A FINE PROSPECT
| These thee dayspast we have enjoyed a
sight which ought to enrapture the bosom OF
every American. We have beheld sight
which has not grati6ed the patriotic feelings
| ot the citizens OF Charleston, for the last SO
Years. We have seen the American Flag
waving above Sc. Georges Cross. Soon
will the Leviathan OF the deep learn what
| may be expected from free and insuitet d
nation. Should the fleets of Britain bridge
the main, yet she shall not be able to pro-
tect her commerce from the constant and
calling ANNOYANCE of individual adventure.
he two Briggs whie h were brought in by the
Mary Ann privateer were armed vet how
easily did they yield o the we'll directed mus
kerry of handful of gallant Republicans.
In enc month from leaving port, has this
little privateer taken four prizes. Two of
them are now riding in our waters. One
was rified and burnt-the other was let GO,
| as she was not worth possessing. Upon
| whom do the Orders in Council bear the
most heavy! Ask this question six months
hence, and the Merchant of Great Britain
will tell you without difficulty. We shall he
the most destructive enemy that England
has ever had upon that element, where she
is said to reign. Without disputing the pas
sage OF her fleets of the line, we will hang
| upon the Merchantmen and annoy her there.
