The last ship was chased, of Portland, by a French privateer.

Mrs. WARRAND, wife of Lieutenant WARRAND of
rthe St*LARK, was on board that ship in the action
with la Ville de Caen, off the Start, and assisted the
Surgeon in dressing the wounded of the brave fellows
who were brought below. The SEALARK'S people
were washing clothes, &c. when the signal was made
to slip her cables. The hurry of getting under weigh,
and the shortness of the distance the SEALARK had to
run, rendered the latter rather unprepared for board-
ing. The man at the helm was wounded, turned in
consequence the tiller the wrong way, and the SRA.
LARK went on board the enemy in such a position,
that she could not bring any of her guns to bear. In
this situation twelve brave men boarded, and with
monkey's tails (short bolts,) and other the first wea-1
ports that came to hand, spread destruction over the
enemy's deck.
The French prisoners who arrived at Plymouth in
the MaLrosteux frigate have not been put on shore ;
and it is understood that they will be sent to Ma-
lain. There are 120 of these unfortunate captives, a
great number of whom have lost arms and legs, or
are dreadfully cut up. One poor fellow has lost both
eyes, and most of Ms nose; yet he bears his misfor-
tunes with admirable :ang froid, and goes unassisted
to different parts of the ship : indeed, none of his fel-
low-captives seem disposed to assist each other. The
common bond of union which generally links man to
man, and particularly fellow-soldiers and sufferers
together, seem to have no existence among the
French under the glorious Napoleon dynasty !

On the 20th of June last, Captain Wyse, of the
Modesty, which arrived at Waterford on the 20th in.
scant, spoke the wreck of the brig Polly, of Boston, in
lat. S. 56. N. long. 37. 40. W. and took off two men,
who had subsisted for one hundred and ninq one days on
the wreck, during which period they had eaten one
of their companions. The Polly sailed from Boston
lon the 12th of December, bound to Santa Cruz, in
the West Indies. On the 15th she sprung a leak,
carried away all her masts, and upset, by which. Mr.
J. S. HUNT, Supercargo, and a negro girl, were lost.
The brig afterwards righted, but, of the crew, which,
including passengers, consisted of nine persons, seven
perished upon the wreck, and the other two must have
inevitably shared the same fate, had they not been
fortunately extricated from a state of unexampled
'suffering and peril, by Captain Wu&
