Extra& of a letter from the owner of the Char-
:We, htsaxiots, dated Kingston, Jamaica, 1311
July, 1804: It is with cirtremeregret I have to
inform you of the capture of the brig Charlotte, on
her passage from Tout-,la and St. Thomas's, to this
island, on the 22c1 of June, oft Cape Bona, in the
island of Porto Rico, after a very severe affirm with
a French schotiner privateer, which lasted from
twelve o'clock at night, until nine o'clock the rext
morning, with the intermission cf only tan hours.
Every possible exertion was used by Captain Mew-
atom and the crew, the most of whom behaved in

a very pliant manner, to defend the vessel. We
bad, out of our small number, one man killed, and
four wounded : 'on the part of the French, the loss
pas eery great; they bad nineteen men killed, and
eh duper ssely wounded, two of whom died before
we ornved at Mayquez, in Potty Rico; had we
been favoured with any wind, we should certainly
bare either sunk the schooner, or made her sheer
0; bat, by the constant calms, we could cndy get
eat broadside to bear on her, which enabled her to
hap iiiiter onr stern, and annoy us with a severe
lire of musquetry and grape, for full two hours; iu
iceirequence of our loss, and as they attempted
hoarding, we were incapable of further resistance,
''. ouramll. Arms being useless by the incessant firing."
