Extract of a Letter from Flushing, in the Island of Tralci,cren,
• to a respectable .ITemse in London.
.44 We Dutch Traders here have been greatly surprised:and
gratified on the result of the trial, in London, of the sailors be-
longing to the Four Brothers Cutter.—Your English Juries
are very humane, and, to their credit, believed, the evidence of
the respectable adies and Gentlemen. we sent over to the trial,
who said all the poor men were Dutchmen, and not Folkstone
people. Our dashing luggers and cutters will now pass down
the Channel, and go where they please, without interruption by
the British cruizers,—because,- if Dutch,. (and we can always
prove that,) we have no right to be seurehed by any one. .Phis
said right of search has been a sore hindrance to our fair trade
for many years; thank Ile-a-Ven an English Jury has put an end
to it, and we shall now send Tobacco and Gin in any package*
we please, to Faro 01 elsewhere, without fear or intetruption.—
It is astonishing what bustle arid activity this affair tax put us
all in, many fine vessels will be refitted, loaded, and sent to sea
in consequence, and our numerous and high spirited.. sailor.,
with an Orangie Boren in their hats, will no more be i;irk;gett
into your Naval service, but bid defiance to all examinktiOn
the Channel, now " open to all flags, and itytaencedlsOlisht."
The name of ono of the Learned couneel who made so famous
a Speech in the Court, is now gratefully spoken pf here, as the
eloquent advocate of " Free Trade,"and "Lurhingtor: forever ?"
is now consecrated by all parties in Flushing and Middleburg;
in butnpers every night once this interesting news arrived,—
Another Gentleman of the same name is well known here, but
is not quite so popular as at Canterbury.—The Englishlanguage
is now becoming snore general amongst. our sailors, since it is no
longer necessary to learn Dutch."
