PROCEEDINGS OF DON MIGUEL.

--61..._ _

The Captain of a merchant vessel. who has arrived in town from
a voyage, la the course of which he fell in with the blockading
squadron off Terceira, gives an account which is absolutely ludi-
crous of the freaks played by the Officers of the contemptible little
tyrant, who, having obtained a sort of impunity from his very
insignificance seems resolved to insult and brave every flag that
waves on the ocean. The cases now to be mentioned relate to
three of the very first class—viz. British, American, and French.
The English ship was the Handl', proceeding from Terceira to
Faro in ballast. She was fired upon with 80 or 30 musket balls,
brought to, and detained by the I'ortuguere ship of war the Don
John VI. Soldiers were then placed on board—she was sent to
the island of St. Michael's, which I. about 80 miles from Terceira,
and kept for seven days, probably with the intention of making a
regular capture of the vessel, but the Undaunted frigate chancing
to come to anchor there, the Ilalkin was released.

The French flag was not quite so respectfully treated, for the
Commander of the blockading squadron actually made prise of a
schooner belonging to the French merchant service, fitted her up,
and armed her as a tender, with a small party of marines on board,
and the vessel in the beginning of last month was cruising as part
of the Portuguese squadron off the island of St. George. Of the
fate of the Commander and crew of this ship nothing is known.
The American ship, which is called the Gleaner, was also made
a regular capture of by the Don John VI. She was lying at anchor
off Terceira at the time, when a boat's crew were sent on board,
who plundered the vessel of all she contained, not excluding articles
of wearing apparel belonging to the sailors. They took her quad-
rant, telescopes, and even an apparatus for the whale fishery, in
which the vessel was employed. They then took possession of the
ship, assuming the entire charge, and navigated her to St. Michael's.
There the whole of her cargo, consisting of rice, flour, and other
articles, was unloaded, and she was regularly moored in the har-
bour with the Portuguese mooring chains, her own anchor and
cables having been cut away at the time she was first taken posses-
sion of ! roses.
