FRENCH PAPERS. •

and the General Pignt, each roomuing 14 guns, and
manned by 00 hands performed ♦arious manoeuvres
the day before yesterday, in presence of.cine of the
enemy's frigates, and a galliot.
Yesterday Lieutenant Jean Piel of the privateer,
le J..une Adolphe, which sailed from this port on the
sth, brought in a brig which he had c.iptured so far
North as Gothhind. Notwithstanding a bra can-
nonade from an English frigate, which chased him
for more than three hours, Lieutenant Piel fortunately
succeeded in getting under the baiterits of the fort,
which soon obliged the frigate to sheer off. The p'rt
was crowded with spectators, who admired the cool-
ness and hardihood exhibited on the occasion.
Alllough the frigate kept up a constant tire with
httlf cannon' shot, only two balls struck the prize,
from which she did not sustain much damage.

St. Clair, late Aid-del:trap to General Vrolais, and
since Lieutenant in the 116th of the line, instead of
inclose his corps at Rrchelle, had deserted to the
enemy on the mooting of the 20th.• He hired a boat
at Rochelle t.s convey Itim to the Isle of Aix, and
having got out of the passage, he forced the boatman

heeded with his father's malediction, thought himself
no longer worthy to serve in the armies of the Ern-
pemr and King, or even to remain longer on the
Vietsch soil, where he could only expect infamy, con-
tempt, and punishment.
The General of Division Rivaul concludes his
General Orders, by requiring the military on the

`ttxtnication with the enemy; and adds, th it the boat.
swan who conveyed Courteis is now in custody, and
will be puaished, if found guilty, with all the rigour
of the law.
Then f lows a letter written to General Rivaud,
by Canvas, and dated on board his Britannic Ma-
jesty's ship the Abercrombie, November 20, 1811.
In this he says, that having been the victim of impe-
toms passions, and abandoned by all the World, he
had taken die present precipitate step. In two days
he was to go to England, and hoped there to find
some relief for the chagrin viltich he had suffered for
two years. He solemnly declares, that he compelled
the boatman to carry him to the English vesst4 by
putting a pistol to his breast.
Then follows a letter from Captain Fahie, of the
Aberernenhe, in which he expresses his belief, on his ,
word arf honour, that the fisherman who brought
