" Lieutenant &borate:der hes stated, in an of&
riot report, the capture or toe above vessel. The fal-
lowing are the particulars as published :
" On the gd rust. in the forenoou, a. brig tyllic'd
NAS kiss,; near the of war at Kauthillotsle hove
a‘iciior, and made sail to the Southward. To-
ards evening it led calm, and she dropped anchor
be.ween °Moe and Langeland. In the afternoon
of the sattie day, oue of the men of war Kot under
way, and stood towards liag,gershoe. tea the et els-
tog continued calm, the Captain, Lieutenant Sown.
sullg Lieutenant Siultf, mot inyselfeesi Ivetl to at.
tuck the brig with,our reap: ctive divisions. The in-
stant we taste insight oldie E.dgar, of 7ttgattai th t
vessel Riede sip,eals to apprise the brig of our •itp.
proach, but a e have since learnt they were not under-
* trod. At ten o'clock at night weivere trithin gals
smut of the Wig, and began the 'attack. She 'struck
her colours at three rtes of an hooraftertem-....
We carried her Iwo the road of Naskou, which,
having acoetrary wind to struggle with all night,
we did tint-reach until eleven o'clock next morning.
—Oaring the action, the man of war and her Loots
st.eaed Slue lights, and threw up rockets, but did
not attempt to take any part in the contest. The
brig is called the Tait rest, commanded by Grven-
swoal, and coffin% too eighteen, • and two ate-
pound bombs. Her crew consisted of about 45 men.'
91 these, one midsh,ptaa,t and eight men made
their escape in one of the boats, soon as the ves-
sel struck, and were not perceived, owing to the
darknedd of the night: There w ere .11011 e •141's led or
wounded en board the gun-boat-. Thu, brig, had
two killed and si7c wounded, one of 'h nn so badly
that he tau scarcely live. She was it uls dainageil
in her hall, and a hall lodged in 1e: mainmatt,
which rendered it entirely unserviceable. The
foresail-yard was also shut away. I'lrs bri4 was
gain with dispatches to Admiral Satunarez, the
Commander has pledged his word of honour that
they a ere thrown overboard. She had on board
some cordage and other supplies for the vessels in
the Baltic."

The American paper* .coutain several letters
which announce an approaching scarcity in Mar-
bulgur. They tend to corrooorate the report of an
insurrection in the island, in consequence of the
distress of the inhabitants. The folloning is an ex-
tract from one of them, dated in June last :—"111,
the end of this 'moth we *hall have no more bread;
to tut on thin island, except some floor arrive flout
Europe. The bakers have given notice that their
flour will all be expended by the let day of July,
and there is not a single barrel for sale. Flour for
tl.e :Ake", and codfish for the negroes, with beef
fir the soldiers, are so necessary, that there is no
knowing what may he the consetptenee of the want
of them. A ship arrive 1 yesterday froth New-
York, and a hrig from New Londoni both were
hoarded in sight of this place l:y British cruisers,
but permitted to come in, not having any cargo mi
board."

the Duke of MANCHESTER to the Wert Indies
