" MONTS- Yuma June U, 11127.

" Grorrazuzir—You will no doubt be surprised at receiving this
letter, but as the report of the vessera,Captore will no doubt reach
you by the packet, and will, as all reports generally are, be exam- '
rated, I think it my duty, as Mate, and commanding the vessel in
the absence of the Captain, to send you this, for your and the owner's
information. On the 27th of April, being in 34 deg. 36 min. south
lat. and .50 deg. SO min. west long. we were brought to by a schooner
under Brazilian colours, the Commander of which hailed us, and
ordered the Captain to come on board with his papers and letter-
bag • it was then blowing pretty fresh, about one o'clock, p.m.
—The Captain went in the jolly-boat, with one of the passen-
gers and four men, on board the schooner; as soon as they
got alongside, they were all taken out and replaced by two officers
and four men from the schooner, who came on board of us, armed
with pistols, and took charge of us, the one who appeared to be chief
telling me he was to come to take charge of the ship as prize-
master; by this time the schooner bad battled down the Brazilian
and hoisted Buenos Ayres colours. We then made sail with her,
but it coming on to blow, and the sea getting up, we could not
send the boat back for the Captain. About half-past hve o'clock
the Captain of the schooner hailed, and ordered her Officer to
shorten sail, and keep under his lee all night. At ten o'clock it
came on to blow very hard, with dark rainy weather. I now
found the prize-master had no instructions with regard to signals,
and by that means he lost the privateer in the night; he then cruised
el and on till the 2d of May, when not seeing any thing of the
tehoower, he stood for the Salado river, on the south side of the
river Plate, in hopes of finding her there, but instead of that, we
found the place blockaded by four Brazilian men of war, who in the
night of the 4th of May boarded us; the prize-master and 13 of the
men having cut the jolly boat from the stern, and rowed on slime
leaving us in charge of the vessel,the other two men giving themselves
up as prisoners, and going below about half an boor before the Brazi-
lian boat reached us ; they however took charge of us as a prize taken
from the Buenos Ayreans, and, as such, sent us into this port, when
we were soon liberated by the efforts of Mr. Hood,' he British Consul,
and Admiral Otway, on board of his Majesty's ship Ganges, they be-
ing of opinion that she could not be a re-capture, as she was in my
possession at the time they took her. It was also their opinion, as
It is mine, that the Buenos-Ayteans did not intend to detain us, but
only to examine the papers when it came onto blow. We have
not begun to discharge, and I am rather awkwardly situated, as the
Captain has got all the papers with him, and I am sorry to say
there is no account of him.

(Signed) " Joni Cummins, Mate.
" P.S. The privateer was formerly an American, and called the
Bolivar; she Is now called the Vincidore."

The following is extracted from a Newspaper pub•
lished at Hobart's Town, in Van Diemen's Land :

" Tailors, plaisterers, and blacksmiths, earn from 10s.
to Iss. a day, when they work ; bricklayers, masons, and
carpenters tis. to 10s. and shoemakers 7s. to 10s."
A few days since two English Gentlemen passing the
Faubourg Montmartre, in a cabriolet, let fall the reins
between the rue de Provence and the rue Cadet. The
servant alighted, and restored the reins to his master.
The latter wished to revenge hit awkwardness upon his
horse, but the horse became restive, reared, and sprung
back at the moment that the servant was about to re-
sume his place behind the vehicle, squeezed him against
the wall, and then darting forward with the rapidity of
an arrow, left the unfortunate young man dead upon
the spot, without his master's perceiving it. A water
carrier lifted up the body, and carried it to the house
of the proprietor of the cabriolet, who was, as may be
supposed, very deeply grieved by the unfortunate acci•
