ItIttACT 0? A LETTeR PROM Botnntr,AuX, DArEn,
MAY 13, RECEIVED AT CHARI.ETON.
~" By an Order lately issued by the French Go.
vernment, all the Maritime Prefefis throughout
France are enjoined to make a strift examination of
the crew of every neutral vessel' that enters the Port
of their residence, with a view to . arrest all the
English Mariners that maybe found. This measure
seems to proceed from their apprehensions th4t the
English'Cruizers introduce. on' board such vessels
men in the quality of Spies, and on the return of
the vessel from Port,, that they have their men re.
turned, and thus are enabled to communicate kssen.
tial information tolhe &mks of this Country.
.4a In consequence of this Order, the Police of
Anurdeaux have arrested several sailors found in this
City, and who, though English by birth, were at.
?ached to'Atnerican Vessels. They e'en demanded
from on board the ship the First and Second Mates
of the Three Sisters, Capt. CLaottct, ofCharleston ;
and, on our ConsuPs refusal to comply, Corre.
spondence took place between him and.ilie Commis-
eery of Police, of which, I am sorry to say; I inn
only able to procure the two last, though I beiievt
the m,st important letters ; which I send y

" Its conformity with the express and tepeated
Orders of the nepartment, and not withstanding the
ob.,ervations cuotailked in your letter of to.day,
hereby request you immediately t,) put into my
,power, and on }'our responsibility, the First.and Se-
cond Mates of tile AmericaoVessel the Three Sisters.,
'46 As soon is these two mariners are. at my dis.
position, I shall deliver them up to the Prefel of
this Dparttrierit, under whose immediate cognizance
this affair prof falls, and he will determine on
it as he thtnkkpro ,er.. You can, therefore, concert
with him respeding, the steps to. be herealter
taken.

You know that it is customary, in entering civi.,
lized Nations, to shew some Passport or Title.—
The English have least of any the right of evading
this formality, since the Polite is no where more
rigorous with respeet to strangers than among
them; they:are even obliged to wait.foi a formal
authurity.{Fom che Minister before they can enter.
But Mr. AR BUTH NOT, at landing on the Con►i.
nent, had no Passport, o'r at 'least 'he did not think
proper to shew it to the Authorities of ,1411. um.
The Burgomaster of the Town, an old 1J141), gene.
rally respeatd and esteemed, carried his attention
so far as to send,him a Passport, in order to secure
him from any difficulties. .
Mr. As aorttrit.r apparently regarded as an out.
rage what in reality was'an anticipation, a delicate
attention'; he refused receiving his piss, declaring
that .417 e himself made big passports.". .
The Burgomaster, fAthful to ,his duty, as, laid
down by the laws,, ordered the PO-3tMattet to stop
the horses of a stranger, who refused to justify
his qu4lity, and pretended to defy the established
usages. • _ _ _ _

" Sia,

Mr. AR DUTliNni' immediltely ran to his house
like a mad-man; forgetting his charafter, the age
and reputation of...a..yenerable Magistrate, he user.
wheirned l.im with abuse, seized him by the throat,
and would perhaps hove strangled him, if the sight
of.the crowd which assembled had not. determined
the Englishman to let gu his victim, and to escape
by flight from the outcries which were raised against
hiin. . .

The StrMitt of Mr. ARBUTHNOT received the
passports, and . Mr. ARBUTHNOT, , during the
tumult, stole ,away wish tits suite, and continued
his mate to Vienna, through which he was to pass.

of the preuent Letter. 1 have the honour to salute
you.
