The Captain of a veffel arrived at New York from
Cape Francois, had brought intelligence, that on the
23th of July, off the latter pert, inlight of a re.'t
number of fpeSktors 'on firm, an Englifh frigate
attacked a French 14, and i'running fight continued
for Tome time, when another Englifh frigate of 44,
guns, came up and poured a broailfide into the 74.,
on: which the immediately. amok. Another French
74 and a frigate were in company, but they crowded
alt and made off, the Engli(h mitring them.
This atcolint Teems to be corroborated by the paffen-
gers of other vekls. . . •
Tire account of the capture of an American veffel byt
an Algerine frigate, is now eloubted in the American
papers. The Rory is related in the following man'
ner : Mr. Crrrtcaar, the frtrmer American Amh..f.-
fador at Tripoli, but now reliding at Leghorn, fair
the account in the Flenerl,CC Gazette,' under the Na-
ples bead; he thought itisis duty to give the earließ
information to his Goat:mow= Mr. Sutra, Charge
d'Affaires. was laid to ton board. Mr. Cwritoiern
has fince that wrote circular letters to the AMericas
Confuls on the Barbary enstll,renuelling them to eat
deavour to find out if an Artiericati retreat:es brought
into any of the harbours there, but has riot been abler
to receive any pofitive account. 4t is4therefore fupd
poled that, if any American has been cs'ptured far
any Barbarians, it mutt be by a Tripoline cruiser, ag
the veffels of the ltarbary States are fo nearly Gmilar
to each other, that it is Glifficult to dininguith one
from another..
