On a confli f utional queftipn,
involving on the one hand the
life and liberty of the citizen,
and on the other, the force of
treaties and the good faith of the
nation, we have ufed great pre
caution. We with not to con
fide nor in r ame the public mind
with the crudities of every hot
brained zealot, but to give our
leaders a candid chfcuffton when
in our power, of a fuhjc6f fo
intereHing to all. We have
therefore Telexed the above two
writers, and, as they appear in
the Charlcfton paper, fhall lay
their fentiments before the read

Capt. Stafford of the Three
Brothers, left Hamburgh the
15th September ; and it does
not appear from the papers in j
poflTeftion of the editors, or the
verbal intelligence they could

furrendered any time previous |
to that date ; nor that any en

place in Holland, Italy or Swit

Capt, Taylor, of the brig
Nancy, arrived at New-York,
in 45 days from Cadiz, informs
that it was reported there when
he failed, that Sweden had de

idence gentlemen are much cele
j brated for this kind of bienfeance ,
j but have not as vet been able to
extend their p litcnefs to our go

confider the unexampled infults
and injuries continually heaped
on our commerce by the over
bearing Erglifh monarchy, and
all under the mafic of amity and
good will , ir would feem that our
independence is buta gratuitous
tenure, held by the grace and
favor of Great-Britain, and the
grant of which fhe has of late
years reminded.
But we have rcafon to believe
that the fp rit which prevailed
again ft our oppreftbi s in '75 is
again roufed, and will induce
the molt prompt and efficient
fteps in behalf of our abufed
flag and indignant countrymen.
CHARLESTON, Nov 21.
A gentleman who arrived yef
terday in the {loop from New
port, mentions, that the frigate
United States faded for France
on the 3d inflant. The follow
ing paragraph, bom a New-York
paper of the 6.h mftant, confirms
i that the comnuftioncrs, McfTrs.
I
Ellfworth and Davie, are gone
in her ; ' |
] “ The hon Oliver Fllfworth
! and gov. Davie, two of the com
rniffioners appointed by our go
vernment to treat with France,

Exiraft of a letter from a gent 1 e
man in Havannak , to the editors
of this paper , dated the 2qth of
OElober , 1799.
1 he current of politics
has taken a turn with refpeft to
: the French : none are peimitted
to come heie, on any pretence;
if they do, they arc obliged to
return in the fame veflel, and a
war betw’cen France and Spain
is thought inevitable. This
change is in confeqiicnce of a
vague report, of the Spanifh
fleet being detained at Breft,
which repo it comes by the way
of New-York.
“ About three weeks ago, in ■
the Gulph, not far bom this
place, an American fchooner of
1 4 guns, which left ih»s po»t lor
Baltimore, fell in with a Provi
dence privateer of the fame num
ber of guns, and fifty four men. |
After fome difagreeablc and|
haughty language of the latter, |
he infixed on boarding the for
mer, winch was denied him, and
to prevent it, the American
found it neceftary toufe his guns.
After two broadfides, the priva
teer blew up, and the whole
•ciew perifhed, except the boatf
-1 wain and ten men, who fayed 1
themfelves in the boat, and a
few days after wjerc taken up by
a Salem brig, and brought in
here; two have lince died, and
the ternainder are in gaol. The
pi ivatecr was renowned for prey
ing on the defenceless trade of'
America lor a long time pall."
Verbal reports, which we have I
not been able to trace to their I
origin, Hate, that the captain of
the above mentioned privateer
announced to the American
capfa'n, on his refuling to be
boarded, that no quarters would
be given, and immediately ho fl
ed tire red dag ; that the aftion
taued two hours, before the pri
vateer blew up: and that after
wards, when the men who re
mained alive on the wreck beg
ged to be taken ofF, the Amcri
ican captain pointed to their
bloody enfigrr, and left th»’in.
We have not learnt the name
of either of the velfels, nor of
the American captain : Mi'ltr is
faid to be the privateer captain's
name.
