IRfSII BRAVERY UNREWARDED. On the 24th of December last, the brig Mont tore, of Poole, &beard • /jobs.. Master, the pro perty. we believe. of Les[peril and Aldridge. of Poole, sailed front Liverpool. bound for Oporto, with a cargo of bale goods, staves. dollars, &c. to the value of about 16,0001. 011 the Itith of the same month she was taken by the privateer Le Pluto, of St. Maloes, and all her hands taken out, except one man, and a boy of nine years of age. Seven Frenchmen, Including a prize -master, were put on board the Arieentare, to bring her into the neureirt port 111 1 : 1411CC. 011 the 3d of January fol lowing, a sail hose in sight, when the hero, of our tale was forced into the cabin, and a centinel placed over him, to prevent his speaking, On being near ed by this vessel, the Frenchmen ou board the Ad ..enture changed their dress, to make themselves ap pear like English seamen ; and, on being hailed, answered, bound from Liverpool to Lisbon." The prisoner in the coleus. hearing it announced front the other vessel that she was the Cruiser letter of marque, from Loudon to St. Domingo, 141111 setting the danger of his situation at defiance, with the true spirit of his country, rushed out of the cabin—knocked down the crittinel with his Est, hip only weapon !—and wrested the helin from the Frenchman, whom he laid prostrate with another blow ! Just as the prize -master, with a long knife, attempted to run hint through, he fortunately picked up a broorn.tick, which he applied so vigorously to his assailant's sword-arm, that he dropped the knife, which our veteran seized, but scornfully threw over board, relying ou his trusty I•romnstick to maintain the unequal contest. 'floe whole crew had by this time rallied, and made a general charge, when the letter of marque. seeing the confusion on hoard the Adventure. and suspecting all was not right, sent a host alongside, which arrived just in time to save our hero'. life, es lie was nearly overpowered. The Akan:aro was brought safe into ltamsgate, and an 'Admit of the foregoing tminsection was laid before llocters'-Commons. The ship and cargo are saved to the Underwriters, and %Valetta Phe/au, mariner, the man who, at the age of seventy, per formed this achievement; is now returned to Water ford, his native place, unnoticed !—unrelarded !!! We hear of the Committee at Lloyd's presenting swords and making large donations to those who have. in nay manner, distinguished themselves in. their country's service. We do aot hesitate to say. that the abase transaction deserves to be classed among the musty acts of bravery performed by our countrymen in the coarse of this war. We cannot harbour the opiuion, that his being as 'reissuing could be a barrier to the reward ea justly due to hie fidelity and intrepid am duct.-IVhether this reward should be conferred, by the owners or underwriters is not for us to deter mine. Had this man had the 'previous advantages of birth er feetane. he might have been promoted to the rank of Admiral, or perhaps have statues erected to bis memory. As it is, with all that spi• tit, which, in other circumstances, would hive con . @Uttar& a here, he must patiently submit to all the privations and ills of poverty. at an age alien he I should be provided for by the generosity—the jus tice of his grateful country !—(A/gantrog.) lIIHETV.NGS OF CREDITOR!
