Extract of a letter fr'm Captain DANIEL HAL*
llitoW, of the Cossack, dated Cork, January 9:—" I
arrived here 1 ist night, after a pasage of 40 days, hav-
ing left Havanaah on the 24th of November, under
partial convoy of his Majesty's ship lan, in corn-
pany with the shipsßoselle, and Princess, brigantine
Only Son, Pdrtsea shooner, and brig Brands, when in
lat. SI. S. long. 77. 10. we returned our instructim,
and left the frtgate in chace of a large American pri-
vateer, who, having dodged us during the night and
the next day, came np within musket shot, when, on
speaking, Captain BEATSON, of the Roselle, we
tltonght it most prudent to bring him to action be-
fore dark, as we saw no possibility of escaping with.
out it : accordingly. we cleared for action, and at 20
minutes P. M. dined the privateer, and commenced
it. At one P. M. three of the convoy struck ; the
Roselle, Only Son, and ourselves, continuing the ac-
tion ; and 80 minutes past two, the Roselle struck;
And the Only Son Made off, leaving the privateer to
direct the whole of his attention to the Cossack, which
he did, within half pistol shot, until three P. M. when
.I had the satisfaction to see him wear round, and
leave us to pursue our voyage. The superiority of
the Cossack's sailing, enabled me to maintain a poi-
tion a-head of him, which preirented him from get-
ting a broadside to bear on us, and enabled us to
rake him effectually with our stern-chasers and mid-
ship gun. lam yto say I had none killed, and
but one wounded, besides myself. I have got a grape 4
dint theoegh me, near the groin, with two slugs In the
breast, but we are now nearly recovered, although I
am extremely weak. I'VE sorry to add, we are much
cut up in our sails and rigging, and it will be neces-
sary to repair some of them here. We have had the
most severe weather ott the passag.l I ever expe-
rienced."

which was at length done by the ringing. cu the 'aelts,

the house, as they had -arisen from tiler tied, am', I
were taken to Mr. Butler's, who by this time hod
been called up, where she was covered -vial shawls, t'
and such other light apparel as was near at haoste,—
Mr. Butler entreated her to go np stairs, but the feel-
logs of the mother were too much alive for the safety
other other five children, to admit u: a nr
lay, and it supposed she would have rushed into
the dames in search of them had she not fainted away.
As soon as she recovered, she left Mr. butler's ahnos:
in a state of nakedness, but was prevailed on, or ra-
ther forced, by those who attended her, to go to anc-
titer friend's house in Cheapside : the servant and it-
fant remained at Mr. Bnrier's. ro rapid were the
flames on -.1.;s unfortunate occasirn, that no otbe
person except a servant, with another of Mrs. Biggs',
children, succeeded in getting cut by the door ; th
rest took to the roof of the house, and got away ita- •
hurt, among whom was an elderly weinan, who
attending as a nurse on one of Mrs. Biggs's Lodes.--
who, we hear, made his escape by getting from on.
roof to another. We have only accounted tor tit
nut of Mrs. Biggs's six children, the eldest w.f.
whom, a son, was only r.ine year; of age. sit`-
wish we could have stated that they had ad. been
saved ' • but the eldest son above-mentioneid, dartzt
sister between three and four years old, perishaskin
the flames ; nor was it in the power of any onCts pre-
vent it ; they lodged, it appears, in a room R4crre
their brothers, to which those who first got into
house could not reach, and to which the servants who
escaped by the roof durst not venter.: ; indeed, di,.
situation of Mil Brusly win be better understood b,
stating, that the fire was not discovered mil a qua
ter past six, and the house was down to the grout •
before seven o'clock. The two other children of Mr..
Biggs escaped, no or.e can tell how, but they hay-
pily did escape, though one of them was not disc.--

fire entirely 'consumed the two houses above ra-
