Baltimore, April ‘29.
From Canada. —lt is (fated, on
the authority of letters from Buffa
lo, that the parliament of Upper
Canada has passed a law for the
seizure of all the American proper
ty that has been or may be receiv
ed into the province, which is to
remain in a (late of sequestration
until the will of the Britiffi cabinet
is known.
The pretence is, that there is no
treaty of commerce between the
United States and Great Britain.
These people ought to re(le£f, that
within three months, we may have
British property in our ports to the
value of many millions.
From the Boston Patriot of March 25.
Latest from Halifax. —On Thurs
day last arived at Salem, two cartel
brigs, fix days from Halifax , bring
ing about 260 of our counnfimv’n,
0.01)2 have been prisoners at that place.
a ■
Ail the prisoners that tfe have
seen, agree that their treatment in
the Halifax prisons was brutal and
barbarous in the extreme. They
speak particularly of capt. Nelson ,
of Philadelphia, who had formerly
been a warm friend of the Engiifh.
There can be no doubt but Ills
death was Droiueed. and intended
I
to be produced, by the malignant
savages who fuperinten led and di
rected the affairs of the prison.
Ellis, however, was but one in
(lanee among many others, The
British had evidently adopted an
inhuman system, by which to break
down the spirits , the health and the
constitutions of our unfortunate
countrymen. A proof'd this was
the great number of deaths which
took place. From the ist of Jan
uary to the 12th of March there
were fifty deaths ! A lea man, who
was taken in tire Dele ware, and
who had been in prison at Halifax
for twenty months, informed the
editors of the Salem Gazette, that
in that time as many as three hun
dred prisoners had died. V'/hile
British prisoners have uniformly
been well treated in American pin
ions, and while on Chnibnas and
thanksgiving days they have, in
many itiffances, been flaked with
roasted turkies and other delicacies,
the bread given to our brave, but
unfortunate countrymen, was not
only frequently foully, but fome
times contained fubfiances of the
mod noxious quality, bach asghfs,
pins, nails, tobacco, chips, dirt &c.
A certain Scotchman, by the
name of VP Donald, who .acts un
der the British government as phy
fician to the American prisoners at
Melville IfLmd, dNerves to be in
troduced to the inhabitants of the
United Stares. He is a person oi
low datura and florid complexion,
with a countenance highly indica
tive of ignorance and dogmatifin.
He is in manners a clown, 6c in phy
sic a quack. He is an inveterate
enemy to all that bear the name of
American, though the lives of our
countrymen have been placed in
his care While acting in his offi
cial capacity, he employs himfejf m
dealing out bolules and curses, as
may be mbit agieeable to his hu
mor. The latter however, have
been found to be much the more
harnlefs of the two—for leaden
bullets, dilcharged from British
tnufkets, were never so fatal as the
poisonous remedies of this con
temptible empiric.
Should this picture ever attract
the notice of the original, he may
rest affined that it was drawn by
one who knows him well. A his
tory of his conduct would be a hif
tcry of the darkest malevolence,
matured and brought into a-ftion
by the low cunningof a Scotchman.
It is to be hoped that the case of the
unfortunate Nelson will yet be un
folded to the world. The disclo

fadts would (how who were accom
plices in the murder of an American

the numerous infiances of villany.

We learn that on the arrival of

THE late revolution in
France although not the mod mo
mentous, is perhaps the most strik
ingly remarkable in modern His
tory. The apparent inadequacy of
the means employed, the grandeur
of the object - , the celerity of its ac
coniplifiiment, give it more the ap
pearance of romance than reality ;
while the political consequences likely
to ensue to Europe and the world
at large make it one of the mod im
portant events the world ever wit
nessed.
Bonaparte in his add refs to the
Army* and the People and in his de
crees has sketched the outlines of
his future political course. It may
be summed up in a very few words
—He renounces foreign conquefi
and domination, and confines hi-,
views to France.
A boundless field of curiouty
and conjeclure instantly opens iifelf
to the politicians of Europe, in
which all fpeeulaiion must for the
present be hypothetical and conse
quently vague. What are his
views upon Spain, upon Holland ,
upon Italy, and the Rhinifh powers
—what are his relations with the
Emperor—whether he would Rand
a quiet fpeefiator of the difmemher
ment of Turkey , or the incorpora
tion of Saxony and the remainder of
Poland with Prussia and Russia—
whether he will follow up the
measures of the late King for the
reduction of Sr. Domingo—are
fome of the enquiries which present
themselves.
Thus after more than twenty
years struggle at an expense of
fob J ar.d treads re profufe beyond
example; the nations o Europe,
wasted, bleeding, panting from the
conflict are fullered but cue year to
repose from thrfo toils. They have
jnfi trod round the circle and find
them so Ives where they began.
Ail Europe *s in motion. We
learn (how true we know net) that
4 or 500,000 men are in motion,
and nearly as many more in reserve
to act again It the Emperor of
France. Ihe Belgic provinces
(between Holland and France) are
to be the fi iieatre of the firft ope
ratious, and the reluk of these will
or comic dev elope or lhape the
further views of trie contending
parties.
Indepsn;.fohd y of that interest
i wnicu is involuntarily connected
with our admiration of such a ge
nius,as ttiat or Bonaparte, we cer
tainly have Hale concern in tiio
clung of masters- on tire other con
tinent.
We look, cr ought to look, on
the rapid tramiiions of their (hik

ter plot digs, coalitions and ruptures
only as an exhibition, splendid and
various indeed, but uninteresting
to us, only as we regard the geat
iaterefts of.fufiering humanity.
Looking hill to our own country,
Lie only enquiry of r -al importance
is, how is it to a fled us ? AV
(peculation on this fubjed mult
come at ia.lt to tliis hypothesis
If our conduct of the laie war
nas given such weight and strength
to our national charader as to er. -
able us to preserve our neutrality
we ihulfo probably reap as mucji
: profit in that situation as formerly,
by the expotaiions from the South
j - ern, and carrying trade of the E a fi
fe rn dates
But if the great belligerents (hculd
renew their depredations on our
citizens and commerce so as to
drive us from our neutrality, ou:
last reliance must be, where it ever
has been, on I.leaver and ourselves. -
