“ SIR,
e( If you plead you will rrahe |
the following faeft spublic through
the American, On the 29th of j
.Auguff, while firetching off (
from the Capes, delcried two I
liiil, to which gave chafe, and j
at 8 p. M. came up with fliip !
Mercury and near, his Britannic
Majefty’s fliip Brutus, captain
Smith, alias Thurfton.—Thf
Mercury had her main fail hauled
up, and no perfon but the boat
fivain on'deck-, with three Tailors, !
* J j
who faid the floopor war’s crew !
had been on board, and beat j
the captain, mate, and four of I
the crew in fuch a manner, as i
rendered them unable to do duty,
* They alfo infilled on my coming
on hoard, and taking the Ihip
again into port. I told them
that unlefs die fnperior officers
wanted my lervice I could not
give them they anfwered that
they were too feverely beaten to
come on deck. 'The Hoop of
war laying on the Mercury’s
weather quarter, I thought it
ad wife able to firffc fpeak her,
which I did and was informed
that The was from Bermuda on
a cruize, and had the day before
captured a Philadelphia fchooner
from Cape Francois, bound to
Philadelphia, and were then juft
making fail to chafe a veil'd to
windward which they expected
was a brig from Cape Francois
for Philadelphia. 1 alked the
reafon of capt. Waters laving
1 ,0
v/ith his courlairs haded up.
The captain told me Waters
was pretty well done over j that
he had lent his lieutenant on
board, who informed him that
the Ihip was H. M. Brutus, and
afked for fome grog and provi
fions for the people j which capt.
W. refufed to give ; when riie
lieutenant lent Waters on beard
the Brutus with his papers ;
fome of the Britifh Tailors re
mained on board the Mercury,
wlule capt. W. underwent his
examination, who, on their re
turn, laid Waters mate and crew
infuked them by cc damning his
majc fly’s Ihip and all hands on
board.” I then left the Brutus
and went along fide capt. W.
who then came on deck and told
me that the fhip fired at him in
a calm which was the reafon of
his refuting them provifions.
That he and the Britifh captain
parted as gentlemen j but when
he was about to make fail, was
again boarded by a baige con
taining the captain and a number
of lailors, who, with the captain,
fa id they had come to get re
drefs, for the (fuppofed) infuk
which had been offered to his
majefty. Captain W. Paid he
fhould give him none, as he
could not be anfwcrable for the
conduct of his Tailors in his ab- I
fence. On which a fkirmilh
took place between the Britifh
end American Tailors, which
captain W. went forward to en
deavor to fupprefs, when the
hr; tiff captain ft ruck Waters
Lveral ftvere cuts with his
hanger, w hich capt. W. endea

but he laid he would endeavour
to keep his comTe that night,
