In February 180, rt the preceding year; a
British nar&l end land force, under Arbuthnot
and Clinton, appeared beforp1 Charleston rand
laid siege t? it. The officer in. command ofjtbe
rvolutionsry forces at thaf place . was Qeneral
Benjamin Lincoln, whe was next year appoint?
ed Secretary of War, and held that post for three
years, after which he retired tQ his farm. .-His
moans of defence were quite inadequate, but he
made a gallant though vain; resistance. .On the
i the forty second day of the attack, he wlas com
pel led tc aurrender'the city and. his whole army.'
' InAugust,el730, after the loss of Charleston
and the State. Gen. Gates, with an army of 4.000
t men, was se'utterly. routed by CorQwalJial that?

nor led to the ultimate loss of the cause for

And Tet the end of that same year 1980. Gen.

tbe British feel how far they were from- hating
' accomplished the work they had undertaken,
Tney had got (Georgia and fcfcmtn uarouna, and
now thy made sure .of getting Virginia and

men, mostly tdrles, was sent to pluideir and de
vastate and murder on the Chesapeake and the
James Rier. He was; afterwards : joined by
Gen. Phillips, from Nftr York. They of course,

of the command was the battle of Cowpens, on

Where opinfons are-thus fqually divided in si

- For our ewn part, we cannot lament .!
the division of opinion which postpones for
many months tbe condemnation or release of

ef may not be legal. That depends on whether
the Legislature in the year 1819 fortunately pro
vided against evils which the event has shown
to be real, bowever dimly they may then have
been foreseen.. But we nave.no doubt at all
that legal or illegal equipments of. this. kind are
highly impolitic, and might become an intolera
ble annoyance to ourselves, if we had tbs miss
fortune to be at war. Where Jibe hull, the
armament, and the crew of a privateer Are: all

should be the last to sacrifice British shipowners
