excites’ r'nu_c_l_i_interest. ltmay be relied on that
this 'governm'ent continues on good terms with
Russia_,’and that it is endeavored to maintain peace
in the crest of Europe. V This object cannot be ob-
tained unless the Rome consent unreservetlly to
the just demands of’Ru‘ssia ; and much difiiculty
exists’ relative to the guarantee required by Alex-
ander in favor of the Greeks. The English A_,m-

was ~to_influence the King of England to make

from her officers the following interesting.pai-tic-

of the Capt. General. and declaring that he woiild -

Whilst making his arrangements for ,this'pu'-‘r-
pose, he was waited on by an officer of the gov-
ernment, and told that he would not he suffered
to leave the port with -the Lucius, and if he
persisted his vessel would be sunk. This threat
did not alter his dctermination,"and shortly after-'
wards he made sail with his fleet, the Ente,rprize,j‘
Lucies and piratical vcss’c'ls, resolved‘to carry his
point at all hazards. He proceeded until he was
nearly abreast of the Moro, when he was overta-
ken by another messagefrom the Captain Gene-
ral, in which the Captain General offered to mt.-lie;
himself personally‘ responsible for the amount of
salvage due the Enteiprize, pledginghimselfto
this effect. This was done with a view to concili-

Distreasing‘ Mzrratz'v_c.--Tlie Dot-ham, (-wreck‘-

embarked, and were taken in tow by the schoo-

lieutenant, four seamen and a boy, abandoned tlijéf

water ‘there was in the boat, ordered them to

tor on the 5th Nov. in a most outrageous nianiicr,
but was foiled in her attempts to caplutie her,and
after‘ an action of an hour and a half sui‘rendered'
tothe Alligator. She is a ship of bttween 3 and
400 tons; mounted four long ‘I2 pounders, two
long 6 pounders, and four 24 pound carroiiades’;
four of uliicli I was under the necessity ofthrow-
ing overboard in a very heavy gale ofwind, in the
Gllllpll Stream,on the 6th inst. in which gale we
lost some of our spars, and had our stern boat
washed away. The prize crew consists of 16,
ineltidiiig myself andtivo officers. I will take
the liberty to add, that the -reason of the great
léngili of gthe action was -in consequence of the
long guns of the prize, and Capt. Stocktoifs de-
sire to get alongside before he commenced. (the
wind being light) _<;2z\’B hot the fight to herself for

V‘Ve yesterday rt-cci-.'ed a letter from Lt. Ab-

-the above capture, not usually given in official let-
ters. The following are extracts : ‘
‘ On the 5th of Nov. in the lat. of 20, 38, N.
and long. 80, VV. at 9 A. M. standing on our
cotirse to the south and cast, we discovered a ves-
sel on our larboard bow. Some time after we
perceived she had taken in top gallant sails, haul-
ed up her courses, and bore to, and that she had
a'flag,_hoisted half mast, which wesupposed to
be a national flag in a whiff, a signal of distress.
VVe inimetliately hauled up and stood for her,
with the expectation of relieving some worthy
distressedbi-otheinsayilor. About ll 30 we dis.
covered her to beaship bearing the appearance
ofa_sma1l frigate or a sloop of .\_\'€tl‘, and that her
colour hoisted was a small blue flag. Soon after
we were not a little Sttl‘pt‘ise(l at being greeted
with a shot, and could notbut at first think it was
an accident.‘ Our large American ensign and
pendant were immediately hoisted. VVe werc_
very soon however undeceived,and could not mis-
take her character and intention, for she opened a
raking fire upon us with round and grape, utterly
diregarcling our colors, ‘and having none other
herself blllllle above mentioned blue flag.
‘You may be assured our command-.-r ever
ready to relieve the distressed, to light an enemy,
or maintain the honor of his country’s flag, . was
not unprepared at this time, with his little schoo-
oer, for either. Finding our guns shorter and
lighter than our an'.agoiiist’s, as our shot ‘would

board, which from the wind being light, expos-
could return it.‘
‘ At 1 30, having received her fire for more
than an lio_ur, and finding all attempts to dissuade
her from further hostilities were unavailiiig, and
liaving arrived within musket shot, we returned
her fire. . At ll 40 she hoisted the Portuguese
done before under her blue flag. At 1 50 she
-surrendered, having sustained some damage in
her sails and rigging. ., '

ra Anacleto tle Britto.
‘From circumstances which have come_ under
my observation, and what I have learnt from the
prisoners, the Captain ofthe prize appears to have
been for a number of years Captain ot :1 Guinea
The crew are said to
have observed, that they had plenty of fights be-
fore; but that at this time they told the Captain,
it would be n_o good fight for them, for they knew,
