MORE BRITISH " PROTECTI-

The sloop George, Captain Nichols,
arrived here on Thursday evening
from Charleston, when off Long Is
land, on Sunday last, was boarded by
a BRITISH PRESS GANG, who
impressed Gideon Caprop, native Of
East Greenwich, about rs wears old.
The Lieutenant who commanded the
Robbers, refused to give capt. N. a.
ny information r specting the frigate
or its officers but Informed him they
.tre determined TO impress Ameri-
cans until they had obtained their COM
peteBt number of men, aud that they
had impressed two the day before.
Thus has promising Young man been
torn from his CONVICTIONS and depo-
sited in one Of the floating Hells Of
Britain, as propitiatory Offering 70 the
grim monarch of the ocean; while a
party in this country are chanting in
syren strains" England has done us

and was accustomc to regard his
conquests as his patrimony.
Hannibal and Scipio encountered one
another at lama, on the Carthigeniap
territory; and these two celebrated
heroes decided in single day the
destinles of the two most powerful ma
tons Of the world. Hannibal was
vanquished, although. according to the
testimony of his antagonist, he surpas-
sed his former actions in this unfor-
tunate battle. Scipio obtained COM
plete victory (; and from that day Rome
knew no rival in the universe. Ham
nibal eventually became solitary
wanderer in foreign countries, his name
and his genius terror to the Romans
till wearied with nisfortunes, he put
q period to his exis.ence by dose of
poison, which he carried about him,

You sometimes publish letter

days ago. or these enough might be
furnished to make a part of yoar pa.

ances to which a citizen is exposed,
as soon as he lifts his foot ffoG the
American shore, there are some of
peculiar aggravaiion, as the feelings
of every one will testify on the relati-
on. The two papers handed herewith,

and the persons implicated.

NO. vi.
FROM THE sALfM GAZETTE.

Fellow. Citizens, Some unexpected avo-
cations have prevented SO early continual
ton of my addresses as had contc mplated.
now resume the consideration Of the sub
jects which proposed to discuss. Ia my
second number, in stating the most promi.
nent, l glanced at the evils with which for
some wears our country has been afflicted
evils from which you have long been ANU
sed with hopes of relief; bat which res
main undated; or rather have become
more aggravated. Are they remedies !
trust not: for the remedy is in YOUR own
hands.-But to apply it with effect, you
must know their cause. To this also have
adverted; viewing those evils as original
ing chiefly in the uDprincipled ambition ola
few men, with Mr.. Jefferson at their head.
1t is necessary, that you should understand
his character, in order rightly te estimate
his public measures, into an appreciation OF
which great portion of the citizens ofths
United States have been beguiled.
THOMAS JEFFERSON.
When Mr.. Je.Teraon entered on the Pre-
sidenCy of the United States, be found
them, by his own confession, sin the full
tide ofsuccessful experiment And you
all know, that while the government was in
his hands, this tide of national prosperity
ahated; and towards tie close OF his presi-
dency, and in the two years which have
followed under bis successor pursuing the
same system) i; has fallen to the lowest
ebb. Such is the facs. The principal
cause will be found in Mr.. JeHerson's ill-
judged aud deceitful policy; in which we
arc to expect no VOLUNTARY change under
Mr.. Madison, whose cordial cooperation
with his predecessor, was pledge Mr..
J Jefferson said) that he would persevere IN
the same 81 stem.
| had contemplated giving detail, in
the order in which they took place, of the
principal acts $50 far as known to me) OF
Mr.. Jeaersen's public life on which might
be formed just estimate of his merit and
