Old Bailey. —Yefierday Jsmes
Hewit, an old man neatly 60 jeers
of ag H , was indi&ed for ami ('de
meanor, in having in the month of
Auguft Eft, contraty to an aft:
pdlrd in the re : g;i of Georg*; 11.
feduceri an aitifictr of this country
to Itave the kingdom.
From the teftimony of the wit
ntfils t xamined, it appears thar, the
prifoner, although recently from
America, is an Englilhman, arid
had recently frequented a public
jJnjft called the York-Minifter im
■ n .S . ; * .
fttK diacely in the vicinity of the
• cotton manufactory of M'ff s.
Hughes and Lewi*,, Bonhill row ;
f to which the men employed in the
fervice rf MefTrs. Hughes and
Lewis reforttd : and amor<gft others,
man named Hutchinfon, who had
t t ,forrnerly been apprenticed from the
v.jJrifh of St. Maitins, to a cotton
’Ar.ufaftory near Manchefter,
where he remained ’tili lie arrived at
the age of 21. He then came to
Mt fils. Hughes and Cos. in the
wool and ii g bufmefs, and was in
fail returned a fair workman—This
man the prifonef frequently met,
and by glowing repnefentatic-ns of
the advantages and great wages he
was likely to obtain, by going to
America, induced him to agree to
emigrate for the pyrpofe of being
employed in a cotton manufaftory,
a: a place called Cooper's Town,
whhia two miles of New-York,
[Philadelphia] and a (hort did mce
irom the rc (kit* nee of the prifoner.
Mtff'S. i iughes and Lewis hav
ing heard of this negociation fent
for the prifoner and re mon ft rated
with Dm on the illegality of the
flops lie was purfuing for warning
him st the fame time, that if he
p 1 lifted in his delinquency, they
would pundh him with the rigor of
the law. The prifoner rhen declar
ed his ignorance of aoy criminality
attached to his conduct, and pro
nuftd mod faithfully that he would
rclinquilh his intentions. In a few
days, however, Mr. Hughes dif
coverM that Hutchinfon was mak
ing preparations for his departure,
ard thar his padage had been actu
ally taken on board an American
iliip-—This prifoner w.u then ap.
prehended, and being brought be
fore a magiftrare, produced a re
ceipt of 12 1 dollars, paid by him to
the mate of an Americau (hip, for
JTutchir.fon's pdßge, and alfo a
promifibrv no.e of Hutchinfon's
for that lum and for other monies
before paid to him by the prifoner,
to be paid out of the produce of his
labor's sin Ameiica. The prilon
er’s defence was—that Hutchinfon
came a fecocd time to him, and laid
l*e had his matter's pciiniffion to
leave the country, and that from
1 ;S f< I'Matiors he was induced to
j ay r,,s paiLge out.
1 tit co*itiucn icjcant who tried
the tfcfc in Ij mm or. mg up the evi
dence, d* ;i: peculiar force cn
the mifehievous tendency of the
crimes with which the prifoner flood
charged, which, he faid, was moll
materially connected with the ma
nufadluring interdl of this country ;
and wii defervedly pur.ifhed by
law in a moft exemplary manner;
the legdliture having decreed, that
prifoners guilty ol Inch a,i efTence,
fhould be fubjcct to twelve months
imprif'inmeat, and a penalty of 500
pound*.
The jury, without a moment's
hr fl nr ion returned a verdict of—
Gu:i:y.
Hutchinfon, the artificer Educ
ed, was then tried under an aft pall
ed in the sth of George the itt,
which enacts, That any artificer,
particularly in the manufactures of
cotton, wool, filk, mohair, &c.

detected in, preparing to leave the

The evidence on the former cafe
was again gone through, and the
prifoner was found—Guriry.

Negotiation uiib England.
It is eaty to chfitin the true
feurce of policy to be adopted to
wards England, to produce a fatif
faftery accumrnndi:ion.
We have tried hs'.f mealures
—they failed.—lV ha: ? Lay the axe
to (he root of the evil.
Lr: irjpfies be rttlrcfTed—ns
for e v. e agree even fo much as to
talk of a commercial ts r ary.
Let our imprcfied fellow citizens
be liberated from the Britilh fleet.
Let the outrage on the Chefapeake
be atoned—then—-and not ibnner
—we may venture to propofe terms
ef commercial intercourfe.
Any other cider cf procedure
will be d : ttionv>rabie, as well as im
politic and pre pufterous.
Now is die time to reftore our
rational honor to its original
height.
But, to defeend to higgle about
native or colonial produce—to bar
gain about a certain trade, over the
dead bodies of the citizens treacher
oufly murdered on boa’d the Chefa
peake, would difgrace Shylodc
himfelf—■ much more, the onty free
nation on ear^h.
No—no—firft embalm their
memories, exacting atonement from
their murderers ; appfale the honor
and the grief of the nation, by hon
orable means, and the voice of the
nation will fuppbrt its juft claims.
As for premifes—ErigSifli ones
are i aiuelcfs—infill on the reftora
tion of our feamen, and the atone
mt.nt nsentioned, as the necclfary
preliminary to a treaty.
Rrmember, that our national
charadler is ftained bydefercion and
pufillanimity ; far different qualiiias
are required to purify it.
Palliatives aggravate difeafes
—-decifive, energetic and radical
mealurcs, can a!;-ne recover the

Should a ftrengthening- plaiilcr
be laid on the oa.k of avarice, and
the breull of lacerated honor be
fturk over with frt fh bhfters—the
nation will rqpent its devotion to the
quackery ct puny ftatefmen, when

terday, in 37 days from London.-
She left th&t city, on the 18th Ofta

26th. The lateft papers which \\e
have received by this arrival, are to
the 12th October. From them we
have made the following extrafts.
The only important article which

PEACE haying been concluded
between Aufiria and France and

The glorious intelligence ©f peace
being conftuded between France

the inhabitants by the firing cf can

If this account be cor reft, the fign
icg fisuft have tiken place at Vien

French plenipottntiiry had remov
ed from the latter to the former
place fo early as the 29th idt. and
the Auftrian rfg ciator was ex
pefted on the iullawing day.—-
There is ro doubt, however, that
the teims of the treaty wett* finally
arranged before the removal of the
feat of the negociation frein Altcn

probable that this removal was the
refuk of an imperious demand on
the part of Napoleon, who, in his
capricious tyranny, was decera&wed
to rt nder the lubmiffion of his ad
verfarv the more (hiking, by cauf
iegthe feat of his humiliation to be
