The Englilh eviuce'every day the con- i
tempt in which they hold the rights oil
nations and thole ot neutral powers. The
following is anew example of their atro
cious condud to a vdfel belonging to
the United States :—The brig Lyon,
of Baltimore, Capt. Peter Council, left

12 days out, in bit. 34, 54, at fix o’clock
in the tnornin;:, Ihe led 1.1 with an Eng

of Hunrlty, commanded by captain Ha
milton, of is guns, which liad left
Charleston id days biferc. The Eng
lith captain ordet and captain Corn fell to
ccme on board ; his papers being found
regular, hr was permuted to proceed,
but it falling calm tie could make no
way j hetwiui it and 12 o’clock at
tioon, the Lyon was again niited by 12
snu'H men bdorgiog to t. e Marquis of
J lur.tley, who mfuUed the mate and j
robbed the jn.fh ngej§ of their gold, lifter, 1

was not exempt from t!?t brigandage cfl
thde pirates, who puiVcd to toe lad de

■tvhole fortune of a poor woman who,
-notwithlhir.ding all the precautions hicli
the had taken to prrlerve them from thde
barbarians, saw herftlf inhumanly d-s

lieve that tlie Englifn government can

made to affaflinate the Dry, he having
received several (labs, and fain to be mor

bloody work was fill going on when the

Sept. 16
Extract of a Utter from Miv mna, dated
the Iftb of August ,f tom an Am risen
merchant thereto his friend in this city .
“ A few days iince our Consul sud
denly closed his-office, and refufes grant
ing any certificates or other consular do
cuments, alledging as his reasons for fn
doing that fome circumstances had oc
rured between the governor and himftlf,
in corfftquencc of his reprtfenting to the
latter the capture of an American veffei,
which would reader it very imprudent
and unfafe fur him to continue the exer
cise of his official deti:s.—This circum
flance has thrown us into the utmost con
fufion and anxiety, as i: cantos a confide
rah-lc change in the routine of business,
and excites apprehenfioiw that property
fti’pptd from lienee, unaccompanied wit ft
the ufcful certificates may be fufjedted
to capture and detention by tlie priva
te'ers and thipj of war ci the biiligercnt
powers.
“ Although 1 lament the canfe which
(hould have ocealioned this nuafure, yet
1 believt he has ve y reasons lor a
j.dopting \ f ; for, having two examples
Ibefpre him ot the arbitrary impritonment
[of Amirican Consuls in this island, it
would be extreme imprudence in him to
continue the csercifes of his fundfions,
fubjtdling himl'-ir to insult and injury,
ana to the ruin of individuals, and ixpo
fi -g bis perfonrd liberty and property to
the arbitrary power or a capricious go
vernment.
“ It is laid he 13 determined on notre
fuming his functions, wittiout he can have
assurances of proper aid and protiddion in
the ixercifes ot them.
“ If this fnoiild tie refuftd him, oi'.r
government mutt undoubtedly take feme
mcafurts to entorce the acknowledgement
of an agent here so long as our commerce
15 primmed; for, to ba without one, at
tile place where we have so important and
• x enfive inttreourfe, and where tbe a-
ouies upon our trade are greatir than in 1
any part of the world, would be txpofing
’-he perfoes of many of our citizens to,
injuries, and their property to deitrufti-j
■ >n. It is impofilble any perfoncau form 3 I
curreft idea of the impoiitioas upon our -
raue in this island, anti of the abuses
and infuits which vve futfer from the pri- i
• ateexs which make its por.s harbours of,
convenience for depredations upon our i
commerce, without being upon the fliot
tfidf. The government will take no tf
reflual meafiires to prevent their irregu
larities, and thereby encourage their c-.m
tiauance—an enormous duty in inpofed
upon our imports, a heavy duty on ex
ports, a thousand namelcfs infuits are pas
fed upon U3, and (liall v/e permit tliclc
things with impumty ? l!i ill we permit
ne colonial government, of a weak and
impotent nation to harbour a gang ol
rubbers, who tx ff by preying upon tlu
property ot our citizens ; the inhabit a it;
it which are cloathed, fed, avd theit
iroops paid by their commerce, which
das no other supplies but through us,
who ate dependant on us for every neces
sary of li’e ? We have the means com
pletely in our pow. r. An interdiction
of trade with them but for a few months
woul i reduce them to our own terms,
and would be a confidcr.ible laving to cur
.country ; for a trade to thir p'ace, if it
continues under the fame opprclfive du
ties as are now ioapofed, but wid ruin our
merchants engaged in it, a,id augment toe
injuries and ir.fidtß we now fuft.r, i
