" Six :eamen of the Nautilus, suhhosed by
the British officer to be British subjects, were
sent to England for trial, and .fve Of the six
were examined, and arrived here in the Agnes
cartel. The sixth was detained for further
evidence ofhis being am American. Upon
this iyrannical conduct, Commodore Rodgers
detained twelve British prisoners ae hostages,
ten OF whom have now been discharged"
The above is from Federal paper. On
which wc would re mark, that Commodore Rod
gers was most outragcously condemned by
the Boston Re6ci, and other rcontemptible scrib-
blers, for his conduct. The consequences
have proved that Commodore Rodgers Is the
friend Of the oppressed sailors, while the tor
les ave their most unfceling enemies.
But here comes the serious question, Hon
are svr 20 recon,fcrce these foe innocent A'ae.

TO England their time, their hcalth, their
feelings, End .he distress and anxiety OF their
iamily and connexions are not trivial things,
Unless with those unfee!ing Fcdcralis;s who
consider a sailor as they do ;ruck.horse, no
otherwise valuable than as he brings them
goods and bears thcir burdens. Thus we SEQ
that while the feelings Of the officers are wouo-
ded by Quincy and the Senate, the captivity
md misery OF the common men are cons..ler-
I'd too trivial for moments thought. The
officers and the crews Of our men Of war, will
find that the revilcrs Of our Administration,

from Muiot Crutrhiicld, The follovibg min
Ute and satisfactory detail oe the operations
in the late attack Of the British on Hampton.
While We contemplate the overwhelming

York County, HaLf soay doHse,
yisne 28th, 1913. )
SIR-AithouSh have given you, by two
communications, a partial account Of the en-
gsgement with the enemy a, Hampton, on
the 25th inst. viii now, having it in my
power, beg leave to communicate 10 your cx-
ccllency a detail OF the occuranccs OF the day.
Al an early hour in the morning of the 25lh
inst. our Mill-creek patrolc cave iniormation,
sbat from thirty 10 forty British barges filed
with men, were approaching the mouth OF
Hampton creek, by The inner channel, from
the direction Of New port Moose. Our troops
were Immediately formed on their cocamp-
mep., on Little England plantation, south
west of and divided from Hampton 5y a mar
row creek, over which q Sigh, foot bridge
had been ercc,ed.--l0 very short time after,
our Celey's patrole reported the landing and
approach Of number of the encmy's troops
in our rear. A little after FIVE o'clock, sew
cral barges were seen approaching Black
Boards point, the headmost Of which cosl-
meneed firing Of round shot which was i'm
mediately returned from our battery Of four
long twelve FOUNDERS The enemy, mimi
dated by the quick and direct FIRE Of our cam
non, drew back and sheltered himself behind
the point I; and from thence continued 10
throw his round twelve and eighteen pound
shot, accompanied by a large number OF
rockets, charged with combuslibc matter,
which, with very few exceptions, and those
without injurious effect upon our detachment
or encxmpmcDt either fell short oi, or over
reached their object.--Fo- the space oil three
quarters Of an hour or more, during which
time an exchange of discharges took place
without the eoemy's doing any damage (; our
infantry troops we're posted under cover OF a
high ditch, Immediately in front Of our camp.
During this period, many rockets aud large
shot fell within the encsmprneDt. Al this
ii:nc ouI .iac sorrsn-s Nh.ch, vron ~ ear
