AMERICAN PRISONERS IN FRANCE


1t appears from paper published at New
York, and of which we published copy some
weeks ago. that there were detained accor-
ding to the paper published. "as prisoners
OF war IN France" number of American
seamen The publication is made upon the
authority OF Mr.. Barnard, American consul
at Havre. That the fact is so, is beyond
doubt; that the persons named are or were
there is unquestionable and upon the pre-
sumption that they were imprisoned without
legal or just cause, without any offence com
mltted by them, but taken through mere en-
nifty or wickedness, the offence would CRY
20 Heaven.
We cannot but remark, however, that al
though the catalogue of American Seamen.
impressed on board British ships of war.
would make small volume, and it occupies
some hundred folio sheets in the department
OF state, we never see word published a.
oout 1t in certain description of prints =
the Gazette United States is silent as the
grave; the New York Evening Post is as
dumb as 1t is totally ignorant of the fact !;

subject; and that galaxy of iniouitv, the
quartetto of Boston Newspapers Palladium
and Gazette, Centinel and Repertory appear
as innocent Ut silence be innocence) of all
knowledge on the subject.
The oumber of Americans impressed into
the British navy have this disadvantage, that
their number is So great, and the casualities
OF death IN bondage or in battle so frequent,
that there can be no uniform ascertainment
OF the exact number. Of those detained in
France (however they came there) we have
not only the names and other particulars,
but we find them not on board ships of war
fighting French battles, but the very places
at which they are detained are mentioned
Thus we hnd that there are the following
