Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

A correspondent says, "I would not wish to add to the distresses of those who are already under the greatest afflictions; but I cannot be silent, when I read weekly in the papers of several arrivals in the different ports of the United States from Nova-Scotia; many of them have brought numbers of loyal subjects from that dreary part of the globe, being obliged to return to the country they have injured, or starve."

"Some days ago a vessel arrived in this port from Nova-Scotia, or Shelburne, in which came several of those loyal subjects; what their design in coming is, I will not determine: but letters brought by the same vessel, from some who are in the greatest distress for want of food and other necessaries of life, give the caution to their friends, from whom they expect relief, to send the same in British vessels. Humanity shudders at the thought—but what true American can think of paying freight to foreigners for that relief which he would wish to send to any of his unhappy connections, while our vessels are not permitted to enter their ports?"
