; as a
symptom of the unqualified contempt into which
the party now in power have brought this once great
and respected, because respee-table, nation. • • '
What appears most extraordinary is, that Mr•T!,

While he very profoundly let all his hopes, and,
what id worse, his fears,, rest upon BaNfiellitTE, and
sat comfortably down -with Monsieur Toettemr, as
GaRGAUTOA sat with his dog, (he kissed the dog's
tail, and the dog scratched his elbow, says
he never refiated upon the possibility. that honest
JOHN Butd., good natured as he is, might "be made
angry ; but indulged in every petulance to • him,'
to please. his. high and mighty, friend; the Whis-
ky rs. But lie had reckoned without his host ; acid
were nobody but- hirnself concerned, it were:. well
that he 'should. made to feel it. The country-,
however, will unfortunately be. the sufferer ; and
their only remedy will be in the sentence they shall
finally pronounce upon him.
