Copy of a Letter from Johnson 111akdey, laq.coniussoder of the United States sloop of war Wasp, to the Secretary of the Navy, dated United States ship Wasp, 11th Septeinber, Isle, ht. 40. N. long. 16. W. - Six—After a protratted and tedious stay at L'Orient, I bad at last the pleasure of *yin that (-lace on Saturday rids August. ' On the 30th captured . the. British brig Lettice, Henry Cockbain, waster; and Slat August the Sri. t tish brig . Bon AccOrd, .A4un ,DUrny, master. In. the morning of the IstSepiembee,- discovered a con voy of ten sail to karst d, in charge of the Armadly i 7.1, and a bomb sb4; stood (or them, and succeeded in cutting out the . British Itig Mary, John D. Allen, master, laden with brass cannon, •taken from the Epauiards, iron cannon and military stores, from 01- 1 braltar to England, removed the prisoners, set her on tilt, and endeavoured to capture another of the convoy, but was chased off by the Armada. On the evening of the same day, at half-past six, while going tree, discovered four vessels nearly at the same time, two on the starboard, and two on the lab.. hoard bow, hauled up for tho one most on the star board bow, being farthest to windward. At seven the chacc (a brig) commenced making signals with flags, which could not be distinguished for want of light, and soon after made various ones with lanterns, rockets, and guns. At 26 minutes after nine, having the chace under our lee-bow, the 12 pound canons& was directed to be fired into him, which he returned, ran under his lee to prevent his escaping, and at nine minutes after nine commenced the action. At ten o'clock, believing the enemy to be silenced,orders were given to cease firing, when I hailed and asked if he had surrendered. No answer being given to this, and his fire having recertnnenced, it was again returned. At 12 minutes after 10, the enemy having suffered greatly and having snide no return to our two last broadsides, I hailed him the second time, to knew if he had surrendered, when he answered in the afErma. tire. The guns were then ordered to be secured, and the boat lowered to take possession. In the act of ldwering the boata second brig was discovered alit:Al distance a4tern, and atanding for us, Sent the-creir, to their quarters, prepared every thing for anotheel action, and avraited his coming up; at 36 minutes 'Mtn' 10, disco vered two more sail a4tern standing enwardit us. I now felt mself compelled to forego the satisfae-, non of destroying the prize. Our braces having bees cut away, we kept of the wind until others could be rove, and with the expectation of drawing the second brig from his cosnpastibfss, but in the last we were dis appointed. The second brig continued to approach us until die came close to outstern, when she hauled by the wind,' fired her broadside,• whkh cut our rigging and salll considerably, and shot away a lower main cross tree, and retraced her steps to join her consort, when we were necessitated to abandon the prize; he appeared in every respect a total wreck. He continued for some tune firing guns or distress, until probably delivered' bv the two last vessels who made their appearance. 'the second brig could have engaged us if he had thought proper, as he neared us fast, but contented himself with firing a broadside, and immediately re turned to his companions. it is with real satisfaction I have again the pleasure of bearing testimony to the merits i,l Lieutenant Reilly, Pillinghust, Baury, anri saii,tig-master Cliff j and to th e good conduct' 0. , every officer and man on board ,the Wasp. -1 Their divisions and departments were attended and rupplied with the utmost regularity and abundance, which, with the good order maintained, together with the vivacity and precision of their fire, reflects on them the greate:t credit. - Our joss is two killed and one:slightly wounded with a wad. The hull received four round shot, and foremast many -shot.— Our rigging and sa il s suffered a grentlig. a ar Every damage was repaired the day after, with the exception' cf our sails. Of the vessel with whom we were ens gaged, nothing positive can be said, with regard to her name or force. While hailing him . previous to hie being fi red into, it was blowing fresh (And then going: ten knots) and the name was not distinctly understood. —Of her force, the four shot which struck us arc all thirty-two pounds in weight, being a pound and three quarters heavier than any belonging to this vessel. From this circumstance, the number of men in het tops, her general appearance and great length, she Is believed to be one of the largest brigs in the British Navy... 4 have, &c. (Signed) .1.

The Lys French nun of war has returned to L'Orient. from the West Indies, with intelligence that the valuable French Islands of Guadaloupe and Martinique were formally delivered up to the French Authorities on the 2d December. The Lys carried out the new French Governors. We have this daygiven ample extracts from Ame rican Papers to the 10th ultimo. But the intelli. gence from that quarter is now rendered compara tively uninteresting by the issue of the Negotiations at Ghent. It would appear by, the official docu ments published by the American Government, that the conclusion of the Treaty of Peace was at a mo ment most critical for Mr. MADISON'S party. On the Ist of December he laid befare Congress a Letter from the American Commissioners at Ghent, dated the 27th October, announcing that no hopes of Peace could be entertained. In the mean time, the financial difficulties of the government had increased to a great degree. Mr.DALLss, the Secretary of the Treasury, in consequence of the decreased state of public credit, and unable to provide for the payment of the interest of the debt in specie, proposed to the creditors, that they should subscribe the amount of their respective claims at par, to the loan of six millions, opened by the late Secretary of the Treasury, on the terms of that loan : or, that they shotild accept, in payment of their re spective claims, drafts on those banks (principally seated to the south and west of Philadelphia) in which there are deposits of public money. A new military plan, instead of Mr. .Morraoa's, had been brought into the Senate by Mr. Gars, by which service was to be limited to tre years. Even this modified plan, it is stated, was extremely dissatisfactory to the I!_ Yesterday arrived a mail from Holland ; and this day we received fiver' days Paris papers, down to 'Thursday last inclusive. The.accounts from Viesfan are to the 9th instants They give no countenance to; the rumours circulated last week of the Congress , having abruptly broken ur ;. but still they leave us as much as ever in the du respecting the real state of the discussions. In fact, we attach ,but little im portance to any of the statements ; on this subject which appear from time to time in, ibe,COMittental Journals. We have better authority than any thing they have yet published for believing that great progress has been made towards a final adjustment of all the principal points. So much so, that we would not be surprised to . bear, in a week or two, that the business was entirely set. tied, as much to the satisfaction dell parties as could possibly have been hoped for, where there were so many interests to be considered. The French Government, as we expected it would, has disavowed the lice of precedore followed by M. LAVAYSISZ at St. Domingo. His mission was Merril to collect information respecting the state of the island. - Satorday the glst "-wAltssanivo-- - ' . tgio / ma" .

The Poles manifest great enthusiasm towards the Enveror Alexander. The. Ruisian army remains at Warsaw and its vici. nity. VIENNA, JANUARY 5. The discussions relative to Saxony assume every day a snore lively and more animated aspect. We :use" adored that the Court of Austria has answered the Orussian Note, ahhough it was backed by one froal Russia, by a formal declaration full of energy and dignity, and which bears in subaanec, that Aus tiistivdl absolutely oppose - every measure tending to step the King of Saxony of his dominions. Thus the Courts of France, England, and Austria are of the same way of thinking. Austria connects herself more closely every day with Denmark and Bavaria.- VIENNA, JANUARY S. The intelligence of a change of Ministers for Russia and Prussia is again contradicted. A consi derable collection of troops towards our frontiers had also been spoken of, and the departure of Prince 'Schwaitzenberg for Prague, have all given way in their turn to contrary reports. • A special Commission has been appointed to settle the Navigaticn of the Rhine, and Holland has been permitted to send a represeutative. The organization of the States of Germany is nearly settled. The bat prOjet must be given in be fore the.lsth instant, and it is to be decided upon on or before the 15th of February. Most o f the Ger-1 man States desire an hereditary Emperor which can protect them and point at the Emperor of Auctria. It is said that several important documents are printing under the inspection of the - Congress, and will be published immediately, which will make every thing clear, The printers are not allowed to leave the Office, and their food is brought to them. ROME, JANUARY sr.. Lord Bentinck has been received with every mark of distinction by his Holiness, and has set out for Naples, but we fear that there are but little hopes of our recovering the domains of the Church which have 1 passed into illegitimate hands. The penury of our treasury is extreme : it is said that the Court of London bas offered the loan of some money, but the Pope has declined accepting all oars of this kind. NAPLES, DECEMBER St. Our Sovereign is still in bad health. Two couriers lately sent to Vienna, have been stopped and their dispatches taken from then. This has been made 'the subject of a formal complaint at Vienna. BERLIN, JANUARY 7. If the King of Saxony is not a downright prisoner he is nevertheless watched with greatj care. We have again heard of the discovery of a correspondence between his Majesty and several persons of a distin guished rank. In consequence of this the Russian Prince Calitzin , who was attached to the pe rson o f die King as a companion, has been suddenly sent for to Warsaw- M. de Medem, a Prussian Chamberlain, suspected of having favoured dais correspondence, has drowned himself in the Spree. His widow possesses large estates in Saxony, and is supposed to be much devoted to the King of that country. PARIS, JANUARY Is. ',lntelligence from Vienna, dated the 6th January, informs us, that the English and French Plenipoten tiaries, seeing that the discussions and conferences, of the Congress were prolonged wisbout end, have' declared in the most formal manner that they will never consent to the union of Saxony to Prussia. We are informed at the same time that great changes are about to be effected in the Ministers who were charged whir-regulating the affairs of Europe.

In addition to the above a light brig is on shore' and the sloop Agriculture, from Whitby. The Chases, from Lon don,' is also on shore near Homan. The Oxford Regiment of Militia arc on thcir route: from Portsmouth to their own county, to be disembo died. The Lancashire regiment are expected at Portsmouth from Ireland. A Gentleman, who had been unsuccessful for se. veral Lotteries, never hlving had a Aize above £2O, went into Wasa's Office, on Ludgate•hill the other day, to try his luck once more; and declared - it the same, time if again unlucky, he would 1,..ve done with Lotteries. But Dame Fortune, unwilling to lose a Suitor, rewarded his perseverance with an Eighth of the Tearlsourond Pound Prise. The First-drawn Prize above £25, nest Friday Morning, will be entitled to £20,000 besides, and has a very great chance of being drawn the other £20,000, aad so become a 4'40,000 Prize. A £20,000 is quite large enough for any conscience—all we con tend for is, it has a great chalice of the other, and therefore may be a £40,000.
