rmaica Papers have te,,ched us to the 14th of
February. From these we learn the following par-
ticulars respecting the Amethyst, lately captured by.
the Southampton Btitish frigate :.--
" The crew of the Amethyst, a fr.gate belonging
to CHRITOPII e, it should seem, mutinied, and seiz-
ing the vessel, took her into Maragcane, one of the
polls in the Department of the South, in the hands
of a French party, where a Frenchman took the
command of her. Information having been giver!
at the same time, that a sloop of war, and a brig,
belonging to CH RISTOPHE, were_ also at sea, the.
Amethyst was fresh manned with Frenchmen and
others, and proceeded in quest of them; but instead
of meeting with what they sought for, they had the
luck to fall in with the Southampton, Clio. YEOA
wIJo felt himself fully justified in captuiing
The Amethyst was so complete a wreck after the
engagement, that it was with difficulcy she could be
kept ab ,ye water. Tue nearest purt was Port-
au- Prince, into which she was carried by the per-
missi9n of PETION, who afforded Cwt. YEO
every
accommodition. On the Bth of February she was
titted'out with jury-masts, and was about to sail fot
Pot t Royal, in Jamaica."
