im,ossbe. they were taken to Port-au-Prince where
En- now are in complete restitution, vessel being
willing TO take them on board, and the United States
Con.uI declining TO take them under his protection
bacsuse their names do not appear on the manifest Of
,b. African and because they have nothing TO prove
,ba. they are citizens of the United States. Some
time before the reception of this letter war vessel
had been sent to bearing instructions
TO the Consul to make the proper demands On The
ueytien Government in regard to these men,
Enclosed letters from j. Il. Hernandez 70 the
..New.York Commission give an account Of the
voyage. TIE passage was long. On the AFTERNOON
Of the 9TH ut they were startled by the appearance
of war-vesse; they had previously DECIDED 10 lana
next morning at o'clock. Another letter contains
the re asons why they could not land the great ds-
lance at which the Captain of the African wished TO
keep from the shore; the iusuiciency OF the three
boats Of the bark to take them all at once with their
arms and ammunition; they would have TO leave
OOO pounds of balls behind as well as some OF their
number They therefore resolved to pnt IN ut Fort
au. Prince to procure new means Tor putting the'f
pans into execution. They threw great blame on the
Captain Of the African who, they say, had no ooats
fit to land them with, who dared not venture near
the shore. ard who did not come within a long dis
lance Of Nuevas Grandes, where he had agreed 10
take them. They protest generally against this, and
threaten to prosecute Capt. Brtton for damages.
