'' I embrace the opportunity of writing you by
the job,: Adams, which goes home with the sick and
wounded of the Fleet.—We have lost several brave
men off here, among thcm your friend J. Wm.-
corc and his Captain. We-have taken five Prizes,
large Ships, loaded with powder and ball, bound to
Tripoli, all of which we have sent into Malta,
where they are condemned.
" In the course of twelve days we are to make
a general attack, which, perhaps, will afford subjta
for a longer letter.---A few days ;ago we took three
of the Philadelphia's late Crew in one of the rte.
my's Gun-boats, as they and a numt•er more of them
have. turned 'forks.---S- ips here;C:ovstellation, Con.

The I.n: eachment, according to nor last advices
from Washington, is drawing to an end. On Tues-
day sennight the testimony on the part of Judge

to windward, and at eight o'clock di-icOvered her
to be a Brig, with the French Colours flying. Upon
nearing her, the Brig fired a gun to bring the Curtrr
to, which not being answered, a curt of running
fight commenced at nine o'clock, from which time
till twelve a close engagement was maintained,
when, we are are extremely sorry to hear, the Reto,
'idiom was obliged ro relinquish the unequal contest.
having then but one gun serviceable. The French.
man made two attempts to board, which the dexterity
of Capt. ELMstvi eR E prevented.
On the receipt of this Antelligence, Admiral
Rutty imttlediarely ordered the Brilliant and Dryad
Frigates to put to sea, though the wind blew titsh,

these milers, and the hardy impudence of the Priva„
