DESERTERS


1t Will be at once reCollecte without the
trouble of entering into particulars, that the
present administration was much abused by
ceYtain party-writers, for not delivering up
to the British when demanded, those deser-
tcrs for the recovery of whom the attack on
the Chesapeak was made by the frigatc Leo
pard. 1t will also be remembered, that those
deserters claimed to be Americans citizens,
and as such demanded the protection of their
government; that the administration enter
ed into strict enquiry as to the justice of
their claim for its interference in their be-
half; and EXPRESSED its willingness, in case
they were asce rtained to be impostors, TO
render every satisfaction proper i'll the case
10 the English government. 1t will not be
forgotten either, that much odium was at
tempted to be thrown upon the administra-
ton for supporting the pretensions Of those
men, IN the first instance, on their own de-
ciaration; and fictitious instances were cit
ed, wherein British officers had promptly
surrendered American deserters on the first
demand for them. AS conclusive reply to
ali these charges and insinuations, offer the
following documents. They exhibit a case
directly under the eyes of the lords Of the
admiralty, sanctioned by their official man
date. -Four men, who had regularly entered

The Honorable RSMIrH;
~. SIR-In compliance with yours of the
25th of November, / have the honor to ac-
quaint you with the. circumstances relative
tolthe deserters from the u. S. ship Wasp,
under my command. On the 29th OF July
last, when watering at East Cowes, four men
effected theif escape from the officer in
charge;of the party. Every measure was
taken tor their apprehension, but nothing
could be heard of them through the island.
On the day subsequent, as going to Ports
mouth through Rydc. l was informed that
John Bond aud Thomas Jones, two of the de-
serters, were at that moment in the posses
sion OF the officer charged with the impress
service at the latter place.
Having occasion to wait on rear-admiraI
Coffin the same day, ] made a personal APP
piication 'for the Within named, then subie ct
tonis oider--tte informed me that he would
immediately make arrangements for their
delivery OH board the Wasp; but seeing him
4 few hours after, he regretted that they had
been taken from Ryde on board the ROYAL
William, the then guard ship at Spithead,
precluded the possibility of delivering them
up without the concurrence of the lords of
the admiralty; andthat immediate. commu-
nlcation should be made to them ON. the sub
Ject; and the day but one following he would
furnish me with their,reply.
On the 31st weighed for sea, and as pass

I Another of the Yorkshire district meet
ings, making the eighth, was last week held
at Puasey, tor the purpose OF taking into con-
sideration the propr,ety Of petitioning for
peace, when the expedience and necessity OF
peutions were unanimously admitted, and a
numbero resolutions entered into.
1t has always been the policy of the design
ing partizans of administration, to represent
= use who disapprove the measures OF minis
ters as the enemies to their country. The
opposcrs of the American war were all, in
their estimation, disaffested men. The adj
vocates for peace, in the last war, were, with
out discrimination, ALI jacobins, and few
hery jealous are now lubouring to produce
divisions and suspicion in the country by rails
ing similar cry against the friends Of peace.
But the time for playing off this sta c trick is
passed like one OF the old naneuyres prac-
tised by sharpers, it has been worn thread
bare, and the deception is described through
It's fcttered, covering. 1t. will Soon be seen
who are the real enemies OF their country
watcher the men who support measures
which add every month. nay almost every
week, another to the catalogue Of our alrea-
dy numerous and formidable enemies or
those who Wish ito put a, stop to the miseries
and ruin Of war. There is only one way, eli,
thcr or obtaininga peace, or of calling into
action the copyrighted energies of the co,in-
try and that's by petitions to the throne for
peace; and yet the shallow pretenders to
exclusive loyalty oppose petitioning by all the
little articles in their power.
