More British Aggression !
On Monday the 27t.t ult. arrived"at Nor-
wich, (Conn.) the mate and three people be-
longing to the schr. Betsy, captain Cary,
which left that place a few weeks since on
11 fishing voyage. They state that several
days after their departure, they fell' in with
•a British cutter mounting 8 twelve pound-
ers and i4 swivels, who after firing three
guns, which passed very near them, board-
ed, armed with pistols and cutlasses- after
considerable abuse they ransacked her hold,
Starting barrels of cider, beans, provisions,
itc. Not content with this, these myrmi-1
dons cut their cod lines in pieces, rendering
the Betsy completely unlit for her intended
¦jj#i%age.
And to complete the whole, the crew
m were alj (except the captain) carried on
fit^F board Ike cutter and detained 24 hours,
I without any thing to eat or drink. The
schr. has arrived at Plymouth.
[Norwich paper."\
From the Washington Federalist.
We are indebted to a friend in town for a
'Bermuda Gazette of the 18th ult. from
which we copy the following remarks on
the outrage committed by the British ship
of war Leopard upon the Chesapeake.
These remarks are worthy the greater
nonside-ration for having been written, as
we are told, either by the governor or
attorney-general of Bermuda. Should
the government of England insist upon
the right here contended for, that of
searching national vessels, we see not
i how a war between the two countries
can be avoided. To concede the right,
on our part, would be to surrender our
independence. National ships, we be-
lieve, are and ever have been considered
as national territory ; and any attack on
them must ,be considered equally an act
of war with the invasion of our country.
A considerable sensation has been excited
tt. (fax United States, in consequence of the
attack made on the 2ad June, by his ma-
jesty's ship Leopard, upon the U. S. frigate
Chesapeake, to recover four men who had
deserted from H. M. ship Melampus, and
who (though regularly claimed by our min-
ister, from the executive of the U. States)
were refused to ba restored. It would be
premature in us to offer many comments
upon this transaction ; of which we have
only a partial account from the American
prints. It cannot however escape observa-
tion, that, even in this partial account, it is
left doubtful whether the seamen were all
native Americans. The conclusion to be
drawn from the American papers is that all
or at least some of the men were British sub-
jects ; for one account mentions that two,
an ther that three, of the men were Ameri-
cans ; and the U. States' Gazette fairly ad-
mits, that it is d mbtful whether the men
were native Americans or not. But this
paper observes, that admitting them to be
British subjects, thg Butish commander had i
no right to take them by force out of the 1
Chesapeake. If this be the issue between
the two countries it will not require much
discussion to settle it. The right of reclaim-
ing her own seamen, wherever they my be
found, is what Great-Britain has always as-
serted, and what we trust she never will re-
linquish. The right of search is admitted,
even by the Ameri««ns, to be necessary to
maratime capture, can it then with any re-
gard to consistency, be denied that the right
of reclaiming seamen is equally necessary to
maritime capture? These men, (whatever their
national character,) are admitted to have been
deserters from the Melampus ; they are id-
nutted to have been demanded by our mi-
nister, from the American government, who
refused to restore them, as did also the cap-
tain of the Chesapeake, when they were
demanded of h:m. These admissions ap-
pear not merely to justify the British com-
mander, but to have rendered his conduct
necessary, to support the character of the
nation. With what justice then, or regard
t.) decency, does the Norfolk committee of pub-
lic safely* apply the epithets, assassin like,
piratical' and co'wardly, to the conduct of
captain Humphiys : In their heat these gen-
tlemen appear to have overlooked the mean-
ing of the terms they thought proper to
use. Was it assassin like in Humphries, to
send a letter, with orders to commodore
Ban on, and to allow half an hour to decide
whether he would oblige them to be execut
ed ? Was it piratical for the commander of
a king's ship to obey the orders of his supe-
rior officer ? But it seems it was cotvardly
in Humphreys, to attack the Chesapeake,
when her powder was damp, and her cables
coiled over her guns.
In the first place, how was Humphreys to
imagine that any ship of war could be in a
state to make it necessary to plead her insu-
bordination and want of discipline as an ex-
cuse for a partial resistance. Uul in the next
place, if capt. II. had known this, could he
have assigned it as a reason to his command-
ing oilicer, for not obeying his orders ?
Com. Barron bad his choice, either to give
up the men, or to be tired into , and he pre-
ftm-d the latter.
¦n iwVeral instances of cap-
tains of British ships of war allowing
crews to be examined by officers of American
states ships, ill search of'.deswrters.
Jf congress met immediately, it is not im-
1,- that in their passion tilery might
have declared war. •¦ Such an event would he
much tc be deprecated ; but should it unfor-
tunately be thec.ise, it will not be difficult
to decide who were the aggressors.
* Their proceedings justify this title.-—
Who that reads them would conjecture that
there ii'.is any thing like regular government
at Norfolk ?
From the Evening Post.
My communication of Monday last,
though written with the best intentions, had
an effect which by some may be esteemed
injurious to the cause 1 espoused : for no
sooner had the negro-stealers heard of hang-
ing, ducking, &c. than their natural aver-
sion to a well-merited rope or strangulation
in any other way, caused them to " clear
out;" and if any have since visited our city
the trade of blood is carried on in a more
private manner than it has hitherto been .
It therefore becomes the friends of humani-
ty to be more upon the alert.
I am assured, from the most respectable
source, that the highest constituted authori-
ty ofthe city will co operate to the utmost
extent of the laws with any citizen or citi-
zens who can give information on matters of
fact relative to this nefarious business.—
We can therefore make an appeal to the
lavs and try their efficacy.
Since the appearance of my essay, a writer
inyourpapcrunder thesignatureof1'A.^V."
has taken wp the subject. I have read his
production with pleasure ; and entertained
hopes that before this time he would have
laid his plan of association before the pub-
lic, which, I believe, I suggested. As
this has not been the case, I respectfully re-
quest that you would publish the annexed
advertisement, the object of which is to
bring the case to issue ; in the mean time
I should be much pleased to see •' A- W's"
plan, as leading to an immediate organiza-
tion of any association that may be formed.
To the friends of Ilumanitv.
A meeting of the citizens of Baltimore
who view with abhorence the infamous traf-
fic carried on in this city by unprincipled
and wicked men, and are desirous of secur-
ingtothe unfortunate negro those rights which
the laws entitle him to receive, as well as
to unite in endeavors to amelierate his con-
dition, is requested at Fulton's Inn, on
Thursday evening next, at half past 7 o'clock,
for the purpose of taking into considera-
tion the propriety of forming a society to
carry their wishes into effect.

JUSTICE.
_
On Wednesday morning last, the body of
a young man genteelly dressed, was found
dead on the shore at Wheehawk, near the
monument of gen. Hamilton. Information
was immediately given to the Coroner, and
the body was conveyed to the city of Jersey,
where an inquest \ as held. On examina-
tion it appeared that he had shot himself
through the head with a ball from a large
horse-pistol, which tore off part of his ear.
His name was J. A. Bertell, a foreigner,
about the age of 20 years. Two letters
were found in his pocket, one addressed to
the person who might find his body, the
other to a gentleman at Brooklyn. In these
letters he signifies his intention of destroy-
ing himself—that he was tired of his life—
and could not bear the idea of his beloved
(whom he stilts his Matilda) being in the
arms of another.
In one of thest^tters is his will, bequeath-
ing two-thirds of his property to Matilda,
and the remainder to the family of the gen-
tleman abovementioned. The lettersaie dated
the 27th instant, and '.t is supposed he per-
petrated the horrid deed on that day. On
Monday afternoon he was seen near the
monument ith a book in his hand, and, on
being observed, drew his h»t Over his eyes.
The book was found on the ground by his
side, and was the " Sorrows of Wertcr."
It lay open at the place where W< rter writes
to Charlotte—" They are loaded—the clook
strikes fwebue—/ go—('harlotte ! Charlotte !
farewell! farewell !" That and several
other passages in the book, cq«responding
with his unhappysituation. were marked by
him with a pen. [_N. Y. Gaz.]
PROPHECIES.
A new edition of a very old book has just
been published at Paris : it is entitled,
Everlasting Prophecies, from the year 1521
to the end of the world. The academy of
sciences, at Paris, is said to have transmit-
ted this little work of 54 pages t the minis-
ter Louvois ; and, what is still more, to
have found it invariably correct for the last
140 years. Of the year 1806, it is said—
Let people procure a supply of oats and com-
modities, for at the end of August com-
mences a great war, which extends to many
regions. The people suffer death and great
Calamities.. In 1S07, a great quantity of
snow will fall in the beginning of February
—•many inundations. The m.st important
prophecy relates to the year 1811—It will
be difficult to preserve the cattle through
the severity of winter ; from that year a
peace of a whole century will be enjoyed by
Christendom : bread, wine and clothing
•w ill then be cheap. [London paper."]
