was met by the above cutter, who,
without aiiy hailing whatever, fired
two *hot ii>ro the brig, both of which
palfing through the vefiti, the latter
cut o:;c of Capt. Smith’s men in two.

ili’p there, ihould imprifoii the Cap
tain of the cutter, for the murder of
one of hi> Britannic maj.ily’s fubjeifs.
When the commander lent on board
th::cut*cr for that purpofe, the Cap
tain informed him, that he was not
under his command, but that of the
