On the 20th of June, within 20 min. of La Vera
Cruz, Moselle brig, of 18 guns, Cain. Maberly,
fill in with a 1 irge top-sail schcanter, to which she
gave chace, and on Nearing her a gtin was fired frorn
the brig, and cokurs disilayed, to bring her
to. The Schooner hoisted Spanish coloars, and con-
tinued giving way s ith her sweeps, ar.d at all times
avoided being on the same tack ; the Moselle coati.
rued nearly within gun-sitot the a :aole of the day,
evenieg corn' .eg on, the weather became per-
fectly tabu. The boats were then I.allted our, insa-

a part of her crew g'v:ng way with the sweeps to
prevent the boats from clo.,ing with her, so that in
few ininbtes they were so much disabled from the
loss of killed and Wounded, having Mr. Dimes, this .
Meister, and four Men killed, a Midshipman and IL
men ss.ounsle..!, that it was with great difficulty they
were enahied to make good their retreat. from Ott
pirate an I join the Mosel!e.
The Mohawk brig, of eight Captain
arrived on Thursday horn Negril-bey. She
I.tft port on the 21th, and gave protection to a brig
from Port-it-Prince, which appeared in the offing;
but the latter parted the same night in a heavy squall
from the Soutli.east. The Mairawk anchored at Ne-
gril on the afternoon of the 2Gth, as the fleet were get-
ting under way. She put into Ocho-Rists Bay on the
29:h, in consequence of its Ll.rwing a gale, and pre-
ceeded to sea on the 31st instant, and encountered
very bad weather off Annotto Bay. On the lit she
was struck with lightning, and five of her crew, who
were aloft, were somewhat injured by the same. •
The Variable brigantine, of 12 guns, Lieutenant
j Raldey, sailed on Sunday morning on a.cruize, but
returned into pert yesterday morning, with the Spa.
nisi letter of marque brig Union, from the coast of
the Brazils, bhund to the Havanna, with 248 slaves
on board, which vessel had been captured by the Car.
thagenian privateer White Horse, of one long 24-
pounder, a midsliips, and two carronades, with a
complement of 180 .nen, on the lit instant, off Bar..
racoa, after an obstinate engagement of three hours
and a half, during which the Union had two seamen
and one slave killed, and four slaves wounded, and
the privateer had a loss of two killed and five wounded.
A prize-master and 17 men were then put on board
of the brig, with directions to carry her to Carthagena,
but on the 4th instant, in sight of St. Jago de Cuba,
the Variable fell in with and re-captured her, atter a
chace of aline hours, during which she fired several
shots at the brig.
'rhe White Horse sailed from Carthagena on the
12th ultimo, wad Is commanded by one Jean Gan,
later from New Orleans. She is a very fast sailer, and
was ch.ased by three different men of war, all of which
j she ootsailed. It is understood she was to cruize fur
d:ret months on the coast of Cuba.
A ship from CaJiz to the Havannah, with a valua-
ble cargo of si:ks, wine, &c. was in sight during the
engagement between the Union and the privateer,
but fortunately ecaped ca:iture.
We understand that the R ii:gdove brig, of 18 ctuns,
Captain Dowers, after seeing the packet to a
certain latitude, proceed to Barmuda.

At length, War's desolating banner ford's],
Sweet Peace descends 'o leess the weary world I
Wei-nine dear St rargor from thy realms of bliss,
Tea 11117 a st ranger f. aim all lands hrt this !
To ail but Britain; round whose chalky sides
Roll Ocean's subject, vet protecting, tides !
To all—hut this our highly favour',l Isle,
here, midst s‘urrounding War, thou still hast delved to smile!
Now parting tears are tuned to joyous greetings,
s Now stern alarms chang'd to merry meetings."
Auspicious moment hail ! when Peace restores
Joy to our hearts, and plenty to our shores!
larewtll! a long farewell, to taxes—debt,—
Yarewtll to glorioes news I farewell Gazettes!
Farewell the warrior's tale—tbo' nobly sounded—
Farewell ! thank HEAY.N ! to lists of and wounded.
Hei.csfortli the historic page alone shall tell
Who bravely.coagneed, eras bravely fell!
But still that page shall name with honest pride
Our died-lid heroes, who have fought and died I
Shall shew how well. on shore, nr on the wave,
Our gallant sailors, and our soldiers brave,
Knew how Britanitia's thunder should he burnt,
And Peace be gairi'd Lis Vict'ry o'er the world!
England, be this thy just, thy noble boast!
The Erie st.ll wits welcome to thy coast!
Still mid the direst rage of War's alarms
The Wanderer found safe shelter in thine arms!
And, if permitted, on our British parts,
To praise those deeds which honour British hearts,
Be this our proud,st !—to have stretcli'd the hand
By Freedom strergihied, over Afirie's land !
to have erg d our stedfast right, to be
The Foes of Slavery, who Ourselves arc Free !
Then had', dear Peace ! thou geaerous nurse of Arts,
Friend of the Muses—weichme to our hearts!
What time so fit—as when thy cheering ray
Darts, like th- glorious beam of new-born day
Thro the long nigh: of darkness and of storm,
To cheer and lighten every gloomy form—
What time so fit to dress each scenic muse
With brighter splendours, and w.th warmer hues!
To court the Are ro this their gay retreat,
And deck, with richer tints, their favuur'd seat
For now, when Comic scenes possess the stage,
To mock its funks; it nor mend the age;
No thought of distant friends who strive in war,
Shall damp your !rink, and allow efforts mar;
Now, when those efforts would yeur cares beguile,
No smother'd sigh shall ball repress the smile!
Nor, as tl e Tragic Muse shall here rehearse
Her well wrought woes in mournful measur'd verse,
When some ivy's! Hero falls, rr Patriot dies,
No more shall kindred chains demand your sighs!
No more her sorrows to your hearts be known
To make, by synipathy, her pangs your own.
Here then, with Hope elate, once more we come
Ant bid you like our warriors, wekonie hem.
Long have we gladly lab.mr'd it your cans"--
Long may this dome rr-echo your applause.
For such reward' this brillant tetisplr grew,
Which now we dedicate to Peace and You!

BownsTimm—Yesterday the driver of the hackney
,oath, No. 618, was convicted, before Mr. BIRNIE, for
exacting mire than his fare. He had given a ticket,
but it did not cotrebpend with the money he had

lecei red.
Another hackney-coachman was convicted in the
p I tc!Os. A1k..1 Costs, for abuse to his fare. This
did riot take place under the late Act 0:
-Parliament, but wader the old one of the 9:h of Queen
Anne.
Qi BEN sQuatts.—Two dress-makers, residing in
the nee.o.b )..rhood of S.. James's-street, were charg-
ed by Firzsimmons and another Custom-house Offi-
cer, with havii g in their possession two pieces of s'lk
tri.pe, and other contraband Articles. A Solicitor, on
the part if the ladies, stated, that the articles bad been
sent to them to make up, by some-ladies of the first
distinction ; that they had no opportunity to re-
fuse receiving them. The Magistrate (Mr. FIELD-
pro) said, that he must convict in triple the value of
the goods, besides their forfeiture ; but he advised the
. young !aches to place the penalty to the account of
those foolish women of the " first distinction" to whom
the things belonged, and he would undertake to an.
swer for the account being paid, without any further
qu stion.
A similar information was also exhibited against a
shopkeeper, in Wigmore-street, for two remnants of
foreign lace. The officers also seized French gloves
mill other c. ntr,iband goods; but, this being the first
Offence, they had only proceeded o the goods to
w Ach the smaller penalty of £st) attuched, instead of
proceeding on the French gloves, to which the pe-
nalty of rE'2OO attached. The Officers added, that
an. immense number of contraband goods had been re-
cently seized, and that the Government had se:it
strict orders to the Officers to be on the alert in their
search. He was convicted in a moiety of the penalty
.025, and CCSIS.
SII6CKING Occunnnycx.—A Coroner's Inquest was

a few days since held on the body of a female servant
in the family of the Rev. Mr. B. in the neighbour.
bond of &Bet icay, in Essex, who expired suddenly iii
the night under the following circumstances. The
family it :ippeared were absent from home, and the
deceased was Lit in the care of the house. She had
got the daughter of a teighbouring cottager to sleep
with Isar for company L but on the night on which she
died, the had cimplained, previous to her going to
bed, of,indis; o ition, and said, as she wss so unttell
she would sleep by herself, requesting her companion
to sleep in an_adjoining room. In he course of the
night the girl was awakened by the crying of an in.
Pant, and called out to her companion, who however
said it was only fancy. She at length requested the
girl would go down, and get her something warm to
take. The girl accordingly went down stairs, and
on coming up again fiund her companion nearly ex
Firing. • A surgeon was sent for, and on h;s arrival
rewas found that the unhappy wretch had delivered
herselt of an infant. She lived but a few minutes
after this discovery was made. On searching the
_room where she slept, a dead infant was found, con-
cealed a foul clothes bag, and on examining it
Invsrks:of violence were perceptible on its throat. It
is supposed that the wretched mother had gut out of
04;1 whilst the girl was down stairs, and fear, ul of the
child's discovering itself by its cries, had terminated
its existence.
The Jibs y, after a patient investigation, returned a
verifier of wilful murder as to the child ; and with re.,
spect to the ol.naiural parent—lt appeared, that sus-
pici. us of her ',motion had previously been enter-
tained, and she had been used with it, but always
positively denied it being so..—Dicd by the visitation
