nevertheless forced to confess weighty faults it
it which must infallibly ruin their author. We
are forced to admit that he has displayed lie
knowledge of men and tilings ; that be was igno
rant to the last moment of the dispositions and
state of France; that he knei not howto hold
the reins of government with steadiness ; that tin
nally after a reign of eleven months during which
his authority was decaying from hour to hour, he
has lost the throne in a single duv. I ask every
enlightened man if such a pr.nce can govern
Trance. &
I demand if one can rally with any plausibility
round a king who always takes to flight in try
ing circumstances ; who never put himself at the
head of a party, even when two millions of men
were are armed in his cause ; who dared not re
enter his native land but with an odious escort
of enemies’troops ? i ask what guarantee, v hat
security a king oilers lor the future, arrived at
an age when he can change n<> more, and all
whose errors are so inherent in his character,
that lie m>ght have committed them at 30 veins
of age as at 60. Ixntis XVIII. is not lit to gov
cin. He neither knows how to exorcise autho
rity of himself nor to choose skilful ministers to
exe:-cise it in his name; he is neither a man of
.lead to plan, nor amanof execution. In fine lie
lias g.ven us his measure by the elleminacy ofliis
conduct on the throne, anti the rapidity ofliis

The count IT Artois has received from nature
neut'.er discernment of mind nor clearness'of
judgment. Light and superficial, an education
m which the pupil disappointed the cares of tlie
mast er has ieft him uninformed A boisterous
-•nil dissipated youth debarred him from even
th.ng solid, and rendered him incapable ofappli.
cation and study. He lias a brainless scull which
can imbibe or retain nothing. Tlie heart of the
count o’Artois is better than his head. He some*
tunes hits qn a few lucky phrases which make
n.ucii in h:s behalf, but good sense docs not sup
port the neetin^ advantage ; reason comes not in
aid of some amiable qualities, and from a cer
tain facility of manners, very frivolous advanta
ge i mcecd to a prince on the steps of a throne,
t “ might please for a moment; but viewed near.
6r we neeessar.ly behold an abs. lute unlitness for
business, a despend.ng incapacity ; and th >
prince saw vanish in an instant, the presages that
Jacmated the eye of admirers which lie had con
ciliated by engaging manners.
. * ll° w‘s^ *° sketch in lively colors the na
tional failing which siinialized the entrance of d’
Artois into the council ; it is enough that i:
bears tlie name of French, for me to desire ex
punging such a stain from our history. We may
forgive this prince, but never name him for chief
—he is t *n times mare imbecile Ilian his brother
he is totally destitute of genius. Easy to be
approached, and still inorqeasy to be overcome,
he has just passed from tlie domination of woman
under the empire of courtesan sand priests. A
blind devotion supplies in his heart the place of
•.he last mistress, at whose tomb beseems to have
1 ud the p.-us.ons ofyouth. With so few of the
qualifications for governing—will it be believed
Lie count d Artois is not without ambition ? He
longs for a throne and promises imprudently to
his cronies great changes in the order of things,
li he once occupy tlie highest rank. In the same
manner tins prince, inveigled by his confiJants
and by a certain conceit in himself, has alreadv
♦ried the part he hopes one day (o play. There
was formed in his interior a little se|iei*r,tc gov
<*mment. I .‘us government had its ministers,
its administrators, judges and agents in France;
it paralysed the exercise of the royal authority;
it defeated or retarded at least, by a secret infill
mice, the execution of measures publicly ordered
--U cond;mned all the cessions wh-ch Lotus 13th
beuevid himself obliged to make to the nation.
7 -.31/7 anrwer fbr tftefvture [when arrived at the
throne! is an expression tli/.t escaped the indis
crct.on of tliis prince, wlio never pronounced the
names of constitution and liberty, except in the
last extremity when he thought that he could re
gain by oaths atul promises the decayed hearts
that had been lost. Such arc the talents, tem
per ami conduct of the count d*Artois ; thus our
prospect was to have a prince for a king, a stran
ger to the knowledge of the age, [aux lumineres
<lu sieclel and who is not even the shadow of one
who could maintain himself a single year on the
throne of France Thus at the accession of cotint
d’Artois a revolution would happen in 6 months,
and our country be a prey to fresh distentions.'
Whence comes it that talents and capacity
degenerate in this family with a progress so swift
and rapid ? Fne duke of Angouleine, destitute
of the external advantages of his father, but per
•onutiv brave they* sav, knows nothing—can learn
nothing. As a soldier, a simple subaltern is
more accomplished than he : in civil life he
knows not the very el.ments of administration
u:i:l conceives nothing of the motion of a gotern
raent. lie would be utterly incapable of the
throne, especiallv in the mid t ofanation which
requires a 9teidy hand, a strong and enliglit
i.nc.1 jicauior us cue:, tot a character mild
enough, of an easy humor,he migh» gain some at
tachments ; but a haughty, imperious wife, sour
e 1 by misfortune, endowed With a mind retraclo
»*> against all culture, and a superstitious heart,
exercises over this prince, a fatal ascendancy.—
for the overflowing of mishap, the duke of An
goulcme, t hough yet young, is absorbed in blind
devotion that contracts both heart and soul. The
future presents no smiling aspect under such a
prince, and nevertheless wa may regard him as
tii * gift of heaven in comparison of his brother
Nature has treated the duke of Berri with less
rigor than the duke of Angouleme. lie has more
mind, knowledge and docility. He is not defi
cient in certain elevation of thought, of a
warmth of soul from which hemiuht derive some
benefit. A skilful and prudent preceptor might
have made something of the duke of Berri; but
cast at an early age among camps, long aban
tinned to himself; he yielded, es|>er.ially during
hi* sojournment in England, to incredible tie
banditries. lie has adopt*,l the habits and
manners of a depraved society. lie is what we
•nil in France a lost man.
Tlie hope of raising from the debasement, in
which he was sunk ; the honor of recovering the
rank he was called to by hia birth; the inflttenre
which the politeness and converse of the French
mxktosarilv exercise on a Prince who endeavors
♦o please litem, appearing for a Moment to elevate
ihe soul of the Duke of Berri and to operate a
happy alteration in his conduct. H.s frietxlaancl
even his uncle were on the r oint of conceiving
hopes on his account which they h id long given
over; but a spoiled disposition is not to be re
formed. Vicious habits do not disappear in »
day, when they have struck de p root, in the m nd
and heart of a man whose rank is h gh enougli to
find flatterers, and wimse fortune is •ymxiderable
enough to allow him all means of imVilgjog Ins
passions. Gross, cruel and tynnniem neither j
regarding himself nor others, the Duk J if Berri
has estranged all hearts; has exasptwaied the
army; has invited the contempt of life people ;
in short he has ruined his family and king, and
made them atone very dearly for the imprudence
of trusting their fate to an ignornmiiH of whose
deportment and filly they were well at rare. The
Thike of Berri is a soldier of ill m.ysners, who

He came here looking upon us as a parcel of re

Now comes the other statement, which tan be
substantiated .ip.m the oath of every man and v/o»
nan on board the brig Amazon.
On Sunday, I3th Aujjust, the Amazon
sailed from Sandy Honk, hound to Phila
delphia, in ballast ,* the crew composed of
those people that have just arrived in the
cartels from Kngland ; having a trilling
crew by the run, anti three working their
passage ; in the cabin came passengers,
Mrs. Philips and two children. Miss Brew
ster, Miss I risk, anti Mr. Myers of New*
fork. At 9 o’clock, on the ldtli, about
10 leagues to the southward of Sandy
Hook, was boarded by an officer from the
Narcissus frigate, who behaved politely,
never asked to look at a paper; just put
down in his boarding book where from,
where bound, name, &c. and asked about
the French frigate lying in New York.—
:)n the 15th, at about 2 P. M. passed be
tween the Arab, sloop of war, to leeward,
and tlie Vkbar, razee, to windward ; the
w'ind about S. S. i£. the former had his
head to tiie southward and westward, and
‘he latter close hauled to the eastward._
I he Amazon steering about a 8. VV.
course waa hailed by the Arab, and asked
tlie blip’s name, it v/e were in battlast, and
dthe French frigate was in New-York ;
the razee con id nearly have heard what
passed, who then wore ship and l^t slip a
musket over the brig; the colors were
uiisteu immediately in the main rigging
and a boat was seen putting off from tlm
razee: at first it was supposed lie was go
ing aboard the sloop of war, but when Fii=.
intention of coming aboard tlie Amazon
•va- perceived, the Amazon not havin'*
much way through the water, orders were
given to let go the weather mainbraces, but
\eep fast tlie tacks, and haul in the lee
braces. A lieut. by thistime and midship
nan presented themselves upon ileci;, ask
ed the brig’s name, and captain’s name, I
and said he wanted the papers, and to
know how many men we had aboard. He
was informed if be walked down in the
cabin he should see the papers ; in an ar
rogant manner he said, the ships’ papers
must be brought upon deck : lie was told it
was not ;• proner place to overhaul a ships’
paper ; he still persisted, five or six times,
to have them brought »p, flourishing hi?
j hand in great style. At last captain Phil
lips told him, it he was not gentleman
enough to go down in his cabin to see his
papers, that he would see him eternally
d-d before he, should bring them up j
and as for the crew, he told him it w as
none of his business how many men he
had, and that lie should not muster them ;
he then went on with a long preamble
about British authority and the right they
hud, amt that they would exercise it over
all vessels that iloated the ocean, and that
one of their own merchantmen would have
to undergo the same, operation. Captain
Phillips, seeing he could nut bring him to
reason, and fearing detention, went, below
and brought up register and clearance : he
then said that document was of no use, hut
insisted upon seeing the articles, and re
peated a number of times his dete.rmina
U'm of knowing precisely the number of
- #3 tt 0
* ix A_
men on hoard. Captain Phillips told him
he would not tell him, that they were for
ward upon the forecastle, and that they
had been lately mustered in Dartmoor pri
son ; and that they were souie of the poor
half starved deviis that had escaped being
shot.—Whilst this altercation was going
on, the brig fell off and was a considerable
distance hum the razee, which, upon his
perceiving, he ordered his men all u|>—-oi
dered the staysails hauled clown, the ves
sel hove too, and the colors hoisted union
down. Captain Phillips said, the first
•n"*n touched a rope he would knockdown:
he then ordered a man up the main rig
•ing to haul the ensign down, who had got
about 3 or 4 ratlines up, the captain made
a spring, got upon the rail, and made a
grasp at his leg, when the women began to
scream, and Mrs. Phillips caught him by
the legs.—Captain Phillips then called the
t crew aft, and asked them if they would
lend him a hand, they said it was no use,
and as we were in their power, we must
grin and bear it: when he hoisted the co
lors in such a disgraceful manner, that the
captain put his list close up to his snout,
.ind said it one of the heavy American fri
gates was along side of them, she would
capsise the guts out of him, his captain
and one ha If of the d-d rascals an board
of his ship,in less time than lie was revers
ing our ensign. The razee tilled awav
and came very close—the captain asked
what’s the confusion ? The lieut. repli
ed, !!. B. M. officers has been insulted, his
ilag abused.—Capt. P. said it was false
and incorrect—at the same moment he
then marched to the gangway Captain Phil
lips ordered the colors hauled down and
hoisted the right way, before he went ofT
the deck • when about going into the boat,
lie said [ shall represent your conduct to
my captain.—Capt. Phillips told him I dare
sav you will planter up a pretty rope-yarn,
to justify your rascally conduct, and get
them scoundrels in Urn boat to swear to it.
In about 15 minutes the 1st lieut. with two
marine officers and another lieut. came
on board the Amazon, armed with i»n<'
sabres, ami said to captain P. our captain
; wants to see your papers—you can go
I yourself or send your mate—you can go ui
I our boat, or lower your own boat down :
the latter he refused to do, and said if his
papers went over the side he would go
with them. They then went in their boat
leaving a lieut. on board, and the brig be
ing very light, and no ladder over, they
grumbled about their shins being incom
1 moiled scrambling down, and told captain
(P. ifit was alongside the Akbar, the*
I would furnish him with man ropes, &c.
j ^ I he captain told them he did not invite
them aboard. When capt. Phillips went
aboard the Akbar, he was shewed down
below ; the captain, the moment he saw
him approaching the cabin, said, in a
j scornful manner—take him upon deck di
rectly. I dont want him here. By and
| by the captain of the Akbar and the capt.
| of the Arab came up, and the boat’s crew
j were drawn up in single file, to bear wit
i ness, also the boatswain ami midshipman'
The capt. of the Akbar asked me how I
dare attempt to insult one of his Britannic
majesty’s officers ?—I answered, why one
of his officers dare attempt to reverse tm
colors : and asked him if we were at peace
or war, or how he could reconcile such in
decorous conduct to eilher government
asking Mr.the lieutenant w..at I said ; he
answered by stating I said I would see
him d-d first, when he ordered, the
brig hove too ; f told him to his teeth it
was false—out steps one of the sailor's
out of the ranks, and says I said I llirea
tened to knock his English head off. when
about hoisting the colors, and that I threa
tened them with one of our frigates. Tne
captain of the Arab seemed to have more
to say than the captain of the ship, asking
me if I owned the brig, and if I knew the
consequence of proceeding to sea without
a role of equipage, and saving that any
vessel was liable to he sent in for not hav-l
ing two-thirds of the crew according to j
law, that the British flag would exercise
the right of search, &c. tkc. I told him
my government would never suffer such
stuff again—lie said it should—I said it
should not nor would not—he said again
it should—1 said, in a rather vehement
manner, that it was impossible. Finding
I would not give up to them, they went
flown m the cabin, and left me parading
the quarter deck, for about two hours and
a half: after they dined and got their
wine, they came up, ordered a boat, aud
the captain of the Akbar gave ine my pa
pers, saying, I have given an account of
your conduct upon your register. When
going over the side*, I said, one curse nt
Ood was on it before, and only for the
jaw I would tear it in pieces shove it down
in the boat, and told them it was a dis
grace to sail under such a polluted docu
ment. I was put aboard my veswds, and
mafic sail without being nr Wd bv them,
and sent tny compliments to the first offi
cer that was aboard that I hoped to meet
him some time or other.
