Morel, captain of the privateer Jona , of Dunkirk, embarked at Itautsgate ou the 16th inst. between four and five o'clock at night, in a .two-oared boat, fourteen feet in length, in order to put period to their captivity. During the night between the :16th and 17th, it blew excessively hard, and the sea was so heavy, that it proved altogether impossible for them to steer the boat. At.midnight, they :;upposed to be between Ostend and East Cappel, when they descried a Dutch big ger; by dint of exertion they came within hail of the bigger, and demanded her assistance. which they stood in need of, their boat being already half full of water. The captain of the lugger, John Fenken, ~.nting the distressed situation of those unfortunate men, used his best efforts to sa‘e them ; his huvmnne endeavours were crowned with success, and he landed them safe at Ter \Terre.
