NEW YORK, MAY a.
The Officers belonging to the Britifh Blips of war,
off New York, for whom, as we mentioned on Satur-
day, a flag bo•.t bad been fent up, were not detained
by any American authority or citizen, but were fe-
creted from popular vengeance by Come of their federal
friends. and were conveyed on board the Cambrian on
Thurfday night lad.
The Leander and Cambrian, we learn from the
Britiih Conful's paper of New York, were to have
railed the blockade of that port on Saturday, and
depart for Halifax—it was not mentioned whether
this had been the effeft of regret for the late proceed-
ings, or of apprehention lell theTfhould meet a punifh
:neat due to their cruelty and infolence.—/furora.
The United States Gazette of Wed nefday dated, in
pofitive terms, that while Congrefs had appropriated
two millions of dollars for tribute, it had refuTed to
appropriate one cent. to fortify the ports and her-
bouts of the United States. This is one of the un-
truths that that paper has ever been in the habit of
publifhing, without ►etraflin when convicted. There
are two falfehonds in the affertinn, no appropriation
for tribute has been made, and iyo,ooo dollars were
actually appropriated at the lad (Alan, for fortifying
and protesting our harbours ;the latter is beyond all
doubt, a• the law appropriating the fum is nn recotd,
and the former cannot be difputed ; if it can he
that any tribute was propofed of contemplated, much
more appropriated, we will cheerfully join with the
Gazette in all its denunciations. Until Practising
more than vague affertion is given, we mtill confider
it a grofs mifreprefentation. •
Let no man fuppofe that the murder of Pierce has
excited aettial and true abhorrence of the B-i tills in

MA Y 7.—A new and glaring 'atilt is offered to the
inhabitants of this defeneelefs city, in the Prefident's
proclamation. Inflead of boldly demanding Captain
Wart BY of his Government, to be tried by our laws,
we are commanded by our High Admiral to erre-ft
him if he comes within our harbours ; and if he re-
mains on board his (tip (although within 200 yards
of the city) he refutes to give himfelt up, we are

meat would give us Ibips.

Reinlved unanisnouily, That the Prefident of the United States
had better be employed in affecting the right, defending t►e ho-
