FAVOUR OF inc liberal Diibiic.
His name is GEORGE PRINCE TAMo-
RES. He was found in Charlcstowr,
Mass. in the month of May last in the
family of an officer of the navy. Upon
the application Of certain bcne, client gen
tlemen, he was generously given I'm for
the purpose of being placed with his
countrymcn who were receiving an edu-
catiou in Connecticut.
The following statement is substantial
ly correct, with respect TO the facts which
have been collected concerning this young
man:
George Prince Tamoree is a native of
Aiooi, one of the Sandwich Islands. His
father. Tamorec, is King Of two of those
Islands. George WAS brought 10 Boston
by Captain r. when about Z years ofagc.
1sinorre, his father, being Il man Of rei,-
siderable information aud having perfect
confidence i'll Captain X. and manifest
paiiiGity for the Americans, desired that
his son should receive finished etlucati-
OH in this country. He, therefore, COM
mitIcd his son 10 the care Of Captain Il.
together with property deemed sufficient
to driray The expenses of his educate
on
The Cartainro doubt intended 10 fulfil
the trust committed to him, and faithfully
10 approximate the property he had re-
ceivcd for the education OF Tie Prince
But on his return to America he left The
business he had been engaged in, and set
tied in family State IN the country, a
bout 40 miles from Boston He lived IN
an cxtravagant style. His property was
soon eiissipetcd aud with ii the prop riv
Of the Prince. The CAPTAIN is since dead.
For three or four years succeeding the ar
rival of the young Prince in this country,
Ire removed from one family and place TO
another, in the neighborhood of Worces-
ter, III Mass.-During the greater part of
this period, he labored hard, was poorly
clotlied, and received but bare subsis-
tence. At length dissatisfied with his
situation, lie came TO Boston, rs is sup
posed, with design Of embracing the
first favorable opportunity of returning
TO his own country. About this time,
his case became known 10 some benevo-
lent persons, who felt interested for his
welfare, and search was made for him in
Boston, without success. twas then re-
ported that he had returned to his oYn
country.
Ii was circumstance deeply lamenied
by many, that he shonld return TO his ia
Their after such usage, and with such un-
favorable impressions concerning chris
tian people.
But in the month of May last, he was
found, as has been already noticed. 1t
seems that The Prince when lie arrived in
Boston from the country, enlisted into
the navy. The first vessel i'm which he
served was the Enterprise. He was 10
the engagement between the Enterprise
and Boxer, vas one of the boarders, and
while in the act Of boarding he received
wound in ihesidc from a pike. The Bri-
fish sailor who gave the wound was about
to renew the thrust, when he was disabled
and slain by an American sailor who
stood by the side ofihe Prince
He was afterwards on board the Euerri-
ere frigate, and went with Commodore
Decatur to the Mediterranean. lie was
in an engagement with an Alger.ne fri
gate.
The following letter. written by The
Prince 10 his father, will serve as speci-
men of his ability to improve. The ORR
ginal from which it is copied is writer in
plain. legibc hand. Tie composition is
entirely his own. 1t will be remembered,
that the Prince is abont IL years of age,
and has been in.ihis country about 10
years. Two three words only are cor
rected in the succeeding leitey.
