HAMBITROa, NOVEMBER B.
On the '2.lth of October s..2smral English pinnaces
Kane to Visbach, and att3ci..ed the French.garrisnn
Nnr the island of Dorcum ; but a brisk cannonade ob-
liged them soon to sheer off. Three brigs and a cut-
ter, which were at anchor in the Eastern Ems, sailed
on heating &e firing, and put out to sea wida the pin-
traces. 'the same day, the begs and the cutter re-
turned to the Eastern &lac-. Two other brigs were
at anchor to the East of the ;sle of Juyst—two other
larger vessels, appzrently frigates, wcre perceived
out at sea. ,
On the 25th, the Vice-Admiral L'Hermite 'made
with six gun-boats for the three brigs and the cutter,
which immediately weighed anchor and stood out to
sea. The six gun-boats continued to. cruize the re-
mainder of the day, keeping the enemy in sight, and
returned to their station at ,tight.

Stone time since the coast of Holland, as well as
'that of Denmark and the Han-lbw- th territory, were
on a sudden covered with a great number ef persons,
landed at night by El vessels. Their smulta-
swots, appearance would of col.rse attract the atten-
tion of a vigilant police. Some were sent to Am-
sterdam and others to Wesel. They all declared that
17...ngland had discarded them, beCause their 'infirmi-
ties and weunds had rendered them incapable of far-
ther service.
Some of them also add to this deposition, circum-
stances which impart a still more odious charneterlo
the ingratitude of the Islanders. One was pushed out
of the vessel, in a place where the water reached. his ,
shoulders, and it was not without great difficulty that
be reached the shore, with his wife and a child in his
arms.. Another saw three of his companions perish,
unable to reach th, shore.
When his Majesty passed through Wesel, he in-
quired into the cases of stub of those people as had
been sent`to that place. There were more than
fifty of them ; and though necessity had tirge4 them
all to enter into the English service, the Emperor
pardoned- them, and ordered them to be set at liberty.
Such is thi.diffelence .hetween the conduct of Eng-
land 'and that of France. The fiamer casts away, asl
an useless burthen, the unhappy people • wounded in
her service, and who are thereby rendered- incapable
of bearing arms—while the latter,
. on the contrary,.
receives and succours them; and restores them to their
•
country.
-The following is the substance of the declarations
and depositions made at Wesel, by a certain number
of these unfortunate victims of English policy and in-
gratitude. They have been collected in an authentic
prates vcrbal
" Jacob Cecil declared, that be was born at Ge-
neve, on the rth of April, 1177, and served three
years'in the 10th regiment of light infantry. 'Having
embarked As a passenger in.-an American vessel, in
1803, he was taken by the English, and fatted to
enlist-in the Hanoverian Legion, in which he served
five years and a half, -three.seounds rendered him un-
fit for service. He now thought he was entitled to
remuneration, but he was banished, throUn from a
frigate upon the. Danish coast, in a place where he
was tip to his shoulders in water. The poor man had
his wife and child in his arms, and made the shore
not aithout great'difficulry."
Thelk follows a list of other cases, equally vexatious
with the foregoing.

was added, that Mr. PERLEVAL was this day to wait
upon the ?Riser won the business. On a matter
which can be • perfectly known only to the parties
;concerned, we forbear to speculate, as a few days
will probably throw some new light upon the affair.

May Like place in the Councils of the REGENT before
