HISTORICAL INCIDENT.

Having occasion recently to examine file Of the
Massachusetts, Centnel for l185, our attention wa.
attracted to a correspondence between Governor
Bo~doin and the captain of British frgate then ly
ing in the harbor of Boston 1t will probably be new
10 many Of our readers, as it was to us, and we &C
cordingly transfer it TO our columns 1t 10 stated il
the Centnel that Capt Stanhope, with one of his off
GERS, was walking in the mall, when he was met By
an American sailor, who had, during the war, been
prisoner on board his ships and that in passing, tht
American went too near the captain. This was tbs
insult Of which he complains to the Governor. Il
may be inferred from another paragraph in the Cen
lineI, that Capt Stanhope published the correspon
dence with the Governor in Halifax paper, after
he left Boston, with variations-which induced
The editors to procure and publish copies of the orr
yinals.
Previous TO the publication of the correspondence
OF the rhymesters of the town wrote for the Cen
incl the following which was supposed, from the
run.or current in the town, to be substantially
rect version Of Capt. Slanhopcs first letter.
By Neptune, Sir I've been abused
And satisfaction is refused
now, quite snug on board my ship
Can dare insult, nor fear the ,chip.
You're fools to think this grand cy-day,
Was made TO carry Oft your hay
Or buy an OK, cheese, or SWINE,
Or with your better Jfo,ks to dine
No Far from these, my potent thunder
Was aimed TO knock your rebels under,
IT, insult your persons-wound each feeling,
And fret the wounds that just were healing.
TO let your SOFAS of tnciion know.
What homage they TO Britain owe,
And make cen you, Sir, know and feel,
Stanhopes superior pgM and zeal
His force TO make you tremble more,
Than you made hin in times before.
For shame, shall merit meet neglect
Shan't genius claim due respect'
In Fames bright page my deeds will shine,
When darkness shall attend on thine.
Though once own broke its true.
Paroles most sacred honor through,
And from your jurisdiction fed sss
And drove a chase at Marblehead 80,
Where, both as servant and as spy, =, -
| long escaped from justice eye;
Your seamen, too, I've whpt ofttimes,
If not for ftn-Jor petty crimes, ~
And to resent il have defyed 49, -.
Whole dozens-afier they Uere lied 80 -a
But these are trdes acts like these,
Britons can do wheneer they please, M
But George shall know this shameful story,
Ths sully to your nation glory, R.A
On Sunday night host ofJoes,
Menaced me with thumps and blows,
10 break my head, or tap my nose, \
The furious mob with Joy elated
Rushed on, and me aS,n,insisd ,s
With threads and shoMs--when this was done,
What could poor Stanhope do but run.
And shant murdered man complain,
Nay, insult in the lof1iea strain
Yss-Faith willard now Pm here,
And have no Castle guns to fear,
III take revenge-youre rebels all
Cowards who dare not face ball,
An up start crew of paltry elves,
Who cheat and plumber cen yourselves,
Your race the sport of Brtan's Court is,
And far beneath cen Stanhopc's notice.
