We confine ourselves to one of the atrocities here detailed, with ( a view as well o put the jeader in posses sion of the interesting intelligence it con tains, as: to aid the sale of the pamphlet itself. .The following is the narrative of the barbarous excesses committed on the captain and crew of the British brjg Ann, by one Henry H. Neill and his crew, of the sloop Mary, and who, ve are grieved to say, has hitherto eluded the pursuit cf justice, as well as the blol riu rmalpadpr of the boats crew who perpetrated the outrages in person, viz one Peter Frederick Miller.

Sunlev replied, 1 that he had not any- But, retorted JMiller I know better than all that; it is not to- be su- posed that0rou would undertake a voyace- so extensive, without havine some mo ney with ybu. You must, therefore tell the truth, or sutler' the consequences. The capt. of the brig seemed now' to feel all the lorrorspf his situation.. Those dreadful forebodings which frequently agitate the mind and destroy its wonted energies, when under the influence of apprehension, appeared to press heavily upon him. And alas I they weie truly the presages of his !own; lamentable and unhappy fate. He-was now in the pow er of a set of men whose feelings were callous as adamant, and in whose bosoms, pity had long since ceased to reside. ; It was invain for him to endeavor tq save the property of his owners, which seemed to have been the prominent wish of his heart. Nay, after he had informed them pfwhat money he hart on board, they still re mained unsatisfied, and made; their 6n- behef a plausible pretext for committing' crimes of the most horrible nature. ;j 1 While these things were transacting on board the brig, the sloop came up. 'J'he jrize master ordered Capt. Sunley and ifive of his crew to go on board. When She- boat arrived within hearing, Capt. IVeill hailed them, and, when alongside, they were' all ordered on board, which or- der was immediately obeyed rseiJl very haughtily addressed Capt.
