FROM VIE 'BRUM BRITISH Vitae. MARCH 18:

An (secure. nee of a serious nature, and much to be deplored,
to. place last Friday. with the French Government cutter Goe-
lard, and the Is awls employed in the oyster fishery, betivizt this
island and Granville. On Thursday the 13th inst. the fishing smack
Favourite J. Griuder, Master, came to an anchor outside the
Mast Ruck (La Mader), which lies nearly at the line of demarca-
tion marked out by the British and French Governments to limit
the British fishery. About seven o'clock next morning, just as
the Favourite bad got under weigh, the crew, observing the boat
from the French cutter making towards them, babied up the tack
of their mainsail, and steered towards her. On the boat coming
alongside, the Favourite was bearded by the mate of the French
cutter and five or six seamen, who instantly took permeation, and
removed the master and part of the crew on board the French
cruiser, leaving three French sailors to work the captured vessel to
Granville. This being observed by the British dredgers, they de-
termined to rescue the captured vessel; and a sufficient number of
men having been collected on. board several boats, they proceeded
to board the Favourite,whick had been taken in tow by the Goeland.
They were immediately fired upon from the latter vessel, and,
uofortunately, a sailor of the name of Smith was mortally wounded,
a ball baying entered the bind part of his thigh, penetrated through
the bone, wounded the intestines, and lodged midway between the
navel and the pubes. , The poor man died on Sunday morning at
Gorey.
-The continued fides of musketry and grape, from swivels. did
not deter the oyster men from their purpose; they succeeded in
boarding she Favourite, let go the tow-rope, and brought the vessel
tack to Gorey, with the three Frenchmen prisoners. The French
vessel did not attempt to pursue them, but made the best of her way
to Granville.

It was fortunate that the Commander of the Goeland did not
attempt to recover the vessel, or the consequences would have been
dreadtul. &Ica so determined as the British seamen would not
have been deterred from their purpose. The three Frenchmen
found on board the recaptured cutter were treated in the most
humane manner. They acknowledged that the greatest kindness
and generosity were shown to them, and that the sailors gave them
their beds during the night.
We are happy in having to record this circumstance, so honour-
able to the character of British seamen. On their arrival at &lont
°ritual Castle, they were allowed to go on shore, and being in
formed of the death of Smith, they were alarmed, and came to St.
Helier's on Sunday morning ; they were stopped on the quay by the
Deputy Viscount, who brought them to Le Sueur's Hotel, where
they dmed, and were afterwards sent to the Hospital.
The Untie seamen who were transferred to the Gotland, were
removed mike Le liodeur, and put in irons, but have since been
liberated.
A Coroner's' Inquest was held at Gorey yesterday (3loaday), ar
chi bogy of John Smith, when the Jury, after some consultation,
returned tire following verdict—" The deceased, John Smith; was
killed in consequence of a shot bred at bins intentionalli 'by hlr.
Louvel, Commander of the Goeland. while the said Smith was iu
the act of gutting on board the Favourite, which be considered had
been mg" ull,a . seized."
Ilia Majesty's cutter Wolfe, and Le Rodeuy French cuttere
arrived un Sunday from the French coast. Opletalising loan 'schist •
in the small roads, the Couttuanders of boils muftis landed, anti
proceeded to the Guretnlbeni House.
