his platcons, and loaded with grape. On ,he enemy's
approach, the field pieces were unnia,ked and poured
upon the enemy's ranks a destructive fire, and com-

SUCCESSFUL PRIVATEER ING.
The privateer brig Anaconda, Captain Shaler, of
New York, arrived at Ocracock, North Carolina, on
the 4th instant, from a prosperous cruize. The
Anaconda had on hoard 75,000 4ollars in specie,
captured from' an English brig, called the King's
.Packer, bound from Rio Janeiro to England, wh:ch
she fell in with on the 14th May, in the latitude of
the Cape de Verds. The brig mounted fourteen 2-
pwlnders, carronades, and had on board '230 stand
of small arms. She fought the privateer forty-five
rn;tvites, when the flag was struck, and again hoisted,
uniop down; her sp..:s and rigging were cut to pieces,
and she had rive feet water in the hold. The Ana-
conda received no injury. After removing the specie
and other valuables on board the privateer, Captain
Shaler ransomed the brig for 8,000 dollars. The
Anaconda, shortly afler,'sapt4red- the brig Mary,
from Gibraltar, bolled to Brasil, wish a cargo of
wine and silks, invoiced at 8.5000 dollars; and. the
brig Ilarriet, bound frcirn Buenos Ayres to London,

mono dollars.

The Anaconda landed her specie at Edenton, from I
whence we understand it has been transmitted to
Tarborough; 'to be deposited in the vaults of the I
bank, at that place.

brig, who informed that the President frigam, Com-
modore Rodgers, was in the Westlndies—had made
many prizes. which she destroyed, and' landrtl the
prisoners in St. Bartholomew's.—Norfeli Ledger.
