An Occurrence of yeiterday h-ut ex
cHcd tome intcrelT, ariiing from ihe
recollection oi a i-eient circumll.ance ;
Ave that] Hate to our readers the parti
culars ot the occurrence of yeilerday,
as they have been related to u- 3 and
as we believe to be correct.
A French fea-nan, belonging to the
French (hip LTlmcvteux, the {hip that
was de it toyed by the Britith on this
co'alt, hnd tome time fiince entered at
.Baltimore, on board one of the gun
boats in the fer vice oft be U. Sales.
Yelieid-iv he detected and got on
.board the tender of the French (hip
L Patriot, declaring his with (o re:urn
into the le* vice of his coun.'ry. ‘1 he
officer commanding the gun-boat dis
covered, and demanded the tea nun,
the Fiench officer ?c r ufed to de
liver him. Some diicuffion was had,
when the American officer departed,
unoer an expectation, or a promtie
that the man (bould not be removed
■until the affair could be represented to
-commodore Decatur. While theoffi.
cer was on board the CheUpeake wait
ting the orders of commodore i) eaiur,
ami for a letter which lie was then wri
ting it) the French commander, the
Pauioi’s boat palled tvnh die teaman
in queflion on board, upon which or
,ders pere ifl.ied by the commodore,
to man one of die Chefapcake’s boats,
and putfue ihe Ftench boat, with or
ders to his officer to endeavour to pre
va'l on the French officer to return
and come aiougfide the Chefapeakc,
hut to bring ttui defcTter back at all
events. Upon the boat’s getting alot g
lidelonii jlturca i >1 enuiecL partly,
we underdao ), by accident, and villa
out jjltoq tnj Jre at* utKud,
Th • French officer, we uod-*rflanil.
agreed to return to the Chefapeak y
Afterwards fomc corretpondenee took
place between commodore Decatur.
and the commander of the Patriot, the.
contents of which we are not it)formed
of. We underhand that both officer
adhered, the one in refilling, and the
other insisting, the result however is,,
that the rnan was taken and carried on
hoard the Chesapeake, where be now
remains until 1h e p lea fu re o t gov er Q
merit shall be known.
Such is a con.-.He Hale of the facts. I
. 1
>s relate to this uiipleafani bubnefs,
upon which we mean to offer no re., i
marks, except to repeat what we have ,
tone upon another occafi in, that the |
employment of loreign (cameo, parti
eu'arly deserters, will generally be pro
d active 01 mifehief: and it is to ne la
mented that the officers commanding,
are not invelted hv government with 1
power to act according to the jiilice
of the case, when they ate lambed.
Accounts of this affair went off bv
he mail to the navy department, and

From the reception which the m-onria! of tiie mer
chants of Philadelphia met with in the liouh- of r< pre
fentatives, we cannot but infer that the cabinet are re-
I'oivcd to carry into operation their foolifh aud irrita
ting n>n importation aii>. From the e(Fnil which it
before had u ion our negociatio i with Great Britain,
the cimfeqoe .ees to be anticipated are truly glo my.
Nothing i f:> likely to produce a war between the two
nations a'o deHr.-y the intcreft which the people at
la-ge, in either country, have for the prel'ers'ati-.n of
pet.ee. We bsve lnei: often told by the writer-, for
the adminidrvion, that Kng'and would make any con
ceffi ms rather than go to war with tl; hecaufe, fav
they, a war with America would so diltrefi tire 13ntifli
meechant. and tnxnuf iiflurers as to produce infurrciShon
and civil war. If v?e,hv prohibitory regu'ations, pre
vent the importation of Bt iiifli m liufaifiures, wc bring
upon tliofn, cl.iffes of people the f.-me rliftrefs as would
be produce i by war, and draw their resentment upon
us, intlcad of turning it upon their own government.
In that catirt irv hiug coul-.i be m ire popular than a
war with America; as .11 iutereft iu the p.efervation
of peace would i>e tak*n away. Whether it is the with
and intention of tut adiniiiiflration to produce this
late of things, we will uoc venture to fay. Bur we tun ft
lay that it is a molt deplorable fact, t! at while they are
■ thus clFciftuilly provoking hofhiitici, cmgrefs arc

to p epare us lor the lliock. Our country is now as
