The following are further particulars ,1 the de-
struction of the General Armstrong American pri-
vateer, in the port of Fayal appears, that about
the 28th ultimo, the PLANTAtietscr, of 74 guns,
Captain LLOYD, RoTA, Captain SOMERVILLE, and
CARNATION, Captain BENTHAM, arriving off Fayal,
a neutral port belonging to the Portuguese, and one
of the Azores, perceived a large schooner laying ta
the roads. A boat with a Lieutenant was imme-
diately dispatched to the shore to ascertain her force,
and to whit nation she belonged ; but the tide run-
ning strong the boat drifted near the schooner, which
was then getting under weigh; after bailing her,
and desiring the boat to keep off, which was im-
practicable from the schooner having so much stern
way, she fired into the boat and killed seven men.—
The remainder returned with the boat to the up:
drop. and the Commodore considering the neutral' :y
broken by this outrage, immediately ordered the C A it-
NATION in to destroy the privateer; but die winds la,
light and variable, the CARNATION made a sigisat for
boats to tow : nine boats were accordingly dispatctedi
with three Lieutenants and about 200 men ; but 11,3
being able to get the CARNATION near enough, is
being rocky, the boats proceeded to destroy die re-
sel, and finally set her on fire, but not till we had s :t-
-iered a most severe loss in men and officers. Oa
approach of the boats a most destructive fire U4S
opened from a S2-pounder a-midships on board ue
privateer, filled with langrige, nails, knives, On:v(15,
and other destructive matter. The crew of the priva-
teer then escaped on shore, and fired on our men, wi:o
were ultimately destroying the American. Lieutenants
