We learn from the Master of a ship which was
taken, the following particulars Of an action be-
tween an American privateer and one of our

cruizers :

" On the 7th September, off the 'Madeiras, his
Majesty's ship Esk, of 20 guns, fell in with the
American privateer the Grampus, of 10 guns. The
Esk was under Spanish
colours, with I►er ports
shut, when she was ordered to bring to by the
American. The Esk readily complied, and, when
at a convenient distance she opened her ports,
hoisted English colours, and fired a broadside into
the Grampus, penetrating the hall with five shots,
and killed the Captain and three men. The
Grampus having paid so dearly for her mistak,e
contrived to sheer off with such rapidity, that she
had Made considerable way before the smoke was
cleared, and in consequence sarstaieed no f►n ther
damage."
Tl.e Emulation, BOTTLEY, from Spain to New-
fonndland, is taken by the Syren privateer.

The following particulars, indicating a disa-
greement between Austria and one of the principal
Cantons of Switzerland, are connymnicated to us
from Paris. The fact has been already stated :
" At Berne several persons were arrested, sus-
pected to be spies, and 'on examination they were
discovered to be Austrians. Having, been sent out
of the country, they had the impudence to_ return,
and were again arrested, when the Minister of
FRANcIs interfered, and gave them a safe conduct
through Switzerland. The Authorities at Berne
were very indignant at this interposition of a fo-
reigner, and they made a representation to the
Emperor of AUSTRIA on the irregular proceeding
of his Public Officer, the consequence of which
was, that the Au3trian Minister left Berne."
