Our Readers will see from the American Papers,
that the old bone of contention between the two
countries respecting deserters, is still to be kepesp.
Thirteen deserters from the A FRICAINE, which car-
ried out Mr. JACKSON, have not only been harboured,
and in all probability seduced from their allegiance
by the ..elmericaus, but their Courts of law have re-
fused to lend their sanction to the British Officers
attempting to recover their men. After this,
can the Americans complain of our harbouring Ame-
rican se;:men on board our men of war ?
