Kntosrox, Sari. 23.—The schooner Young Dasher, SMITH,
from Carthagena, hands us confirmation of the capture of the
Mandeville, after an action of three hours, when she was obliged
to surrender by the superiority of the enemy, viz. a brig and a
schooner, the same vessels which captured the Swift some time
ago, and fitted out of Cuba. They bad previously captured the
schooner Creole, JOHNSON, also belonging to this port.
Seer. 25.—The schooner Mandeville, SHATHICILD, which we
mentioned to have been captured by two privateers, after an ac-
tion of three hours, had two men killed and four wounded. One
of her antagonists was severely cut up, and a number of the crew
killed and wounded. Among the killed was a Lieutenant.
Seer. 26.—Captain SHITHEAD was much ill-treated by the
crews of the privateers which captured the Mandeville, and has
been put in confinement. The attack upon that vessel took place
about seven o'clock in the evening, off Monkey Island, by the
Spanish privateer schooners Panamena and Mascow, and an
English sloop called the Creole, which had been antecedently
captured, and armed with two guns. Only about 50Ibs. of shells
were on board the Mandeville, her goods having previously been
landed. The French brig Charles William, front Havre, with
dry goods, &c. valued at nearly 200,000 dollars, was lately
robbed of the principal part of her cargo, off Sugar Key, by
Ithew piratical cruizers.

Monday being the anniversary of the birthday of
the Duke of Buccuttioit, the ICING% young landlord,
about forty of the respectable inhabitants of Dal-
keith and neighbourhood, dined in Moaatsores inn,
to celebrate the auspicious day, which was spent with
that harmony which the occasion was so well calcu-
lated to inspire.,
Friday morning, the road over Soutra-hill, near
Edinburzh, lay two feet deep with snow.
THE REILLUEN OF THE RIVER TYNE.—The keel-
men have not yet returned to their employment, and
as their engagements with the Coal Owners will ex-
pire on the 31st of the present month, there appears
little probability of their doing any more work this
year. The proprietors indeed have dissevered so
many efficient resources, that their employment here- ,
after will be held by a very precarious tenure. In
consequence of this disposition prevailing, a model of
a steam-vessel calculated to carry eight keels of coals,
has been submitted to the Owners of Fawdon Colliery.
It is calculated that the same number of men now em-
ployed in one keel, will be adequate to its navigation.
Other plans are in contemplation. which, it is con-
ceived, will be of the greatest advantage to the Coal
Owners, though permanently injurious to the keel-
men. These men have so often promised to return
to their engagements, that we have no faith in them.
It was generally understood they were to pursue their
avocations yesterday morning, but this expectation,
as usual, was disappointed. On Friday last, a pro- I
position was made on their behalf, that they would
return to.work if the Coal Owners would give them
1:2 for binding money, and a guinea for a supper ;
1 but this, of course, they refused to accede to.—
