We caEnot too often call the atten.
ton OF our readers to the wretched sit
uation of their fellow-ci,izens, who are
dragging out miserable existence in
French prisons, where they are im-
INJURED as prisoners o, zpar by the tyran-
ny and cruelty OF MIR. Jeherson's very
good friend and dear ally, Bonaparte.
For the honor OF the American govern
ment We will hope these men are not
sacrificed TO motives of national policy,
but there is something mysterious IN
their being neglected so long. Every
democratic paper is as silent as the
grave respecting the injuries which
are daily exercised towards the citizens
OF the u. States by theseI marauders /;
while every circumstance of mlscon-
duct or the part of England, is exag-
gerated and misrepresented in every
possible manner.--Until It's proce.
dure is corrected We must expect to be
involved in continual btoils and alter.
cations with the powers of Europe.
Let the American government pursue
independent and energetic measures,
and the people will not hesitate to yield
their undivided support ED. GAz.
