——s • gpwuvfia .» from the American Daily Advertiser. j Mcfli'J, Claypoole, On perilling your paper of Monday, under the s;ad of New-York, dated July 22d, I read with •hat emotion which every philanthropic mind mud el, the unwarrantable arrest of tw# citizens o| -lie United States, named Davis and Martin. The ' C.nife of their being imptefie 1 was, they had neither 1 c -'documents to prove they were Americans ' their persons, which had much the refemblancft, 3 of iTk'n-of-wars-men, betrayed the officer into an * who took them out of the ship Chatham, at If an attivedifpofition had.been fhewri by the persons who ft* duty it was, to procure an r oith r.ttefled before Mr. Johnflonthe American Con 1 ■t in London, certifying the two n*.*n in question v ' Ie Americans, and delivered in before the Regu luting captain at that port, befoi-e they were fcnt oown to the Nore, it would have been ftriiUy at tended to. 'In reply to the latter part of the charge 1 >peaking of the non-attention to the certificates of citizenlfup, 1 beg to contradidl, as far as has rela- ted to myfelf, having commanded (hips many years, and within two years lad pad in particular. I have never loft a feainan who had a certificate of his ci tizenlhip about him, but have met the most polite treatment from officers of men of var and press gangs in general. The diabolical pra&ice of ta king meninto afervice, contrary to their inclination, ca cannot be defended, but a service once established 1,1 so extensive as the navy of Great-Britain, requires mi unjiift means to obtain men fuflicient to a'ufwer their purpose, for those flarioncd in the Weft or Ealt-indies efpepally. Mr. Johnfton does grant to certificates where the sailors have lfl none from their own country ; but to prevent their being impreOTed, they can obtain qne by applying 1 U to him, and the fee I have always ttnderftood was an emolument to the cletks for theii extra trouble attendant on that duty—and three weeks is long e- flt< Jiough for tailors to be strolling in Wapping; they his indeed generally contrive to part with their dollars in P r< much Jess time, and after they have (hipped again tht for their homeward paflage, the commander can col and ought to fee his men protested, independant St: of further expence, by a legal application to the A- wa merivan Consul. Indeed, I accuse my brother ? rt " commanders with negligence, for not feeing their men in |<?:fefiion of certificates of citizenffiip, at the P m time he pays them their month's advance, before he fails from home. This 'would effe&ually keep tha his crew togenheron an European voyage in parti- ancl lar. My motive for noticing this ide'rtion of York P' ei news, is no other than to declare truth and dete& " )a ' fallacy j for if opinions are formed by the seamen, ce " that proteaions are useless, we fhsll find much dif- P ed ficulty in procuring men to woik our fhipi, and untJ those we may get at most extravagant wages. 1 J.

(CONTINUED ) To complete the Duke's misfortunes, the city of Geneva, the foveieignty of which 4ie claimed, feizui thia opportunity to aifart axvd rwoW produced also that of the neighboring territories. The Genevans boldly asserted their independence noain.t the duke ; and by the afliftance of the Swiss canton of ® n S Berne, were (inabled to defeat all his efforts. Taking m advantage of his imbecillity, while overwhelmed by U the armies of France, they also fcized all thecsftles and' places of strength in the neighbourhood. The canton M of Berne at the fame time conquered the Pais de Vaud. The canton of Friburgh, too, although they had no r, quarrel with .the duke, were unwilling to lose so favor able an opportunity, and seized a considerable part of C Charles's territory. Being still retained by the two P art ' cantons, these acquifitisns have become the most valu- hrigh able part of their territory, and add considerably i 0 cloud their power. t The treachery of the marquis of Saluces was the means oi restoring to Charles many towns in Pied mout ; and this principality would have Seen re-cun- °° Nve quered with the fame facility that is reqaifite to march E ai through it, had not rhe governor of Fofiino detained the Imperial army a month before that inconfidera'ole citize place. Thui tiie treafoa of Saluces was checked. A peoph truce for three mor.ihs ensued ; this stipulated that 'the so each party fhoHld retain what they poflefTed. A truce w ;,h for ten years followed, in 1535, by which Francis I t • -wasfecured in poilefiinn of half the duke's dominions. The Emperor itil) retained polTefiion of the other cities I not ceded to the French, and the unfortunate duke 2 - found himfelf fliut up in Nice, the only corner of 3. which he kept pofTcfTion. He saw the reft divided be- I fence . tween a powerful invader and the ally to whose protec tion he had trullcd. I hus exhibiting a fad monument of the imprudence of those who, by taking part in < . the quarrel of mighty neighbors,.are frufhed and over whelmed ifi the fliock. 7. ' In 1543, war having broken out afrefh, the duke of ' Savoy was befiegcd in Nite by the French, in conjunc- '"ay so] tion with the Turkifli admiral BarbarolTa, who had and th been joined by a French flett with a body of land fore- diffuf,- es under the duke d'F.nguien. The town was gallant- • Iy defended by Montfeit, a Savoyard gentleman, who flood a general assault and rtpulfed the enemy, before he retired into the caftie.. In that fort, situated on a '"Y ' rock, on which the enemy could make no impression, 11. and H-hich could not be undermined, he held out i'o the frc long that Doria had time to advance with his fltet. Up- 12 on intelligence of this, the siege was raised. .l Shortly after this period Charles died. $y the trea tv of Chateau Cat ihrtfis in 1559, the dutchy of Sa- , '3" voy, principality of Piedmont, the country of BrefTc down u and moll of the other territories were restored to his '4' ion Philibert Emanuel, at that time commander of 15. the Spanish armies. .
