ceived the fame 4iLainons treatment from capt
Murray, as wasofered captain White by his lieu
tenant. He refuied to look at the role d'Euui-
page, and refufed to deliver up the men, damn d
their projections, and threatened alto to detan
the mate.
Such conduct as this calls loudly for the in
reference of our government. This is not a
foiitary inltance, but one among many others of
equal atrocity. The Ocean is warming with
Britilh cruizers, whole commanders are guided
by no law, but their own power; and a6tuated
by no principles of iunice, nor any ienfe of pro-
priety; they forcibly take our men, without re-
gard to their country or projections.
The names of the men taken from Capt. w.
are as follows: Thomas Knapp, born in New.
buryport John Evans, born in Virginia; John
Blume, born in Philadelphia, where his mother
now lives; and Jofeph S. North, born in Chef.
