Waterloo, * reprobates Bonaparte
for deserting his brave foidiers in
the fatal conflict; ot the 18th of
June. “ His brave guards,” fays
the fcribler, “ were all killed', and
yet theie were the men he desert
ed.” Why it should be necessary
for a general to remain with dead
folcfters, we are not iufficiently vers
ed in English military tatties to
comprehend: but it leems to us,
that when an army is cut to pieces,
if a general has been so fortunate
as to elcape the uluarl perils ot the
fight, he mutt be very obliging to
his enemy to flay and be killed

Captain Smi h, A the Ihip Eliza
Barker, arrived hom lurk'* Island, in
this harbor on fhurfday evening lalt,
which place he left on ;he ft mitart,
reports, that, a few hourb pitvious to
hit leaving Turk’s lflmd, his agent
came on b ard and intoimed him, that,
by the ajrivai of an Etxgiilh vtflei, in
tel ii>e‘ ce had been jult received of
the fi.iking oijm American brig of war,
which, if true, mutt have been L'Eper
vier The chcumftances related were,
that the brig had fallen in with an Eng
lifli 74-, ft’om which the was boarded
Afi cr the boarding officer having en
quued where JL/Epevviei was liom,
and being answered tha file liad been
difpafched from the Mediterranean by
Commodore Decattl*’ for the United
States, he demanded Lieutenant Shu~

was answered bv the Lieuienan , point
ing to the American flag, ‘ that fir is
the commiflion 1 kear n The Eugiifh
officer re umed to ins commander and
made his report ; upon which he was
remanded to the American veflei, with
a similar demand. To this the former
rejoinder was given ; he went to Ins
own (hip, and informed his captain.—
In 1 he mean time L’Epe.viermadefale;
which .he English commander perceiv
ing, fired a gun at her ; I/Epervier re
turned it ; when the Engl*(h ieventy
four opened her btoad fide upon the
brig and funk her. Cnpt. Smith heard
not whether any of her crew were sav
ed, nor the time or latitude iti which
the atrocious rranfa£tion was perpetrat
ed; bur. fays the above repor com
mon: v betievbd at iurk'a lfl.rnd.
We had formed our opinion that L*-
Epetvier perished in the severe galesof
last uguft, but captain Smith's report
is so ctrcumftantial in fomc refpedls,
that we *re almost induced to give it
credence. Still, we suppose, had it
been founded on fa£t, the name of the
fevenry four and the time of the horrid
deed could no more escape the oufy
tongue of rumour, dian Lieutenant
Shubrick's language. Should, howe
ver ;he fiend !ik malice of an English
capiajn have consigned our gallant
countrymen, in the hour of peace, to a
watry grave and sea weak wi. ding
flicei, America has no cause 10 bfiifh at
her children': deeds; for the finking of
L'Epeivier is another proof to those
which haveprevioufly taken place, that
neither fuperioi force nor the love of
life can induce our seamen to lubmit
to dishonor. Fame will inlcibe their
names on the page of immortality ...
“ There fir. is the commiflion I beard will
be the watch w’ord tor generations yet
to come, and rouse every free heart &
raise every hand now in our country to
appease the manes of.Shubrick and his

now no price The Engufhhave been
buying up large quantities in .the south
of France* and if what is reported is
true, mat this government have made
a treaty of commerce with England, in
which the manufactured cottons of
tha country will be recet ed here and
French inks admitted into England,-
otn trade will luffer to tins country,
as the englifh merchant will undersell
the manufacturer ot France, and thus
that branch which was becoming very

It is with great pain that I slate to
you how unpopular we are with the ■

I enclose you a piece which ap
peared here the other day against us;
and a copy of an answer laid to be writ

our citizens, Mr. dalpartas, of Charles

at the 1 heaire, with a Royalilt, who
called him over the next day. When
he came on the ground, he found fe
verai people there with his antagomll;
-some ot them were of the Royai Guard
in’ uniform ; they all fell on him with
their iticks and swords, and cut and
mangled him in a Blocking manner ...

all the authorities, no jultice can be

A great many places have refufed to
hoist the white flag the tri coior yet

also that that cession is viewed with
