To place the condtict of the Magistrates of Nor-
folk,in America, and the Officers who recruited'
for he biesapeaki in a more particular 'and distinct
point of view than it is shown 'in the order of Adm.
BERKELEY,, we subjoin the following Extra& from
the Charlestown C'ourier, of the 3d of July
" In the ,Month of March, the Halifax sloop of
war, commanded by Lord TOWNSBEND, was lying
in Haii)pten Roads, and one of hcr boats, with
four men and a petty Officer, was sent on some
'duty. Being out of the reach of , the guns of the
Halifax, or being Unobserved, the men • rose upon
the Officer, and. ghee threatened to throw him
,overboard;, this, hoWever, they did not. do, but
pulled for the thore,, .which they reached, and pro-
ceded for this place, .:where-. they' .entered with:,an
Officer then engaged-; in the
,enlistinent of men. for
the Chesapeak. A formal demand was made to.have
them delivered up: The Civil iinihority refused ~to
interfere, and the Officer who had enlisied them did
not think himself' authorized to deliver them without
orders from his superibii. The case was represented,.
we believe, at 11/ashington, bat what fassecd tbertron
the suljecl we know nut. The men were cwt delivered
up, 'send were, belief ed to be on board the Chesapeak.
We are confident,that a representation of the
case was made to the British Government, whose
orders, we apprehend, were to take the men where-
ever- they were to be found. Our readers wilibe
infortlied, that the Leopard arrived here only. a few
days since, and brought the orders Of the Admiral at
Halifax to take the wen at all event 4, and under any
circumstances. .

,‘ It ipay t e obietled that there has not been tittle .
.to hear morn England since the circumstance Pe-
spetiing the iiatykasoccurrecl, which we ihink was
about 9th or loth of March, but we know that'
•answeri to.letters written to London as late as the
f.lotli of March have been received here."

The Paper, from which we have made this ex-
tract goes on to say, " that if this as (meaning the
search by the Lappard) is to be ascribed to the Bri-
tish Government, there is an end to all further Ne-
gociation on, the subject, and War must be the re-
sult." We, may retort this observation, and say,
that, if we are to have no redress from the Govern-
ment, and that the American Legislature is capable
of sanetiOning ti)e proceedings in respea to the de-
serters• from the Halifax., NegOciation is useless,
and there is no way of ,deciding the question but by
an appeal to arms.

Trie, French Ship Patriot, 'ono of the Squadron
formerly commanded by JEEONIE BosAPAnTS, and
which for several months past, has been blockaded
by some English, Cruiiers in Pauttmet, below Nor-
folk, in America, lately, in violation of the neu-
trality of the United States, fitted out an American
Pilot-boat as a Privateer, putting ao Frenchmen on
beard. The Vessel retaining her appearance of a
Pilot,' has captured the Ceres, NIVEN, and some
other English Vessels. Commodore DOUGLAS, who
commands off the Chesapeak, in the:Bit/ono, of 74
guns, has' sent the Helampus Frigate in pursuit of
the enemy and has Made a strong, remonstrance to
the American Government, on the subj6t. of this .
