Times pasF.-A few years ago, the cap-
ture of three or four American vessels by
the Atgersnes, and the enslaving Of their
crews, was sufficient to excite the feelings
of every ery;'-man In the United States. Our
newspapers groaned with the recital of the
suferings of American citizens, but then

the robbery and plumber committed BY tbs.

were in their vigor, active exertions were
made TO protect commerce, and to replsn-i

of their crews, by the French, is scarcek'
sufficient to move muscle Of the body pc

the spirit of departed American honor and
courage, but it is almost in vain--one 60

chandize-and there are many French
newspapers, which endeavor by every wils
aud stratagem, to yindicate, either directly
or indirectly, the unparalleled robbery and
outrages committed by the French Dey.--
