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.
