Before the Declaration of War,

of in the federal paper* ?
Sinre the DecUracio.l of War,
do not the federal papers publiih
complete catalogues of ail toe cap

they eto : t this before, and do it
now ?
Ii about fisc weeks, nearly an
hundred privateers have been ft ted
out of American ports, to cru ze
s;*ainft the Biitilh. Or n>w m-;ny
c thefe privateers can you rind any

Within rhe faro: time American

Mmy atrocious irnflV*res and
robberies were comm ted by the

by oiK gvrnrnent. Why have

Of u wards of 6000 American,

ti.at 1 much g eater number are dc

have not been able to make their

Arc you content wrh thu ? Do
yo 1 want to fee nn news but what is
