Power. She has added to hefe

ports against the adiniflion of
vefTels, which, under a neurai
flag, are only the carriers of
English produce, andmerenan

Power has earned its armament
beyond measure—its imitaiy
force is out of all ptoporticn to
its population and finaicet.
Your Ministers, Sire, onlywilli
to remark this, in older that
your Majesty may peneive
the neceflity of augmenting .our
force, for the pur pole of ftiil

power and the popuiaiiot of
the power and the population
of the two empires.

I am dcieimined to cairv 01

future fccurietv of my fubjecU,
the prosperity of commerce,
and a maritime peace, imlft
alike depend on theft important
operations.
My alliance wi»h the Empe

hope which England can enter
tain from her projects. I have
no doubt ref peeling the peace
of the Continent, but I neither
will, nor ought to rely upon
the falfe calculaiions and the
errors of other Courts, and
since my neighbors incrcafe

To the Right honorable
Lord Mayor , &e.
Messrs Starnes Co.
I BEG leave through your
paper to inform the citizens of
this county, and the public at
large, that the information given
to the Grand jury of the Jail’s
being “ converted into a house
of 1 lot, disorder and gambling,”
is utterly untrue.
On the 20th iuftant, there were
a few gemlemeu of the Jury
and witnefics who were attend
* , ing court, who boarded with m*%
’ ; and who on that evening infilled
, 1 on playing a game of whist 01
’ b.xnething of that kind for a
i tuulucent, and for lomeihing
to drink ;- and I informed them
i that i had no objection, and
1 the*V p*a‘ye<l for feme i.une —and
J this wa* the billy time theie was
| ever any card pitying Within the
Jaii walls by my approbation,
i and this was done wfdiout if ri*
t
jot or noilc.” . . ,
There were Pome time ago,
two per Pons confined in Jail
bv the Citv Counci l , for fines
{ # * • 1
imposed by them, and they at
times, as l under flood, amused 1
I them (elves with playing cards
in the room they were confined
; in. hut they never had any dis
I puling or noting that* I knew
l of to disturb eiihcr me or my
j family, 6t any Other pei foils,
j except on one night when I was
j from home, when I was told
! the prisoners had been noisy in
1 their rooms, but luch rudenels
| will at times happen in any Jail
j wiifi per lons confined there—
for it is not always found, that
perfohs confined in Jail, ate
uniformly orderly in their con
dutf. The amufemenis of the
pfifaners in their own room, I
did-not interfere with, and while
thev behaved orderly, I did not
feel warranted in interfering
therewith—a report had been cir.
culated that thefijj pet Jons had
been fuffered by me to go at
large, but tbeftory was altogeth
er fa lie, and was proved to be
so by two affidavit's taken before-
John Dentignac, Esq. and the
per lons were never /uttered to
go at large till difeharged by the
City Council thcmfelveson the
23d of August last This (tory
therefore like the information
on which the prefentinent was
founded, I confider as intended
injuftly to do Ine an injury.—
And I defy any person except
in the fingie instance above men
tioned, to fay that there was ever
any card playing in my houl’e,
or that there has ever been any
in the debtors rooms or in any
other part of the Jail, fmee the
difeharge of the above mention
ed perlons—and if the {late
ment now given Ihould not fatis
fy the public, the molt material
fafts can be lubffantiated by the
affidavit of one of the Grand
Jury, who boarded with me
during court, and of fcvcral
others who also boarded with
me at the fame time. I believe
from the information I have re
ceived, that the Jail has never
been kept in a more orderly
manner, than it has been under
my direction.
As to living in adultry with
darling Peggy Pardue, though
I will not pretend to have been
more flee from faults in in for
mer days than others, yet the
woman mentioned has not as I
know or believe, been even an
inhabitant of this Rate for forne
time past- nor have I ever seen
or heard from her since her re-
I moval.
