The enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1804-1815, 1809-08-29
BRITISH SPIES,

ms the pubic have been frequently ihfOr-
'neo OF the employment of agents by the
government of England, in the United States !;
ana It is oten difficult to bring authentic
proofs of 1t; we think it fit, at tins moment,
when book has been Just issued from the
press, at New York work so fiagitious,
that the printer has not had audacity to put
ms name to it we think it proper to give
Br7ffsh evidence, TO shew that what we have
alledged against the writer Of that book, is
matter of legal proof
In this paper, several years ago. we point
ed out STEPHEN CULLEN, in the person who
established paper at Charleston, 5. Carroll
ma, called the Courier. We pointed him out
as going to Charleston under the patronage
ana influence OF the late general -Hiefander
Hamilton
We pointed him out as an emissary and
eu!oglst OF the British government, and an
| enemy to this.
In q week after we discovered him, we
addressed letter to the executive of the u.
States, apprising the government of the cha
racter OF this emissary; and of his being
about TO go to Washington city.
we pointed him out as :: 1iagnaSter i'm the
British army, station which is, in fact, a
sinecnTe TO him, So the duties are performed
by another person.
That STEPHEN CULLEN was forced, by
our detection and exposition of his infamous
character, to quit Charleston. and he fled 70
New York; there ne established newspa-
pei, which he called the PEOPLE FRIEND :;
there he leagued and associate d with COLE
MAN and CHEETHAM and We predicted
that Chretham would speedily come out as
openly against Mr.. Jefferson, and in favor
OF England, and her atrocous policy, as did
Cullen, the paymaster OF the invalds at
| Guernsey
| From New York public contempt finally
expelled STEPHEN CULLEN, andhe became
vagaboDd and a wanderer; but he took
root Tor the moment, in that congenial spot,
in Connecticut. where JOe Ihonlas who led
the bands OF terror, in 1897 i'm this city, had
taken refuge; how Cnhen came to leave, or
whether he was loathed out of Connecticut,
Is not at present known; but since May last,
he has resided near Bruins nick in Jersey
where he mas t7vo conSentat friends, whom
we shall bring before The public at a suitable
occasion.
| C"Aen, the invalid paymaster, was in this
city five days ago; but lie has disappeared,
! perhaps concealed himself from the .Aneri-
can manufcctures that 7oere hrckGred for
him, and which assuredy he will be orna-
Inented with whenever he shall be found in
this city.
That our readers may know where TO find
British authority for the identity of this
paymaster of the British invalids at Guern-
! sey, we refer them to "A book of authority,
which is in every library, the English .Neao
AnaudI Register, for the year 1SOI.
| In that work if the reader will lool. to the
