Jenks's Portland Gazette

The Spy, lately hung at Kingston, Jamaica, is stated in a Philadelphia paper to be the Frenchman "Saportas;" who in '92, '93 and '94, was noted as the agent of French privateers at Charleston (S. C.) and who, in 1793'94, in conjunction with the officers of the Lacaes French sloop of war, then in that port, organized and headed the memorable riot in that city, distinguished from other Carmagnole manoeuvres by being denominated the Riot at the Theatre, when the audience were drove from the theatre with drawn daggers and the same who befriended the pirate and murderer Nash, and advised him to swear that he was an American citizen. If such be really the fate of this incendiary, we cannot but bless that justice which has inflicted it.
