Before the Declaration of War, the BriGh had taker* sl7 cf our veftils.—How rainy of ucle cap lines did you ever fee ar.y account of in the federal paper* ? Sinre the DecUracio.l of War, do not the federal papers publiih complete catalogues of ail toe cap tures b>r the Britilh ?—Wny did 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 iiipnnon in the federal papers ? Within rhe faro: time American private's hrve raptured probably i7v.re tha ift y B i'.fft vefiT Is.

Of u wards of 6000 American, icapielT and br thr Bri.fh b >ard their flips of war, w have hadof ficLl accounts—the probab.lty is, ti.at 1 much g eater number are dc ta ned in their hated fervicc, who have not been able to make their cafes known to their government or tieir friends. Hive your federal papers given you full information on this hea; t- moving fubjedt ? Thoubinds of Volunteers of both parf’es have tendered iheir fervices to Government to carry on the war. Have vou leea in the federal pa pers a Angle inflancc o* this patTi otifm recorded ? Arc you content wrh thu ? Do yo 1 want to fee nn news but what is unfavorable to your own country, a 1 favorable to G eat Britain ? W u:d you not like to have leen / imn account of B .c fh captures before the war a* wrll at after-— l of our force b Da, as well as theirs— *f captures hr our privateers, *3 well as hr JhviTh flips cf war—of the murders and plunders g which has rouGd all ..or weS>r;.i brtcltren in *■ in— f the thouUnds of cur ci tizens dr ip;gevl and detained in & fo reign IVrvi —if the pairiotifrn of tic who manfully flep forward to aflVrc the rights, and to avenge the your country ?—Would you not, in fiiurt, love to fee all the inteicftirg and important news ns it occur ? What prevents it from being furndhtd you bv your pa pers? Is it love of the Brie fh go vernment—or hatred of ihcir o**n —that induces your printers to fup prri's it ?—Think fen mCD of thefe Qutftion3. True America*. i Army Regulations.
