for Baltimore, to inform you that Prcsident
cbxi5t0phc.has ctscquesteted all the Anteri

pinions, and will continue to sequcstcr all
th! tthich mzsiy arrive, kith the determina

sict We intimatcd our Opinion that Commo
dorc Portcr, who distinguished himself by
nindesatigach vigilaucc to break up the
man of) privattcr'iug sswhiczh has been so
king and so disgracefuny carried on 'smm
NeU—Odsstsi-ans, had been removed upon the
demand of the French minister. We ne
tetsihssnsidn 29} doubt of the fact ; but recent
Silvctices from France consum the surmise
ltappcars that Turreau made such t':- prt - (
untations respectiogthcdctcmion ossiFtcnch
privatceu, as threw his impcrial sansctiiottc i
majeuy into a rage. The Hornct was or-i
dered to be seiZc-d,"but precipitatcly escap
ed. In all probability the Essex frigatcz
which was. so suddenly dispatched with the
dip trap proclamation; and the szbt-icated
declarntion of the government paper, that
it was promptly inned the: very day after
the officialsslctter ofss Cadnre was received,
will sail into the some that the Hornct LS sisi
tapcd. By the way, in cannot help tsic
marking, that the hate with which thisss-ssi
gate has been Sent oﬀ, has deprivsid =h
community of assu interesting and safe Op
Pottunity of correspondvnce, which was
their right, but 'which has been dcnicd them

On Wednesday, let of Octoher, snihd
from Providence, R. [. bound to Pcms
bnrgh, Virginia. Came to anchor abouz 5si si
miles down the tivcr and prepared for sea, *
Thursday, at 6 A. H. wind at N. etqod
down the river and wctent to sea. At S P.
Msi. Btock Island bore VV- by N. distance 4
leagues; fresh gales commenced from the
North East: On Friday following at eight
o'c'lock in the morning a heavy sc'pall struck ;
us, split our gib, parted the boom tackte '
and topping, and carried awafmainsail and
main b'oom ; cleared the wreck ahd imme
diately after found our vessel had sprung a
leak; all hands turned to at the pumps in
,order to free her, finding it impossible and
the gale encreasing, we went to work clean"
ing the cabin, to get at the tun scuttle, and
throw over part of the cargo, and on exa
m'ination found that she had made in a
short period 2 fret of water, all handS'busi
ly employed in pumping and bailing—saw
a schoOuer to the windward, distance four
or five miles, hoisted Þnr colors Union
Down as a signa} of diststct'ess—bnt she pass
ed us without notice, all hands still employ
ed with difficulty to keep her above water.
Saturday, gale continuing from the N. W.
saw another sail, but obtained no relief.
We continued our exertions, though almost
exhausted, to keep the vessel aﬂoat, and
prevent, is possible, the water from getting
at some casks of unslacked lime, which was
'stowed inssher wings in the hold. Another
more gloomy night now presented itself,.
through which we continued our exertions.
Sunday morning, 8' octclock, saw a sail to
leeward bearing S. E. distance about three
leagncs, hoizted sign_al,si Union Down as
before, which was immediately answered
on board the hrig by hoiscing'colors, andsi
heaving their m'ajn'toctpsail to the mast, upon
which we hOistcted the head ofour soresail,
the only remaining sailsiwe had, and then
endeavored to wear round ;' the sloorz be.
ing greatly water--lossgged, ahd the sea ve
rv heavY. We, however,eﬀected'our_ob-,
ject, and immediately stood in the brig.
Soon after this, in passing the water thro'
the cabictn oversithe companion way, the dis
covered the lime in the hold had taken fire,
by thezsmoke which came through the hall:
head: we found one of the pzancct shears
had burst; and the main deck so her that
we could sensibly feel it with onr feet, al
though the sea snccessively made a fair
breach over the vessel. At half past eleven
came withinhail ossfthesi brig ; gave the a

lives in danger. . Capt. T. immediately an

and checked our sunken and despondmg'
