By the Plumper gun-brig, Lieutenant Medley,.which
strived at Falmouth on Monday, from Sierra itoone,
we have letters from the Sybille frigate, Commodore
C:B. dated November 29. The Sybille was
then on tie point ofyroeeeding to the Bight of Benin, in
se itch of vessels employed in the slave trade, which were
know n to be actively engaged in that cruel ilea. Whit-
ever can be achieved.by zeal with a view to intercept.
thew, u e have the consolation of knowing is insured by
the high character for that quality borne by the gallant
Commodore. The squadron on the station,• we are,
happy to remark, was healthy, the Sybille particularly
ao. She had lost only three men during a period f two
years; the death of two having been occasioned by ac-
cidents, and the third arising from fever, communicated.
Whilst on beard a prize vessel. Commander Turner,
late Lieutenant of the Sybille, who was promoted for
his gallantry in the command of the-Bli‘k Joke, ten.
der to that frigate, returned to Eng' snd in the Plumper,
• with forty pirates, taken out of a vessel captured by
him on the cowl., of whose atrocities, it is hoped, evi.
tit nee will be adduced sufficiently conclusive so bring
them to punishment. Commander Turner has been
presented by the Officers of the St bille with a sword of
the value of two hunthei guineas, in token of the high
estimation in which they held his courageous and active
conduct, whilst in command of the tender. This de.
setting young officer, during that command, has rescued
from :homy upwards of 2,000 of his fellow-creatures.
