BRIDGE-TOWN, (Bar.) Oct. 28.
We insert the following extract from a journal of a voyage to Guadaloupe; kept by a Captain William Hess, of the sloop Sally, and published in a late American paper, as a specimen of Republican civility; leaving our readers to determine whether, had Mr. Hess acted in the manner he relates, Capt. Ross, would, or not, have turned him over to his Boatswain's Mate to teach him better manners, who, by the help of his Cat of nine tails, would soon have outstripped his thirteen tri-coloured flag.
[Here follows Captain Hess's Journal.]
November 25.
By late accounts from America, we learn, that Admiral Murray having lately paid a visit to New-York with the most friendly intentions, received from the populace of that city such an abusive and illiberal reception as not even their Republican manners can justify. On his approach in his barge he was peremptorily commanded to return, and threatened to be instantly murdered if he went on shore; he however, disregarding them, desired his barge-men to proceed to the pier, where he landed, and in despite of their hisses, threats, and menaces, walked the streets of the town until evening, when he returned to his boat, his crew receiving him with three cheers, and was safely conducted to his ship, then laying at the Hook. He the next day moored his vessel opposite the town, which so disconcerted and terrified the inhabitants, that there is not a Jack tar in the ship but may now venture on shore and be heartily welcomed.
