Hintt on Enlistment and Retaliation.

You, who may be about to enter
INTO the fervice of your country,
whether to brave the cannon of the
enemy in the tented field, or to con-
duct the proud thip over the Atlantic
main-permit me to claim your feri.
Gus attention for a moment, TO exam-
Inc the prefent fyitem of Retaliation,
which threatens to involve hundreds
of families in diltrefs, and dcluge
your unhappy county with the blood
of the innocent.
Undoubtedly you will recollea.
that near the commencement of the
prefent War, twenty three prifoners,
who were taken by the Britiih, were
fent to England. there to be tried as
traitors 1t being alledged land with
how much truth l know not, that
they were by birth fubjeds to the
crown Of the United Kingdom of
Creat-Britsin and Ireland.
Whether this be true or not, i. to
be decided by a jury of Englifhmen.
In confequence of this ftep of the
government of Great Britain, an e.
quail number of Engliih prifoners
were Immediately committed to clofe
confinement in the United States
This conduct of our administration,
which was conGdered in England con-
trary to the mode of honorable war
fare, 70 exafperated the enemy, that
twice the original number, forty fix,
were imprifoned, as hofages for, and
TO fhare the fate of thofc impriioned
by this government.
This fyftem has been carried on
until at length the lives of one hun
dred and thirty eight Of your unof-
Tending fellow. citizens depend upon
the fate of twenty three individuals,
who are fuppofed to be runaway
Englifh and Irifhmen.--And if it be
continued. at the next itep the lives
OF one hundred and eighty-four more
will be jeopardized-and 70 on pro-
grefIively.
Ponder well this fubj Ct, my fellow
citizens, and conGder, whether you
are willing TO run voluntarily into a
fnare, into which 70 many of your
countrymen have been Satty betrayed!
And whether you are not entitled to
receive that protection, after having
once entitled under the banner OF
your country, which is your right as
failors and folder.
In the Prefent fate Of things you
are liable, whether taken in equal or
unequal combat, to be made to an
fwer With your Evss for the rafhpefs
of your rulers
Thus, you fee, even after having
braved the lannon's mouth, if you ef-
cape with life, you are not fecure.--
This you may at hrR thought, fup.
poie to be owing to the barbarity of
your enemies. But remember, that
the traitor in every nation is fubjed
to anfwer for his crime againlt his
country soitb bis bl5oa. This is fup-
pofed to be the Gtualion of the twen-
ty three aforementioned and If
guilty, they cannot expect the fame
lenity to be fhewn towards them
which awaits the priioners OF war.
Even, il you cannot, without the
r,moa difficulty, obtain bread to fat
isfy the calls of hunger, or if northern
blaft fall heavily on your defencelefs
heads, is no, this better than to rifk
your lives for country which has
not fufficient gratitude to refeue you

The murder of two infant children os her
master and mistress is her crime. In her the

iirst attempt seems to have been on the Young

false story that the child was diving with a
lit or some strange sickness The child.

recovery few days afterwards sue gave
the alarm to her mistress, ard was the first
bearer OF the intelligence that the oldest
child, a daughter, had fallen from fence &
greatly injured herself Thechild was taken
up and survived some DAYS. Its scull was
fractured, and surgical skin was applied. at
hfst wlth some appearance Of success but
TINS at last proved abortive. Previous, how
ever, to the death of this child, the second, a
son, was discovered, thrown into a hog trough,
as II tallen there by accident The sculi was
fractured and the head slccLingly mangIed.
Under all the efforts of the surgeon, # survived
only few hours. All this passed without ex-
citing the suspicious of her master and mistress
But ssultul neighbour discovered the murder

haT OF the child stll adherlng to it. On be-
ing accused of the deed, without punishment or
torture, she confessed her guilt as above de-
tailed. She pointed out the place where she
had given the fatal blow to The last child be-
fore she Cast 1t into the hog trough and ac-
corlingly blood was found there as She had
told and the axe appeared to fit the wound
inflicted on both OF the little innucents, whose
lives size took away
The miserable Culprit was cast into ial. &

vlcted OF the murder of the two Children above
