PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 7.-When the
outrages perpetrated by brutal foldiery
on the unfortunates of Hampton, became
known, publick and virtuous Indignation
was loud and vehement. Shall our com
miieration be excited only for ourfelves !
Shall we not weep for the fuiferings of
the innocent and unarmed, wherever
they be found
The inhuman monitors, who defola-
ted Hampton, we truit will yet be
brought to jultice land we alto hope
that thofc who defolated the little Britlfh
town of Dover, will be made to atone for
their cruelty.
