The New Bedford Mercury furnishes an inte-
resting narrative from Captain Bennet. of hit cap-
ture by the pirate Benebedos, his sufferings, and
providential escape.
On the 9th of January Captaio Bennet arrived
and anchored under Point Romaine, fur the pur-
pose of obtaining vegetables for'his crew, most of
whom were sick with the scurvy. Early the next
morning he lauded with one boat. Sevicg no inha-
bitants, he, with his boatswain, weal about half a
mile into the country, when they were suddenly
surrounded by Afoot 20 Spaniards, made prisoners,
and sent under a strong guard fur the interior. The
rest of the boat'. crew seeing this. made for the
boat, and fortunately escaped, one mu only being
slightly wounded. Captain Bennet was told by the
party who took him. that their object was to con-
vey him to the strong hold of Benebedu, 40
leagues in the interior. After excessive travel.
ling on mules, a distance of about 50 miles,
over mountains and through almost iinpuseable
swamps, he arrived art the riser Lebo, and at dark
was carried about two miles from that posh into a
swamp, where he found an enoompment of about
two hundred and fifty soldiers, commanded by an
old cacique. This detachment appeared to he a
wandering party. having no provisions, and being
otherwise in a wretched condition. Here was
held a council of war, and it was agreed to put
Captain Bennet and his boatswain to death imme-
diately, lest they should escape iu the night. Cap-
tain deanet remonstrated against tLis cruel con-
duct, declaring that he was an American, but to
no purpose ; they only laughed at his entreaties,
and asked if' Captain Russell • and Captain Clark,
kc. were not Americans? Through the influence
of so officer, however, with whom Captain Hewitt
was acquainted, they agreed to spare their lives
until morning. Having put a strong guard (nf
about twenty) over them, the soldiers went to their
different watch-fires. Between the hour. of nine
and ten the party were alarmed by the discharge
of one hundred carbines, at not inure than fifteen
yards distant. This fire proceeded from a body of
Patriot troops, who hrd come upon them by suns
prise, and on their rising from the ground the
Patriots kept up a constant fire and cut them down
by dozens. Fortunately for Captain Bennet his
guards were all either killed, wounded, or deserted,
which gave him a chance to escape. Accordingly
he and his boatswain crawled under the cane breaks
about half a mile and concealed themselves. The
firing continued about three-quarters of an hour.
The attack was so sudden that Captain Bennet
could not then learn by whom it was made, and
therefore thought it must prudent to keep con-
cealed, and if possible to find his way back to
the ship.

Considering himself in great danger of being
discovered in his place of concealment by the nu-
merous hordes of dog, that infest this country,
Captain Brunet consulted with his boatswain ou
the best measures to he adopted. It was concluded
to endeavour to regain the sea shore, distant about
ten miles, as they judged they might secrete them-
selves more securely among the rocks that bor-
dered on the sea. Accordingly. with this intent,
they set forward, groping their way (the night
was very dark) sometimes on their hands and
knees, over rocky mountains and swamp., end
through streams of water, bruising and tearing
their bodies in a most shocking manner ; their only
means of guiding their course was by following the
current of rivers. Captain •Benort relates that
while fording a river they aroused the dogs in a
camp at a few yards distance, and that they were
obliged to remain perfectly quiet in the water for
half an hour, until all was again still. At dry
light discovered the sea-shore, and concealed them-
selves in a cavity of the rocks during the whole day.
As soon as it was dark commenced their jonroey, es
nearly as they could calculate. for Point Romaine,
iu hopes to find the ship there. After travelling
the whole night, encountering difficulties scarcely
less than 'how of the night preceding, at day-light
in the morning arrived at the top of a mountain.
from which they discovered the point where they
left the ship, ten mile. distant. Fearful lest they
should again fall into the hands of Benebedas's
men, they concealed themselves among the rocks.
but soffering snitch from hunger they resolved to
pot all at hazard, and about nine o'clock renewed
their journey. Ahoat 12, arrived at Point Ito-
maine, sad found the ship had gone ! Their since-
lion now appeared hopeless i..deed; all the mote-

The following is an extract of our letters from
Bayonne, dated the old instant :—" An express
which left St. Jean Pied de Port this morning,
brought us the following intelligence:—General
Lopez Banos has executed the able manceuvre
which he had conceived for cutting off all retreat
upon France, from the rebels commanded by Que.

debouched from his position at Otchogaria without
having burnt a single priming. Seeing theniselsea
cut off, the emigrants refused to fight, and retired
into the centre of the' inlley of Ruucal. lu that
position they were still more compromised, as the
national troops were statimsed iu their rear on the
heights of Banca, between the valley of Runcsl
and France. We expect every moment to hear of
a decisive action, as the rebels can no longer avoid
the combat. All the account., therefore, which
have been circulated for some days of their pre-
tended successes are false. Au individual who has

TRIESTE, JUNE IS.

An English vessel arrived yesterday from Corfu
with dispatches for Sir T. Meltland, and letters
from the lonian Islands; their contents are favours
able to the Greeks. There has been a battle be-
tween the Sulistes and the Tusks, which lasted
three dap, ; the Turks were repulsed, and the Su.
liotea made 600 prisoners, amongst whom were 50
Turks of distinction, whose ransom has been fixed
by the Greeks at 500 purses. In this battle the
Greeks lost one of their bravest Chiefs, Captain
Kivros Zsvelles. A corps of Mormites has arrived
at Miasolonglii to reinforce the Suliotcs and be-
siege Prevesa. General Normsint liar also advanced
with another corps toward, Artu. Prince Mauro.
cordato has arrived at Mitroloneki with General
Tahokos and several Foreign Officers to direct the
military operations of Epirus. They came by sea
with a considerable corps of troops and eight pieces
of cannon. Markus Boixiaris is about to embark
for Albania with 1,000 met] to mameuvre in the
rear of Chourschid, whilst 500 Suliotes attack him
in front, and Maurucordato by the way of Arta.—
The same accurnits state the elipture of Nsuplis ;
the garrison was to embark on board English vessels.
The Provisional Government, in order to prove
that the blockade of the Turkish polls is not merely
a limper blockade, has destined twelve ships of war
for the blockade of Palms enclitic Gulf of Le-
panto, the same ships will observe the coasts of Al-
bania. Oue ship cruises before Mothone, one be-
fore Connie, two observe Athens, four Bober, six
the Gulf of Thessolonica, mid eight the strong
places of Crete. Four Austrian vessels laden %t lin
provisions for Patras, were captured by the Greeks
and carried into Mistiolonglii, but the Government,
in consideration of the great power whose flag they
bore, ordered them to he released on condition of
selling their cargoes in a Christian port.
The Turks are again cotutoittiug the greatest ex-
Ceases in the two Principalities. At Jassy they have
demanded extraordinary supplies of grain nod mo-
ney. threatening that, if not obeyed, they will set
fire to the town. As to the evacuation, or rather
the non-evacuation, nothing is changed, every thing
remains on the old footing.

The sudden departure of prince Chlowkin, the
Russian &boater at the Court of Vienna, is much
talked of in oar diplolnatic circles. The depattore
of this diplomatist is generally regarded es a conse-
quence of the changes which have taken place in the
Russian Ministry. It is not bttieved that Torki.h
Ministers will be summoned to the approachiog
Coogress if it takes place. European policy,
however, shews itself favourable• to the heroic enter-
prise of the Hellenists, the public taking a deep in-

We receive from all quarters the confirmation of
accounts so important fur Greece, respecting the
eveots of war which have taken place at Tncala,
Larissa. Soli, and Zittoui ; at the latter place the
Turks experienced a complete defeat. The Greeks
have again absodoned themselves to the hope that
the thud enterprise against the Mores having failed.
their cause will not succumb; reflecting persons,
however, still tremble for the future.
