EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROMHALIFAX, DATrD JULY 5.
" nit is to advice you of an important event, which has lately
taken place off the Cape-. of Virginia: The American frigut.• f-
apeak, of 44 guns, Commodore Dna aox, wen !clown to have
Cenral deferrers from our fhipe, lying off Norfolk (watching the
French), on board her. Reprefentations of the faeft had been, an
as 1 am informed and belirve, made to the American Secretary o
the Navy, to which no fetisfadlory ar.fwer wit give.). Ciptain
Dounens, fenior Officer on that Ration, knowing the Chefipealt
was about to fail for the Mediterranean, ordered the Leop.ird to
cruize for her off the Cepcn, and to examine her for th,e. deferters
Accordingly, when Captal:% liust rumen- s who commends the
Leopard, came up with the Chefapeak, he Lint a boat on board,
With advice of the information, he had received of the deferrers,
and his orders to fearch 14 them. CommAarc 13mi an x rein:lag
to allow the fearch, Captain kit!lit P:IR crs fired Lycra I (hots.
which the other paying no attention to, he at length tired a broad-
fide, which fhe returned by fix or I,.ven fcattering guns, and, on
receiving a Rend brJadiltle, ftruck her colours. On examina-
don, the defertera, to the number of five or fix, were kurid, au 1
proved to be the very men who had been demanded.

1' In this !bort rencontre the Cliefapcak had fix men ki:lcd, and
twenty-one wounded and :145 retut red into port very much (hat.
tare. The above is as neatly the ftate of the cafe as I can
from verbal commit iration, not having feat any written account
of the hulinefs. I am farther informed, that tl,• initaNtants of
Norfolk, at a Town !Stetting (Lice, have entew.d into come vi lent
renlutions, and have prohihked i•ilintercoarfe with our Uri, and
all fupplixs of water and provifinns.

" This affair, I am i:.formeJ, took place on the 13J of June,
and, as far as I can learn, has been condudol with great coolnefs
and temper by Captain HUMPlill&Ti. Wil4t will be the refult
time Inuit determine; but if we give up the right of fear& we
than foon be oblioetl to refigo the empire of the (las. This goes
by the Sylvia cutter, difp itched by Admiral BE 11KF.t.17, with the
account to Government:*
