NEW BEDFORD, SEPT. /.

Almof every day brings frefh in
telligence Of the barbarous conduct
of the French towards American
citizens and we are extremely for
ry to ado, that thefe encrmities, as
often as they are repeated, are de-
Tended, or at leaft palliated by men
in our own country; and what is
more itrange, by nafip. Amerieans.
While any, the very 0ighteit depar-
ture from the line Of reetitude by
the Britifh, is Immediately eau ht
hold of, and by the help of demo-
cratic mierofcopes, magnifec, until
il is turned into bug bear TO fright
en- all the men, women and children
out of their ienfes. the Emperor Ma
poleon is permitted to proceed in his
gsod2y work of /" ameliorating our
condition" by burning our .fhps, ia
hing tlom them american citizens, and
eonfnMg them in bis Internal prilmS,
without even the faintef thew of re-
monitrance on our part. Nay, things
are arrived to fnch a pitch of degre-
dation, that if we fhould pretend to
d5ubt the right of Napoleon Bona
parte to inaid upon US all thefe evils
it IS ten to one, if fomc goad jacobin
/. is not at nand to accufe us of being
corrupted by "Britiih guineas." But,
fellow citizens, how long will you
be thus deaf to the representations of
French barbarity, which almof eve
~ arrival in the United States only
tends to confirm and corroborate be-
yound doubt
Since our lat, Mr.. Charles Gilbert,
mate Of the brig Lucy, (which was
taken by French privatecr, and af-
forwards retaken by the Englifh brig
Scorpion,) arrived in this town, and
informs us, that he, together with
the other four men taken from the
Lucy, were carried to Baileterre,
!
which place they reached on the 10Th
July. The captain of the privateer
conducted them to the commandan,
! of the iiland, for the purpofe, as Mr.
Gilbert fuppofed, of obtaining fol
then pas to leave the iiland; bul
inftead of obtaining one, their names
were ali Immediately regiitered, ane
Ihemlelves ordered to priion. Or
the 23d, by the kindly interference
of an American gentleman they were
allowed the privilege Of trial. By
this trial, they were fairly acquitted
and one would fuppoie would have
Portland gazette and Maine advertiser., 1809-09-11

been releafed, and lufered TO return
home. But no as if to add iniult
to injury, they were itri6tly comman
dsd not to leave the place. Mr..
Gilbert, af.er frveral unfuccefsful at
tempts, at lait fUcceeded in getting
on board veflcl bound to ST. Bar
tholomews from which place he took
pallage in the feb EnterPriie for
New York.
While Mr.. Gilbert remained at
ST. Bartholomew, two OF the feamen
taken from the Lucy, viz. Dean Lake
and Barnabas Giants, arrived there,
but were unable to obtain a pahage
for the United States. Ira Hopkins
and Abel DeDns itillremained at Baf-
feterre.
While in prifon their allowance
was the feanry pittance Of fve ounces
of the very WORT kind of meat, and
not unfrequently little elfe than the
bones Of a hogs head. The reGdue
Of their allowance was only J ounces
Of bread.
There were in prifon about goo
perions, among whom were about
fifteen native Americans. Among
the prifoners were women and chill
dren, who were treated, Mr.. Gilbert
informs US, in the mott fhameful and
brutal manner poiTble. The cries
of an infant were Glenced by an un.
merciful beating, that would have
difgraced even favages.
