THE CASE OF CAPTAIN WRIGHT.

tn offering to our Readers the cnrrefpondence be-
tween the French Government and out own, relative
to an exchange of prifoners, we rentured to call
their particular attention to the cafe of Captain
%Night, as being mure aggravated than any other,
and as forniliting an argument for vigorous war,
which, we thought, mull come home to every man's
feelings.
It has fence been foggefled in fume papers, that
as a rae.tfore of jull retaliation, General Boyer, or
Tome ether French officer of rank, now a prifoner of
war in this country, fiould he immediately fine in irons to
the lower. Our right to do this none will difpute ;
the Lex Talionis is formally recognized by the
Laws of Nature and Nations ; but whether the
exercife of this right, in the prefent eale,be mntl eon.
Uent with the charader, and moll congenial to the
lentiments of the Britifh nation, we cannot but ex-
prefs our ferious doubts.
In the perfon of Captain Wright, the charatter of
every naval and military officer in our fervire has
been attacked, the honour of our country infulted,
and our vengeance fet at defiance. Would it !tot be
a poor enmpenfation (if inch a term can be ufed in
fuch a caufe) to wreak a petty revenge on a French.
man, whom the chances of war have call upon our
More, and entitled to our protedion ? The nut, agecom-
nutted by Bonaparte on the perfon of a &kills fubjea
is an outrage offered to the Britifh nation at large ,•
but the retaliation, alluded to above, would fall
only on an individual, or at moll un the few thou-
far.d prifoners now in our power. It has been indeed
thrown out that the French navy and army, finding
themfelves individually liable to fuch retaliation,
might rife in a body, if not to pull down the Ufurper,
at haft to demand the releafe of their Englifh hi-
loners. But, lo fay nothing of the delufivenefs of
fuch an expesftation, and the artifices that would fo
effedually be employed to diflort and mifreprefent
the proceedings of our Government, is it, we would
aflc, in the clinic and temper of Britons, to owe the
fafety of their countrymen to the interceffion of their
enemies ?

When the fortune of war obliges us to carry on
hoflilities againft favage nations, we lament the hard
neceflity which fubjeds thofe of our countrymen who
fall into their hands to the tortures of the tomahawk
and burning pile ; but this confiderajon, though it
may inflame our fury in the heat of battle, and add a
fat of defperation to our courage, will yet not drive
us to imitate the horrible example. And if our bar-
barous enemy be brought alive into our camp, the
treatment he receives may perhaps lead him to con-
trail our character with his own, and to pay involun-
tary homage to that courage, which, being Fatisfied
with the furrender of its toe, looks upon him after-
wards not as a vidim for revenge, butias an obje& for
mercy.
Such were the fentiments and condua of our fore.
fathers; fuch ton were the fentiments and conduit
of Frenchmen, when, under their ancient monarchy,
their virtues were !Offered, and their vices controuled.
Then, humanity and honour tempered the fword .of
their Nobleire, and in the Royal Crown of Lours
(unlike the iron diadem of the Corfican) the rich,
jewel of a Lighminded gallantry was fet round With'
the brilliant
.drops of pity and companion. Then,
the moft beautiful and admired Princefs of hit- day
did not think it beneath her dignity, to Rep from
her throne, in order to dry the tears of the wretched
wife of the unfortunate Asc mt.. Every. true French-
man, who lives to have been witnefs to that time,
snuff now forely feel the degradation of his national
character, to fee the crown, which was his pride,
trampled under foot; the fword, which was the fafe-
guard of his honour, broken over his head ; while
she charafter which VOLTAIRE affixed to his name,
only in the bitternefs of jeft, has been realized • and
a brutal, vulgar, and ferocious rabble, without flame
and without remorfe, have turned his country, once
the grace and ornament of Europe, into a howling
defart of wild-beans.
Had BONAPARTE been able to carry his threat of
invafion into execution (an invafion intended for
ihothing lets than our extindion as a nation) ; had
lie fuccefsfully poured lit upon us fuch myriads, as
made the boafting Perrino believe he could over-
whelm Greece; perhaps- (for we fpeak it with fear
and tufa:lug) perhaps in filch a day (to borrow
the fine image of Mr. BURKE) We Ratites of Mercy
and Comparßon might have been veiled, while a
dreadtul facritice was offering up on she. altar of
tnitil vengeance. •
But, thank lisavEN ! we are as yet fpared the fa.
•etity of filch a trial; arid fetus not be tempted bfi
any thing let's than a firoggle for our eziftence, to
twcrve from the golden rules of honourable warfare,
or forfeit the:precious pledge of our national faith.
The futferiugs of Captain WRIGHT can never be
atoned for by the (offerings of General l3orri. lie
mull be futlained (under Faovins es) by his own
Spirit of fortitude and heroifas. We cannot march
to Paris, to aat his deliverance; and, if he fhould
at Lin be put to death, he will fall a noble martyr in
no common caufe. His blood will net have been fhed
in vain ; and no Britifh Captain will hereafter repofe
en his aims contented, till, in the open .Sold of

manly wdrTa•e, his fword has facrificed to the manes:
of Captain WRIONT.'
glevring the fubjeel In this light, we have ventur-
ed to publith our fentiments ; and, as Britons,
tannot but ferieufiy deprecate the fuggeflion we
have noticed, which we hope was but the ebullition
of a fit of flatly anser, feeking to vent its pillion on
the firli objeft in tts way. We trnft that General
BOYER, and every other Frenchman in fimilar cir-
comftances, will continue fecure in the hands of
Britith honour, and that we shall (corn to take ad•
vantage even of the authority of the law, to forfeit
our national good fa.th, which is tacitly pledged to
every prifoner of war.

REMARKABLE REVERSES OF FORTUNE —lt is force
years fince a foldicr of the name of Green happened
to die and leave behind him a molt engaginr, little fe-
male child of the name of Role. The Lady of Cap-
tain .Murray adopted the infant as her own, had her
educated and taught every accompliffiment becom-
ing a perfhn who was to be introdeced into that litu-
ation of life. Whilft the Captain was with his regi•
ment at Pnrtfmouth, the girl, in common with the
reD of the family, became intimate with Captain
Charles Patton, of the Royal Navy, who is an OE
cer of the Tranfport Board. She played with the
children of that gentleman, and was confidered en-
tirely as their equal, being at that time called Mils
Murray, the Captain's Lady not wishing to difclofc
the fecret of her dependence on their family. The
soth regiment, to which the Captain belonged, was
ordered out to Egypt, and there Dr. White, a gen-
tleman of conliderable fortune, and of the utmoll
talent in his profellion, became enamoured of the
fallibility and accomplifbments of the young lady.—
He made honourable profeflions towards her, and
Paid, that with the pet-million of Captain M. and his
lady, he would wills to be married to Mifs M. as focn
as the was fufficiently advanced in years for the ma-
trimonial Date. Shortly after that, however, the
Donor made the defperate experiment of inoculating
himfelf with the plague, in order to !hew bow by
good management that diflemper could be got the
better of. However he unfortunately fell a victim
to that dreadful malady, and the young lady met
with a molt trying difappointment. After the gal-
lant exploits of our army in Egypt, the Captain and
his family returned with the reft of the army to their
own country. In a fhort time after their return, Mrs.
Murray died in Scotland. Mifs M. as the mull now
be called, was then expofed to another grievous trial.
Some fiiends of the Captain's family undertook to
patronife Mifs M. but their demeanor was not alto-
gether fo tender and affeshionate as that of the de-
ceafed lady, and Mils M. determined on coming to
London, to look for employment in any fervice for
which fhe might be thought fit. Here a.(till greater
misfortune followed, fur which the was hired by a
wretch of her own fex, who endeavoured to prevail
on her to turn to the molt abominable courfe of life
that could be fuggefted to a young girl poffeffed of
the molt honourable fentiments, and the higheft de-
gree of refined fallibility. She fputned the idea, and
inftantly quitted the houfe of that infamotss wretch.
She was then reduced to the greatell diftrcfs for the
common tieceffaries of life, and on the tzth of Sep-
tember, the was found by a gentleman of the name
of Harris, (ruing on the lteps of a door in Piccadilly,
in an alma exhaufted Hate. He inquired into. her
Dory, and found, upon writing to Captain Patten, at
Portfmouth, that it was perfeltly -cotieit, with the
additional circumftance of Dr. White havinganade a
will, by.v.thich he left her a confiderable property.—
The will was in the hands of Mr. Biggery, carpen-
ter, then belonging to his Majefty's (hip Hind. She

when the became melancholy; was fubjedt to fits, and

an event as bad already taken place, to go to Bow-
fillet, and apply for having her for the prefent, put

might be to pro:eft her. It was found after force in-
veftigation, that the poor girl 'was born abroad, that

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS.—The Second Bat-
talion of this Regiment afrembled yeflcrday morn
ing about nine o'cl.lck, upon Bogden Green, in Hyde
Park, for the infpeelion of Lieutenant General his
Royal highners the Duke of CAMBtIDG 6, who now
has the command.

Soon afterwards, his Royal Highnefs appeared up-
on the ground, accompanied by his Royal Highnefs
the Commander in Chief, Generals Las:A 11, CALVERT,
&c. when this noble regiment prefented arms. The
Royal Brothers then went down the line, and infpcc-
ted the three ranks with great minutenefs.
An open column of companies was then formed,
and marched paft their Royal Highnefres in ordi-
nary and quick time. After refuming their former
pofition, they were wheeled into line, and marched
forward in a body, with (bouldered arms. They wet e
then halted, and their front changed, by throwing
back the right, forming an open column of compa-
nies, in front and rear of the feventh company ; the
left in front, and wheeling into line. The regiment
then advanced in line, about two hundred yards, and
retreated in like manner, in great order. Not a file
was feen broken ; they were then halted and fronted;
a dole column of companies was formed in rear of
the grenadiers, in which order they were marched
forward a hundred yards, and, upon the march,
broke into an open column : and, after taking up
their original ground, they were halted and wheeled
into line, which ended the manoeuvres. The regi-
ment afterwards prefented arms, while the officers
fainted—and his Royal Highnefs rode up to Colonel
WY NYARD, the officer commanding the battalion, and
with that diftinguifhed grace and elegance for which
his Royal Highnefs the Duke of CAMBRIDGE is fa
remarkable, exprefred his entire fatisfallion of the
good a7pearance of the regiment, and its (teady dill
cipline. The Royal Brothers, after chit, amount-
ed, and inrpeded the three ranks on roc-, amounting
t.) coS rank and file. Whila this erns dc:ng,the guard
was told off, and paraded -for St. James's, when the
remainder of the regiment was thrown into columns
of rub-divifions, marched in this order pall his
Royal Highnefs, the officers fainting, and returned
to their quarters.
Great credit is due to Col. WYRY ARD, for the good
order, appearance, and difcipline, of this regiment,
than which nothing can be more perfed.
