June 3. By the last accounts received from North America, we find, that our frigates which cruise off Sandy-Hook, have again given cause of serious complaint. [Alluding to the conduct of the Leander and Cambrian in the murder of Pierce.] We still doubt the correctness of the reports which are published in the American papers. We are in the meanwhile extremely anxious to learn what has really passed, as every Englishman must feel particularly interested, where the true honour of his country is at stake, and the report which has reached us of the murder of Pierce, is but too well calculated to justify the serious complaints which have of late been made by foreign nations, against the conduct of our cruizers.
