mttee appointed at the meeting of
the Federal Republicans, to make
tbs necehary arrangements for the
funeral Of our fellow citizen, John
Pearce, murdered by a Britifh fhip
of war atthe mouth of our harbor,
give notice that they have waited on,
committee of the Corporation, in
Whole hands they found the corpfe of
the deceafed, and were informed
that the Corporation had directed
the fame to be inferred at the ex-
penfe of the city. The iervices Of
the committee for this purpofe, have
therefore become unneceliary but
they earnefly recommend to all claf-
fes of their fellow citizens, TO unite
in performing the lait Offices Of hu-
manity towards the deceafed, not on
iy for the purpofe Of manifefing the
public fofrow for the violent and un-
timely death of a fellow citizen, but
as folemn and impref1ive tefimony
againft that iyitem of administration,
which Regardless of our humble Pc
titions, withholds all adequate pro-
lection from our city and feafaring
brethren, and thereby leaves US and
them defencele(s and expofed to the
violence and depredations Of the free
booters of the ocean.
