ISLE. Or BOURBON.—We read the following passage in the
report of the Captain of the Adolphe-Fanny, which has arrived
in the river of Bourdeaux from the isle of Bourbon, the follow •
ing statement :—" On the 21st of January, 1841, in 38 deg.
18 min. S. lat., 27 deg. E. long., boarded by the English.
war brig Curlew, commanded by Lieut. J. C. Rest, after hav-
ing tried in vain to evade her. But his orders were supported
by a cannon-shot. This circumstance, together with the un•
pleasant news received at our departure, induced us to believe
that we were prisoners of war. The commander, who came on
board, left us for some time in this painful error, solely, we
suppose, to enjoy our embarrassment ; but before he left us he
allayed our apprehensions, giving us news Hp to the sth of Oc-
tober."
