BADGES Times, OF the 24th and 21tn OF Octo-
Der which contains an article in relation to
the unprincipled conduct Of captain Whitney,
Of the American cartel brig Perseverance
The attention Of government ought TO be
called ~ such shamei,u abuses, practissc by
men calling themselves Americans, under
the sacred character of n flag OF truce.
An Antigua paper of the 9Th of November,
mentions the arrival of Admiral Sir Alexan-
der Cochrane, in the Tonnant, at Basseterre,
Guadaloupe, he being appointed to deliver
that Island and Martinique to the French
commissioners, who ARE now there with
troops to take possession thereof. These ISL
ands were to be given up about the sth of No
veiuber.
ST. Thomas is about to be given up to the
Danes, commissioners TOR that purpose having

american cartel brig peyseUerance.-On
Thursday last, the cartel brig Persever-
ance, capt. Whitney, which arrived at this
por; some time Since from Philadelphia, got
under way suddenly, and sailed, leaving all
her passengers behind. Several boats put Off
10 overtalse i.sr, hut the master Of the brig it
seems, refused TO heave to, to permit them a
longside. The reason for this disgraceful
and inhuman behaviour is stated TO have
risen from fear OF seizure in consequence of
his having been concerned in smuggling and
other shameful violations Of the honorable
neutrality Of a flag of truce. The Flying
Eish schooner was the same evening sent IN
pursuit of the said cartel-and from the cap+
tains having disgracefuily run away with the
brig and property on board, and left his un-
fortunate countrymcn behind in distress, we
that punishment which his conduct SO highly
merits. If the Adnirai's tender is so fortu-
nate as to fall in with her, she will proba
bly, be taken into Antigua for examination.
