An article from Messina, dated July 81, says
e Three American frigates with cutter and
transports have brought INTO this port the 18th
instant. a Tripoline prize. They have joined
with 4 other American vessels, who were in the
port of NAPLES, with a view OF returning to Tri-
poll, blockading the Barbarans and forcing these
pirates to their retrenchments."
We learn that the ship Montezuma, of
Charleston, which was strandedin Ayr Bay
in March last, (says the Greenock Adverti-
ser of August 16) is arrived in Saltcoats.
This ship had received great damage in her
bottom; was in the sands nine feet, with
part Of her cargo, and one hundred and fiji
ty tons of ballast sanded in her hold. She
has, notwithstanding, been lifted and bro't
into Saltcoats, by the management and ex-
ertions of Mr.. Porter, ship builder here.
She was clear for sea and out to her an
chors by the 1st of this month but the vIo-
lent storm on Wednesday the Sd put her IN
as bad a situation as ever, and Tor the Sc
cond time sevenfeet in the sand, out In deep
water but by great extrtion she was got
up on Tuesday last, and having fair wind
for Greenock, they slipt their cables and
got off the shore but by the time she had
rot as far as Saltcoats, 4 feet water was IN
her hole above the platform, which obliged
them to make that harbor.
