"False patriotism produced the American revou
lion. The madcsps, who were most instrumental
in iomeniing Il, came OFF shabby enough at last.
Some lost their lives, others their property, others
their health and limbs, and cripples and nvalds
to this day. Had they wisely remained in their
chimney corners like myself, and few others
could mention, they would have saved LIE, property
and limbs; and would at this moment have found
themselves in comfortable circumstances, instead Of
poverty, misery and rags"

What was he to have done WAS he
to decide, with these documents, against
Gen. w. {, This would have been to have
acted on an cTharte statement--the other
iide not fully heard Was ne or the o.
iher hand, to have decided in favor
of Gen. w in opposition TO these documents ?
This would have been to have let in the
unsworn evidence of the party. (whom the
Fl. OF X. had arraigued) without the ne
cessary Formally.
Placed in this aux ward situation, what
could he do, bat refer the subject to a tor
NAL tribunal framed agreeabIy to the arti
Giles oil var! A General Court Martial,
will hear both sides of the evidence--tner
proceedings will be laid before him-and
he may carry their sentence into execu

IMPARTIALITY,
MR.. L'ESCALIER, &c,

The Orders i'll Council begin to press on
us. with a very heavy hand-In what we
have seen for the last two months, we
have sample ofthe interruptions & wrongs
we shall have to sustain, in our intercourse
with France -.+
The ocean is almost lined with British
privateers-the chance is against our YES =
seis arriving safe--saveraI that were bound
to or from the French ports, have been
lately captured and carried into C. Bril-
tam. Is this conduct 20 be borne with.
The case of the Anne-in- Bloom brings a
new Case to our consideration. In that
vessel, Mr. L'Escaler, the French Consul
General has been taken--he is carried into
England. Will they so far transgress
the law of nations as to keep him a prisoner
OF war? Under that law, n 'erson what
sovsr, except he be in the military service
OF an enemy, can be taken from neutral
vessel---tor this exception may come IN I'M
der the rule of contrabaDd. Yet Mr. LIE.
was not 10 the military service of France
ne was IN civil. diplomatic line. Should
g. b. therefore, detain him. SIN all we no, be
bound to re claim him MIR. LIE. may
nave been coming TO us, cha ged with des
patches OF great moment-the peace and
amity of the two ma ions may have hung up
on them. Considerations of this sort do
not AT all serve TO reconcile us to the loss
OF our ships or the vexations of our COM
merCe.
