A cartel ship, on braid which CaptainDacres and most of the crew of the Gtlel riere were embarked, ready to sail for Halifax, has been unexpectedly de tained by order of the Secretary of the Navy. The cause we learn is, that no arrangement has yet been settled for the exchange of national prisoners of war. But the Nautilus's officers and crew have been sent up from Halifax. The exchange of privateers•men and persons taken in merchant vessels will be conti nued as usual. Twelve of the Guerriere's crew are detained at Charlestown, as hostages for the safety of six reputed English subjects, found among the crew of the Nautilui, which have been sent from Halifax to England for trial. On Thursday, five of the prisoners on board the prison ships in Charles' river, attempted to escape in a boat, but were fired upon and brought back. One of them was severely wounded.

" SIR-1 have the honour to inform you, that on the 19th instant, at two P. st. being in lat. 41. 42. and long. 55. 48. with the Constitution under my command, a sail was discovered from the mast-head, bearing E. by S. or E.S.E. but at such a distance we could not tell what she wait All sail was instantly made in duce, and soon found we came up with her. At three P : M. could plainly see that she wai a ship on the starboard rack, un der an easy sail, close on a wind. At half-past three r. it. made her out to be a frigate ; continued the ehace mad we were with. in about three miles, when I ordered the light sails to be taken in, the courses hauled up, and the ship cleared for action. At this (line the chase had backed his main-top-sail, waiting for us to come down. As soon as tie Constitution was ready for ac tion, I bore down, with an intention to bring him to close ac tion immediately; but on our coming within gun-shot she gave is a broadside, and filled away and wore, giving us a broadside on the ether tack, but without effect, her shot tailing short : she continued wearing and maticenvring for about three quarters of in hour, to get a raking position ; but finding she could not, she bore up, and run under her topsails and jib, with the wind on the quarter, I immediately made sail to bring the ship up with her, and five minutes before six P. it. being alongside, within halt pistol-shot, we commenced a heavy fire from all our guns, double-4sotted with round and grape, and so well-directed were they, and so warmlj kept up, that in fifteen minute' his mixen- Mast went by the board, and his main-yard iu the slings, and the hull, rigging, and sails very much torn to pieces. The Ere was kept up with equal warmth for fifteen minutes longer, when hia mainmast and forknast wen-, taking with them every spar, ex ceiting the bowsprit; pn seeing this we ceased firing, so that in 30 minutes after we got fatly alongside of the enemy she sur rendered, and had not a spar standing, and her bull, above and below water, so shattered, that a few more broadsides must have carried her down. After informing you that so fine a ship as the Guerisere, commanded by an able and experienced Whets-, bad been totally di.masted, and otherwise cut to pieces so as to Make her not worth towing into port, in the short space of 30 minutes, you can have no doubt of the gallantry and good con duct of the ofEcers and ship's company I have the honour to command. It only remains, theretbre, for me to assure you, that they all fought with great bravery ; and it gives me great pleasure to say, that from the smallest boy in the ship tote • oldest seaman, not a look of fear was seen.

On the morning of the 22d, a detachment was sent forsVard to take op ground for the batteries, but considering the camp at too great a distance to do so promptly, and without great los ~ 'esta blished, in the first instance, a strong redoubt to shelter the troops in our farther operations. The enemy basing brought nearly all his guns during the night to this face, 1 placed two guns in this redoubt to keep up the enemy's attention trom the real spot in tended for breaching, which was most judiciously pointed out by the Engineer Lieutenant Gordon, and a battery having been corn pined during the night of the 22d, it o, rued about is o'clock the tollowing morning, and effected a breach on the north-east face of the wall by 5 o'clock in the evening. I had issued orders for the assault at day-light this morning, which the Jam's submission to Goverment, during the night, prevented, and though, by this timely reflection of the Rajaies, many lives have bent saved, I may be permitted to regret, in common with all the Officers and men of the detachment, a re soh so full of disapyointntent ; fur the zeal, and order, evinced by all ranks, promised the most decisive success against any re sistance. lam under the greatest obligations to Lieut -Colonel East, or his support and assistance to me on all occasions. The advanced parties of the Light Battalion, and the Company of blarp shooters of the 7th regiment, whu were thrown out against the Arabs, while we were taking up ground on the 22cl instant, particulaily distinguished themselves, by activity and steadiness. '1 he Officers mostly employed having beer. those of the Engi gincers and Artillery, they all made the greatest exertions in their respective duties. 1 he Engineers Lieutenant Gordon and Ensign Jarvis were indefatigable.

The packets for the homeward-bounds ships, Corn wall and Banana, left town on Saturday evening for Saugor ; but some doubts are entertained whether they will be able to get out of the river, owing to the prevalence of strong southerly winds ; and it is pro bable that they may be detained till the next springs MAY 13.—0 n Monday last the ship Colonel Gil. iespie, Capt.

Mrs. Coland Adams was to proceed to Santarang on boards small brig taken up by Government. By recent advices from the Mauritius, it appears that there was a considerable scarcity of grain, p4r . ticularly of rice ; but we are happy to find that t lief will be speedily afforded from this side of the Penio. sula, two vessels having already sailed with full cargoes of rice, and two more. being pn the eve of departure ; so that, in tie course of a month, the re will be a superabundance of this essential article of food, and the last adventures may probably turn out not very profitable speculations.

When within siz hundred yards of them he opened, and after firing about a quarter of an hour, advanced three hundred and fifty yards at a trot ; at this mo. merit Captain Christie, at the head of a small blf gallant party, dashed into the village, followed by the Sir Baz. They drove back the Russians, and got possession of a gun and half the village. The Persians, however, as usual, dispersed to ply.der, which the:Russians perceiving, rallied, and drove them out again at the point of the bayonet. The Russians putsued them beyond the village, but were soon driven back by Lindsay's grape. Two Bum. pean serjeants were unfortunately lost. Major P'Arcy, in the mean time continued firing from the right, and blew. up one of the Rursisa magazines. The cannonade, which continued dur. ing the space of four hours and a halt, closed with the night, and on the hezt morning the Russians surrendered. The Persians lost, it is said, 150 killed, and 380 wounded. v 6TAIt. LONDON. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22. INTELLIGENCE FROM RUSSIA.
