Sir. t '
I HAVE waited with the '
utmoft the receipt of 1
vour further opinion on the '
fubjea of my late abufe on J
board of the Rritifh fbip Daphne,
by capt. Maifon, but am difap
pointed with aftoniffiment at
not receiving any letter or even
a fcarp from you on the fubjeft
It is my incontrovertible opin- ‘
ion, fir, and I prefume that you
mud admit that impartial juftice ;
is due to all men, in all countries
whatever, but more particularly
under a liberal and inde
pendent government as in thefc
(lates. #
Can you think the fubjrft of
too trifling a nature to merit the I
attention of this government ?
I certainly think that you cap. j
not— how then is it that you do !;
not deign to adviTe me on the
? The reafon I cannot
imagine, except it be this, that,
the infotmatiori which you re-1 1
ceivedfrom capt. Truxton, led ;
you into the error of fuppofing
that my depofition and the pro
of's corroborating oaths were
faille.
I now enclofe to you the de
pofition of Jacob Groce, who
was 1 Teaman on board of the
fchooner Betfey, at the time
alluded to, which will corrobo
rate with the fa£h dated in my !
proteft, nor have I any other j
evidence to fuimfh, unlefs I
could procure the depofitions of
Tome one or more of the officers
of the fhip Daphne, who arc
juft and impartial, who were
eye witneffes to that dreadful
fcenc (but I conceive it as not
neceffary) will you but take the
trouble to review the fubjeJl im
pa.tially, and compare the evi
dence of my people (which is
delivered in the prefence of God
More a public officer) with that
orma tion which you received
bom capt. Truxton, y OU will
undoubtedly be convinced of
u- L U . th . of our
I think would be admit
ted m law, when the word of
honor of a Britifh officer or any
other man would be excluded.

a note at the foot of my proteft,
when publifhed in the Salem

To the PUBLIC,
In the course of laft fall, a
perfon fubferibing himfelf “ No
Britifh Debio*-, announced, in
the Virginia Gazerc, that Mr,
JefFerfon was infolvent. He in
termixed a quantity Of abomin
able fluff, which the edi dr, Mri
Davis, rejuled to print !
This calumniator was caVcd
upon, in the Examiner, to p o
ducc his proofs. He pleaded
ficknejs as an exciife for his fi
lence, but promifed upon his
recovery to give an explanation.-
Me has recovered, and is 'aid
to be now in Richmond ; he has
again been defined by the Ex
aminer to exhibit his evidences,
but he continues blent.

ROYAL SPORT.
An ANECDOTE.
" One of the greatefl enjoy
ments of Chares ill. king of
Naples, was, of fkinning
live rabb ts. His ingenuity
vifed new modes of putting them
to death. He was accuflorncd
to lie in wail tor them, in the
narrow paf/CS through which *h e )
were driven; and, armed with a
club proportioned to his flrengtn.
his paflime was, to lay about
among them, exulting in L'ui
peals of laughter at thrir deft me
tton. To vary his dive* fion, he
had rabbds, dogs, and cats
trjfed in a blanket) and putfned
this fport 'till they expired. The
natural effieft of this amnfement
was, to excite a curiofity how
it would operate upon men, and
he accordingly extended his
pleafure to tolling men in blan
kets. Lords , fea r ants , foldiers ,
and tverc hurled up in'o
the air in the moll grotefque
a titudes." This was kingly,
piftime ! Though a rifibility is!
excited, my bread nfes indignant 1
at the thought of all fuch rofcals !
and it behoves us to take dre
that we arc neither finned nor
