Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

Last Sunday arrived the British Packet Carteret, Capt. Newman, in 42 days from Falmouth; in whose came passengers Mr. Peters, Mr. Nash, Mr. Holt, Mr. and Mrs. Clayton.

The Printers of the New-York PACKET are requested to insert the following, as it may tend to put a stop to the practice of Ireland in sending out convicts to America, as indented servants.
From the Dublin Volunteers JOURNAL.

"As the circumstance of illicitly sending off Felons and Convicts of IRELAND to the United States of America, has been much the subject of conversation lately, and some doubts of the fact being thrown out, a wellwisher to the harmony and trade between Ireland and America, thinks proper to state the following fact, and leave it to the usual candour and liberality of Irishmen, if such outrageous insults to both countries, and particularly to America, should not in future be put a stop to.

The Snow Anne-Mary-Anne, Capt. Nevin, purchased for the purpose, and owned in Dublin, sailed from hence about the middle of September last, and took upwards of one hundred convicts from the goals here, she call'd at Cork for the like purpose, & sailed from thence on the 1st of October, also sweeping the goals of that city of every felon under sentence of transportation; this vessel arrived in Chesapeake Bay early in December, and being met by a pilot, off the Capes which was sent out for the purpose of the House in Baltimore, to whom she was consigned (a partner of which House was then in Dublin) the destination of the ship was altered from the port of Baltimore, to that of George-Town on Potowmack river, in Maryland, where those wretched people were also sold, and disposed of under the false colour of their being indented servants from Ireland. The people of Virginia and Maryland not knowing they were convicts, received them; but the affair soon got wind, and caused much noise and execration towards the parties concern'd in such a nefarious commerce, and which in truth neither does credit to them, nor serves the cause of Ireland in America. What is more extraordinary, it is confidently said, another cargo of this sort is going from hence in a few weeks to the same place.

If any person doubts these facts, or wishes for further information, the Printer will inform him where he may learn more on the subject."
The above mentioned vessel, the Anne Mary-Anne, Captain Nevin, is expected daily to return to Dublin to take out such another cargo, under the auspices and direction of her owner Mr. Stockden, merchant in Dublin, who has the contract for sending convicts from Dublin to British America on similar terms to his Excellency Governor Duncan Campbell, the director of the hulks on the river Thames.
