all those personal attractions that m ike youthful

evidences of sensibility,. that ,ipterest the heart by so
many feelings of sympathy and benevolence for the
objects of the world. It was an interesting spernisei. le
'to see an accomplished abd beautifiil, creature of 17,
with a very respectable fortune, discartlide all the
affections of earth, and devoting herself AO what her
sentiments of religion and piety point out to her as
the most acceptable service to GOD ! Literally all
the Gentry of the town and neighbourhood came to
witness the cevetuouy ; and the pressuie and crowd
were such, that msny were obliged to return unsa-

accomplished for their accomusodatior, by the Gen.

Navy, agent for transports, after having bad a must
gallant action with an American privateer, which
shn beat off in high style. The particulars are a
4, On the morning of the 17th, at six, A.M. they
saw a sail from the mast head, right astern, appear-
ing full in chase. In some time they were convinced
she mesa enemy, and as the Atlas crew were but
a handful compared to that al the privateet. Lieut..
'rant Seward and the gallant tars ot the Atlas, rigged
out booms on the quarters and bows to prevent board-
ing. At one, 45, rat. dr: privateer neared them ;
the Atlas hoisted her allows and commenced firing
her stern-chase guns, which she continued till two,
15, F.M. when the privateer ranged close up on their'
larboard side, shewed her American colours, and
gave them a broadside. The compliment was Rm,
returned, and with great effect. Then a close action
commenced, running before the wind, firing grape
and cannister.
44 At two, 54, T.M. two of the Atlas's inboard
guns were dismounted, the enemy then before her
beam. The Atlas sheered across his stern and raked
him with her starboard broadside, which appeared to
take the best effect, as the enemy ceased firing, hauled
his wind on the starboard tack, apparently as if un•
willing to encounter another shot.
64 The Atlas having in all but twenty•seven men,
including Lieutenant Seward, Lieutenant Purvis, late
of the Provincial Navy, Upper Canada, the Hon.
Mr. Young, Member of the Council, New London.
and his two was, she deemed it prudent to make all
sail to the N.E. At sunset saw the enemy hull down,
under easy sail, standing to the northward.
4. The privateer proves to be the York, mounting
14 guns and 150 men. The Atlas mounts only le
guns, 18-pound carronades. On this occasion too
much praise cannot be paid to Lieutenant Seward.
for his gallant defence against so very superior a force.
This gentleman pays the highest compliments to Mr.
Purvis, whose intrepid conduct and pt udent arrange•
ment was admired by all the crew. Mr. Morgan
Fairclotigh, Master of the Atlas ; and John Addison,
Chief Mite, conducted themselves with the greatest
coolness and bravery, as did the whole crew.
46 Mr. Young's sons, the eldest not 16 years old,
armed themselves with mugketst. and were induced,
with the greatest difficulty, to quit the deck, and not
until Mr. Seward assured them, that their services
would be much more efficient in supplying ammuui-
thm from the magazine, v.hich they did most abun-
dandy, and when they found the cartridges running
'short, they cut up their own blankets to make more.
Their conduct was the admiration ot all on board."

GENERAL HARIVONY.A—A Gentleman said to his
friend the other evening—" Come ! I will give yes
a good old toast, General Hat-irony 1"—" An excellent
General, (observed the friend) but I never meet him
in any family where there is not plmity t.f cash."—
" Oh ! as to that, (said the other) every family may
now secure him as a daily visitor, and opal the sus-
usually cheap terms of a Ticket or Share in the Lot-
tery, which draws on the Ist 01 September ; the Ad-
vantages are innumerable, and you should purchase
without delay ?"

of the two countries hear no more of the shocks of
contending at mien, they have troll to meet the shock
of charging hash.
