PRIYITEER RS.

Whatever the English navy may have been
in past, IL is now great body of active pri-
vaieers. 1t wages war, no: on nations, prin-
ciples, nor on public property, but on the prl.
vatc fortunes OF men VINO are honestly and
peacefully sailing OH the ocean and it has
grown rich by species of plunder which is
the most cruel and nhuman e fleet of war.
Men who feel SO very much concerned to
hear of the fitting out OF American priyatecrs,
should ask themselves wha, now is the char
acter OF tho British navy, and what has been
It's conduct for many years towards the Amcri-
can commere ? Their gun-brigs, sloors OF
war and flgates are necessarily engaged in
piundering. And if privateersmen are to be
styled a." robbers and buccaneers, then the
terms are Justly applied TO his ma lesty, the
priace regent, and their admirals. By what
have the American vessels been captured for
these ten years past Not by private armed
vessels, but by kings ships. They have so
completely monopoized the trade, and venture
in it SO much Iargcr capital, that there is little
room for a private English adyenturer.--Tho
KING and the REGENT are the greatest hri-
valecrSmen the svorld eUer kaesv A harsher
spithet might perhaps be with prepricty ap.
piled for The difference between their con-
duct, and that of pirates is more in form than
in the want OF any base or unprincipled fca.
ture of character. But we make these re-
marks in order TO expose the British attach
meRs of those men who see the EngHsh navy,
capturing our detenceess merchantmen,
and imprisoning our sailors, and find in such
conduct nothing but no6ieress ara courage,
and yet disc ountenanc retaliation by our pyi-
va,e armed ships as dishonorable, unjust and
immoral
What difference does il make, whether an
armed vessel is owned by private merchant
or by the government Both are authorized
aud commissioned by the same power both
pursue the same object both Use the same
means both are governed b. the same princi.
pies both are equally sanctioned by the laws
OF nations ; both are equally sanctioned by
EngfSh practice, which with some men is e.
quail to law and gospel too.
The opposition TO privatecrng is in unison
with all other plans to let Great Britain bea,
us. The faction are willing to bring us 10 her
feet and the more they can weaken our means
ol defence, and diminish our opposition, the
sooner will they succeed.
Americans would be Williams TO let the oc can
be always at peace, and never to have hos
tile gun fired upon it but the English gov
eminent, aud their friends in .fmrrtca would
never consent to an arrangement that would
restore the commerce Of the world.-ieia.

Boy, of the 81 ult printed at Warren, An article on
the subject of the Mitaly Review, at that place, on
tn, 2ylh Sept. III which reflection, that think
totally undeselv,d was cast on the official duty Of
the Brigade Inspector. The writer says, the H.
specior Gene al meaning the Brigade Major,] is to
be ccnsured nothing but inspecting too close"
AT the presen, Alarming CRISIS, think, the duty Of
Brigade Majors cannot be too vigorously eniorG.
ed. Besides # We look at the exact situation of the
present case we snail find, that the Brigade Major
not only did 40 il.s duty, but is 10 be commended
tor the imp.tiaty of hIs conduct The guns marked
U. s. and condemned by him, were p; previously exam-
med by the Inspector appointed by the United
STAKES, and were ny him condemned Nov, this be.
ing the case, ask any candid man whether the Br-
gade Inspector would have done his duty, had he
approved guns, which were co~dsmned by higher
authority AS before remarked, at time, like tho
present, those officers appointed 10 the duty of ex-
amining guns, &c. ought to be extremely vgant in
the discharge OF their duty, as every thing depends
upon the promputude and ia,tAtuness of this officer.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.

Among the candidates for the Office Of E.
lectors of President, sc. we observe on the
Republican lists the names of the venerable
JOHN ADAMS, of Massachusetts, CHARLES
THoMPsoN, OF Pennsylvania, and john LANG
DON, of NewHampshire. How pleasing
must be the reflections of Mr.. MADISON, TO
find his conduct approved and supported by
such renowned Patriots-and how uDspeaka-
bly, mcr,ifying TO the ambitious views of Mr..
Clinton, must il be, to behold The patriotic
coadjutors Of his illustrioas uncle and father
arraycd in the ranks against him, and empha,-
icaly pronouncing, by their votes, the SEN
teuce Of his condemnation.
What must be the principles Of n man, who, like
De Witt Clinton suffers himself to be supported BIZ
a party, which he himself thinks SO base and abar-
doned- and which, in his opinion is bent upon the
destruction OF tho Republican institutions of our
country. The federal party have ayowe,lly other
object than 10 fonent divisions among the Republic
can ranks, and for this purpose have made tool Of
Nc. Clinton to effect their nefarious views. 1t is
base, 1t is dshonorable in the extreme for Mr..
Clinton thus 10 lend helping hand to raise the hopes
of faction which would sacrifice the best interests
