From the Richmond Enquirer. RIGHT OF IMPRESSMENT. Wc have a queer saying, much in use, among us, when wc speak of a man s getting ata thing by around about-way, which he has no right to get at one way or another. \Ve say of such a one, that he whips the Devil around the stump.” Never did this expression more hap pily suit any man’s designs, than the at tempt of His Royal Highness the. Prince R gent, in his late Declaration on Ame rican affairs, to justify the practice of impressing British seamen on board of American vessels. Never did poor special pleader rack his brains more for a plea or a quibble, than has this chief of a great Empire for a pretext to search our ships for seamen. “His Royal Highness can never admit, that in the exercise of the undoubted and hitherto undisputed right of searching neutral merchant Vessels in time of war, tne impressment of Bri tish seamen, when found therein, can be consider ed any violation of a neuirai Hag.” By the bye, His Roy .1 Highness says the thing that is not, if he means (and what else can he mean that we do dis pute his right of searching neutral mer chant vessels in lime of war. If he will be so good as to search our state pa p: rs, from the year 1788 down to the present d«y, we venture to say he will not find one solitary instance in which wc have ever disputed the right of search in the only cases in which it is recognised by the laws of nations—viz the search for contraband and for ene my’s goods. I have then a right to search neu tral vessels,” says his Royal Highness. Agreed; for these two tilings. If then in searching for these things, I come across a British seamen on board your ship, I have a right to impress him, when found therein—and you ought not to t.m, elative to the slaughtered of the enemy’s oick and wounded on 'he 22 January last. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most ob’t.serv\. (Signed) A. W. M’LEAN, A. D.C. Augustus B. Woodward, Esq. Detroit. No. XXIV. (Copy) Sandwich. Feb 10. 1813 Sir—l had the honor to receive on the third day of this month a verbal m ssage from you, communicated to me by Major M-.iu, requesting me to endeavor to procure some evidence of the massacre of the American prisoners, on the 23d day of Jan. last. I met with only a few persons at Detroit who are inhabitants of the river Raisin, nor was it altogether a pleasant i- sk to those, to relate in hese times the scenes they have beheld: some of them however appeared before a French ma gistrate, and I send you copies of what they iiave stated. It will occur to you, sir, immediately, that what any of them state on the information f ethers, though not direct evidence in its. If, leads to the source where it may be obtained. The truth will undoubtedly, eventually, ap pear and that unfortunate day must meet the steady and impartial eye of history. In communicating your message, Major Muir added something having relation to American citizens who might be willing to take the oath to the king. L will be obvious to you, sir, that in a state of open and declared war a subjec or citizen of one party cannot transfer his alle giance to the other party, without i curving the penalties of treason and while nothing can excuse his guilt, so neither are those innocent who lay temptations before him. The principles adopted by the United States on the subject of expatriation re liberal, 1 ut are perfectly inapplicable to a public enemy in time of war. 1 he law of nations does not justify coercion upon any man to bear aims against his country. Vrttel says that a man of spirit ought rather die ten thousand deaths. Some of the French inhabitants of the terri tory of Michigan, cinzms of the United Slates of America, have been much urged on this subject, and are apprehensive of being further troubb d I had the further honor of receiving on the Bth inst. your verbal message by your aid de camp, Mr. M’Letm, acquainting me that there was no capitulation on the 22d January, and (hat the prisoners surrendered at discretion, f therefore beg pardon for that mist ke. The principles of the law of nations however impose an obligation almost equally strong. I beg leave to repeat a request for tiie fav»r of a p ssport. I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) A B WOODWARD. Cot. Henry Proctor, Sandwich. No. XXV—Translation. Terr itory of Michigan—District of Detrod, ss. Personally ap; eared before me, the undtr signed, one of the justices of the peace, in the district of Detroit, Joseph Robert, an inhabitant on river aux Raisins who being duly sworn on the Holy Evangelists, deposes and says—that on the next day after the battle on the said river Raisins, a short time after sunrise, he saw the Indians kill the American prisoners, with heir tomah; wks, and that they shot several, to wit, 3 that the Indians set the houses on fire, and that in going ou the prisoners were m s sacred and killed as aforesaid; tha 1 is to say, 3 were shot, the othews were killed in the bouse and burnt with b e hou*es. The In dians burnt first the house of Jean Baptis e Jereaume, and afterwards that of Gabriel God frey, jr. The deponent has been informed that there were about 48 or 49 prisoners in the two houses. The deponent has seen dead bodies on the high-way which the hogs were tearing and eating. Mr. Brunot told the deponent that the Indians had killed those of the prisoners who were least wounded, and that the others were burnt alive. Antoine Cuiellerie and Alexis Salliot, inha bitants of river Ecorces, told the deponent that 2 prisoners have been burnt in the house of Gandon on the river aux Sables. The deponent has heard that the Indians had tore out the hearts of-the prisoners, and had brought them still smoaking into the houses, but does not recollect the names of the informants he be lieves, however, they were men worthy of credit. The deponent says further, that after the first action on the river Raisins the Indians fired on one named Solo, son-in-law to Stephen L beau, an inhabitant on the river aux Sables, when*"returning from the house of Candon to his father-in-law on his arrival he hallooed to to his father-in law to open the door, saying that he was mortally wounded; Stephen Le beau opened the door and told his son-in-law to throw himself on his bed, but that in trying to move he fell dead. An Indian knocked at he door, and Lebeau having opened it received a ball in his breast and fell dead. The son of Lebeau made his escape; the Indians shot seve ral times at him which did not reach him. The deponent says further, that Baptiste Coateur was killed near the house of the depo- nent on the day of the second bailie, on the river Raisin, a little after sunrise. The deponent says further, that the Indians have often threatened to burn his house and barn if he did not march with them against the Americans. The deponent says he is an American citizen. The deponent says that several of his neigh bors have told him that they had received the same threat. Other settlements have been threatened with fire. The mills and houses on the river aux Roches were burnt in the month of September last, after the capitulation of De troit. And further this deponent saith not. JOSEPH ROBERT.

D. one thousand eight hundred and thirteen, personally came before the un dersigned, a justice of the peace, for the dis trict aforesaid—-viz John M’Donnell, an inha bitant of the city of De troit, who after being duly sworn upon the Holy Evangelists of Al mighty God, deposeth and saith, that a few days after he battle of the 22d January last, at the river Raisin, he was personally present at the house of James May, Esq. when he heard the said James May ask Mr. William Jones, the acting agent for the Indian department, if there would be any impropriety' in purchasing the prisoners from the Indians, and that he heard the said William Jones say, that he thought there would be no impropriety in purchasing them, but would not undertake to authorise any person to do so,” that in c nsequence of which this dep nent purchased three or four prisoners, amongst the number was one by the name of Hamilton, a private in the Kentucky volunteers, who declared to this deponent that on the first or second day after the battle at river Raisin, on the 22d January last, as he and some of his fellow prisoners were marching with the Indians, between this place and river Raisin, they came upto where one of the pri soners was burnt, the life just expiring, and an Indian kicking the ashes off his back, saying, damn’d son of a bitch.” This deponent also further deposeth as afore said, that Doctor Bowers, a surgeon’s mate, of the Kentucky volunteers, who was purchased by him and some other gentlemen, stated to i his deponent, that he was left to take care of Uie wounded, after the battle, but felt rather timid on account of the savages, but that he received such assurances from Captain or Colonel Elliott of the safety of him self, as well as the remaining prisoners, he con cluded to stay, as sieigns were promised to be sent to fetch them away the next morning,— that near about day light of the morning follow ing he day of the batde, the Indians came into tlu house, where said Bovvers was with the o th .r prisoners, proceeded to plunder toma hawk sue., as could not walk, and stripping the said Dowers, and the wounded prisoners of ali their ciohts; that while the said Dowers and t wo other prisoners, named Searls and Dradford, as near as this deponent can recollect,were sit ting by the fire in the Indian camp, an Indian came up, who ppeared to be drunk, called the said Searls, as near as this deponent can recol lect a Madison or Washington,” then took up a lomahawk and struck Jie said Searls in the shoulder, that the sa id Searls caught hold of he tomahawk, and held it for some lime that the sain Dotuers advised the said Searls to sub mi: to his fate with that the Indian gave him a second blow on the head, killed, scalp d and siript him during this time, the said Bowers and Dradford were personally present, and be mgappr hensive for their own safety, that he CBowers, J an and came up to the old Chief, who sold him to this deponent and others, who cook him under his protection, and was very kind to him, whilst he remained with him. This m uonent further deposeth, that he has reason co believe the aforesaid Rowers and Hamilton, are n.w at Sa; dwn h, and if applied te, they could give more ample information relative to the par- cuiars of the aforesaid, and further this deponent sayeth not.

I certify, that the bodies of the Americans, killed at the battle of la riviere aux Raisins, of the 22d January last, and the day after, remain unburied, and that I have seen the hogs and dogs eating them. The hogs appear to be rendered mad by so profuse a diet of Christian flesh. I saw the houses of Mr. Gereaume and Mr. Godfrey on fire and have heard there were prisoners in hem. The inhabitants did not dare to bury them, on account of the Indians. The inhabitants have been threatened by the Indians, if they did not take up arm« against die Americans. ALEXIS (his^mark) LABADIE. Michigan, February 6,1813. No. xxx. This is to certify, on or about the-28th day’ of January last, an Indian woman came to my dwelling-house on the river Rouge, and inform ed me that on the morning of that day, an A merican prisoner had been killed in the Indian camp, and the reason she assigned for killing him was, because he had expressed an hatred, for the Indians.

The account in our paper yesterday of the block de of Boston, &c. contain ed in a letter from Boston, appears to be an absolute forgery. The letter was regularly post-marked in Boston, and received in the mail from that town. The hand writing is believed by many who have seen it to be that of Messrs. Adams and Rhoades. And the letter to the editor of the National Advocate, containing similar intelligence, was signed J Munro, in a hand which seve ral gentlemen declared they could swear to in a court of justice. From the silence of the Boston papers of Monday, the whole is considered a fa brication. And it is left for the public, who have been abused by this villainous imposition, to account for the motives of so infamous a proceeding. As an» electioneering trick, it could answer no purpose, as it would be discredited by the following mail. As an attempt to in jure the credit of the N. York Sc Boston editors, it could have little effect, as e very man in society is liable to imposi tion from forgery, and to have his name counterfeited for the purpose ofvill any. It may have been intended to ridicule the fears of invasion, and put the citizens off their guard in case of an attack. But whatever may have been the views of the author, the artifice is so base and unwarrantable, that every honest man in society must join in condemning his conduct. The letter (and that to the editor of the Advocate] will go to Boston in to morrow’s mail, for the purpose of de tecting the author, with an advertise ment of a reward from us for his dis cov< ry. WASHINGTON CITY TUESDAY, API\IL 6. THE BOSTON NEWS; One may be tempted to smile at the foolery of the first of April, when the rein is given to invention, and licence to the tongue but when the folly is ex tended beyond that day, or is of a char acter to wake public feeling, and fill our breasts with deep solicitude for the fate of those in whose welfare we feel interested, the farce is carried too far. The practice of fabricating news, of practising upon the honest credulity of man, of trifling with those noble feel ings which dignify our nature, has pre vailed of late so extensively as to make one distrust almost the evidence of his own senses. We must say the practice has received too much countenance from the conductors of some of our public prints, who have given form and pressure to the most preposterous and ridiculous falshoods that ever man was cheated with; which have gone into circulation, and have received credit, merely because those who had some re gard to truth have not thought them worth even the respect of contradiction.. For what purpose the fabrication from Boston was designed, we cannot con jecture. It was evidently the act of an enemy, not of a friend. The respecta ble gentlemen whose names have been forged to give currency to the counter feit, will no doubt make every exertion to detect the mean wretch who could have so sported with the public feeling. If this thing was done with evil intent^ the fraud on the public is of such a na ture, as, not being obnoxious to law, would justify the exercise.of summary justice on the offender, if discovered. If it was intended for wit, it was pitiful; it was idiotic. For Duller must he be, Than the fat weed that wastes itself at ease On Lethe’s wharf,” who could derive amusement from

the sighs of the patriot for the degene racy of his countrymen, or from the tears*of the anxious female relatives of those whose lives and property were re ported to have been menaced. Thein dividual most injured, next to those whdse names ,have been counterfeited, is Mr. Otis, who, if he be not traito rous to his country, as well as to his an cestry, would sooner bury himself in the ruins of his native town, than see her so disgraced, as it was said he wished her. From the following paragraph which we copy from a London Morning Chro nicle lying before us, it appears that the art of hoaxing is not confined to Boston, ©r to the wags or knaves in our country, but is in full vogue in the xVlother country:” LONDON, JANUARY 5. It appears that there are some facetious gentlemen at Plymouth and other ports, wno send up fabricated reports of ships captured, to enable the Editors who deal in second edi tions, to gratify the public. An evening paper of last night told us of the capture of the Unit ed States American fsigate, which we fear will turn out another hoax. The arrival of several of the Officers of the Vixen enables us to publish a more particular account of the loss of that vessel, and of the death of her gallant commander, Captain Reed, an officer so eminently entitled to the usual biogra phical memorial. He was the youngest son of the late President Reed, of Pennsylvania, and received the honor of his name from General Washington, at a time when that illustrious person was in habits of confidential intimacy with his father. Such were the early auspices of a man, ■whom, in the morning of lite, an inscru table Providence has consigned to an untimely death. Alter receiving a lib eral cohegiate education and graduating at Princeton, C iptain Reed entered the Navy and as he regularly rose through all the various stations from midship man to master and commanuer, was al ways distinguisned for intrepidity, sci entific and practical seamansnip, unex ceptionable deportment, in subordina tion ana in command, with every other endowment for the highest rank, ol that honorable profession, which has just exalted its adepts to the summit ei ma ritime ascendancy at the very moment when the subject of this article has de scended into tne tomb. In private life Ins characteristics were probity, cheerfulness; extensive intel lectual acquirements, a most unaffected diffidence of his own sterling merits— together with a general sobriety ana chasteness of conduct, a due sense of moral and religious obligation, not al ways the recommendations, sometimes not even the aim, of young gentlemen of the sword. He acted as 2d Lieutenant of the Nau tilus in the memorable attack on 1 ripo li, in August, 1804, after the death of .Captain Somers; and Ist Lieutenant James Decatur took command of that vessel, stood into the harbor with the ut most gallantry and skdfulness, and es fectually covered the gun-boats in their operations. For his coEduct on that oc casion, he was noticed by Commodore Preble in his general orders, issued on the termination of that bold and success ful enterprizc Lu utenant Reed after waids accompanied Gen. Laton’s de tachment to the coast of Africa, and served on beard the vessel which co operated with him on that romantic ex pedition. When war was declared against Eng land last summer, Captain Reed solicit ed employment, though his health was extremely delicate. He was ordered to a command at the southward, whither he repaired immediately, notwithstand ing the unhealthiness of the climate at that, season. The death of Captain Gadsden preferred him to the command of the brig Vixen. The sea air in a great degree restored his health but it was his peculiarly hard fate to be cap tured by a force so superior as to pre clude any contest (the Southampton fri gate), then to be shipwrecked on an in hospitable coast, and finally to die a pri soner among strangers. During all these reverses, however, he preserved that equanimity and resolution whicn never forsook him. When the South ampton and Vixen ran ashore, in the night, the Eng. crew became mutinous from intoxication what was saved from the wrecks was principally due to the ex ertions of the American seamen, under the direction Sc encouragement of Capt. Reed. For this generous interposition he received the public acknowledge ments of Sir James Yeo, the British commander, and an offer of his parole to return home, but would not leave his officers and men behind him, and chose rather to remain with them in the un wholesome atmosphere of which he was unfortunately the first victim. He died, after four days’ illness, of a fever brought on by the fatigues, anxiety and expo sures incident to his painful and morti fying situation. His enemies paid those honors to his remains which the brave of all nations render to each other. His interment was attended by the British officers and a detachment from the gar rison, who committed him to the earth with the ceremonies of a military fu neral. The naval annals of his own country, now blazing with recent renown, will not withhold a suitable testimonial to the memory of an bEhcet* whose lot it was at such a time to undergo the total frustration of his ambition, and ship wreck, and captivity, and an untimely death. From a late English Paper. LONDON, JANUARY 5. In consequence of an arrangement made yesterday, under the direction of the Alien Office, no person, either na tive or foreigner, is to be permitted to embark for America in future without licence. Lt. Col. Patterson, who lately retired from the quarter-master-general’s de partment, at head quarters, after a ser vice of more than fifty years, has been appointed Lieut. Governor of Quebec. By an insinuation in a morning pa per it would seem that Ministers mean to s hew that notice was sent out to our commanders on the stations near the seat of hostilities, so early as May last, of the imminent probability of a rupture with America, and that they were at the time furnished witn instructions and means for a vigorous retaliation, the moment it should break out. It is add ed, that the force which they possessed exceeded that of the Americans, in the proportion of 85 to 14. This is pub lished in a letter which has all the air of ©nice. We trust that Ministers will concur, therefore, in an enquiry into the unaccountable inactivity which has taken place, and assist in the discovery of the real cause ot the disgrace which the naval power has incurred, They cannot mean to shelter tnemselves un her the piufui subterfuge of our naval force being superior to the naval force of the American government, w. en they must be aware that it was against commercial depredation that they had chiefly to provide. If the American rivers had been put into a state of bloc kade in the month of June, their sea men would have been Hung out of vm pioyment, their nopes of success in their pitiful navy would have been checked, and both the mercantile and agricultural parties would have been clamorous foi a peace. Every letter from America speaks with siomshment 01 their suc cess, and says, that it as to the torpoi of the English administration, thut they nave to ascribe the present nigh toneoi die people. Morning Chron. Baltimore, April 3 IMPORTANT INFORMATION By capt. Weems, direct from H-mp ton, we learn that the British squadron still retained their former position in Hampton Roads; that a conspiracy among the negroes had taken place, but was detected in the following manner An American vessel in James River was hailed during the nigh oy several negroes in a canoe, who enquired if they were English the captain, sus pecting them, replied in the affirmative, when they immediately came on board, and informed him that if he would fur nish them with arms, they would massa cre the whites that 2000 negroes were embodied and exercised in squ. ds at night; they mentioned particular indi viduals who should He their first victims The captain of the vessel detained them for some time, exercising them with swords, &c. until he obtained the whole plan of the conspiracy, when he seized them, and they are now confined in Wil liamsburg j ail. At Gloucester Court-House, an at tempt was made by the bl. ks to mur der three slaves who refused to join in the. conspiracy. Several troops of horse had been ordered out to seize suspect ed blacks.
