We are now to present our readers the de tails ol a most unexampled outrage, in the per petration of which the blood ol our country men has been shed by the hand of violence, and the honor and independence of our nation insulted beyond the possibility of further for bearance. At a very early hour yesterday morning a report reached this pace, which produced a degree of agitation beyond unv thing we ever witnessed or can attempt to describe. Itwus reported that on the preceding evening the Chesapeake 1 ligate, which had gone to sea that morning, had been attacked by the British ship Leopard, captain Humphries, of 50 guns, and that the Chesapeake had struck her co lors. Although the source from whence this information was derived was not such as to de serve the highest consideration, yet it was sta ted in that way, and attended with such cir cumstances, as left but little hope that it was not true. Accordingly every vessel or boat horn the Capes was boarded with great anxie ty, and which was not relieved until about two o clock, when pointed information was recei ved that the Chesapeuke was returning to Hampton Roads, without shewing any colors. About four o’clock all doubt was relieved by a a spectacle which was calculated, and did not tail, to rouse the indignation of every American present, and we trust that it will never subside until ample satislaction has been made—clevel of our wounded fellow citizens arrived in a boa dispatched from the Chesapeake, and now w> learned the following particulars, which we be lieve are coviect. The Chesapeake frigate, captain Gordon, under commodore James Barron, got under way on Monday morning, and proceeded to sea, passing the Capes about 12 o’clock—at 9 o’clock the Leopard by signal from the com modore’s ship had got under way and stood out to sea. About 3 o’clock the Chesapeake and Leopard approached, when the customary signal ol filing a gun to leeward, the signal for 1 riends was made from both ships. Being about three leagues from the land, the ships came within hail, when the commander of the Leopard hailed, and hoped commodore Barron was well, and informed that he had dispatches for the commodore. The ships hove to and a boat came on board the Chesapeake, with a letter from captain Humphries. In this letter was a copy ol one from admiral Berkley at Halifax, to all the British commanders on this station, in which they vveie ordered to de mand from the commander of the Chesapeake tour British seamen named in the letter, and that it they were not delivered by fair meat s to use force. Captain Humphries stated in his letter that as commodore Barron would per ceive that his orders were peremptory, he ho ped th.it ho would not oblige him to execute them by force. Commodore Barron returned an answer to the letter, in which he stated that the orders of his government forbid him to per mit his vessel to be searched, or to deliver a man from h . The boat from the Leopard had no sooner returned on board, than a gun was fired a-head and a-stern of the Chesapeake, and instantly followed bv a broadside from the Leopard, accompanied by swivels and small arms. Six other broadsides hallowed, the two ships then within pistol shot. On board the Chesapeake all was astonishment, the ship was unprepat ed lor action, no man at his quarters, and some of the officers at dinner. In this si tuation commodore Barron hailed the Leopard repeatedly without effect : he tnen ordered the colors to be struck j as this was doing, a gun from the Chesapeake was fired, upon which the Leopard fired another broadside. The colors being now down, an officer was dispatch ed to the Chesapeake, who on coming on hoard expressed some regret on behalf of his commander for what had happened. He was received with great it dignation bv the Ameri can officers, who ‘endered their swords, which he refused, saving that he wanted the four men and nodiing more, and demanded the. muster roll, which was produced by thp pur ser, and then was exhibited the degrading spectacle of nearly four hundred An.ericai s mustered on the deck of an Ameiicun man of War, by order of a Biitish lieutenant, and four ot the crew taken away. The lieutenant said he was desired to make commodore Barron an ofler cl any service:, in the power of his com mander. It would be needless to savin what manner such an offer was received, it was con sidered as an aggravation of the outrage whkh had been pet peti ated. he British off,cet re fusing to consider the Chesapeake as a prize, departed, informing commodore Barron that he was at liberty to proceed whither he pleased. The commodore returned to Hampton roads, as before stated. We are sorry to acid to this account that thiee of the crew were killed, and sixteen wounded, some of them dangerously. Commodoie Bat ton was slightly wounded m the leg, and one midshipman. The ship is greatly injured in her hull, masts and rigging, and must be repaired before she can go to sea, .'mch at e the details of this affair, w hich we be lieve are substantially correct, being mostly furnished by a gentleman who was on board the Chesapeake last evening. It is impossible that on such an occasion, there can be but one sentiment in the heart of every American. The independence ofotr country has been attacked, and in defending it our fellow citizens have been killed. Sub mission to the demand made on commodore Barron, could not hive been made, without relinquishing our right, as an independent na tion. Lvery national ship is considered as a part of the nation’s territory ; as well might the government of Great-Britain instruct her officers to land in our country, and assume the right of punishing those who have offended her laws, as to enter our ships of war for the sjp.e purpose. This is not the act of a rash impru dent commander, but acting in execution of the deliberate orders of his supeiior officers, if not from the highest authority of the Biitish government, and we shall state our reasons lor so thinking. In the month of March, the Halifax sloop of war, commanded by lord Townsend, was ly ing in Hampton roads, and one offer boats with four men and a petty officer, was ent on some duty. Being out of reach of the guns of the Halifax, or being unobserved, the men rose upon the officer, and one threatened to ihrow him overboard ; this, however, they did not do, but pulled for the shore which they reached and proceeded to this place, where they entered with an officer then engaged in the enlistment of men for the Chesapeake. A formal demand was made to have them deliver ed up. The civil authority refused to interfere, and the officer who had enlisted them did not think himself authorised to deliver them with out orders from his superiors. The case was represented we believe at Washington, but what passed there on the subject w e know not. The men were not delivered up, and were be lieved to be on board the Chesapeake. We are confident that a representation of the case was made to the Biitish government, whose orders, we apprehend, were to take the men wherever they were to be found. Our readers will be informed, that the Leopard arrived here only a few days since, and brought the orders of the admiral at Halifax to take the men at all events and under any circumstances. it may be objected that there has not been time to hear from England since the circum stance respecting the Halifax occurred, which wx think was about the ninth or tenth of March, but we know that answers to letters written to London, as late as the 20th of March have been received here. However this may be, the captain of the Leopard has acted under the or ders of his superiors, and as such, the act claims the serious attention and resentment of the people and goveiwment of this country. It is no justification to say, that the men ought to have been surrendered in the first instance. We shall not stop to examine that subject now, but whenever matters of dispute between na tions is settled by force, then it is war ; unless from fear or something worse, one of the na tions is disposed to submit, which we trust and believe is not the case with the United States. It is the established usage for nations, who are not determined upon hostilities to seek redress by negociation, and certainly America has pur sued that course with Britain on many occasions. If this act then, is to be ascribed to the British government, there is an end of all further ne gociation on the subject, and war must be the result. Greatly as we always have deprecated war with that country; conscious as we are, that our country will experience infinite dis tress, we look upon it as degr cling beneath contempt, if we are to submit to such insult. Ao—we trust that there will be but one heart and one hand, in supporting the just rights and the honor of our country. If the act has not proceeded from the government of England, we persuade ourselves that our goverment will nut want the unanimous support of its citizens, in pursuing measures for the obtaining of ample satisfaction. e cannot close these remarks, without noticing the manly and dignified conduct of the citizens ofthis place, under this trying occasion. Exhibiting that cool but firm countenance, which is the true indications of determined courage; no act of violence was committed, or intemperate expression used towards the British subjects, who happen to be here at this time; ar.d it would lie an act of injustice to the latter, if we did not add, that from every thing w r e could hear and see, they were pene trated v. iih the deepest concern upon the oc casion. June 25. On Tuesday we gave a short account of the sad affair which now engrosses all time and i all conversation—bhortly after that publication
