Extraft 0; a letter from Captain MAURICE, GO:
vernor 'ot Anht_k; to Vice-Admiral Sir-1%1%1Es SAU -
NIA 11/IZ, dated DeCeintier 3, 1810:--" The' most,
inelaneholt pit of these distressing circumstances I
have now to rela e. On Monday, Nov. 26, a sloop
had anchorei, during the nigitt, close in with the
beach; the wind on the next dayy-blowing dreadfully
bard, a bottle was p'cked up from her with a letter
frtn Mr. In w stating their perilous situation :
it blew too hard to attempt relieving her.
_Tne
next mot Mug another letter came, still more la-
meotabie ; tne life-boat was launched and put off,
and the life-shell thrown, both of which failed in
getting to her. The Centinel gun-brig was tole'
graphed to send a boat' to render assistance, which
succeeded in getting to her most delightfully, and-
lour passengers got • into the boat to go on board;
when about ten ,yards from the sloop, a sea turned'
her 'completely over, and melancholy to relate, the
whole (eleven in number) perished in the waves !
amongst them Mr. IRWIN, a merchant, carrying on
an extensive trade at this Island, and whose zea in
getting us supplies could not be excelled. His ami-
able disposition and gentlemanly manners.had gain-
ed him the esteem of the whole garrison, and no
one more deeply deplores his unfortunate end than
myself ; indeed, the accident has caused a great de-
:, pression in all our spirits:"
The miSundeystandink
,which took place between
the Bey of Tunis and Mr. Cox,, the American Con-
sul, so far back as August, has not been entirely ad-
justed. The dispute originated in the following cir-
cumstance :-An American ship was capttired by a
French' privateer, and carried into Tunis, where she
was purchased by a Minister of the .Bey's, put un-
der Tunisian. colours, and sent, to Malta. Her for-
mer supercargo being there, appealed to the British
Court olAdmiralty to have her ,stopPed, in conse-
quence of.somelillegality inithe condemnatfon.§They
declined interfering, as out of their jurisdiction. He
then applled to the Tribunal at Melia : they stopped
the ship;-and the case is now in adiudicAtion in that
Court.' The Bey, on being informed of the deten-
tion of ihe vessel, immediately confiscated all the
American property .in Tunis, amounting to 200,000
`dallars,-and though subsequently an off .r Was made
itorestore vessel, he rejected all advances to acCom-
,modation, unless he were permitted to retain the
greater. part of the property he had so unjustly pos-
•sessed himself of.

Crib •bas- not yet returned an answer' to Moli-
neux's challenge,-but he has given l's word that he
will not fight again, unless for double the stakes he
last contended for with Molineux, .
On. Saturday-last. Richman, the Black, introduced
his friend.Motinenx on the Exchange, Wharq a sub-
scription.was wade for. the latter, amounting to 40
guineas. , •

OneA)f the most desperate battles recorded in
the annals of pugilism as fought on Friday last,
On the \Valmer road, near Deal, b ween a Serje,ant
in a•Militia Regiment stationed there, and a Mastur
Tradesman," an inhabitant of Deal. The contest,
which was of a truly sanguinary nature, lasted one
hour and nine minutes, and was finally determined
in favour of the man• of war, . who, though ex-
ceedingly beat himself; literally beat his man about
the head and face to- such a degree, that his visage
could hardly be recogniied as human. At setting
to, the odds were five tot wo in favour of the Trades-
Man,
