EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE CAPTAIN OF THE
PEGGY SCHOONER, DATED GIBRALTAR, AUGUST 12.
" The Mediterranean swarms with privateers. I got under
weigh Sunday evening last (sth). When off Malaga, I was chaced
by two listen rigged veuels, with about 20 or 30 sweeps, and was
engaged with the fastest sailing one three hours. Off Canbagena,
fell in with live large fatten-rigged vessels, and was nearly cap-
tured, had not a strong wind sprung up, of which I took advan-
tage, and arrived here safe. I steered on to the Barbary shore,
in hopes to avoid privateers, but when off Algiers, fell in with
two very large vessels sailing in company."
" OIRRALTAII, SD AUGUST, ON BOARD TER MARIANNE, Calk•
TAM RICRARDSoN.

" You will do me a particular favour by informing the Gentle-
men Underwriters of your room of the undermentioned circum-
stance that took place on board this ship. When off Porto (July
25, about 25 miles distance, bearing S.E.) we descried a strange
soil bearing down to us under heavy press of call, when we im-
diallately pftpared for action. At half past 12, p.m. we were
close along-side, when we commenced our Ire. against i Schooner
leonniing eight guns, and foil of men, which continued until 20
minutes past one o'clock p. m. when the sebeester bore away be-
'tote the wind, and left us without doing us any injury."

CONFISCATED SHIPPING IN RUSSIA.
MOTt FROU FRC 81111PPRON. ALTICANDIR TO ■ARON [IMM&N•

nausea, rater COUNCILLOR, Ste.
Having observed, from the Nute you presented me with; the
R. pi e•eitiat ions made by the Commissioners (of the Neutral Na.
vigation Act), who were appointed to examine the case of the
ships that have, during this season, reported their arrival from
Teneriffe,
Ist, '1 hat these cargoes, from all appearances and confronting
circumstances, are es idently doubtful and suspicious.
Yd. That the false papers and documents of said vessels, given
in for examination to the Conunilsioners, have been proved to
them, and discovered, without the least doubt, to have been
forged, this act alone admits of sufficient reason for confiscating
the said cargoes without any further proof. I therefore agree
with your opin'on, that examining the Masters and Owners of
these ships, as heretofiTe has been usual by the Commissioners,
in ordinary cases, will occasion a detention to them, without
any utility arising to them front such an examination, but occasion
a p.oloegstion of the business. And as a quick decision will be
beneficial to the commercial interest, during the present Nevis*.
thin, and to the general credit, I empower you, through the mow
dium of the Commissioners of the Neutral Navigation Act, im-
mediately to confiscate the cargoes of said ships.
The Captains, Owners and part Owners of said confiscated
cargoes, having permission, within the usual time, to appeal ac-
cording to the form of law prescribed, you shall receive particu-
lar instructions in what way the sale of the confiscated cargoes
are to be made. Ad imterim, you are to take proper care of the
sane. And although from the above mentioned circumstances
of fo ged documents being discovered, and false declared of their
coming from Teneriffe the ships ought equally to be confiscated I
but finding that most Of the vessels are the property of the sub.
jests of Neutral Powers, the resolution with respect to them shag
be shortly formed. I order you immediately to take off the arrest
of such vessels as are absolutely Neutrals, permitting them to load
with our produce, and sailing, taking the usual prucaution, that it
is agreeable to the prescribed rules of permitting the export of our
produce. (Signed) ALEXANDRA.
