{ )geWe have spired no trouble this morninoiY to
~
quire:ao a =re& knowledge of the faets, conneeted
.with: the villainous sotiure of a valuable Ship within
‘ohr,own waters. The case of the Othello, as far as
'l4e are permitted to state at present, is this :—The
Othello was an 'American Ship', commanded by
Captain GLOvpa, bound froni Liverpool .for Balti-
more, and came to an anchor last Sunday morning
in the Patuitenr, being a more agreeable harbour
.with a head wind than the open Bay.. Sortie time
after, the Captain of. the French Frigate Patriot
came on board the Othello, where he continued two
hours. The behaviour of the French Captain was
gentlemanly, and he obtained from Captain-GLovaa
some English Newspaperi. Soon after' the French
Comanimder 'had returned to hiS Ship, Captain G.
discovered a Schooneralongside the Patriot, which
payed to be a French Privateer. Shortly after she
4aine up, and commenced firing on the Othello.
liii'Privateer had discharged several vollies of Mus-
etrsii,a hall from one of which passed through the
ateiCaptain Cr,'s Mate, when Captain G. sent off
I
Cbeat to enquire into the cause of the assault. The
aptain 'of the, Privateer commanded Captain G.
and his Officers to repair with his papers on board.
his. Vessel. The Commatid,r of the 'Privateer said ,
he would make a prize of the .othelb, as coming
from an English port, and of the cargo, being
British inantit;itture. He acknowledged his inter-
course with the „French Frigate; by stating, that be
had read the :Papers which had been received• by
.her Commander from Captain G. ; after which,
oeing asked what had been his business ale.,gside
file Patriot, he answered, that he had an iron made
fur his rudder by her bi .cksmith. The Commander
• of the Prwateer,, it appears, had offered a pilot-boat
lot; dollars to take him, with the Othello, out of the '
!Caiik clear of the Briti.,h Squadron:' The pilot
'retused; 'OM we are not informed, whether from
this:cjrcumstance it was the Othello was liberated.
A tUil statement is preparing tin- the public, of this
outrage. From the relation of a respe&able Gen-
tleman, well acquainted with the facts above stated,.
we are inclined to believe that. the Privateer was
tountettanced. by the Captain of the French Frigate
Patriot. This impression, vice acknowledge, is pro-
duced ..by the assertioit of the P'rivateer's Captain,
that the Captam of the Patriot supplied him with .
14 1)01, and offered him i 00. ' At such, a crisis as
the present, when we are surrounded with enemies,
we must be permitted to protest against ti'e do&rine,'
that commerce should prole& itself. If we are not
to have a Navy capable of guarding the entrance of
our ha. hours, yet we shouldtertainly maintain a su hi-
Cient force to expel tronl our rivers such a con-
temptible robber as cannot carry nine-pounders.",

(FROM THE lIALTIAIORE AMER! CAN, OF THURSDAY,

- . AUGUST 27]
" The information furnished by 'Captain Rton,
of the schooner Three. Sisters, relative to the Ship
Othello, Captain GLOVER, which . appeared under
the Marine Egad, in yesterday's American, excited
in the minds of our merchants and citiiens conSi•
derable anxiety with respect to the fate of the latter
vessel. In consequence, two vessels provided with
sweeps, and full of spirited nariners, and detacb,
`ments from some of our Volunteer Corps, went in
pursuit of the Othello on Tuesday and others
prepared to proceed on the follotvoig, morning. No
other itifermation than that furnished by Captain
Rtcu has reached u 4 in a distinct shape. Captain
DCAGLE, who. arrived here 'yesterday,. did not see
the Othello in the Bay, nor had -he heard any thing
nti he affair 'until he reached this place. Various
conjures have been made relative to the pilot-
boat-built SChooner, said to have. '.captured the
Othello. The. alacrity with' which our new-raised
Volunteers tciriied Out, tb go in pur;ai t of the enemy,
does thews infinite honour." • •.
A Gentleman-from Baltiovne, who arrived at
Philadelphia in the Newcastle Packet, says, that
sobw after they left Baltimore, they spoke the boat
sent after the Othello on Thursday returning to
port, who' said t lis Othello was coming up after
them, and was then as high as Anopalia, but could
nnderStand nothing farther, as the Packet passed the
boat too.qUick.

Wenteinforined that' General Toutte'Au, the
French Minister 'to the United States, who is now
in this city, on hearing the report that the pirates
who had seized the Othello had been eduntenanced
and assisted by the. Commander of the Pdtriot,
ini-
mediately sent down a commission to enquire into
the business,
„%tiith the

States, to be proceeded against, agreeably to the
laws of the country. Captain COM EGYS has gone
