parfjnJ £it,hcweTfcr, when we found that Eng
land, though she delegated powers, pledging
her veracity to be bound by the results of their
exercise, hesilr.’ed not, where her Interest
could l>e promoted by doing so, to scorn tbe
world and trample on its opinion. The ration,
which has exhibited, and so recently too, such
treachery towards us, is tbe identical one that
would have us implicitly to accredit her dccla-
rations upon paper; while she audaciously
complains of our having believed the personal
assurances of the French minister, whose en
gagements wi'h us have never been so vanion-
3y and basely violated by his government—
The order in council of 1806. by which the
continent of Europe was declared to be under
blockade from the Elbe to Brest, was the pre
cursive cause of the French edicts. AH of the
English papers, which arc not bought up by
the ministry, or subservient to their will, admit
that order to have been issued several months
bcfoie the Berlin or Milan decrees. What
think you then of the people in America, whe
deny this notorious truth ? That papers,
bought up in England by the ministry, should
deny it, is, easily accounted for; but why
should men on this side of the Atlantic weakly
try to conceal the truth ? The honest detector
of ministerial corruption in London furnishes
an answer. He says “ the English ministry
are notoiiously known to pay writers in Ame
rica as well 36 in England, for advocating their
measures.” I have long known the act ; but
we have now assurance of it from an English
editor, whose talents are the dread and curse of
his country's corrupt and conup'ing ministry.
England declares that to be a fact on p*per, and
requires us to believe it, which if not a physical
imposs»b : lity, is, at least, in the dispersed state
of her fleet, impracticable. With a full knowl
edge, then, that what she declares is false, she
would have us to act as if we implicitly believer)
her ; and sacrifices our property, too, under
the pretext of violating a blockade, which is
merely declared in exist. 1 hus American pro
perty is lost, because English ministers de
clare falsehood. This known falsehood,
declared on paper by an English minis
try, is to be implicitly accredited, though
unjust in the extreme, and most dele
terious to our interests: vet, the avowals
of France, when formally made in a spirit of
cecrning sincerity, of which there is no so’:d
ground on which to erect doubt, and when
they guarantee, right to us and b'ea'.b peace
rtto, are to be disregardedand discredited. So
speaks British dictation ; hut ouv obedience
would merge American independence in colo
nial vassalage. "We are not, I think, prepared
to relinquish what the rebelling virtue of our |
fathers bought-so dearly ; and surely ibe recol
lection of their sufferings would invigorate our
-firms, and'freshly animate our spirits, it die ne
ver to be eradicated animosity of their oppres
sors should assail vs.
SAVANNAH,
Saturday Evening, Nov. 16, loLl.
SERIOUS FRACAS.
Within the hist three or four day?, some seri
ous disturbances have taken ] lace between ilie
American seamen, aru! tbe crewsot the French
privateers La Vengeance and IUAgilc *(or la
Francaisej which had been lying in this port
for some time past. Investigation into the
merits of the case, bv tbe proper authority, be
ing vet uncompleted, we are unable, as yet,
to lay before our readers as accirate a detail of
particulars &y could be wished. 1 he circum
stances, so far as could be ascertained, appear
to be these :—
On Wednesday night last, a quarrel origi
nated at a house, in the upper pait of the city,
between some seamen and a patty of the priva
teers’ men A rencontre ensued; in which
three American sailots were stabbed, and their
opponents much bruised by bludgeons. '1 he
three wounded seamen, we understand, ate
since dead: One of them, helot g ng to the
Lrig Hetty, captain Fountain, f cm Philadel
phia, named Taylor. The names ot the oihcis,
or of the vessels to which they belonged, could
uot be ascertained.
The seamen, yesterday, became so extspe-
rated, that they determined on being avenged
by destroying the privateers. They aevordit g
lv embodied themselves last evening; and.
before the civil or military authority had the
knowledge or opportunity of in'erfering in
the transaction, set fi e to L’Agde, and burnt
her to the water’s edge.
La Vengeance was then taken possession of
by a detachment of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards; conveyed to the upper part ot the
town; and remained in their custody until be
tween eleven and twelve at ri ght—when the
seamen procured a fighter-boat, and a pa r cel
of \ar 3nd other combustibles; Hvhich were
put in'o the boat; towed towards the vessel,
and obliged tbe guard to abandon her, for their
owa-safety, as well as to avoid the painful task
of firing on their fellow-ciAzens. The fi e
soon communicated and La Vengeance shared
the same fa e of the L*Agile.
Previous to the assemblage of the seamen-
yes’erday. several of the crew of the privateers
had concealed themselves in a vacant store or
Anciaux’s whai f, where it scents they had some
arms and ammunition deposited. On the sea
men attempting to get on boatd the privateer
they were fi ed upon from the upper windows
of the store. Capt. Miller, of the Champltr
(New-Yo'k packet"! was dangerously wound
ed ; having one of his eyes shot entirely out ;
the other much injured ; bridge of bis nost
fcrnken, and his l ie doubtful. A scamat
wounded, (since dead) and a coloured pesos-
(wqur.ded) were vhot nearly at the same time
and in like manner.
vino of the privateers* crew was killed o
the blot;, yesterday, in the affray ; and groibt
died in gaol, lust night, 9I'h«s wounds. Seve
a! other*, ea both sides, are wconded, beq v*
'jinderst. tsJ, not dangerously. Upwards of a
bundled of the riders arc row in gaoi

Extract of a letter Jrom a gentleman of cha
racter and informational Jacepaemcl, dotted
September 26, 1811, to hia correspondent in
Philkdelphia.
" Christophe is now blockading Port-au-
Princc closely. A frigate, brig, and schooner,
come daily within 5 or 6 miles of t’ue town, and
have already changed the rente of many Ame
rican vessels to Gonaivcs. Besides, a string of
barges line the south channel from Cape Tihe-
ron, with another division of his fleet, and by
the last accounts received from Jamaica, it ap
pears that the lords admiralty at home consid
er blockade on either part, as a legal one, and
as such to be respected. Both Petion and
Christophe have received instructions to that
effect from the admiral, ana it appears from
these instructions that a British vessel is not al
lowed to carry American produce from one
Haytiah port to another.”

Carlsham, August 25.
Qrders have been received for the final con
demnation of all the Danish, Prussian and other
vessels, -which have not fully observe;! the con
tinental system. Several ships laden with co
lonial produce have already been condemned
by the commissioners. The decrees of con
demnation contains this cause :—“ And as his
majesty, by his decrees of April 4th, May 7th
and 22d,1811, has considered colonial produce,
tn conformity with the obligation entered into
for maintaining the continential system, to be
liable to confiscation, the cargoes, Fee. are ad
judged to be confiscated and against which
judgment r.o claim is allowed.” The execution
of the above decre-'-s have been suspended until
lately by the Jarge English armament in our
seas. .
