His -Majesty's sloop Sappho, at sea, off Down-
, patrick Head, August 13, 1820.
Strt---1 beg permission to express my satisfaction in having
The honour to report that his Majesty's sloop under my •cent-
Mand this morning captared the Clinton pilot-boat schooner,
No: 2-, of New-York, eighty-one tons burden, Oliver Hicks,
Master, and eight men, very deeply laden with a cargo, con-
sisting of five hundred and fifty-seven hales of tobacco, sumo
few erapes.and silks, and almall quantity of teas.
Being close in with Downpatrick Head, at six o'clock, A.M.
the wind` S. W.'sclually, and exceedingly thick hazy weather,
the ckase commenced and vontinued with considerable interest
(at times going•at the rate of ten knots) until eight o'clock, -
by which time we had' chased her round Killala Bay under our
fire, completely succeeded in hemming her in between Kin-
nisharrock Point and Puttoorbeney Rocks—the latter onlydis-
taut one„or•two cables' length, when we were obliged to tack-,
• at the same time (in stays) bwerink the larboard quarter and
stern boats, and ttrok possession of the prize. •

..-N,Jl,—The Clioton is well found, coppered, and corper-
fait etied ; her late master avers, the " fastest sailing boat out
of Americas" and may I add, the most beautiful and perfect
picture- of what the Americans denominate " a clipper."

His Majesty's sloop Sappho, at Sea, off the Staggs
of Broadhaven, 14th August, 1820.
Ste—Obtaining information by a loose memorandum
amongst the papers taken about the person of the late roaster
of the Clinton, that a sloop named the Liberty sailed on the
l nit of July from New York, with a cargo of tobacco, and
finding this corroborated by the oral conununication of her
inebriated crew, I deemed it expedient not only to avail myself
of the information so obtained, but to turn the superior fast
sailing of the Clinton to the greatest advantage for his Ma-
jesty's service; finding thewas very much overloaded, I lighten-
ed her of 90 hales of tobacco, and by so doing, made a material
difference in her rate of sailing. Thus improved, armed, and
furnished with a capital crew and code of signals, I decided in
-my own mind the Staggs of Broadhaven to he the lutist pro-
bable place to intercept the sFoop iu question ; and so manag-
ed (with the Clinton to windward) as to he about eight miles
N.W. from thoie rocks about font- o'clock A. M. of this day.
• Between four and five o'clock, the land about Broadhaven
bearing S.S.W. a critter was deqried W.S.W. standing in for
the land, to which chase was immediately given, and the ire-
'cessary signals, as per log, made -to the Clinton); for at the
first view, I felt 'perfectly satilified, from her very particular
appearance and wavering manceuvring, that she was t he sloop I
anticipated. At 13,30, had her within reach dour guns, when a
few well-directed larboard broadsides added to the Clinton's
musketry to windward, made her desist from any further at-
tempi to escape, and I had the gratification of boarding and
making prize of the Liberty, of New York, 72 tons burthen,
laden with 450 bales of tobacco, George Natvig, master L.
. Armstrong, supercargo; five seamen, and five calling them-
selves passengers; in all, twelve persons.
1 have the honour to he. &c.

The following is the Letter of M. MARIETTI
to his Son, alluded to in the proceedings yester-
day in the House of Peers
" Milan, August 21, Ip2O.
it DEAR Son,—The object of this my letter is only to inform
You that it has been written to Colonel BroWn,'here, that you
behaved yourself ill relatively to• the things which interest
the Royal Court and the Princess of Vales ; for which reason
you are watched to such a degree, that it has been in agita-
tion that a command, called the Alien Bill, should be signi-
fied to you to leave the country, and especially for the express
reason—that you bai'e sought to discover, from this Mr. Sac-
chini, a Milane2e, what he had deposed against the above
Royal Princess. I intimated to the Colonel the improbability
of your meddling in such things, as much on account of con-
trary inclinations, as of your prudent and honourable mode
of thinking. I also imagined that that must arise from some
jealousy of your friendship. with ll:assali ; and as I cannot
doubt, in the least, that you should have departed a moment
from your wise system, I advise you to conduct yourself in
such a manner, with respect to these Royal differences, that
no one may have it in his power even to imagine any thing
'reproachable on your part, whilst you have not lost sight
of the Milanese proverb—' He who serves at Court dies on"
straw. •
• • " Endeavour, rather, that we may be paid what the Glove
Royal Princess owes us for her eummission of Yorkist) at-
tides—paid for by us and not reimbursed
.10 'Ws. I wait
your answer on that subject, such as may heeibibited to the
above-named Colonel., &c. &c.
" Your affedionate FATHER."
