'instant, reported to be a pirate, I communicated the circumstance
to Captain llitionate, of hi,s Majesty's ship Thetis, suggesting for
his consideration the propriety of his cruising for a few days for
the protection of the British trade. He Immediately acted on this
suggestion, and sailed in a few hours after he had received
my communication, and returned on the 17th, having spoken with
an English vessel, who had bad Intercourse with the brig of war,

packet, in bet way to Newcastle, and the Union steam packet, rn
her way to Shields, ran foul of each other, opposite Jarrow Slake

mage, we believe, that either of the boats sustained was the loss of
the covering of the Union's paddles.
