GALLANT DEFENCE of rite ATLAS TRANSPORT.
The Atlas transport,
.N 0.403, which 'sailed:
from Quebec on the 24th of June, ,arrived here
yesterday, having on board Lieutenant Sew-Ann,
of the Royal Navy, Agent. for Transports, after
having had a most gallant action with. an Ameri-
can privateer, which she beat off in high style.—
The
.particulars are :--Qn the ;morning of the
170, at 6 A. m. they saw a sail ,ft inn 'the mast-
head right astern, appearing fully in chase. in
some time they were convinced she was an enemy,
and as the Atlas's crew were bat a. handful
compared- to -that of the privateer, Lieutenant.
SEWARD and the gallant tars of t he,Atlas rigged.
out booms on the quarters and bows to prevent
boarding.. At 1, 45 "P.: M. the privateer, neared
them ; the Atlas hoisted her colours, and com-
menced firing her stern chase guns, which she
contintiedtill 2,15, r. M. when the privateer rang-
ed close up On their larboard side,. shewed.:her
American colours, and 'gave ' them a broadside.
The compliment was sooo.ret tuned and with great
effect,. Then a close actiont commenced, running
before the wind,, firing grape -and cannister. At
2, 54, p, ri. two of.the AtiaS's larboard gutiswere..
dismounted---the enemy then before her heani...-
The Atlas sheered across his stern,: and ,raked•
him with her •starbOard' broadsick, which
geared to take the best effect; as'the enemy ceas-
ed firing, battled his wind,..on. the. starboard
,
tars., apparently as if unwilling to encounter
other shot: The Atlas having in all.but twenty-

proves to lie the York: 'mounting 14,guns. and
150 men. The Atlas mounts only ten gtins,.lB-

praise cannot be paid to Lieutenant SEWARD, for
his
.gallant defence against so very superior a
force. This Gentletnan pays the highest compli-
ments to lir!, Pußvis, whose intrepid conduct
'and prudent arrangement was admired by the
crew. 1110RoAN FAIRCLOUGH, Master of
the. Atlas, and JOHN ADDISON, Chief Mate, con-
ducted themselves with the greatest 'coolness and
bravery, as did the whole crew, Mr. YouNq's
'sons, the eldest not sixteen years Ohili armed them-
selves with muskets, and were induced with the
greatest difficulty to quit the deck, and not unti).
