NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The following particulars have been received from Jamaica, re-
specting the loss of the Shannon :
" Narrative of the crew of the launch Caron, and more particu-
larly that of the Mulatto Carthagenas, alias Cavanere, who arrined
from the bar of St. Pedro, on the evening of the Bth instant :
" Castesacnv, Juni LS, 1824.—That, on the 18th May, off the
bar of St. Pedro, they fell in with the pilot-boat schooner belong-
ing to Yalafar, owned by Sr. Moles, under the command of Juan
el Valenciano, second in command, known by the name of Ramon
with the cut face? having a compliment of 58 men, one gun (an
eight-pounder), and forty muskets and blunderbusses; that a coun-
tryman of Carthagenas told him that, on the Tuesday preceding, in
seven fathoms water, in front of the Lagoon of Termina, they took
an English skip called the Shannon ; that they boarded her, and
killed the whole of the people on board; that they cut off the head
of the Captain, old stuck it on a pole on the shore; that the trunks
and bedding of the ship were taken on shore; and that the new
Captain, Juan, was wearing the white hat and trowsen of the
Captain ; and that they also took the boat belonging to the narrator's
launch. The pirates afterwards burnt the Shannon, having first
removed the gins, tackle. &c. out of her into the piratical vessel."

Ma. TALMA.—Mr. Telma was the personal friend of
Bonaparte, and was one of the few who dared to speak
openly to that ruler; and by his candour and good con-
duct he has continued, notwithstanding the liberality of
his political opinions, to secure the friendship of the
leading members of the present dynasty. The house
and purse of Mr. Telma have ever been opened to dis-
tressed talent ; and the most fortunate of the literary
and theatrical world—amongst whom we reckon John
Kemble—were happy to cultivate his acquaintance. But
Mr. Telma has a claim to the good will of Englishmen,
which all their respect and attentions cannot discharge.
-The monument erected in the south of France, at an
expense of more than 20,000 francs to the memory of
the daughter of our immortal Young, was the work of
Telma. There is something romantic and affecting
'about the history of this young lady's death. She was
a Protestant, and the abominable bigotry of the Roman
Catholic priesthood denied to her corpse interment in
consecrated ground. Under these circumstances, the
author of .Fight Thoughts dug a grave for his beloved
child in his garden, and buried her with his own hands.
This affecting scene has been perpetuated by a well-
executed print, published in Paris; and the erection of
the monument by Telma will transmit an useful lesson
to posterity. It is gratifying to state, that this act has
met with the approbation of every reflecting and well-
meaning man in France. Indeed, we are happy to find
that every day brings the well-disposed of each country
nearer together, and that the absurd prejudices of na-
tionality, which once disgraced the English as well as
the French, are nearly extinct. Nothing Is so calculated
to remove them altogether as the encouragement given
to men of talent in both countries.
