Loss OF HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP Avote—Thursday
last, his Majesty's ship CASTILIAN, Lieutenant LLOYD,
(Acting) and Avow, Honourable Captain An-
BUTUNOT, having sailed hence about a month ago,
gave chace to an American schooner privateer,
(having previously recaptured a vessel taken by
her) but owing to the superior sailing of the Cas
TILIAN, she left the Avow a considerable distance be-
hind, who, after a short time, found herself in sight
of a vessel, which she hailed and Lf,manded wh,
she was ?—upon which she replied, heave to, and I'll
let you know who I am" this was about nine o'clock
at night* and fired a gun at the Avon, when a most
sanguinary action commenced, which continee3
until eleven o'clock ; she then sheere ! aid

ing state, and glad to get off. The AVON then
fired signal guns to the CA, it LAN. Upon the CAS.
newt coming to 'he Avow, she 'fell h with the
Wasp, and demanded who sae was which she
made no answer. The Cas.tetax lufied under her
lee quarter and gave her is hreadside, and then hail-
ed again—but no answer, nor yet a single musket
fired. The CASTILIA* finding the sinking state of
the Aver, made every effort :o save the lives of her
brave crew ; fortunately the whole were saved.— '
As the last boat with the wounded had got about
half way to the CASTILIAN, the AVON went down
head foremost.
We lament to say that between the second and third
broadside, Lieut. PRENDEROAsT, the gallant First
Lieutenant of the AVON. received a mortal wound
across he belly, from a grape shot, while in the act
of cheering the crew. The Avow lost nine killed and
SS wounded. Asloon as theCiturteete had diseharr
ed the duties of humanity, in taking on board the
AvoX's crew, she made all sail for the Wasit. who
appeared so cut up as to be in a sinking state, but
could not make out any trace whatever of her.
