the detention of this vessel, that we deem il
prope: to state (and we have it ON authority
which we believe correct) that as she was
yesterday going TO sea, she was boarded by
an officer Oieut Lewis) from the Chesa-
peake, commodore Decatur, and her clear
ancc demanded. The commander replied,
that his vessel was the regular packet, and
that according to custon it was not :,ecessa-
ny to obtain clearance at the custom house.
The officer then called for his credentials,
to prove that his vessel was the regular
paUncr Inns, having Deen refused on the
part of the commander, she was brought to
an anchor near tire frigate. The captain of
the packet, we understand, has been advis-
ed by the British consul to comply with the
requisition, and it is presumed will proceed
on his voyage without further delay

The people of the United States-May their
promptness to resist foreign aggression and in
suit, teach this lesson to the tyrant OF the seas,
that the ocean, the common high way ofnations,
must be made free.
