Extract of a letter from Britiih officer, at Ha-

July IL.

raj Lord BerkeIY for leave of abfcnce on nv
private affairs for two months, which he readi-
ly granted. I had good iutereft with him. The
TT. rev. DIR. Irglifs, the bihop of this province,
afked it as favour. had taken my paf1age
aud put my baggage in an American flip that
had been fent here by one of our Hoops Of war,
but was releafea immediately by the court of
admiralty. While waiting a change of wind,
the Co!umbine lloop of war, lord Townfend,
arrived and brought the account of that diareiI:
ing affair at Norfolk.
The admiral lcnt his fecretary to fay "that
from the accounts he had received from the u.
States, it would be highly improper in him to
iuher any Britiih officer to go to any part q T
the United States alto added, he had no fort
OF doubt of an Immediate rupture between the
two countries" i pray Heaven to prevent it,
as 1t will materially injure the trade of the two
hneft countries on earth.
The commerce of England and America CO.
vers the OCEAN, and they are almoft the only
iags you'll meet on the ocean; then why go
to war! Every thing here is in the mott active
ltate of preparation-in the kings dock yards,
all the hands work double tides, and every thing
that can float is getting ready for fea. A mum.
Der OF furnaces for heating red hot balls have
been ihiPped for the fquadron in the Chefa-
peake, and in ihort there are as active prepa-
rations on foot as if the war was actually de.
clared. 1 heard report this morning at the
admiral's, that there is an account of fmall
vehel having arrived at Windfor, about so miles
from hence, from one of the fouthern ports of
the United States, that fays an embargo was
actually laid on by the PRECEDENT of the United
States"

Much error having appeared in the accounts circu-
lated, OF what Pailed between the government and
Mr. Erikine, in the cafe of the ieamen, to obtain
whom the Leopard made the late attack ON the Che
iaPeake, we are induced fate, that as we under
ttand, on application by MIR Erfl;ine, for their fur
render, he was informed that it could not be done
and was eferred the written anfwers given by the
Secretary OF State, on previous application in ano-
ther cafe, for the principles which the furrender
oil BrItiih deierters retuted. 1t remarked to
Mr. Erikine, at the fame time, both by the Secretary
OF the Navy, and the Secretary Of State that atho'
the government could deliver up deierters it was

ders had been ifiued naval commanders not to
permit any brh delerters to be recruited for the
American iervice. They alto informed Mr. Erikne
lew days AFTER that they had lufcient realon for
believing that the feamen in queiion were native c
tzens OF the United States; this being the reiut of
an enquiryf made by Capt Barron, in purfuance of
orders from the Secretary of the Navy On this point
Mr. Erikine exprefed opinion. This was no,
aiked, becauie his opinion could form no part of the
ground on which the government proceeded; and it
was not offered beeaufe appears to have been his
Praaice, and to have been held as his duty afn, to
90 no more than to ranimit withou, remarks, what
ever documents or information relative to facts he
might judge proper to be forwarded to the Birth
Admirals on different ifatons. In this cafe he ac

Britiih naval commander, that the refut of an en-
quiry made by Captain Barron, had fatisfed our

piracy, and an attempt to murder their officers The

any other offences than thofe of actual murder and
