The late arrivals fromßourdeauJt, though
they might have bro't accounts to the middle
of March, do not appear to fnrnilh .my I'a
tisfaiftory, or authentic intelligence. One
French paper publi.hed in this city, gives the
mod dcplorabie account of the executions
which are flill continued there, and of the
great fearcity which prevails—while another
French paper fays that Bourdeaux is tranquil
—that the scarcity has not been felt as has
been published.
There are reports in circulation that
the embinjo in France was owing to the
American vefTels having fold their cargoes
of provifioiiSt in England and other ports,
and then repairing to Bourdeaux with
calh and credit only, to load for the Uiu- |
ted States ; and that the veflels whicli ar- \
rived here, were particularly released, be- ,
cause they had.carricd provisions dire&ly
to France. . ,

" This day a Certain Captain R—:—,
commanding a brig owned by Mr. Dela
port, of this town, was imprudent enough
to reverse the colours of the United S,tates
and hoi 11 the Britilh above. The People
of the Point, enraged thereat, called him
to account—but, instead of attempting to
vindicate himfelf,he abufedthe Americans,
their measures, government, &c. in the
molt opprobious language— upon which
he was tarred and ftathcred, brought to
town, and led through all the streets, ac
companied by a great concourse oPpeo

" I have alio to inform you, that two
B.fnfh brigs(privateerß) belonging to that
scoundrel Emery, of St. Kitts, have ar
rived at Norfolk. The Captains attempted
to evade being difovered, fecretedtheirguns
!» the holds of the veflels, where they were
buried in fait, and went under pretence of
procuring provisions. It being discovered
who they were, the inhabitants of the town
aflembled, fn'zed the vessels, and carted the
the two captains, clothed with tar and
feathers, through the principal .streets of
Norfolk. I had this information from
Pitt the Pilot, who fay 6 he was an eye-wit
nei'sto the scene the day before yesterday."
