'Nothing was done this day in the Senate. After waiting with some impatience till past twelve o'clock, the Vice-President at length appeared.

The account published, says Thr Charleston Con. rirr, of the 6th inst. respet.ting the infamous min.; der of Mr. TATE, Mate of the armed ship Pilgrim, of Philadelphia, at Cape Franc )is, was in some respells incorred. The following particulars are furnished by a Gentleman who was an eye.witness of the whole transaction : it would seem that two unfortunate Frenchmen, together with some Mulattoes, had been introduced on board this vessel (probably with the knowledge of the Officers), and securely stowed away under deck with the cargo. By some means infor. minion reached CHR ISTOPHE, that they were con. cealed on board. Mr. LYNCH, the Supercargo, and Capt. GIBSON, being on shore, declared their igno. ranee of any person's being concealed on board. The Commander in Chief immediately dispatched a guard of soldiers on board the Ship, who tore up the deck over the heads of the unfortunate fugitives, and, together with Mr. TATE (he being the Com. manding Officer then on board), forced them on shore, On their landing upon the wharf, the un. fortunate American saw but too plainly the fate which awaited him, and, addressing himself to his amazed countrymen, he exclaimed, " Americans I will you see me thus dragged to execution like a dog, and no one step forward to assert my inno cence ?" " Yes," said one (a Mr. SMITH, Super. cargo of a vessel from Baltimore) " I.will speak for you !" Instantly a sentinel was ordered to run him through with his bayonet ;, but he escaped by springing into his boat and instantly pushing off. The prisoners were then led up to the public scales! Mr. 'TAT a and the .two Frenchmen had halters placed about their necks, mounted this tempoiary scaffold, and were precipitately launched into eter. nity. The arms of the Frenchmen were pinioned, • but those of Mr. TATE were left untied, and in his struggles he repeatedly caught hold of the cord by which he was suspended, and entirely removed it from his throat, the cord passing round his chin and the back of his neck; in this manner he expired. As he mounted the ladder, he said, " Americans 1 Americans ! I die this ignominious death for duly executing my orders !" The feelings of the Arne. ricans on this occasion may be more readily, felt, : than described. ‘ 1 In Hampton Roads," says the Norfolk Pei Ortit of November 24, " arrived the ship Bald Eagle, Captain LANcoom, 12; days from Amsterdam, with nearly 300 passebgers, hound to Baltimore.— The Pilot_boat sent to her with provisions returned last evening, and we arc happy to learn that their situation is not so deplorable as was imagined—up. wards of thirty have died ; the Captain and Mate have been sick, hut are quite recovered, and the whole are now in good health. The vessel has lost her rudder, maintop-mast, and almost all her sails, her stern is also much shattered."

AN OFFICER OF THE SQUADRON OF THE UNITED STATES, OFF TRI.. Poll, DATED AUG. 9, 1804. " I received your favour by the Frigate jokn Adams, which arrived here yesterday. " The wants of the captives at Tripoli have been liberally supplied by Commodore FEEBLE, who not long since sent them a vessel with clothing and a variety of other articles ; all of which they have received, and say they are amply supplied. Their situation has been comfortable, as much so as cacti. vity will admit of. We have had two anions with" the enemy. On the 3 i inst. they lost three of their gun.boats,captured by our's under their battery, and they sustained considerable loss in men, On the 7th we bombarded the town for five hours, when they must have sustained great damage. Our loss in both was trifling, considering what we had to contend with. But lam sorry to' inform you of the loss of Lieut. CALDWELL, a brave and excellent Officer, who un the 7th was blown up in his gun.buat. The favourable effeft these two. anions have had upon the enemy i 8 very visible, and as a communication is to take place to.morrow, there is great hopes that Peace will be the consequence. When our un. Untunate countrymen will be restored to liberty." EXTRACT OF A LITTER FROM AN OFFICER ON BOARD THE uNtrEu STATES ARMED BRIG SY. RCN, BI FJItE IitIPOLI. Syren, Aug, 9, 1804. On the 16th ult. we attempted to bring off with our boats, under command of Lieut. CALDWELL and Mr. DORSE Y e a small vessel, but they did not sue. ceed, the colleaion of Troops for her defence was so numerous, our boats had to retire with the loss of one man killed and three severely wounded. The loss of the enemy was is° killed and wounded, as we have been informed by a Maltese Captain, who was sent in with clothing for our Prisoners. f Commoduto Flu u tia arrived here on the 23d the zi.th,: when we anehni'ed in a line Ttirli, about three miles from the batteries, whrte we had not been two hours before we were o hb ge d to get under way, a's the wind blew too ire,l► un ;;hire : but this clay it has moderated, and we shall be able to take our station before their bat. before terics. gi The Tripolitans are much distressed at pre sent—their crops have failed, and the vigilance of the blockading squadron has prevented their get ting supplies from abroad. They have been for. tifying themselves at every point, have removed every thing valuable from the town, and have made, and are still making, great exertions for its de fence. " The scene of combat commenced the 3d inst. when the weather became favourable for our opera tions, and accordingly at two o'clock P. M. the signal was made to prepare for battle ; at three o'clock we got within gunshot of the batteries, and cast off the gun-boats and bomb.ketches. They advanced in a line ahead, led on by Capt. S. DE CATUR, and covered witWthe Constitution, the brigs' and schooners. The Enemy had 17 gunboats moored in a line in front of their - batteries, also a brig of 16, and a schooner of to guns, to aid the cover of their boats. The moments were anxious as we advanced—a discharge of shells from the bomb-boats induced the Enemy to open their fire, which was heavy and incessant, yet our brave fel. lows advanced with all possible intrepidity through a shower of grapeshot ; when our gun.boats got within zo yards of the Enemy, they discharged their great guns loaded with 40 lbs. of musquer. balls, this was followed with a volley of musketry ; this obliged five of the gun-boats, composing the enemy's right wing, to cut their cables and retreat : our boats then bore up for those to leeward. Capt. DECATUR boarded and carried the first boat, Lieut. TRIP boarded, and carried the second, and Lieut. JAS. DECATUR in the aft of carrying the third was killed. Capt. Dec ATUR continued down their line, and carried the third ; all of which were safely brought off. 46' T ' t "track continued one hour and a half , the ,;t . . - ,„ Turko driven nut of Port Francaise, and must 1100tifferd much from our fire in the town as well 3 - 2 - lii their batteries. The reason the Enemy's fire did us so little damage was on account of its being so badly direaed.— The three Gun. boats taken are excellent, two of them carry a 26 pounder each, of brass, and the other an 18 pounder. Lieutenant TRIP, who carried the second boat, received eleven sabre wounds, but none of them dangerous, and he is likely 'to do well. On the sth we had the captured boats zigged, anti should have returned to the attack, but a small French Privateer finding her birth too ivarm in the harb3ur came out ; by her we learned that the Enemy had t gun.boat sunk, another lost two.thirds of her crew, and all the rest very much shattered ; they also in. formed us, that they were employed all night re pairing their damages. The Platforms in their Bat. teries were torn up, and our unfortunate country. men wese employed to repair them, 66 The Commodore sent him back with the wounded, and next day he returned with a letter from the French Consul, bearing strong marks of a pacific disposition; however, the Commodore determined to attack them next day to westward : accordingly on the 7th, at 8 A. M. the signal was made to advance in two lines and attack the bat. teriet ; the morning was cairn and warm, which prevented our getting in until 12 o'clock, when the enemy opened their fire from their batteries, and in their confusion fired at least so guns without ball. 64 The Bomb.boats got their position at half past s 2, and anchored ; the Gun.boats grit within point blank range, and in a little time dismounted two guns inthe western battery, aid drove out the Enemy ; a shell was thrown into battery Franelisr, aral burst, which silenced their fire for nearly half an - hour. — At one P. M. the quarter-deck of Gun.boat, No. 9, blew up, by which event we have to lament the loss of Lieut. Jittoes CALDWELL. Commander, and Mr. DORSEY, a promiaing young Officer, and eight of her crew. Mr. SPENCE (who was sponging the gun), with some others, escaped unhurt ; they had nearly completed the bearing of the gun to fire when they found the Boat sinking, and the brave surviving few gave three cheers as they went down, at which time we lay two hundred yatds from them, and our boats were immediately dispatched and picked them up. This caused a small cessation of our fire, but it was only momen. tary, and was renewed with redoubled vigour, and seemed to say, we will revenge our brave corn pa. nions.—At five o'clock the signal of re.call was made, and the firing ceased. << We, as in the other affair, have suffered no thing like what might he calculated on, owing to their bad management: we bye host on this ores- ient, or a by a red.hot shot,tlim shot we briVe the obset %%Arian of one of the men saved, who says he felt the shot strike her, but be fdre be could commUnicate the circumstance she blew up !
