" 1, As Captain ltooke.is getting under weigh, I have
. . 4tut time to add another *ord.'.

\

MALTA, 00T. Sf.
•
. I avail myself of this opportunity to add to the above
smmunication, which I have the honour to forward
herewith, to give you the latest news we have by, the
J *per, arrived to-day :
" His Majes! y's brig Jasper, Captain Rooke, sailed
from Cesme ,rsith 22 EitiAlish vessels under her convoy,
bound. fir Great Brrctin. On the Ilth instant. off
Serpi)°, three misticoes came from the shore, or,e ol
them passing withingun shotot the Jasper, which took
in Ina the brig Elizabeth; Captain Noakes, about two
miles di,tanttrom the brig of war. TheJ 'spot inure
diately rammed her boats, one carrying 12 pounder;
and sent them to the assistance of the Elizabeth ; but
being they reached her the Greeks had got out her long
boat, laden it with fruit. takers it on shore, returned
again, and laden it a second time, a ith apparel, stoles, ,1
4c. when the Jasper's boats came up and fired upon
the misticoes, broke the mast of one of them, and they
cast off and made for the shore of &Thant°. The
Elisabeth recovered her boat, apparel, and stores ; the
brig of war's boats pursued the misticoes, but the Gi eeks
mcceeded in getting ashore, and opened a heavy firs
upon the Jasper's boats oh their searing the beach.—
A midshipman was shot through his arm, and two sailors
were also wounded, one mortally, though yet alive.
Ore of the Greeks who boarded the Elizabeth was so
intent upon plunder, that he did not observe when the
misticoes went off, and wrs left by diem on board. But,
c'in the ether hand, they had ea, ried off an English lad
from the Elisabeth. Captain It .nke got the prisoner en
board the Jasper, who being in•erpreted (through the
Greek pito.) as to whether the Greeks were aware, when
they took the Elisabeth in tow, that an English vessel
OE war was in conspany,rep!ied 'Yes:They even thought
there were two vessels of war, having mistaken !sae crf
the convoy for a King's ship. Captain Rooke then
asked what redsoris they mid for plundering British pros
petty? Tire GRA replia4o4 is the fault of you Eng-
lish that we plundftlikejrhu've taken many of u-
Greeks to Malta, 'ant!fliseni ke us go amiss ; *helots, it
you had made an exawrofe.'ilf ace we should not have
continued this plundernig: tra the morning after tln
attack,the Greeks on shore hoisted a flag of truce, ICI
the purpose of offering to give up the Eighth lad for
the Greek prisoner, which wont Captain Rooke corn-
p)ieJ witn.• Tr.o lad states that she misticoes had on
I oard lonian colours,uhich they stowed away when the
'roper's boats chased them. Captain ltooke says, that in
all the ports of the Levant, tvliere there is one vessel
under Greek colours, there are ten under the I Irian flag.
The Greek taken from the E izabeth stated, that there
Were IS other misticoes. The Jasper called at Milo,
and fouad lying there the Engi sb brig Kitty, which
had been plundered on her voyage to or from Alexam
citia. She was not in a fit r ta'e to go to sea, and there-
}Ore did not avail herself of the Ja.per's protection, but
waited for some other opportunity.
" The Jasper tell its with a large Greek armed brig,
full of men. The Commander told Captain Rooke that
he hal been in chase of a mink°, which had plundered
two Austrian vessels, but had not succeeded in coming
up a kit I:er, and requested Captain Retake to t.e on the
look our. So3n after, Captain It. spoke the said two
Austrian vessels, and they complained of having been
plundered by a brig exactly answering the description
of the one Captain R. had spoken with.
" Captain Rook. mentions, that the blaster of the
brig Lively, Captain ford. one of the convoy, deserves
particular notice for the courage he sheared in having
put out his boar, and attacking the misticoes in a very
gallant manner."
