NORFOLK January I.

1t was net our intention TO have MOTTO
ed a Circumstance Of some embarrass.
ment inregard to Mr.. Rose, the British
envoy, but IS we find impressions have
been made, which inthe present moment
excite unnecessary alarm, we deem it our
duty 20 state what has occurred, as TAR as
we are informed.
On the arrival Of the Statira, the Brit
%ish consul addressed letters to the collec.
tor OF this port, the naval and civil au-
thorities, informing them of the arrival
of this ship, and that Mr.. Rose the envoy
extraordinary from Great Britain was on
board, desiring to know ifthis ship would
be received in the u S. with the same
hospitality, that the ships of any other
nation ia anity with the u. S. would be
received. Our readers will tecollect
that although the act OF congress and the
Presidents proclamation contain provis-
ons in favor otbrltish ships Of war COM
ing with dispatches, in distress, &c. they
ait nevertheless subjected to some o.
Their regulations as to supplies, stay and
Intercourse. On these latter points ex.
Planatron, we presume, was required.
The collector, whose province it is, an.
swered that every attention in his power,
consistent with his duty, should be shew.
ed to this ship, at the same time that he
was not authorised to make any except.
ons to the Statira particularly. Mr.. Rose
has been we believe perfectly satisfied
~ith the Folttetcss OF the collector and
the other gentleman applied to at the
same time : for reasons that we are not
acquainted with ,he has thought proper to
Ternain on board until advices ore ~receiV-
ed tr9m Washington. This affair which
has ar unpleasant aspect, will be attended
VITA 40 other public Inconvenience than
what may arise from the delay to the mi
Mister at this j~uncture. It is presumed
tAas every difficulty will be removed,
and we have no doubt that the omission
of the government has been accidental.

NORFOLK, january

On Wednesday last a British ship of
var anchored in the bay, which We are
sorry for, and must confess that such a
step is highly impreper:as this moment.
There can be no object in view now, the

fore feel, in common with every Ameri-
can, this act, as an insultupnn the govern
ment Of our country, as the ships not
stated to be in distress.

that government wishes to establish on the
