September t
swurei.m;
I r has ever been our wish to avoid pubiica
finns of a personal nature, well knowing
that they are not grateful to the feelings
of our readers; but, when a man feelr him
felf injured, and resorts to a public vehicle
for redress, with his signature attached to
his publication, painful as it may be to our
feelings, yet as Editors of a public organ, we
are compelled to give publicity to his ani
madversions ; but, not without opening the
fame channel to his opponents. The per
rons accused in the following Address to the
“ Public,” are of high Banding in St. Marys.
The writer having publilhed the original
deciiion of the Arbitrators, the public will
be more able to judge of the merits of the
publisation.
TO THE PUBLIC.
X N drawing the following statement,
i. 1 intend merely to caution all for
eigners against the snares which fome of
the inhabitants of St. Mary’s know how
to lay with such (kill At tirft I thought
[ had reached an hospitable fliore, and
hailed the land with gladness j but hot’
few there the friends of humanity t how
many, like a greedy hord, are ready to
devour the prey that unfortunately vilits
those coasts ? This I fatlly experienced
as the following faAs will demanftrate.
Having captured the brig Diligence,
on the 19th day ot July lafl, 1 directed
my course towards the inlet of the river
St. Marys, and arrived at the bar at j
o’clock, P: M. but not being able to
im'. the buoy, I thought it fakft to tack
and Hand off. On the 20lh, the pilot,
’•lr. Franltfter, came on board and said
that he would bring the prize vefLl
over the bar, and on the 2 111, at 4 o’clock
, f m when arriving within piihW (hot
jof the bar, this truly fkilf'u! mariner, dc
| dared that lie did not know what to do,
land he seemed quite loft. Ten minutes j
I after the Diligence ltruck and remained I
aground until midnight, when havin.’
j got afloat again, 1 tacked and flood out,
I the pilot then gave orders to trail ;m
----1 chor—he soon after railtly attempted to
1 go io over St. Andrew’s bar, where we
again cast anchor, at the diilance of a
b-mt 10 miles from. St. Marys, t! e vef
led ttien laying in 3 fathoms water, and
; having 5 feet water in her hold. 1
haftsncd then with my crew to load the
schooner Liberty. Captain Rohr i t Ru
dolph, from St. Marys, w ith a pert of
the brio’s cargo, and took a tew hands
fiom on board the iatter, to help to
puino and to load. The increasing din
ger loon compelled us to run the brig
aihore on the beacn of the I hind ot
Cumberland, where u e loaded the Ichoo
ncr Liberty with another part e>f the
cargo; and after the brig bilged and
’ entirely wrecked aud 1011, I left one of
my men to take notice what followed
the wreck- Thus it plainly appears,
that I never iiiar.ihned the ir: a , ‘:j;
I was r.ct igncrait 0/ evbat port cf the
forgo tvat tavrj.
Although the statement of the abort
facts doc* not altogether coincide with j
thecontents of my protest, yet it is for. 1 i
ded U ‘on strict rerccity—the reason ot j
this contradiction is, that ray ignorance j
of the Engli'h language gcre 3. tell I
scope to the LithßL tran fact or, who
inserted a lahliood ir. the public lr.iiru
atcul •fprouSl aid teciamioa.

my principle was ever to obey the iaw3, '’
as the fcclis on which the rights of pro- :
perty are cftabliftied. Accordingly ar
bitrators were appointed, whole judg
ment should in tr.y opinion, be recorded
in the annals of hillarv and tranfmitttd
to poftcrity, rs the pattern of rare and i
impartial justice.
Here follows the dicifion of the ar*;
bitrators ;
“ The undersigned being appointul Ar ■
bitrators by Robert Rudolph and Pierre Or- ■

, Mas this jufiice 61 a mock attempt to imi
tate it ? Heave my readers to decide wheth
er this deciiion flowed f. om any principle of
jvflice, cr deviated from every fund-mental
right. I mull however except two of the ar-
Lutlitors, who gave me their caiid.d opiicon
contrary to that ct the other members, hot
who appear to hav been carried by the maj -i
ity. Mellrs. F. Mullault and John Nightengale
relundlantly attended to this arbitrary and ab
surd deciiion. I will oblerve ailb, that a few
individuals in St. Marys, inanifeßed their in
dignation at tins fir.-.uge and ttiiwarratttable
proceeding. Dut hear what followed the ar
h,tuition... 1 lie men who had worked on board
ot tin: Brig, now preliented their accounts...
1 he litence of tilt- arbitrators on this hesu, had
induced me to believe that 1 was fully difeharo
by paying the enormous amount for salvage,
any other claim appeared to me unjult. What
was my aßonißtmelit to lee diflere.,. tuits niiti
tuted against me for partia! t urns oi one hundred
dollars, which the honorable indulgence ol me
magillrates reduced to fifty, the prr.nipt p*-/-
ment of wnich, laved me from tin horrors t fa
gloomy jail. ‘1 he Audlianetr vh had fold
the Coflt e at B 7 cents, forgot, 1 preluree, to in
fer l in his account of public sales, a hogfl: e ad
he had purchased, but he made a private ac *
count of it, and generoufiy allowed me S5 cts.
Ins lon, the Custom-house O ctr, swore that
he had supplied my crciv- with proviiions, ar.d
claimed the reafotiable contingent of 200 do,is.
which was very luckily reduced to 60. Can
this be denominated jullice ?
The example of such proceedings, -eve
encouragement to a number of scoundrels who
Btove to bite, and tiie uls alio came l i.iak 1
They called me a dog who trembled at the din j
of the chain, and terror they laid vvculd bring .
me to their mealures...the gravity oj the julli
ces wa- turned into a sarcastic laugh or rather ‘
a gltaßly smile, whenever 1 applied to them !
for redress.
W hat ! has the law no evercivo frength ir. j
that country, and inilt-ud of promotinj the puh- *
lie pood, does it only e.ci there as the channel off
wicked nets ar.d cmTuption, as the bane and 1
fee-urge of foLi.il order and harmony . 1 ‘i his is
a liicl.niclioly truth, but II; pethat every hoti- |
,‘i< heart, every true American duplicates the j
conduct. I have defenbed, towards a liartr.lels J
Bt.o.aer, |iu lought an alyluin amldlt the
friends ol his own native l aid, indeed I found
1 --nor and 1-ulj-irality in every other corner of|
America, but at St. Marys 1 found I.itifli in— j
ikleiice and rapacity copied by lonic cbaridier.,

RUMOURS OF NEGOCIATIOI?.
The report of existing negociationa
for the re aftablifhment of peace betweetr
| this country and France, continue to

Miniittrs cominaed to observe the fame
perfect file nee and reserve on thit) fubjett
which h-;ve diflinguifhed their conduct
iir.ee the commencement of the intercourse
on the f.-’ijeft of pnfenera. it would

, The p'e't; circurr,fiances of France
and Europe are very far from those we

present, perhaps any that will ever agciri

[ Thus much tve fay in ur.fwcr to those

our ii cunty, and to fliew the fuilnefs of
our continence by to,rowing ourleivcs en
tirely upon him, and ke pno watch what,
soever over him. 1 hen, indeed, peace
would be fomttiiing like peace ; we may
retrench all our especie;;, and set ourselves
al-uut laving money to pay ;he national
debt, home of those who argue in this
way are so moderate as to fay, they hava

man on whom this full reliance may
lately be placed. We are cutreineiy forrv
we cannot promise a., ,- speedy fatisfadtioa
on either 0. these points to these good
people, who are, we are furc, honeil
enough thcrr.feives to defrrve such entire
good faith. But by keeping up a good

keeping a good loox: cut for any dcftgn
