COMMUNICATION.
BUO NAPARTE.
Of all the inflances of eonfummate im
pertinence, his letter to the King of Great
Britain, See. is the greatest ; and it is not
only imp-rtinent, but alio a compleat dit
play of duplicity. A vagabond exalted by
plunder, rapine, and the mod extravagant
enormities, to the head of a band of French
Robbers ; a caitiff who but a few davs be
fore, knocked down the constitution he had
sworn to defend ; presumes to write to the
Majesty of England with proposals of peace !
What confidence can be criven to fucll a Gal
lic Jt !i n afl' lfin i none • The upflart rep
tile, guarded by his accomplices in ullainy,
dois rut vwAnt peace : that is not his-»bje<ft.
In peace he woula loon tumble to his native
i)ifigiuht.anCc ; nut hiving pruiniied peace to
the dcltd.'d Sanfcuklte tube, he writes a
letter, ai d expects to t , in prpul rrity,-by the
manly and Noblf rc-lufalof the British nation.
The frothy tribe, his il ives.w ill cryjviv'eßuo

ly Hi ill the manly condud\ of Britain, had

Envoys to treat with a n ition, wh;;ie
c;;rdyft has ever been deceit and treachery,
*nd who, fines their infernal
have arrived at the cliuiax «f every species
ef atrocity and infamy. Their neiv pjltrv

Inf.ead of Liberty and Equality, the mean
•Hg ui which they do not undeill.uid, their
motto ought tone.
Tyranny, Robbery and Murder.
Time serving newspapers, whole henora
ble oftce it ii to dc'.v. in duty records of
p. it ate venom againlt an illusions nation,
reiterate with great av':dily, the (lory of a
> Certain captain of this port, who tells us how
he was brought to by the Biitilh cutter
Sparrow,—how be was ordered on board
t-id Sparrow, and how he was detained 5 or
6 hauis ; how he was called « * danin'd
Yankey rascal, for giving H. M.'s cutter
futh a chafe," how the British captain abaifed
him, and how the failing matter robbed the
Tffffcl. Then follows a detail of his treat
ment by the Loweftoffc, where, after much
of the fame he intorms u<, the
captain paid him ieventy dollars to make up,
as he fays, the depredations of his men, call
ed him " a danm'd fcnundrel," "ayankey
rafcil," and dittniffed him. Of the evil iir
tentions of the men who difieminate these
reports, no doubt can be entertained ; the
captains may propagate theinfrom ignorance,
or any other motive.
To charge a failing-tnafler of a British
nun of war, with stealing time-glare s, lan
t- orns, tin-pots, sailors' cloetbs and meat
in soak, is evidently not only the height of
fcaudal and malice, but absurdity. Forwhy
fiioulr! a failing-m.tfter fieal these articles
above all ethers ! Bcfides, if heft.le the ar-
tides, h* must have carried them a'loaid his
own (hip 5 and if lie carried them aboard l is
own (hip, the captain mui> have keen nude
a pa'rUkcr of this imputation.
would be thought of the propaga
tion ol'iuch a fiory as this, of on; of ,>ur of
ficers, ill t!,e Eritil-h lStfwfpajrrs ? Can ativ
prrduce inltancrs i : such detradv.i;'?
If this American captain w;,s realiy robbed
ty the Britifli officer, he mult be :,Bie to
prove it ; ami lie mull know, that by prov
ing "> pofTelTes full power to execute not
6nly'jufVice, but vengeance against tlte rub-'
ber. Why, therefore, inllrad of reporting
the circumstance in form of a calumny against
the whole nation,—why does he not go to
Mr. Lifinn, and formally arraign the officer j
-as a thief ?
The childish complaint, of the application
ot terms ot reproach to him, by a man :n
---ten&a at being needlefdy vexed-by a long
arid fruitlefs chafe, merits the Iftg'beft con
tempt. I repeat here, what I have before
aflerteJ, that it has been in a' great measure
owing ti> the mercenary tales cf unprincipled,
lying iailors, that onr government bas been
tricked intoalmoft all the errors and follies
it has committed. But f®r these men, there
is fom * degree of excuse on the score of ig
norance : The conduit of the feoundrel
Printers, who, with jdyous grin, reiterate
their tales, is assignable only to a base ana
daflardtv malice.
As it is pufiible tb.it this may be the only
SieJium through which the information may
reach him, I have now the honor to acquaint
His Excellency Robert Lifton, Esquire, that
these reports, affefting so deeply, (wherever
believed) the honor of the British navy, ai,d
the charafter of the B:i ifh nation, are al
ferted by a Captain Kennedy, of the fchoon
ex Nancy, of Philadelphia ; published in fer
♦eral base newfpajters in Philadelphia, and,
in the courle of two cr three weeks, will
appear in an hundred others, throughout the
Continentto the end that a scrutiny may
take place.
The endless Priefilcy has publj/hed ano
ther Pamphlet: this is ludicrously entitled
" The Do&rine of Phlegiftofi established,
and that of the Composition of Water
refuted." The new Doftrine of Airs,
though it be of French origination, is
a mountain -which the infidelity of this vain
and voluminous old Sophist, will never re
move. He may to pamphlets add Oftavos,—j
to Odavos, Quartes, ponderous as that of,
" Priestley on Optics,"—and all will avail j
iira nothing. The fafhion of PhlogiAen

aflimilates itfelf d.ily more and nx re to that
ot * Spider. What ot the mighty proauft
sis his labor is not noxious to mankind, is
ufeleis alike jto then: and to niuilcif. The
web ot his Religion and his l'tiilofophy 11
equally Hiuify ; and now, pieced by Hartley
and by Ferriar, though he may seek by pam
phlet upon pamphlet to rep ir it, it will 110
longer retain even a contemptible Fly.
It is all times unpleasant to fail under
the necessity of contracting the ltat.-ment ot
a gentleman who (filing nil tied l.imfel£ by an
uniform candor .1 t»d urbanity of deportment.
How much more so, (inn, who to'gentility
o demeanotir, adds h rigid adherence to
irutb Ihe Aurora has fiated that a large
number of triends to leoverument, among
whom are said to have been Mr. ,Doyle,
- li. StrirkVr, and Mr. Armstrong, went the
roui.cis at Lancafler, beating- up the cuartjrs
o t. e Republicans, at the breaking up of
the Aflenibiy ; and that at one ofthehoufes
villi by them, viz. Slaytnaker'Sj thev ihe't
wuh a compleat defeat, Mr. Doyle having
his arm fraftiirrd in three places. Albeit,
though painful to us aioret'aid, we are necef
litated to fay, that the above is a (heer fall'-'
hood ; and the useful reflect:9iis, on the c>-
tnil,fiance,following, which begin :—"thus
do the pretended friends .to order ivery where
aiftmguilh themielves by not and violence/' j
kc. are of course, though we are pained as
at ore fa id, to repeat it, equally fa Ift and :
groundiefs. The « large patty" confided !
of the former and the latter of thole gentle- 1
men ; and the attack was commenced not ■
by them, bat upon them by the Republicans, j
.'eventeen in number, whom they for a long
tune kept at bay, knocking down numbers, !
until an unlucky accident threw Mr. Doyle
into their power ; when Mr. Armstrong al- j
fa fell, and they were, indeed, both unmerci- 1
fnl'y abused by these cowardly friends to'
the Rights of Men, and Mr. Doyle's arm
aiSunlly broken ; happy to escape even thus,
both him and his friend having been
threatened with dssth.
