FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, NOVEMBER 27. It "is said that the Chamber of Deputies wild open on the 15th of January next. The reports of a treaty of commerce concluded between Spain and England, as well as the news of the rout of the Army of the Faith, caused yesterday a mafked' rise in the public funds.— Without disguising the disagreeable 'conse quences which' such a treaty might produce on French commerce, the intimacy farmed between a great Power and the Spanish Government, ap peared a new probability in favoqr of the main tenance of peace. The present advantage only 'was seen, without calculating the future evils; and consequently the price of stock, and more particularly of the Spanish funds, was sensibly ameliorated. We can besides announce that, according . to correct information which has reach ed us, the treaty of commerce between England and Spain is not, yet signed, as has been reported. The bases only have . been laid down ; and the Spanish Government, dissatisfied with the pro ceedings of France, appears disposed to grant, facilities to the importation of English manufac tures, the consequences of which will be felt in a' very disastrous manner by our manufac turers.—(Courier Francais.) We can assert, that the news of a treaty of commerce, concluded between Spain and Eng land, is without foundation. In the present state of affairs, the Spanish nation doubtless wishes for peace; without fearing war. Spain may exact respect from her neighbours, without menacing them by alliances. She has no need of auxiliaries to dissipate those bands which we so absurdly transform into an army : and she will obtain --the friendship of States as well as the esteem of reasonable men, with far more certainty, by the wisdom and firmness of her conduct . , than by sacrifices and concessions contrary to her principles. There is, therefore, no inducement to this treaty which has been supposed-to exist,either on the part of the Government of Madrid, which is not in such peril as to be obliged to purchase the aid or the neutrality of England, or on the part of the Cabinet of London, which well knows that it is not by imposing contributions on nations that their good-will is obtained. The commercial re lations of England with Spain are better favoured by the defenders of the Faith and all the other enemies of the Constitutional Government than by tariffs, the advantages of which wotild last no longer than the danger which caused them to be granted. England does not envy the favours we heap on the Regency : they have served to ruin our trade by the Pyrennees—to excite a hostile feeling towards us in the Spanish ports=and to secure a long preference to our more tolerant or more politic rivals. No more credit is therefore due to this report of a treaty of commerce, than to that of the cession of Cuba, which has also been circulated.—(Journal du Commerce.) Letters from Bayonne, dated the 21st, state that news was there expected of the operations of the Army of the Faith, under the command of General Carlos O'Donnel, and that all that was then known was, that that army occupied the-en virons of Irati.—(Gazette de France.) Letters from Barcelona state, that on the 3d a , company of militia arrived there from Mahon. They had volunteered to fight against the factious. On the preceding night 74 Franciscan monks were shipped off, it is supposed for the Balearic islands. A letter from St. Sebastian dated the 18th states, that on the 16th the Governor of Irati, Don Ramo Pcy Marti presented himself to the Authorities of that place to' implore the benefit of the amnesty, and that a report was circulated of Zabala having been killed by one of his men, who' afterwards repaired to Bilboa.—(lndicuteur de Bordeaux.) An evening journal announces that the Vis comit de Montmorency was to leave Verona on the 23d to return to France. A letter which we have before us, in fact, states that his Excellency was to leave that city on the 23d or 25th, and that according to all appearance he would b•ing the declaration so impatiently expected.—(Ga zette de France.) L'Etoile announces, that the Baron 'd'Eroles, •who had at first thrown himself into the valley of Aran, has since gone to Seo d'Urget, being re solved to shut himselcup there with 100 men.— L'Etoile hence infers, that the affairs of the Regency are not so unfavourable as they have been represented. We doubt whether the readers, of that paper will from these facts draw the same conclusion.--(Journal de commerce.) Thus, then, is the destiny of this formidable Army of the Faith, which was to conquer Spain, nearly accomplished! Quesada is at Paris ; the Trappist at Toulouse ; and the Baron d'Eroles is compelled to shut himself up with 100 men. What, will become of the famous loan to the Regency of Spain ? It is certainly well se cured !—(Constitutionnel.) An extraordinary correspondent of the _dugs - burg Gazette pretends that M. de Chateaubriand has somewhat astonished the diplomatists at Ve rona by endeavouring to impose his opinions upon 'them, especially as from his personal situation ,he had no right to form a part of the Congress, be being no Minister. His propositions, it is said, nye been generally rejected. It seems, how ever, that the Noble Peer of France had at least succeeded in exciting'some doubts in the minds of 'the Sovereigns, and that he has contributed to fortify the Emperor of Russia and Prince Met ternich in their previous disposition for a war against Spain. But the Duke of Wellington is said to have cooled these warlike ardours, and to have surprised the Congress by talking to them ,of charters and constitutions. The news from the frontiers of Spain announce that Mina's proclamation is producing the best effects on the re-establishment of public tran quillity. A great number of the armed soldiers of the factious have submitted. It appears that the decision ,of the Congress will not be known until/the first days of Decern .Let. Were it possible at present to put faith in report, it might be regarded as probable that 'Viscount de Montmorency, Minister for Foreign Affairs, will arrive at that period, and it is then that some reasonable conjecture may be formed. According, however, to the opinion of men who seem to be well informed, it is not certain that the question of war or peace will be determined at the moment a the breaking up of the Con gress. They pretend that the Declaration if one be' made in common, will be drawn up in terms so vague, as to present no solution. The real diffi, rutty appears to be how to give it a form suitable to all the Powers. It may, indeed be conceived that the menacing language which our Cabinet would employ may not be equally adapted to the political considerations of another; that France, for example, may wish to go farther than Eng land ; and that Austria may not be disposed to go so far as Russia, It is therefore supposed that the matter will be adjusted by each Power making a separate declaration -relative to Spain and the form of . her Government.—(Constitu tionnel.) A private letter from Vienna , of the 16th No vember states, in the most positive terms, that Austria will not take part in any war, either against Turkey or against Spain o,—(lb id.) The Quotidienne states, that the Trappist, after stopping two days at Toulouse, has gone to Perpignan.. COURT OF CORRECTIONAL POLICE. 'Yesterday: M. Couvier appeared 'before the Court, charged with publishing a libel, under the title of " Petition for the Villagers who- are pre vented from dancing." The libel was described to be an outrage on religion, and calculated. to excite hatred against the Government. M. Cou vier was accompanied by his Counsel, M. Ber ville. On being called on for his name, he de clared himself to be " Paul Louis Couvier, vine dresser, of Vertez (Indre and Loire)." It appeared that the libel had been written in consequence of the Prefect having, on the request of a. priest, prohibited the usual dancing of the peasants on Sunday. evening. The king's Advo cate observed, that the title showed the malig nity-of the author, as its terms indicated a gene ral prohibition, whereas the decree of the Prefect of the Indre and the Loire had only interdicted it in the commune of • Azai. The author called himself, en the title page,' a vine-dresser," be cauie he was a proprietor of vines ; and he de scribed himself as having been formerly" a horse cannoneer," though it appeared that he had been a superior officer in the artillery. His object in doing this was to put bimself on a level with the people he 'wished to provoke to rebellion. There was also added—" Left the prison of St. Pelagie last year." Hitherto, persons, accused ,had left it to the Public Prosecutor to bring to recollection their preceding convictions ; hut here a punish ment is made a title of honour. 'He then read several passages, the spirit of which was, that the people were now prohibited from working or amusing themselves, and told that they-should do nothing but pray.--7." But what burden do you think we have to bear?—Children, old men, monks, lacqueys, courtiers—what a number of folks to maintain, the greater part of them most magnificently. Then comes the splendour of the Throne, and the Holy Alliance, too I.—what costly things !—what an expence " The Curate of Azai is a young Man, bitrning with zeal—a conscript of the Church militant. He has succeeded, through the Prefect, in preventing us from dancing, and he will soon get us prohibited from singing or laughing. Soon did I say ? Our young men have ,already been reprimanded and threaten ed, for songs and for having laughed. This is not the first time that the Ministers of the Church have called to their aid the se cular arm in the conversion of sinners, for which the apostles only employed the Gospel, agreeably to their Master's precept. Jesus said, Go and teach." But he did not say, "Go with gendarmes, and teach, through the Prefect !" " The village girls are often fond of a dancer, who, after some time spent in love and courtship, at last becomes a husband.— All that passes publicly-411 that is fair—and, besides, far more decent than the secret -conferences with those young men who are dressed all in black." " We are now obliged to fast by ordinance ; not of the Phy sician, but of the Prefect." After reading a great number of extracts, the King's Advocate concluded by requiring that the seizure of the petition should be declared valid, and copies' be detained ; and further, that the Author should be sentenced to 13 months' impri sonment, 3,000 francs fine, and the expences of the M. Berville, counsel for the defendant, made some legal objections to \ the prosecution. He wished the trial to be postponed in order to dis cuss the question of the libel itself. The Court withdrew to deliberate, and on returning pronounced the following decision : " Whereas the passages charged in the reprehensible work of the .Sieur Couvier, published with a view still more repre hensible, are not sufficient 'to constitute the offences provided against by the law, the Tribunal dismisses the complamt insti tuted against the said Sieur Couvier." VIENNA. Nov. 16.—An account from Corfu, of 24th Oct., gives us an extract from another of the 21st of the same month, from Prevesa, containing some more recent particulars of the ex pedition of the Turkish Commanders Omer Brine and Mehe niet Pacha, against Missolunghi and the Gulf of Lepanto.— These accounts say, that Mehemet Pacha was at Kachori, and had possessi, of the greater part of Acarnania. Omer Pacha was advancing in the same' direction by way of Arta. Several Chiefs of the Insurgents in Arcania had submitted to the Porte. Nothing farther had been heard of the Suliots since the emigra tithi to Cephalonia. It was, however, thought doubtful in Corfu, whether the Turks, even though they should make great progress on this side, would be able to accomplish the conquest of the Morea in the course of the winter, without a powerful operation from the Isthmus of Corinth. The plague still prevailed in Arta and Joannina, but had of lata 'rather abated.—( Austrian Observer, Nov. 17:) MARSEILLES, Nov. 4.—We have news here that the Turkish fleet appeared oft' Scio in the middle of October, and took on board fresh provisions on the coast of Asia Mi nor. It was inferred from this, that the fleet would not yet return to the Dardanelles, but undertake an expedition against some island in the Archipelago. An attack on Samos was par ticularly spoken of as probable, but up to the middle of Octo ber it had not been made. Many persons are of opinion that these reports were spread merely to keep up the expectations of the Turks, and not let them sink into despondency, which, in fact, according to the unanimous account of Frenchmen in the Levant, has almost every where taken the place of their former arrogance. Constantinople alone is an exception ; no more moderate system has yet been adopted there to satisfy the just complaints of the' Foreign Ministers. They have most 'of them interfered with great zeal for their countrymen, and de manded the removal of the many burdens under which they suffer. Hitherto the English Legation alone has been success ful in its demands, as the English in general enjoy peculiar favour at Constantinople, and the whole Turkish Empire. The navigation of the Black Sea, and the intercourse with the Rus sian port on it, is an eyesore to the Turks, and they do every thing on their part to obstruct it. TRIESTE, Nov. 4.—FrOm the depositions of the Captains of the Austrian vessels that have arrived at Trieste from Smyrna within a few days, it appears that two Austrian brigantines, the Palemon and the Sincero, commanded by Captains Calvi •and Palini, and accompanied by an armed brigantine, had sailed from Smyrna, laden with provisions for Napoli di Romania ; that- they were taken by the Greeks, and that two Austrian frigates had sailed from Smyrna to Hydra and Spezzia to demand an account of them, The' Captain of a Sardinian brig, in twelve days from Smyrna, confirms the above, and adds, that the Greeks had carried into Spezzia French ship laden with corn, but that a French frigate had released it, and compelled the Greek Captain to pay an indem nity of 32,000 piastres. The Captain of the Austrian brig Waterloo, in 24 days from Smyrna, relates the same particu lars ; and adds, that the Austrian Ambassador at Constan tinople had sent a courier to the Commander of the Austrian flo tilla, with orders to do his utmost to have the Austrian flag re specled and protected, and not to regard any opposition from the Greeks, of whatever description it may be ; that he had landed at Zea, where he was told that the great Turkish fleet had failed in its endeavours to relieve Napoli di Romania, and had gone either to Suda or to the Dardanelles. TRIESTE, Nov. 11.—The Captain of a ship from Ancona relates that news had been received there on the 6th from Corfu, that Napoli di Romania had surrendered on the 20th of Oc tober to Pietro, Bey of the Mainotes.—(Allgemeine Zeitung, Nov. 21.) SEMLIN, Nov. B.—The post from Salonichi, of the 20th, and from Seres, of the 22d November, is arrived. The late re port, that Abdallah Pacha had disappeared from Salonichi, is not confirmed. Tranquillity prevailed in both these cities.— Three Beys had been sent from Seres to Asia because they had refused to join the corps of Jussuf. Pacha intended against the Mores.—(Allgemeine Zeitung, to Nov. 21.) FRANKFORT, Nov 21.—Accounts from Vienna, of the 16th inst. have been received at Frankfort by express. At the same time that news was.received there of the falling of the French and Spanish funds, letters had also arrived there from Verona, the contents of which were very pacific. They stated, among other particulars, that the Congress would close by the end of this month, before which time all its labours would be complet ed. These accounts have had a favourable effect here on the price of the Austrian funds. VERONA, Nov. 12.-1 t was thought, some time ago, that the evacuation of Piedmont, by the Austrian troops, was a point agreed"upon, in the pFeliminary conferences which took place at Vienna, between Prince Metternich and the Ministers of the other great Powers. It is now reported, however, that unexpected difficulties have arisen on this subject, because Austria judges it requisite, for the maintenance of tranquility in the kingdom of Lombardy and Venice, to retain, for a cer tain time, a numerous garrison of its own troops in the fortress of Alexandria. BRUSiELS, Nov. 25.—Letters from Paris affirm, that several dignitaries of the Order of Malta, now in that capital, have well-founded hopes of seeing their applications, to the Sove• reigns met at Verona, completely successful. The great diffi culty will be to give them an island in the Mediterranean, for the seat of the Order. England will never consent to give up Malta, which insures its maritime supremacy in those seas, and which fortunate circumstances have placed in its hands.— Sardinia ig again thought of, and it is even said, that proposals have been made to the court of Turin, to cede that island, on receivingsufficient a indemnity.—What we say is founded on information received at Paris from Verona, which seems to be of a nature to merit attention. V Gentian Papers assert, that a resolution is again stated to have been taken by the Congress at Verona, relative to in dividuals condemned by the tribunals in their own countries, for political offences, and who have sought an asylum in Fo reign States. SPAIN. MADRID, Nov. 17. For some days past we have had nothing but banquets and merry-makings in the capital—amOngst the rest, the Inspectors- General of Infantry celebrated by a brilliant fete the successes obtained by the national forces in Catalonia. Count d'Abisbal O'Donnel, who presided at this entertainment, proposed that the company should form themselves into a private .company of volunteers: the idea was received with'enthusiasm. The ex- Deputy Golfin was the first to enroll himself; his example was I followed by a great number of the company, and it was resolved that Riego should be invited to join the new regiment. A de putation in consequence proceeded to the house of the General, who immediately hastened to the meeting and enrolled himself amidst vivas. It has been decided that the regiment shall be entitled the Volunteer Company of the inspection of infantry. Another entertainment more sumptuous than the former took place on the 10th, in one of the societies. Upwards of forty Members of the Cortes, and a great number of distinguished Liberals, were present: the Constitution, and Mina's brave army, were repeatedly toasted. On the 12th the clerks of the different Ministers dined together in the street d'Alcala. It is announced that the National Guard will give a second fete in celebration of the triumphs of the constitutional army. Ac counts from Andalusia prove that a similar enthusiasm prevails there ; indeed, the expression of opinion among the wealthy classes is everywhere very decided. The negotiations with Portugal stand precisely in the same situation as before. it appears that the Portuguese Govern ment persists in requiring us to cede Olivenza, which our Go vernment thinks it cannot in honour consent to. The Portu guese troops, however, still maintain their former position on the banks of the Minho. It is rumoured that the influence of England has impeded the execution of the treaty ; the cabinet of Lisbon being not unwilling to enter into one with that Power. On the other hand it is said, that the policy of the Holy Alliance has had some share in preventing the negocia tions between the two nations of the Peninsula from being brought to a conclusion. Government has adopted the most wise and energetic mea sures for ensuring the surrender of Mequinenza. This town is now the only place which the rebels possess in Arragon. When Mequinenza is occupied by the constitutional troops, the rebels will be compelled to retire towards the frontier, where they stil retain possession of Urgel and Irati, their last holds, from which they will soon be driven by the bravery and activity of their oponents. A letter from Burgos says—" The sth of this month (No vember) was a joyful day for the friends of the present order of things. The brave Obregon entered this place with 338 pri soner:s, whom he captured on the 31st of October, in the en gagement with the priest Merino, at Rosa. These unfortunate men, far from being depressed by their fortune, entered the town singing patriotic songs, and shouting " Long live the Constitution ;..Long. live Riego !" At the same time they utered imprecations, against ,the -traitor who had seduced or compelled them to follow him. - They all eagerly demanded arms, that they might march against him or the rebels of Catalonia. The Landaburian Society held a sitting lately, upon which occasion a regiment, composed of children, between 10 and 12 years of age, and commanded by an officer 12 Years old, mount ed guard at the door. General Riego addressed the Society, and in the course of his speech made the following observations : —" Hitherto the people have not experienced the effects of our regeneration, because the reigns of Government have been placed in impure hands ; they have been held by persons who have an interest opposed to that of their country ; and although the pre sent Ministers are actuated by the best intentions, they have found that they have to direct a nation that is paralyzed, or 1 should rather say a nation that is two inches in the grave : time is necessary to restore its vigour and consolidate its resources. In calling upon you to be united, I do not mean that you should maintain a union similar to that of the Annilleros and Caman ists, the partisans of the French Charter; but the union which distinguished the friends of the Constitution in 1812." The Duke de l'lnfantado has been arrested and sent to Ma drid. It is said that he embarked at Corunna, with the inten tion of proceeding to England instead of the isle of Ivies, which wat assigned as the place of his retreat whilst in exile ; a storm having arisen, the ship was obliged to put back, and the Duke was placed under arrest. Government has nominated the ten members of the Com mittee, appointed to examine the claims of the soldiers and mi., litiamen who demand the decoration which is to be worn as a mark of honour, by the defenders of the Constitution on the 7th of July. The Committee have received orders to weigh nicely the patriotic feeling of each claimant, and to let their choice fall only on noble spirits. In the Sitting of the Cortes on the 10th inst., Don Bertrand de Lis addressed that assembly in the following terms :—" As a Spaniard and a Representative of the Nation, I can no longer suffer myself to pass over in silence the continual insults which the French Government is heaping upon us. I there fore feel it my duty to submit the proposition which lam about to state to the consideration of the Cortes. I propose that the Cortes shall direct the Minister fbr Foreign Affairs to demand a pledge from the French Government, that it will no longer afford protection to the degenerate Spaniards who retire into the French territories, in order to conspire against their country. I also propose that the same Minister shall be directed to demand a clear and decisive explanation from the French Government, as to whether it wishes to be considered as the friend or enemy of Spain ; and that he shall communicate the declarations that the French Government may make to' the Cortes, either in a public or private sitting, as shall be deemed most fitting." He then proceeded to state his reasons for mak ing the proposition, and concluded thus :—" Spain has not pro voked, and will not provoke war. Spaniards knoW how to re spect the rights of other nations ; but if the Holy Alliance, or the Cabinet of St. Cloud, provoke a war,' they will always find us prepared to meet it. Spaniards are not so absurd as to ima gine that victory is dependent on their wishes, but they are sa tisfied of the firmness of their character and of their noble' de termination to prefer a glorious death to a life of ignominy and degradation ; they will descend into the tomb with their ene mies rather than submit to be again harnessed to the car of a ferocious despotism. If our enemies, more fortunate than we, should be victorious, they should know that they will be mas ters over ruins only, and not over men who have sworn to the constitution or death.' " The proposition was lost upon a division, tile numbers being —in its favour 54, against it 66. BAYONNE, Nov. 2.1.—A report has just been spread in this city that General Torrijoi, who bad been for some days in the vicinity of Salvatierra, four leagues from Vittoria, at the head of about 2,500 men, had an engagement on the 15th with the united bands of Navarre and. the three provinces, in the valley of La Boronda, and that he completely routed them. We cannot guarantee this news. It is affirmed that three batteries, of eight pieces of cannon each, have received orders to march from this place at the first notice. Major-General Longa arrived yester day at Socca, flying front the Constitutionalists ; it is known that he was implicated in the affair of the 7th of July, and that he had even shown himself on that day. Yesterday some un fortunate inhabitants of Estalla, who had been taken prisoners by Guerquel and Arradonda, and who saved their lives only by promising a snm of money, caused 50,000 francs to be paid to the Defenders of the Faith who are at Bayonne. People even go so far as to mention the- house which has advanced the money, which is truly scandalous. E ARMY. GUERNSLY, Nov. ,c?. 3 . —The following General Militia Order was this day issued here, by order of the Commander-in-Chief:— Guernsey Head-quarters, Nov. 22, 1822. Commanding Officers are requested that the ball cartridges, which may be now in the possession of the men under their command, may be immediately delivered up; for the purpose of depositing them in the regimental store, and to send in re turns of the number of rounds that may be delivered in. (Signed) -P. BREDTHAFFT, Deputy-Inspector. Grange Road, Nov. 22, 1822. In obedience to the foregoing General Orders, Officers com manding companies are desired to direct that the ball cartridges, which are now in possession of the men under their command, may be taken to the .Quarter-Master-Sergeant's house, who has been ordered, on their being delivered up, immediately to see them safely deposited in the regimental store. Returns of the number of rounds that may be delivered in as requested, may be made out by each Captain, and forwarded to me within the course of one week. It is also the order of the Commander-in-Chief that Officers commanding companies are to understand by the General Or der of the 24th ult. that the period of discharge from the Ist, or East Regiment, and transferred to the 2d Battalion of Artillery, is now fixed at the age of 55. To give effect to the said General Order, they are hereby requested to visit their districts, and to furnish me, within one fornight from the date hereof, with the names and places of residence of the men from the age of 50 to 60, residing in their districts, who are not already attached to some militia corps: (Signed) W. COLLINGS, Colonel of Ist, or East Regt. MILITARY RECORD . OF GENERAL WILLIAM MORSHEAD, Late Colonel of the 51st Light Infantry. This Officer was appointed an Ensign in the Coldstream Guards the 23d April, 1771 ; Lieutenant and Captain the Bth February, 1776; Captain and Lieutenant-Colonel the sth Fe bruary, 1783 ; Aide-de-Camp to the King, and Major in the Coldstream Guards, the 2d December, 1795; Colonel in the Army the 12th October, 1793; Colonel of the 60th Foot the Oth December, 1797; Major-General the 26th February, 1795 ; Colonel of the 51st Light Infantry the 9th May, 1800; Lieu tenant-General the 29th April, 1802 ; and General the Ist of January, 1812. He embarked with the troops for Holland in February, 1793, and was, with the exception of the affair at Lincelles, present in every action, in which the Guards were engaged, from that period, till the return of the army in May, 1795. . General Morshead embarked for the West Indies in October 1795; was at the taking of St. Lucie; commanded the storming party at Vigie,in the Island of St. Vincent's ; was second in command under Sir Ralph Abercromby at Porto Rico, and re turned to England in 1798, for the recovery of his health. He went under Sir James Pulteney, in 1800, in the expedi tion to Ferrol, and was placed, in. 1801 and 1802, on the Staff in Cornwall. General Morshead died in the summer of the present year. THE PIRATES. The following are the particulars of the cap ture of a pirate schooner, of about 250 tens and 60 men, by the brig Zephyr, Captain John M'Harrison, from Jamaica to Lon don, and the barge of His Majesty's ship Iphigenia, between Matanza and Double-headed Shot, on Tuesday, 27th August, 1822 :—" On Sunday I went on boird the Iphigenia, in the Havannah, and requested of the Commodore protection for my vessel. Monday morning he sent a barge with 20 men, commanded by Lieutenant Stokes, and, if possible, to decoy the pirate. At day-light- we set sail, In company with the schooner Sarah, of Nassau, New Providence, and continued our course along the coast of Cuba, towards Matanza, keeping the Iphigenia's boat in tow under our lee, being the larboard side, knowing from experience the tract of the pirates. On Tuesday, the 27th, at 3 A sr. between Matanza and Double-headed Shot Keys, hove to (light breezes and fine weather) for the Sarah to come up. At day-light she was about 4 miles distant to wind ward, at the same time saw a suspicious-looking schooner to windward, with a ship in her company laying to. The sus picious schooner bore up, and run down to the Sarah, fired two muskets at her, and brought her to and boarded. The pirate, with American colours, then bore down to the Zephyr, when we hoisted our colours and prepared for action. In cross ing our stern, I hailed her; she answered, " A Cruiser.' I immediately called to Lieutenant Stokes, who was under the lee, to shove off, which he did in an officer-like manner ; we all gave three cheers, and boarded the pirate on the larboard quar ter, drove them forward, and secured those on board in irons ; one of the pirates made a stroke at the bowman of the barge, but without effect. I sentmy boatmanned and armed to recapture the Sarah, which was done, and the pirates who had possession of her were carried on board their own vessel and put in irons, her crew consisting of about 60 men. The pirate proved to be a large two-topsail schooner, mounting six 18-pounders, and small arms in proportion. I then boarded the Neutrality of New York, who was previously detained by the pirate. On the return of my boat, I, in company with the Sarah, made sail to the northward, the barge and prize to die Havannah, and the Neutrality towards New Orleans, Pan of Matanza bearing 'south half east, distant 15 leagues, lat. 23. 52.
