subject to the outrages common the part Of
British cruisers while they were in that port. lmmedi
ately upon their arrival here they reported the matter
under oath, at the custom-house, and their adayts
have been transmitted to Washington. ga
Donald Hastings, the I'd mate of the VIM. Achon,
states that the I'd instant while in the harbor Of S

John Hastings she boarded by number Of persons
in British uniforms. who Alongside in barge, from

to commit crimes but it is not too low to furnish
its full quota Of paupers Now, the British press,
which is quite as free as our own, though by no
means 30 generally circulated and read, does not
descend into the records of this kind of English so

society. '+h
With little more comfy, and integrity of state

the national character of the American people would
stand less chance of assault from abroad and be in

cannot exist except by such industry and productions;
