pressed from the ship Virginia. by an En-

the public mind, that such vague publica-

that my crew consisted mostly of English sea
men, who had been in prison at Brada for
some considerable time-who formerly be-
longed to the English frisate Flora, which
was wrecked on the coast Of Holland; and
by the influence OF our consul, Mr.. Bourne, /
got them from prison, as also as many as
manned four other vessels belonging to the

from ADM. Parker's ship, three of the said
seamen claimed his protection.
