onsl legisl ture. The court lately conyur..
ed for your trial was of the most honorable.

OF officers in the navy--tl.cir impartiiIity.
candor and deliberate dec sion, have sane
toned the correctness of the charges a
gainst you, SO far as the intention Of ,iosA

derogat0ry IN its nature to the reputation Of

sentence of an official reprinaRd from tn,
secretary of the navy, as the organ Of tie
pres dent OF the United States.
1t is my incumbent duty to censure your

ga nst that olace He was not d sinclinel 10 the
meaS ure; but the necessity of securing his pri-

an expedition, prevented him from indulgine

THIS he had soon cause 10 regret He was in-
formed that upon receiving intelligence Of his
success at Fort st. Vinccnts, the people of De-
troit, and of the c;rcumjacent country, openly
manifested their joy during three whole DAYS, by
every method which social festiSity could devise.
and they so far counted upon Clarke's speedy ar
tival, that the merchants provid d for him and
his men those necessaries and comforts which they
imagined would be wan,ed. The naughty, ca.
PRECIOUS, 'yrannical, and bloody disposition of
the captive Governor had alienated from him G.
very v'rtuous and feeling heart. Most of the in
iaoltants, too, were the descendants Of French
settlers; and the news of the alliance l,sl lust

SO valuable in every respect as the Edin-
