J 'ANK EXECUTIONS
r° r tiile at [his Otiicc,
! CARICATURES.
The great teats of our lit *" i
tie navy have called forth the
genius of the Poet, the Dra
matic, the Orator, the Pain
ter, and the Biographer: the
Historian will hereafter take'
his place in the lift of pane
gyrifts.
Connected w irh our praise
is the disgrace of our enemy.
1 he boaits of Mr* Bull, his
extfavagant encomiums up-j
on his own navy, and his:
insolent taunts upon our
Teamen, hare canted us to
enjoy his disgrace with ad
ditional relish. The dilap
pointed boafttr is the moftj
ridiculous ot all characters.!
He becomes the buttof eve-'
f y one, and it he is of con
fuquence enough to delerve
rebuke, is handed over to
the lath of the genius of rid
'icule. •He (trurs in a farce 3
writes in a satire ; is impal-i
led by a pun; or ftgures in a
cari ature.
The wits of Philadelphia!
have already taken Mr. Bull 1
by the horns —and with age--
ni 11s, equally happy and i
protnpt, have depicted his
agonies in Caricature. Wei
have seen two of them, of
this defcrtDtion. 1
• m
The firft is entitled M John J
! Bull stung to Agony by In- <
feeds.
1 It represents Mr. Bull in 1
a pitiable phrenzy of paftion<
and pain, bleeding on each l
fide with the lting of a Hor- <
;net and a Walp. From the;
ihead of the Wasp flows this l
inlcription— i
a
“ How comes or? your'
copper bottoms at Bombay ?
Here is something ft r
between wind and water.*’
The Horner ha s the fol
lowing infeription
“ You’ll bridge the At
lantic, will you ! On ! then
you fhali have a Bane to
your bridge friend Johnny.”
While poor John roars
out in the following drain :
| “ Are thde your If'alps
and Hornets! Oh! I am
Hull'd already.*'
The face of Mr. IT 11 does
not on ihe whole prrferve
the character of the London,
i
caricatures—it is deficient, 1
in that en bon pointy which
didinguifhes the cuhbhy mo
narch of road beef and por
ter — tho* tonfidering the;
cold iweats which Bona-;
parte has given him, the re
peated blood-iettings of Mr.
Pitt, and the agony indict.'

ed by cur flings, the charg'
mav he tolerably confi(ten
with poetical juitice. Th<
mod curious cireutnflancc,
however, in this caricature,
is the date of it—it was,
publiUed in Philadelphia
id of March, 1813”, thus
predicting, by a fort ot in
spiration, the fpiended tri-i
umphs of the Hornet.
The other print is rnti-!
tied “The Cock Fight—or
another ding tor the pride
of John Bull.” In iht
centre o! the piece is a luge
Peacock, beating in his
mouth rite Britiih flag and
jpierced through and through
with the fling of a Hornet,
its bread bleeding, and its
j o *
once elegant re-fliers (hat
lered to pieces. Over i*
appears this infeription :
“ I wish l had flaid a.
home, and flruued on mv
own Dunghill.”
To the icft is a vigorou?!
Hornet, with its wings
Attached and ttarred repre
senting 'he American flag
this' label is placed over
it ’
u * i
“ I’ll make you rue the
day that ever you fixed your
Argus eyes on me- I’ll rtke 1
you fore and aft my boy. —1
HI fend you to Davy's lock- 1
er.” |
On the right of the
whole, is ihe mad monarch 1
of the Britilh Illrs (urveying 1
through a teiefcope the :
dreadful contefl between the
ins est and the bird. The
face of the king is executed
to the life j and the words
which fpuit from him, are
like thole abrupt rxprefli jus
which the factious Peter
Finder Aiyles the “ legs ami
wings of words,”
“Aye ! What ! What 1
Brother Jonathan’s Hornet
killed my Peacock ! In fit
j
teen minutes too ! not pof
'lible —fine bird--well ted
i I fear he was too fond of
Blowing his tail.”

at fort IV a) in, to bis wif
in Allegany county , due .
fort iVayne, Oft. 19,1812.
‘‘ l take my pen to in
form you that lam well, al
ter a long and perilous jour
nev through the Indian
country. Capt. Wells, mv-
Icll and an hundred friend.y
Indians left fort Wayne on
die firfl of Aug off to escort
in capt. Heald, from fort
Chicaugo, as h* was in dan
ger of being captured bv the
Britilh, Orders had been
given to abandon that fort
and retreat to fort Wayne, a
liflance of 150 miles. We
reached fort Chuaugo on
the loth of Augufl, and on
;the 15th we prepared for
an immediate march, burn
ing all that we could not
fetch with us. On the 15th
at 8 o’clock we commenced
our march with our (mall
force, which con filled of
captain Wells, my felt, and
our 100 confute Indians/
capt. Healeds ioo men, ten
women and twenty children
in all 232. We had march
ed half a mile when we were
attacked by 600 Kickapo
and Wynbago Indians. In
the moment of trial our con
fute savage-joined the ra
vage enemy. Our contefl
laded ten minutes when eve- 1
ry man, woman 6c child was
killed except 15. Thanks'
be to Hod, I was one of
thole who escape i. Firfl,
they (hot the feather of my
cap, next the epauiet from
my fliouider, and then the
h/indie from my (word. I
ti.cn surrendered to four sa
vage ralcals. The confute
chief, taking me by the
hand, and speaking Englifli
laid, ‘Jordan 1 know you
you gave me tobacco at fort
Wayne. We wont kill you,
but come and fee wiiat we!
will do with your captain,”
lo leading me to where
Wells lay, they cut off hi
head and put it on a long
, pule, while another took
ou; his heart and divided u
among the chiefs, and they
eat it up raw. Then they
lealped tiie tlain and flrip- 1
ped the pnfjners, and garn
ered in a ring with us h;-
tecn poo. wretches in the!
middle. They had n daily
(ell out about the divide,
but my old chief true White
|ltacoon holding me tad,
t U'y made the divide a» l
ieparfed to their towns.
They tied me hard and fa ft
j
.bar night and placed a
'inrd over me. 1 .av down
ind llept foundiy u.u.l morn
• ng, fer 1 was tired—ln the
morni.ig they untied me and
.set me pa-chtng corn, a:
which I worked attentively
until nigh:. They laid thac
it I would ihy and not runa
way, that they would make
a chief of me, hut it 1 would
attempt to run away they
would catch me and burn
me alive. I amused them
with a hue (lory in order to
gain their confidence; and
fortunately made iny escape
from them on the 19th Au
gust, and took one of then*
Dell horses to carry me, be
ing seven days in the svil
dernefs. I was joy fully re
ceived on the 26m at Wayne.
On the 28th they attacked
the fort, and blockaded us
until the 16lh of September
when we were relieved by
Gen Hatrifon.”
