To palliate the brigandage of the British at Saybrook, it is stated that they burn and destroy private property on shore in retaliation for the torpedo attempts made upon their vessels. Let them keep their ships out of our waters, and no torpedoes will assail them. As it is, we suspect and hope, that they will have reason, before long, to complain of injury, or at least fright, from our submarine weapons of defence.—Col.
