GALLANT DEFENCE. The following is an account of a gallant an Illccessful tlefettce wade by Captain MiGLkstsArt, 4 . the brig Margaret, of Glasgow, agai , ist a pi `ate, on the 13th October, the day after leaving It. Tlig9)"s's " At 9 P M. a cutter-rigged vessel came bear dowu from tV intlward, and hailed us, ordering is to heave to, at the some time crossing our stern. On our tkinanding who he was, he immediately fired on board of us, carrying away part of otir running, rigging ; again hailing - and ordering us instantly to send our Wing ra- Hitt. unprepared to make resistance so nnexpec vely, th e b oa t was lowered clown, and the master proceeded alongside with Hs papers, and was questioned concerning his cargo, and if he had hot a (paucity of dollars on board ; and was ex tremely anxious for information regarding Ante 6can vessels, apparently wishing to fall in with them. ‘Vishing to know what he was, Captain 144 G. inquired it he was not an Independent pri vateer? Ile bluntly, and•with much hesitation, haswered, yes, ordering him on board again, and to lay to till morning, when he would board hint. Immediately on getting on board, with the ad vice and assistance of Mr. Stretch and Mr. Lle- Wellyn, patsengeis, we resolved to defend the -yes el with our lives, being convinced that they were tkctermi- ed pirates. Got our guns in order, when she came alongside of us in the morning, under Fre lle k colours, and again fired into us—hauling down his French, and hoisting a red flag (the signak we supposed for hoarding), when we gave Lim su c h a reception as he little expected, from a well-directed fire from our two nine- pounders, which were loaded close tip to their muzzles with round And grape, and cooper•' rivets ; soon after which, nearly cleared hi , deck or all tl►e men On our cheering him in the smoke, he instantly dropped the peak of his mainsail, wore round, anti made the best_ of his way towards the land. We made sail after him, still firing into him, but from lii, superior sailing, he soon distanced its, or we shot►ld have captured him, as only three men appeared on ,deck, the remainder killed or wounded. She was a square sterned cutter-rigged vessel, bad a long gun mounted on her forecastle, manned with at least 25 met►, Nramards, Dutch, and Blacks, all well-arrnen ; painted black with a white moulding, white bottom, and a trunk upon deck similar to what Ametican pilot-boats usually ►tad, and about 40 tons." • WATERLOO MONUMENT.—It is reported that the _Commissioners tor erecting this .National Structure have fixed upon St. James's Park. The: canal there being tilled up, a beautiful promenade may be formed round du• edifice, which will thus be in the neighbourhood of all our most important places_of resort., in the view of two palaces, and immediately in the presence of the military pa rade, whence a great p:rrt of those issned,.wbose achievements it will commemorate. A superb arch being formed, where the ruins of St. James's Palace now stand, a road, as see learn, is intend tb pass through the Park diagonally to S.orey's Gate ; and, as that gale has hitherto been appro priated to the use of the Royal Family it will be a. concession, not an exclusion, to make this toad a • privileged one for Peers, or Members'.of the two [louses, in their way to and front Par liament. Through the arch, the Vaterloo Mo turne'nt will he visible from St. James's-street. The Co.intess of WESTMORELAND, who left England about six weeks since for Paris, intend ing to proceed shortly to Spain, has been detained in the former city, by indisposition, and is. nii‘e expected to pass the winter iu the South of kkance.

The late Sir HUGE ACKLAND, of Devonshire, apparently died of a fever, and was laid out as dead. The nurse, with two of the footmen, sat • up with the corpse, and, the weather being at the time extrem►ly cold, J.,ady Ackland sent them a bottle of . brandy to drink in the night. One of the servants told the, other, that '' the old boy, their roaster, dearly loved a little, brandy when he was alive, and he was resolved that he should take one glass now he was dead."•t The fellow accordingly poured out a bumper, and forced it down his throat. _A gurgling imme diately ensued, and a violent motion of the neck and upper part of the breast. The other footmari and tl►e nurse were so terri&d, that they rats down stairs, and- the brandy genius, hastening away with rather too much speed, .tumbled down - head foremOst. The noise of the fall and his dries alarmed a young gentleman, who slept in the house that night ; who got up, and went immedi.►tely to the .room where the sup posed corpse lay, and to his great astonishment, saw Sir liugh sitting upright. He called the ser vants. Sir Hugh was put into. a warm het, and a Physician and Apothecary sent for. These gen tlenten► in a few weeks perfectly restored - their pa tient to health, .and he lived s everal years after wards.

He was soon orposed by a vast multitude, and at length compelled to order the soldiers to fire.— This "dreadful alternative was not resorted to until Mr. Molony and his small party had been surrounded by upwards of 200 enrag.. eel assailants.
