We' quitted Trinidad on the ist inst,
to Kingston, having on board 5.,17 flue slaves, ad
inoculated for the Small-pox, and mostly reuo-
vered. Shortly after we' fell in with the Soiv
Hannah Hill, ROGEES, from Neva Scotia bound to
Kingston, and kept company with her. On the
4th, at six A. AL observed two. Schooners in Iho
west quarter; at nine A. M. commenced a rotnitp;
fight with them, which lasted till ten, and theit-
carne to an ac=tion within pistol-shot,..which conti-
nued throe-quartet's of tin hour; when, having one
man severely Wounded, the Captain slightly, and
three negroes, maintop-gallantotnast, mizen-gtur,
cross jack-yard, braces, lifts, sails, and all the wizen
timing shut away, the gaff down upon deck, at
the same time the Enemy attempting to,board, we
found it impossible to continue the nation any
longer, without great slaughter, and were forced to
strike. The Enemy proved to be the French Na-
tional Schooners Grand Decidet, of one g and two
12-pounders, and 100 men, Capt, BitOUARD, and.
Superieure, of one long lit and two 9-pounders,
and too ,men, Captain JACKS (but which is very,
surprising, took no part in the atttion, althong
within pistol-shot.) The Isle of Vitae then
bore N. and by E. distant 30 leagues i and titer
Enemy, snifter taking possession of both 'Vessels,
hauled their wind, and stood for the harbour of
Aquin, in St. Domingo, where we arrived on 11;ei
following morning, at in o'clock, when the slaves
were immediately taken out of the Margaret, and
divided between the two Schooners; after which
they proceeded to plunder the Vessels of every
they could carry with them, the crew of die
Schooners, at the same time, busy in repairing the
damages sustained by the Margaret in the atlibit,
order to fit her for sea. On the evening of the Gat
the Schooners, with them prizes, left ..Aquiti, in
order to proceed to St. Jagu de Cuba, but on the
Bth they fell in with his Majestyslirig'Jhuaer,
Captain ROGERS, Off Cape Tiburon, woen tney
set all sail, and left the prizes to shift for .thent.
selves,,'which the Hunter immediately took pi-
session of." • -
The Margaret mounts i 4 guns;- six-and ri]iic-
pounders, and had at the commencement ut
adion only: 21 men. The Schooners' took".oui her
fast mate and ten men, and:put on hoard ut her a
prize-master and about 30 men, which were sent
on board the 'Huntrr. Captain 'Liam:Aar) llitn,i.-
