THE EMBARGO WAS THIS MORNING TAKEN OFF. From this circumftance we may prefume that Go vernment are fatisfied that by this time the object for which it was laid on has been accomplifhed, though it cl-es not appear that the Expedition, lying in the D iwns, had failed when the mail left Deal at five o'clock yelterday afternoon. AMERICA. We have this day received American papers to ele 3oth ult. brought to Diver by the American fhip Fanny, in 28 days from New York. The only arti cle+ worthy of notice relate to the affair between his Majefty's fhip LEOPARD and the American fhip Chelapeak, of which feveral accounts are given in the papers before us, which we (hall tranfcribe for t information of our Readers. NEW YORK, JUNE 27. .:,e follnwiog Hand Bill was ilrued yefferday num ri:ng horn the Office of the New York Evening PA.—(Sunday Morning, to n'Clock). Fiwm OUR cORREETAWDEET AT BALTIMORE. MURDER ! " BALT1b10•11, JUNE 26. a We have teen feveral Gentlemen who received letters from Wallington City under date of lalF evening ; ' the fubliance of which is as follows " Some time fence a demand was made by the Britifh Conful at Norfolk, for three men alleged to be Britifh fubieCts, who had deferted the fervice and en tered on board the frigate Chefapeak, Commodore Barron. On an invelligation being had, it was clearly proved that the three men alluded to were native born American citizens, and had been preffed into the Br itifh Navy, from which they made their efcape as Coon as opportunity offered. The affair appeared to be fettled to mutual fatisfaftion and the men re mained on board the frigate. " Our readers may recollect that we announced, It few days fence, the failing of the Chefapeak for the Mediterranean. Off the Capes of Virginia the was hailed by the LEOPARD Btiti(h frigate, of 5o guns, and three men demanded, which Commodore Barron refuted to give up : whereupon the LEOPARD poured a whole broadfide into the Chefapeak, which kill , el three, and wounded twenty-four men—among, the wounded is the Commodore. " The puns of the Chefapeak being in the hol and the veffel in every refpea unprepared for aftion, Commodore Barron ordered the colours to be (truck and furrendered his (hip, which the Britillt relufed to take poirtaion of. Corvmodore B. then returned to Norfolk, where his veffel now lies, in a chattered cmn dition. There were a number of ladies, paffengers, on board the Chefapeak, who Were unwilling wit metres of this moll gallant exploit. " Commodore Barron, with the Surgeon of the Chefapeak, are how at Wafhington." Such appears to be the lubtlante of our collated teilimony. To.morrow's mail will probably furnilh us with many interelling patticulars. The Britith did not obtain the men. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. mi l e Yong, Jowl 30. We underhand that a Cabinet Council has been called by the Prefident of (he United States, to met upon the outrages comtnitted by the Britifh lhip of war Leopard, upon the United States frigate Chef speak.—From the People's Friend and Daily Advertilir. The following circumtlantial account of the above outrages is from the Wational Intelligencer : CITY, jowl s 6. BRITISH OUTRAGES ! " We give the public the particulars of the follow. ing outrage on the American flag, under the influ ence of feelings, which we are certain are in unit n with tbofe entertained univerfally by our Fellow Ci tizens ; feelings which cannot, and which ought not to be flippreffed. We know not, indeed, that this favage nut rage has a precedent in Naval annals. " On M ,nday laft the United States' ft igate Cliefa peak, of 38 guns, left the Capes, where there lay at anchor a Britifh fquadron, confiding of three two deckers and one frigate of 38 guns. As fke paffed this fquadron Without rnoleflation, one of the two deckers, the Leopard, put off and went to fea before the Chefapeak. When the latter came up pith the Leppard, at the diflance of about three leagues from the fquadron; her Commander, Captaiti Humphries, hailed the Cherapealc, and laid he had a (I;fpateh to deliver front the Blitifh Connhander in Chief (meaning Admiral Berkeley, of the American fiation). Commodore Barron fuppofing it was a difpatch for Europe, hove to, when Captain Hunt pluies fent on board of her a letter covering an wrier of Admiral Berkeley to take front the Chefapeak three men, alledged to be deferters from the Melam pus ftiga.e, and dcfignating them by name. "Commodore Barron replied by letter, thatno filch men as named in Admiral Berkeley's order were on board; and added, that his crew could not be muf• tered by any other Officers than his own. This an fwer was couched in terms of politenefs. It was no fowler received, than a broadfide was difcharged from the Leopard. The crew of the Chefapeak were at this time not at quarters, confidering the Leopard a friend, and Commodore Barron not contemplating the poffibility of danger fo immediately after leaving the Capes. No other attempt was therefore made to fight her, than the difcharge of a few ftraggling guns, while the Leopard repeated three or four more broadfides ; when the Chefapeak 'truck her colours, after having three men killed and eighteen wounded. 4 , A boat was then put off from the Leopard with an officer who demanded four men. Commodore Barron faid, he confidered the Chefapeak as a prize to the Leopard ; the Captain of which veffel raid no, that his orders were to take out the men, which hav ing executed, he had nothing further to do with her. Thus difmiffed, the returned to Hampton roads, where the now lies. She received in her hull twenty. two round (hot, her foremaft and mainvaaft were de ftroyed, her mizenmaft greatly injured, and her (landing rigging and fails very much cut. 4 , Of the wounded eight are confidered dangerous, and two have loft an arm. Commodore Baron fuf fered a contution, received from a fplinter, which is not lesions ; no other officer is wounded excepting MicHhipman Broom, and he but (lightly. " Nothing evinces in more ltriking colours the infolencc of Captain Humphries, than his immediate return after this outrage to the Capes ; where he now lies with the other (hips of the fquadron." A THIRD ACCOUNT. " ALIZAMORIA, PPM i 6. , 4 g Yeflerday arrived a pilot boat from Hampton Roads, on board cf which came .Captain Gordon and Dr, &this, of the United States frigate Chefapeak, which (hip has returned to Hampton Roads in con fequence of a wanton attack made on her by a Bri in 74 gun fhip, about three leagues from land, in which the Cherapeak received fo much damage, that it was deemed neceffary to retarn. The circum fiances as related to us are there : 4 , While lying in the Eaflern Branch, four men were enlitled which the &kith Mininer demanded as deferters from the Melampus frigate, then in Hamp ton roads : on examination, it was fuppo(ed they were Americans, and confequently they were not de. livered up. When fhe arrived in Hampton roads, a timilar demand was made ant a like refufal given. " The fhip got under weigh, with an intention to proceed to her place of stettination, the Mediterra nean. She paired the Mtiampus, and two 74 gun hips, one of which weighed and flood after her.— riu her reaching the limits of the Uni•ed States, Cap tain Humphries, of the 74 gun chip, fent a Lieutenant -n board, with a letter to Commodore Barren, de manding the four fearnen. " The Commodore returned for anfwer, that he would permit no foreign officer to mutter his crew ; but that if the Captain of the Britifh (hip would mut - . ter his men, and fufFer an American officer to come n hoard and take all Americans from his crew, he would mutter the Chefapeak's crew, and permit a Britifh officer to ccme on board and fele& all the Britifh fohjefis therefrom. " On the return of the officer, the 74 fired a broadilde into the frigate, and continued to do fo till (he !buck, which was done after firing one gun, her guns being in no fituation to do execution, horn the circumilance of her apprehending nn danger from any thing on our own coati. The Chefapeak had two men killed, and twenty-three wounded, four of Whom, is is believed, mortally—the Commodore is among the wounded. The four men were then taken out. and the (hip difmiffed." The American (loop Warp, which brnaght Mr. PURVIANC/ to this country from New York, was releafed from the embargo fo early as hfonclAy, and immediately proceeded to l'Orient—a circumllance which affordsanadditional proof that our Government entertain no hoilile intentions towards the United States. Tuefday laa, the Vttaktte flonp of war, after taking on board Lord Ross Lyn and Lord BLAN r YR F., got under weigh at Harwich, and failed fur the Baltic with a fair wind. Private letters from Malta mention that Mr. El liot (Lord Minto's brother) had failed from that In -aid on the Bth of June, to affume his Government of Bat badoes, in the room of Lord Seaforth, who is named to the united Governments of Demerara and Berbice, thofe colonies being feparated only by a frnall river called the Alburry. The invelligation at Maidflone by the Civil Power of the atrocious conduit of tome foldiers of the 28th regiment, in deftroying their eyes to deprive Govern ment of their ler vices. has terminated : all have been permitted to ferve his Majelty in the Weft Indies, fot life. Never, perhaps, did human nature eihibit fuch a pilture of depravity : it was found that nearly 300 had combined to produce ophthalmia, to deprive themselves of fight, in order that the country might not have their fervices. On Wednefday her Msjarrt and the Oa noctsist honoured the Countefs of CARDIGAN with their com pany to dinner, at ber houfe in Richmond. They arrived about twelve o'clock. The Dochefs of Buc cs.suc 11, Counteffes Past ism and Co uatown, and Lady C. WatnEcasys were of the party. After the company had viewed the delightful premifes, they fat down to a fumptuous dinner foon after three o'clock.• About half pan four her Majscrt and the PRINCESSES fet off on their return to Wind far. The Duke of Cu manta ma's band attended and played in a marquee pitched . on the lawn, in the front of the houfe. Yeilerday 'horning his Majssfr, Princeires Av cusrA; SotntA and AMELIA rode on horfeback in Windfor Park. Her MAissrt, Princeires ELIZA BETH and MARY took an airing, in a fociable, to Maidenhead. Wednefday evening a boat, with three young men in it, was upfet in Chelfea reach, by a fudden gull of wind, when the men were picked up by the crew of a prefs galley, who lately lodged them in the tender, off the Tower.
