by which redress IF political grievances
is proposed to be effected. In conformity
with previous arrangements, the people as.

has since been raised to SEQ pounds and
years Imprisonment, and for the second
offence, 1000 pounds and two years
ingrisonment. Besides which, there
are heavy penalties on masters CT
ships assisting IN such deduction. But, as
tn the ariihcer or manufacturer himself,
the law iniiicts no punishment, other than
that which may arise from being An alien.
Thus if an arti6cer, or manufacturer,
be seen in any foreign country, in Ameri-
ca. for instance,by on English Ambassador
or Consul, and the Ambassador or Consul
gvdyn hin, to return home, and he do not
return home in six months from the time
of being so warned, then the said artifcer.
or manufacturer, is disabled to hold lands
in this kingdom by descent or by will, he
is incapable of taking any legacy here, and
is deemed an alien. Sn that If any ar;ifcer
or M nuiacturer be in hopes of having a
landed estate by inheritance, or by will, or
be in hopes of having legacy, he runs a
;isk of losing them by emigrating to Anne
rica. That IS the only punishment the law
infficts or him. Indeed,i is impossible to
utilct any other; for, until the man be in
the foreign country, he cannot have com
niitted the offence. The only persons
which the law Furnishes, are the seducers

Yesterday there assembled in the vici-
nifty of this village, a numerous host of In
diars, from the Shawanese, WYandot and
Delaware tribes. The object Of their meet
ing was to have an interview with the a
gent relative to the claims they have assn

dered and losses sustained during the late
war with England--it was also a part of
their object in coming, to meet the Rev.
James Hughes, who was chosen a mission

the secretary OF war to preach them the

upon the iabors of his mission : the scene
was peculiarly intercstirg--to behold such

seated, and reclining on the ground, at
tend in all the poDip AID magnihcence of
exalted barb r,sm, whose faces were smear
ed over with pigments cf every imaginary
hue, and whose heads were e1uiptfed with
feathers, deer's tails and wampNn, was q
sight on which the eye might regale with
pleasing admiration. During the whole
process OF his discourse, the speaker was
regarded with the prot0undest veneration !:
every countenance exhibited grave, seri~

Of each sentence, the chiefs (who had Ia

and at the same time, he, the said officer,
appeared to view with considerable suspi-
cion, the persons Of some Of the crew and
was employed while putting these interro-
gatoris to the master of the Ranger in
noting dowa the replies that were made to
him. When the examination. had been ac-
camplished by the osicer who boarded the
Ranger, he WAS asked what vessel he COM
manded, to which he replied, "the Iectlm
seh.' He was then asked where he was
fuom-he answered +" from Fort Erie."-
he was further asked who fired from the
point--he answered nobody but some
Indians" When the latter question was
put to him, the said officer, he Immediate
ly leaped into his boat and made for his
vessel. When the deponent arrived at AM
herstburgh, he enquired who commanded
the Tecumseh, and was informed that it
was 1t. Kent. The deponent, as well
as the whole crew of the Ranger, conceived
the conduct of Lit. Kent to amount to a
complete search, and will ever view it as
an insult to the American character and
fsg:,
The deponent further saith. that he be-
lieves the firing that was heard proceeded
from the crew of the boat of the Tecum-
sch, which departed from the point imme-
diateiy after the last firing was heartl-and
that he believes there were no Indians on
the Island, unless they had been landed
from on board the Tecumseh, as there
were no crafts to be discovered about the
Island, except the aforesaid Tecumseh and
her boat.

her conversation about Carson, Smith, BIC.

got abroad, led TO suspicion that these
people were not what they pretended to be.
and that Miss Jones was no other than
Mrs. Carson herself, altho' she frequently
spoke of Mrs. Smith as third person. and
even went so far as to declare that if she
we're Mrs. Smith. she would have taken
such measures as would have prevented
the possibility of the Governors having
signed the Warrent, &c. Suspicion being
once excited, the strangers, who appeared
to be acute and cunning observers Of all
that passed, took the alarm, and said, that
having failed in their object. they should
go that night. Friday, as far as Middetown,
on their return to Philadelphia. They &C
cordinsly set out, bat instead Of going to-
ward the city, they went up toward Selin's
