dia to the Dutch Island of Ternate, the moll northerly of
the Moluccas, formerly celebrated for their Clove Trees,
but which the Dutch, in the reigfi of King James L trans
planted principally to the famous Island of Amboyna,
where tlie enormities convinced the world that Hollanders
could be cruel.

New York, January 18.
Extracl of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia to
bis friend in this city, dated the 13 tb January,
179 J.
“ ********** Having been fome time in France I have
had an opportunity of feeing the execrable conduit of many
abandoned Americans, iwo thirds of the persons from
the United States now in France would disgrace the pirati
cal dates of. Barbary. I knew several who have made
princely fortunes by privateering against a nation with
whom we are in amity, and against their own countrymen.
There is hardly a port in France from which Americans do
not fail a3 privateers. One of those villains is now in your
city; he, I have reason to believe, gave tlie infamous
Capt. Haley the commiifion with which he took the Hare,
was his agent tor compromiling with and paying those good
republicans who had property on board, and whom Haley
laid should not differ “by G.d.” This wretch, who has
new tlie base effrontery to appear in the United States, was
on terms ot the strictest intimacy with Haley while in Pans.
IE 1 ore I left France I was credibly informed, and indeed
it WdS universally talked of at Bourdeaux and Paris, that
the fellow to whom I allude had realized the sum of
150,0001. sterling by piracy! and that the noted Capt.
Cooper, with whom lie was interefled, had seized all h’*i
property at Bourdeaux, &c. to bring him to a settlement
for prize property appropriated wholly to himfelf, cf which
Cooper owned half by agreement. I am sorry that the
information I am pofTefled of is not diffident to warrant
my giving his name at full length, and also of delivering
up the criminal to the laws of my country. I wait the
arrival of two or three gentlemen from France, who possess
legal proof fufficient to convict and pnnifh the base pirate,
whose very breath is poison, and who, on the arrival cf
the gentlemen alluded to, I am fully determined shall not
breathe the fame air with honest men.”
1 he brig Nancy, Hoggard, was captured on the icth
of November by the French privateer brig Pandour, Capt.
Ga rife an; recaptured the 24th of fame month by ‘the Bri
tilh finp Lord Havrke&liy, and had arrived at Bermuda.
