AUTHENTIC.

The following extracts from letter writ
ten by gentleman of high itation and authori-
ty in Halifax, dated July IS. 1907, to an Eng
lilh gentleman in bottom, will be found to me.
rt ferous attention.
50 cannot avoid taking the earieh opportu-
nifty Of expecting to you my extreme Etisfaeli-
on at the temperate and difpafIiouate manner in
which the public at Bottom iecm inclined to
diicuis the late unfortunate tranfaclioD which
took place off the Capes Of Virginia, between
his Majefy's flip Leopard, and the u. States
friga,e the Chefapsdke :---as I am perfectly
convinced when every circumfance comes TO
be Investigated, ttofe hcaft -burnings and ami
notifies which the enemies TO both countries
are eudeayouring to foment, will be done away
J can only exprefs my win, that their brethren
to the foUthward had acted as wifely and al
cautioufly as the meeting at Bottom - Great
Britain would THEN have no jult caute of com
plant, and thofe aggrefIions which fe cannot
tamcly overlook, would not have happened.
" 1t ia my mott earnelt deiire TO prove TO A.
nerica how much mjfdken tho;c perfons are.
who think it is not the inclination as well az
the intereit of my country TO remain at peace
with her. II it were not, we certainly fiioulI
be fully juf fed, with the power we po1sf to
retaliatc mott completely thofe injuries aud in
futs which the meetings at Norfolk have tho,
proper, without the authority of heir royern-
nent, 20 heap upon his Majedy's Ghips, and in
violation Of the Proclamation ifued by the Pre-
fIdrut Of the u, States.
Z" Z now underHand, from the authority Of
hat Proclamation of the Prehdents that the
defsrters which were 70 frequently demanded,
aud 10 ofteu refJfed, were fuppoied to be ma

country, therefore, requires us to undeceiye the
public az wei as the Preiidcuf, who has been
moa ih1mefully abhied and nin ID by whoever
Jared to propagate fach 4 falfehood. IL will,
however, be found, that. of ihofe men, who
were t7kea out OF The Chefapeake, not one ia
an American, ard that one has received very
large additional hounlIes from this very pro-
vince, rs an Englb feaman that the gunner
of bis MsjeAy's fiip ChIcheltrr, who acted as
