Jonathan Rchbns
tt is at length, aster a deal os
par s, discoveied that Jonathan
Rohhins the American vistim to
the Pritish treaty, was rot a na
tive os the United States; and
on the authoiity os a Britissi
newspap r, declared, that at the
j place os execution he consdled
j him Tels to be an Irishmarl, All
this may be true : but it is a
curious method os adminisseiing
iußice, to crque os town < lerks.
See, to piove a mat ‘s nativity,
aster he has betn gibleFed iuo
mon/hs It is him like
an hip,man indeed. Suppolr
the rtsulc os the enquiry had
been, that the poor sellow was
sirealitvan American—os what
svnesit w’onld it be to his bleach
ing bones ?
1 he s st is. the man was de
livered up to the Pritish unde*
the idea, Tupporled by unconieJUd
documents, os h ! s be ing a native
Ameiican ; and all the diseove
ties that could be sublequemly
made would not assest the cale
in any point whatever, as they
can* ot be luppo'ed to have in
sluenced the minds os those by
whom this vistim ro soreign as
cendanry was lacriTreed. Is we
rightly lecoilest, the idea os his
being an b nglissiman wa? not
even Harted by the British coun-
Tel on the tiial ; but ihe per sen
was sui rendered as an American ,
under an article os the treaty
that would lubjest every Ame
rican under similai ciicumslances
to the Tame sate. It is well
enough, sor the sake osargument,
to prove the guilt or innocence
os a man ; but it would b. heuer

I would let him have som a os

I had saved a little money,
