L'Atriveda, Spanish privateer, which has been in
our harbour several weeks, is now completely refitted
in all the graces of " ship shape arid Bristol fashion,"
and on the point of sailing for whatever chances the
fortune of war may bestow. Her last cruize, we are
told, produced no less than 22 prizes in 21 days. Of
5.9nr.w firer crew's disbursement of prize-money has
tot been scanty, We apprehended some of the abuses
of so much excitement under die national predilection
for knives instead of .fisty-cuffs, and ate rather sur-
prised that so little has occurred. Sunday evening
last, however, two of the privateer's crew being en-
gaged on the shore of Cumberland-basin, in a wordy
.altercation, one of the crew of the Wolf, King's cutter,
(also stationed here), incautiously " put in his oar,"
and instantaneously received from one .of the Spa-
.niards two back-handed stabs in the bosom ; but
which, warded off by the .natural shield, are neither
.of them likely to prove fatal. A tedious investiga-
tion by the Magistrates having failed in proving his
I,lentity, one of the suspected foreigners, who had
been taken into custody, was on Monday evening
discharged. A scene or an opposite description was
displayed on board the privateer early yesterday morn-
ing.. 'T Two of her boys having pilfered some brandy
and Isepper from the stores, they were tied to each
other, by the left arm and a doubled cord being put
in their other hand, they were directed to inflict a
mutuality of snipe., which they did, roaring lustily
all the while, for about ten minutes, until one got the
otitisr off his legs, and proved hi., superior kilt in in-
flicting this, to us, novel species at co-judgment, to
the no small amusement of their cigar-exhausting
shipmates.—Bristol Oesseiver, August 20.
