CAPTURE OF A SLAVER.

- -- • ---
The following is an account of the capture and de-
struction of the slaver Tres Amigos, a Brazilian brig of
415 tons, with ten officers and forty-six men, by her
Majesty's steam sloop Devastation, R. Levinge, com-
mander. "On the morning ot March 16, being in Jet"
5.30 N., long. 3.10. E. of Greenwich, the Devastation
chased a suspicious looking brig, which, on seeing her,
immediately made all sail, and ran in towards the land-
After a chase of sh. 30w., with all sails set, and
making eighteen revolutions in the minute, firing the'
long gun loaded with shot, at 10h. 45w., the stranger
hoisted a Brazilian ensign at the main, and in a quer
ter of an hour from that time she ran upon the beach+
near the river Lagos, in lat. 6.20 N., long. 3.10 B. 01
Greenwich. Two boats were seen to leave the brig,
filled with men, who escaped to the shore. The steamer
having come close up and anchored, immediately manned
and armed her boats, and sent them on board, wide:
command of First Lieutenant P. M. Godfrey, winit'
acting Lieutenant J. M. Carmichael, and Mr.
Couts, boatswain. They found the brig well armed'
two long eighteen-pounders on pivots, one between the
masts and the other abaft the mainmast; two broadside
guns forward (eighteen-pounders), and two brass swivels
on the bulwarks of the quarter-deck ; also nettings to
repel boarders, ammunition, muskets, cutlasses, bilge-
derbusses—in fact, every kind ot weapon tor defend'
ing a vessel. The surf wes very dangerous, one of the
boats of the Devastation being dashed to pieces along'
side the slaver, and the crew washed ashore ; one
also upset, and was driven ashore by the rollers,
and the brig in a short time became a total wreck.
The officers and men, after cutting away the rnie
with their cutlasses, found is necessary to swlel
ashore for their lives. The brig parted amidshiPe•

man who had been looking out at the mast-head o
the slaver was seen in the surf, heavily ironed, saving
been thrown overboard by the captain tor not keeping
a better look-out and seeing the cruiser before. The
tbut
Devastation's crew tried to save the poor fellow, "
his irons took him down. The surf ran to high as t°
make it quite impossible to get off to the Devastatief'
so the men had to remain ashore till the next wow
ing, when the paddle box was anchored at the
back of the surf, and the dingy being well buoyed ap
with cork fenders and bunkers, was veered saner:
by hauling lines. After various attempts, which
proved successful, in embarking the men, they were el
got off. The French man-ot-war brig Leger renderea
every assistance in trying to get the men off. Too null
praise cannot be given to the captain, officers, an
s"
ship's company of this brig for their valuable services.
All the prisoners, ten in number, who were found on
board the brig, were saved. The Devastation ;has also
taken an American brig under Brazilian colours, with
520 slaves on board, bound to Rio. The Trez Amigos
had made several successful trips from the coast. OA
the last voyage she landed at Bahia 1,400 slaves."
