Extrata of a letter received last week,' by Mr. J.
FEARN, of this place, dated Gibraltar, 20, 1809,
giving a very. distrssing .account of the capture of
the Louisa Henrietta, Capt. HOWARD, of this Port,
by two piratical row-boats :
SlR—Having yesterday received a letter ,from
the Consul•of Majorca, relating the loss of the Lou-
isa Henrietta, I think no time ought to be lost in ac-
quailitiog you with the circumstance. The brig
sailed' froM Majorca on the 17th of May, with a
cargosof brandy, wine, and oil, either for this place
or England; after they•got about two leagues from
the land, two boats came towards them with Spanish
colours : when they came within pistol-shot, they
fired a gun, hoisted French colours, and iminediately
boarded them. lam sorry to say that pour Captain -
Howard, Mr. Clark, chief mate, and two, men were
killed ; the second mate, five men, and three boys,
got into the boat, and made for the shore, leaving
Mrs. HOWARD and a boy on board. They kept up a
heavy fire on. the .bpat, and wounded the -second
mate i 1 the arm, and a boy through the bocly, who
expired in a few minutes after theY landed. I- shall
send you the men's declarations as soon as I can get
them translated into English. The vessel, I expect,
will be carried into Algiers. I shall make every in-
quiry concerning Mrs. HOWARD, and let you know.
J.also find that Captain HOWARD had a quantity of
money in specie on board, also d number of bank
notes."

Letters.have ,bee ti received . from Petersburgh to
the 31st nit. and frcim Riga to the ii th instant. By
these we learn that the report of a general embargo
in the .harbours of Russia riid the Boitic is erroneous.
4t is true that an embargo ,has been imposed, but in-
Stead of being. genera)? it is confined to native ships
only, and its sole object is to prevent theirfalitug
into the handSof the powerful British force cruizing
in that sea. With a license from this country it is un-
derstood that any Russian ships would he pernmed
to take their departhie. Ail the dit#ctilties respect-
ing the American vessels in the port of 4iga have
