do hereby certify, that Mr.. Michael Lee,
one of the firm Of Richard Lee and Son, of
Ba!sfulare, called On me some time previous
to their advertisement in this paper, to solicit
my acceptance of their agency for the sale of
their medicines in AlcxsndTia an lieu of that
Of Mrs. Hannah Lee, his brothers. widow, for
inducement to me to make this change, that
Mrs. Lee WAS left in easy circumstances,
which would enable her to live comfortably
without business-thst Richard Lee and Son
were in possession Of the original recipes, and
from being long in the habit Of preparing the
medicines of Richard Lee, deceased, were the
only persons who could compound them. He
added, that some Of Mrs. Lees agents Fad al-
ready, on being applicdto, resigned her agen.
cy for theirs. In answer to MIR. N. Lee
said that, admitting the truth of what he as
serted, I could not with .propristy determine
until should hear from Mrs. Lee, to whom
I should write on the subject. On enquiry l
found that Mrs Lee was in possession of the
original recipe book Of her deceased husband
that she had assistants who were competent
to prepare her medicines from il in the same
manner as in his life time, and was fully de-
teruined to doso, not being leftby any means
III those easy circumstances which had been
represented but was Obliged to struggle fer
support of young family BY pursuing bust
ness which was their natural right, of which
it would be highly unjusti6able in any person
whatever to deprive them, much more In
those SO nearly connected with them as R.
Lee and Son; until Mrs. Lee thought proper
to giyeitup Of herself or was unable to con-
duct it, neither of which, appears to be the
case. therefore declined Mr. Michael Lees
proposal and make this declaration at the re-
quest of Mrs. Lee. 1t is il my apprehension
a true statement Of the merits Of the matter in
dispute between them Of which a discerning
public must now be left to judge and appreci-
ate. The well disposed will doubtless be in
clined to protect the interests of the widow
and the fatherless when attacked by those who
ought by every tie Of nature to defend them.

LiLONG IASIC
The following is a narrative Of cap
tain James Brown, Iateof the brig Sum
ner, Of this port.
On Sunday the Goth Of March last,
sailed from Norfolk, bound to Port An
tonic, in the Island OF jamaica OH the
outward passage, in going through the
Calcos passage, was boarded BY priva-
teer under Spanish colours, but which
| knew to be French privateer, which
on a former voyage, had seena Point
Petre, Gaudaloupe took from me
barrel Of -four, the oars Of the boat,
some plank, and other small articles,
for which they refused payment. On
board OF the priyateer was a negro, that
| recognized as the property Of Mr..
John Cranberry Of this place, who was
as expert thief as any on board the
privateer.
On the 2lst of June l sailed from
Port Antonio, in Jamaica, for Norfolk,
with cargo Of 67 puncheons of Rum.
On the Is, being almost 7 leagues 5. s.
4. OF Currlentes, was brought to by a
schooner French privateer or pirate,
called the Revenge, one Paul Ribie,
commander Of a motley crew Of French,
Spaniards and Italians. They took
possession of the brig Sumner, and
brought herto an anchor off Point Phil
ippia in Cuba. where | fround the sloop
Catherine-ElizA Of Newyork, which
these pirates had previously taken, and
there anchored.
On the morning Of the 27th they got
the sIoop and brig under weigh and run
them into Philippia Bay. They took
out of the sloop forty-one punCheons
Of Rum, which they put on board the
Summer. They robbed the subscriber
and his crew, the captain of the Gather
lne-EliZa, her crew and some passen-
gers, Of their watches and clothes,
leaving Us nearly naked. They then
put us all on board the sloop, without
the necessary stores Of provisions OF
water, and ordered us TO make the best
Of our way to America we were fortu-
nate enough to get safe to Newyork
The Sumner came out Of Philippi Bay,
with the pivatcer and the sloop, but
what has become Of her and cargo |
know not, but do suppose they went
with her to Batabano Bay. They
kept all the briggs papers, and my own
papers and accounts, with which they
viii endeayor to impose on some one.
