cutter privateers, between Huntley and 1714mbiro'
Head, who, after making fignals to ench other, bore
down upon the Trafalgar, one on each quarter, as if
with an intent to board ; but the wind blnwing firong
and the fea runnirg high, Captain ROSE fitcceeded in
making his efcape, and arrived rife in the Humber

from t 2 to ta guns each.
A remarkable occurrence took place laft night in

kind the poor fellow l y the breaft, and bit him with
as much fury as if he nad been a bull at the flake.

who !offered the greater! agonies. The unfortunate
man, however, was no former releafed,thao the owner
of the dog became alarmed, and held the animal fail
between his legs, to prevent itisd,,ing further mifehief,
until it was fuggefied by the wounded man that the
matter of the dog fhould be taken into cußody; when '
the latter again let look the dog to All hint in mak•

withßanding the blows and kicks he received from the
furrounding crowd : fome of them attacked hint with
Imives, and others with flicks. Neverthelefq, the dog
continued to defend himfelf with fuchintrepidit 7, tWat
