NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, April 20, 1822 Page 2 has a report: "The Slave Trade" that begins: "A. Lacoste, of Charleston, S.C. who was convicted at Boston in 1820 of being engaged in the slave trade & condemned to five years imprisonment & the payment of a fine of $3,000, has been pardoned by the President of the United States..." with further detail.
The back page has: "The Macedonian frigate, Capt. Biddle, sailed from Boston...for a cruise in the West Indies to suppress piracy & afford aid to our smaller vessels engaged in that business."
Sixteen pages, 6 by 9 1/2 inches, very nice condition.
