Good Effects Of an +" Unhcy Nar."

Speaking Of the arrival Of tho British Cur.
tel ship MAZDA, at New-YoIk, some time
since, from London with 100 AmeIisan
Seamsn released from British ships Of war,
the Baltimore Patriot says:-
This is one, and not the most trivial Of the

part Of the federalists will now say upon this
subject. For long time they (,he Essex

ture Of Msssachuse,s, whose duty it vas to
ascertain the number OF citizens oil that state
who were thus situated. II our memory
does no, fail US, that committee reported tho
cases Of some Is or 20 individuals who bad
been impressed-and as Massachusetts had
srroga,ed to herself at least one third (pe,-
haps more) OF the sesmen of the United
States, an inference was d. avn, that the mum.
Der actually impressed fell far short Of the
number stated by the general government.
An enquiry now occurs, il Massachus
was correct in her report, whence came tho
szuo nousoud seamen who were released dur
and confined most inhumsnly and contrary 10
all law, in Dartmoor prison oione2 Whence
came the one hundred who very lsteIy arrived
at New-York How many we're there con-
fined in other depots How many are still
detained on board British ships! We would
alss ask, how many Americans citizens were
discharged before the late war and whence
comes it, ,hs, so many have been discharged
during and since tho war Will the violently

ed to be at New London when Com. Decatur
came into port with his prize the Macedonian
Tho crew Of which be then had on board
the UGi,ed States. Al tho; time the follow
r ing cirenmstances were related TO him :--
While the Macedonian was building in the
River Thames, a short time previous TO the
lale war, Gen. Williams, Of Norwich, (Con.)
was in Englsnd, and was invited among other
Americans then there, TO go and see The Mac.
edonian launched. He attended, ip company
with Capt. Garden, who had already been Sc
lected a. com mander of the new frigate.
At that time much was said BY Capt. Car.
den 20 the Americans concerning the excel
lent construction of his ship and the SUPER
ior state, in which he intended she should be
hnlshsd.
About q year afterwards it happened ,ha.
Gen. Williams was q, Lisbon while the Mace
, donian was there, aud was invited By Capt
Garden to go on board his friga,s, which he
said was in complete order, and had the finest
crew in the British Navy. While on board,
the commander took OCCASION to speak in the
highest terms Of his ship, and made some
comparisons between the Mace donian and
the ftiga,cs OF the y. States, very unfavorsble
to our Navy, and turning to the General

General, "but am induced 10 believe there

compose the American Navy" " Poor calico
things" replied Garden, 81 was out q few
months since to America where l saw your

compared, sir, with The Macedonian" That
may be-" replied the General, "but as the
relations between our two countries are very
much unsettled, some Of your friga,es may
have an opportunity Of comparing themselves
side and side, with the United States"
Immediately on receiving tho news Of the
capture and arrival of the Macedonian, Gen
eral Williams hasted to New-London, TO pay
his com Plimsots to Capt Cai den, then pris-
oner on board the same ship which he had
affected TO despise. The meeting was such
as might have been expected-Capt. Garden
was much more disposed to talk of the favor
OF the wine, the hospitality Of Americans, &c.
than to compare the British and American
friga,cs.-Ghsoner.
