LEVANT MAIL.

We have received by the Levant mail Constanti-
nople journals to the 24th ult., and Athens journals
to the 28th ult., both inclusive, but their contents are
without importance.
We read in the Malta Mail of the 28th.:—.

'• A few days ago, the Maltese merchant polacca
Giuditta, loaded with powder, bound for Ancona,
hoisted her colours to H.M.B. Frolic there lying. The
Giuditta was immediately boarded by an Austrian
officer belonging to a large frigate lying outside,
and carried to sea, the frigate accompanying.
On this being observed by Captain Vansittart, he im'
mediately got the Frolic under weigh, in pursuit, and
reaching the Austrian, declared he had no right to make
a capture of the English ship, and warmly in►isted on
his yielding h. r up. The Austrian refused, and the
Frolic, a mere gun-boat. compared with his giant ad.,
versary, prepared for action! The Austrian, after no
6mall, ',hare of bullying, thought better of the affair.
and gave up his peiz-., declaring that though she might
anchor off Ancona, yet she would not be allowed to laud
her powder. We do not know how the affair finished,
but we must admit the little brig showed fine pluck, and
from what we have heard of Captain Vansittart, any
attempt on the part of the Austrian to carry out his
vies, would have proved of a very queer kind for
Frolic."
