The treatment of the Americans at Ma.
plies was of a nature to excite the indigna-
tion OF every man not lost to all sense of
feeling for his countrymen. Not content
with taking vessels and cargoes, they were
infamous enough to take possession of the
lprivate adventures of masters, mates and
even seamen. In many instances, the crews
OF vessels in the harbor were turned out.
without the least notice being given them to
shift for themselves, and not the smallest
allowance granted them to subsist upon.-
lOthcrs, after their cargoes were t. ken from
them and conhsca;ed, were called upon to
pay the charges of landing the goods, as wei
as the quarantine charges; which in seve.
Iral Instances, amounted to nearly s 1000
leach vessel
J And to crown the whole, after repeated
applications from the American consul at
Naples tor liberty to purchase some Of the
vessels to convey the unfortunate sufferers
20 their own Country they had the barbara,
| ~ to refuse eUen selling more than one YES
! sci for that purpoSr, but crCuded into one
| snip, like so many c0nvlcts upwards of 200
masters. supercargoes, mates and seamen,
who were hurried off by the consul as soou
fas possible, afraid hey would retract even
his tancied indulgence AS a proof of which.
several Of the masters returned home by the
Francis, heard the consul say, after the
snip was under sail from Naples. that the
Minister OF Foreign Affairs, had advised
him, as friend, TO hasten the departure os
the ship, as he could not answer even for
a. hour. And all this after the king of Ma
pies had only short time previous issued
a proclamation, inviting the Americans o
his ports, and promising them safety and
protection.
