Ha ling fatisfid themselves in thofe particulars, thry unfiiipped the rudr, carritd it idtocbelnut ftreet, and laid it down in the - ftreet oppofite the houfe of the Britifti con ful. Except the meafure purfued to pre vent the veffels putting to fea, re have iietrd of no injury being done. We juft learn that the committe appointed at the tevVn meeting on Wednefday lair, have taken the above veffcl into their care, and pledge themfclves to an enraged and numerous multitude that the brig Midi irot be ermitted to depart, until it is ful afcertained tint fhe has no lupplits of any kind for the Britilh navy. The committee have done theuifelves credit by their prompt and active intcrtVrrence in this affair. Had they not tnterpofed their good offices, the probability was t!ie brig would have been confiderably damied Much credit alfo is due to the people af fenibled for their reany acquirlTence in the arrangements adapted by the committee. Capt. HutT and two other periods are ippainted to take caie of the veff-l. We are authorifed to fiy lint thi addief; read from the committee is rone to prels, and will be ptibliOud in a haml-'j U this evening.
