SAVANNAH,
Ti lesday Evening, Nov. 19, 1811.
By the arrival of Gapt. Dennison, wc have
been favored by a friend with New-Yoi It pa '
pers, as late as the ninth inst. They contain
nothing niacenally new. An arrival at Boston,
from .Vortuga.', states, that the position cf the
armies'- rein- ined similar as iieretofcre , and
i.hat l! ic inhabitants of Alg( ziras were appro-
bensivercf an attack from the French.
The Edlowirg, we believe, is a correct nar-
xativc of the melancholy cucurustanccs which
occurred in tlr* city, and which were occasion
ed by i> n; impioper conduct of ibe crew's of the
two Kit rich piivaiceis, which weie burnt in (his
port on Friday evening last. Vve lia\c taken
pains ny obtain particulars, and have submitted
ft to ti. e-cimsirieraiicn of gentlemen who were
ueces' arily engaged in suppressing and oppos
ing ili o tumult. Those acquainted with any
partic. li ars not detailed ate invited to inform us
ui the Ai :— •
. “ t hi Thursday evening, the 12'li instatv, a
native American mentioned in » tavern, that
.he ha C entered as a'volunteer on board of one
'-.if lb c.pi ivateco;,' ai d tliat lie -was determined
to “ win the horse or 'esc the saddle. n Some
ubsci -vatious wcie made on ihe impropriety of
his d oienninuuon in joining a lutcign na ion, in
•a wa r in which A.iaerica had no shate. These
obsc twations pioduced a riot. The county co- | ;i / ;d u ' ut j7,'otccti"n of
■w/ iiioi" iViimni'tiflnrl l n/vi,*!, • f\nl ! in..,. . i - l • •
■or shedding the blood of his countrymen, hu
manely preferred the former; and siie was
boanied, s ct on lire and burned soon after his
riercclum nt left liar.
The above mentioned privateers came into
Savannah under pretence of refitting; but rc~
craitv.stums to have been their leal object,
ll appeared, on ti.e examuiatvm, that tlurty-
four ' (.lunleers had joined them since tlieir ar-
riv 4 ';n Savannah.
Taking all circumstances into view, it is
very astonishing that the crows of the privU-
ten s were not -ail murdered upon tire spot.—
The civil authority, pariicularlv the ni-ivorof
the city, used every possible means of having
the vessels saved from destruction, and the
crews carried t.,i prison- to save them from be
ing massacred.”
Considerable p-aise is due to major Harri
son, and liis battalion, for the pro'.apt offer of
their sci vices last Sauirday, during ihe above
sff ly. I hough iheir seivices wete nut iiced-
td, their a'aciny, on ths occasion, is higl'.ly t,o
be'coiuaiendcd.
A report having found circulation, (imp.roba-
hle as it may appear) that capt. Marshall and
his detachment of the Savannah Volunteer
Guard-., had left on board several of the crew
ol La Vengeance privateer, vvJjo were burnt
with her, in order therefore, to refute at once
tlii unjij-t calumny, we the undersigned, here
by certify and declare, that we have seen the
whole number ct the crew, who were larded
the
club and tflb coroner was so much beaten
that he was obliged to be Carried home.
On Wednesday evening, the 13.h. five Ame
rican!-seamen were passing through the sf tci-,
unarmed, and were met anil attacked by about
twelve of the prirutec; s’ e ew, with u'iilts,
dubs and brick-b-'s. llrtc of (he Ameucans
xvere stabbed, and 'the ori-.eis beaten. The
.Americans retreated; were pursued to the
whaif, ivid the capt a his ef the ships in the port
had great difficulty in restraining their crews
i'rom j<«riing in a mob lor the pnspose of re
venging die shed-b'ood of their ship-mates.
'On Thursday"night, (lie 1-fth, six American
seamen were going into a house, at the upper
ct d of the town, to dance; but before they
readied the house, they were assaulted furious
ly by about twenty of the priva'ccis’ new,- with
Sabres, disks and dubs. Four of the A-neii-
can fs.rnfo.i escaped by flight, ant! the other
two were bu'ottered in a most shocking man
ner. One died immediately, and the other
next morning.
In this afT-ay, one of the French crew was
'Stabbed at^jennviv, by his own party, and di
ed the next titty. Two of the crew carried him
lauded, and th.it while utxlt

were treated with Inimani’.v
