No 5. 16th December, 1807.
To the Printer of the Royal Gazette.
Sir, - As far as His Majesty's mild Proclamation tends to effect a recal [sic] of Natural-born Subjects, from, and entering into the degrading service of go-between neutrals, It is entitled to the approbation of the English Nation. Its pacific intention admits of a construction which unquestionably will reach the attention of every Officer in Command, both Navy and Army. - There is scarcely an American Vessel employed in their European, East, or West-India trade, that is not manned in part by British Subjects: and, their would-be Navy, has obtained its tuition from English deserters. It cannot be hoped that such individuals can be brought to a due sense of their natural duty; but, under the Proclamation sufficient authority exists to drag them to legal punishment. Example is every thing. The Commanding Officer of any Vessel in our Navy is only accountable for the conduct of a subordinate Officer ordered on a specific duty, so far as such Officer's proceedings correctly correspond with the orders given him. I speak advisedly: not an Officer in our service will contradict the doctrine, and it is an elating hope, that every item of power delegated by the long wished for, and now existing Proclamation will be rigidly exercised. While England holds a single Possession in either North or South America, the United States necessarily forms a part of the European system: notwithstanding the intervention of the Ocean, and ought to be watched with more than jealous attention. - 'Tis not British Seamen America wants, it is the Professional knowledge of English Sailors that Columbians are in quest of: a knowledge obtained under the reign of a Prince whose parental attention to his People, is admired even by his enemies. Information so acquired, and prostituted in the service of either Neutrals, or actual foes: justly merits for its possessors, the rigorous execution of the punishment announced by the Proclamation. I admit, our Navy and Army will not be a whit the stronger by receiving back, those Seamen and Soldiers whose wavering principles has led them to the detestable act of desertion. I take it that, the utility of the measure is, in preventing the United States, or any other supposed neutral from purchasing out of Our service, Schoolmasters, Drill-Sergeants, Gunners, and Armourers: however much they stand in need of the acquisition.
That Bonaparte has influenced the conduct of the American Government, seems to be sufficiently proved by Mr. Jefferson's declaration to Mr. Erskine on a question touching the Maritime power of America. The President betrayed by accustomed invective, forgot his usual philosophical deliberation. France might have aided the American Union with a few Ships, had England suffered the Danish Navy to remain under the controul [sic] of the Emperor of the French; but that care is fortunately and wisely altered, America can no doubt furnish Men; but supplying a Navy with numbers, and equiping [sic] it with disciplined Seamen: are very distinct considerations.
Zelot.

On Monday last His Majesty's Ship Ulysses, Capt. Nesham, of 4 guns, arrived off this River in company with His Majesty's Schooner L'Eclair. The Ulysses is gone to Suriman [sic] to convoy some ships from thence, as we hear - and the L'Eclair is come into this river. We understand that she is to cruize for some time upon this station.

No arrivals from Europe in the course of the present week. We have been favoured with the sight of American Papers to the 21st ult. in one of which is Mr. Jefferson's Message to Congress, it is extremely long and its contents are not of that interest to deem it worthy of being printed at length - one part of it relates to the different Provincial Courts transmitting their Minutes of Proceedings to the President, who till now never exacted any such authority over them, and it is also observed by the Boston Gazette to be unconstitutional and an atrocious usurpation of power, by claiming a right, to review and controul [sic] the proceedings of the judiciary.

We learn that a number of the Planters of these Colonies have enter'd into an engagement with each other not to Ship any Sugars from hence unless a reduction of the Freight to eight Shillings pert Ct. takes place.

We are concerned to learn that the Spaniards have again made their appearance off our Coasts: - a large Launch, on Monday last, past within fifty yards of Wakenam Island, and a Boat was chased by, apparently the same Launch on Thursday Afternoon, we do not hear that they have taken any thing as yet.

Vessels Entered and Cleared since our last.

ENTERED
Brig Henry, E. Trask, from Boston.
Schr. Charming Nancy, S. L. Davis, Gloucester.

CLEARED
Schr. Mary Ann, W. McKenzie, for Surinam.
