yesterday with a party of friends to witness the launch
at Deptford, I was astonished to see a vessel coming
up the River with two 'flags flying,. viz, the Ameri.
Can flag under the Union Jack. Now, Mr. Editor,
although I found, upon inquiry, that the vessel in
question was detained under yule of the British Or-
ders in Council, and might perhaps be declared a
lawful prize; yet I do submit to you, whether it is
fair or proper to insult the good sense of John Bull
himself, or the feelings of the American subjects now
in this counti y, with a spectacle so humiliating to
the latter. They are already losers, in a pecuniary
point of view, to an unheard-of amount, and the con-
duct of our Naval Officers ought to be such as to al.
lay, and not to increase the irritation of the public
mind across the Atlantic.
a I wish I could be informed, through the medium
of your paper, if Mr. YORKE, or any of the Leads of
the Admiralty, have authorized the above wanton
insult upon a Flag which is confessedly neutral ?
