$. You no doubt have heard Of the
capture Of a ihip, brig, and lloop,
that failed out OF Norfolk under Bril-
tilh colors, by a. prigareer ichooner
from St. Ausultine, commanded by
captain Hooper. Fhofe vel4els arriv-
ed fafe off St. Augultine bar, and there
delivered the greater part of their car
go; the ihip and brig drawing 100
much water to come over the bar, pro-
ceeded up ST., Mary's river, together
with the privateer, and were there
moored under the Florida fhore, at a
place called Rofe's Bluff, ABOUT one
and a half miles from ST. Mary's.
On my arrival at St. Mary's l
there found an Englih lchooner, ten,
der to tae Brit!lh frigate Cambrlan
mounting fS guns and 70 men, taken
few days previous by the Cambrain,
and lent to ST. Mary's, for the exprefs
purpoie of retaking thete prizes, (the
tehooner was previouly French prl-
vateer, and had two American captains
on board whea taken. She Lay a.
bout an hour at anchor off St. Mary's.
and then proceeded Immediately up TO
the lhip, which was prepared for aeti-
en-, and which had colleeted the whole
force of the privateer, together with
her own crew and the briggs, to make
the bea defence fhe could. She then.
it was faid mounted 8 or 10 guns and
40 men, executive of fome militia that
had collected on the Bluff, within fifty
yards of which the 1hip was moored,
The tender brought up on fand bank
within 20 and $50 yards of the thip,
in iituation to expoie her to COM
plete rake from every gun OF the hip
when the could only bring her two bow
guns to bear for length of time; a
feyere fire from both parties commenc-
ed, and lated for one hour, at the ex-
piiration.of which time, the tender man-
ned three Of her boats, and proceeded
Immediately to board, notwithstanding
they were under heavy fire Of grape
ihot from the ihip, and the militia from
the Bluff.
!" The boats on meeting 70 warm a
reception from that quarter proceed
ed on the other quarter between the
ihip and the Bluff, where they were
exroied between two fires, and not
withaanding llthele difficulties, board
ed the il1ip, after friking the colours,
there was not one Frenchman on board
alive, whether any efcaped to the ihore
or not, is as yet, not alcertalned, nor
was it known when left St. Mary's,
how many were killed on board the ten
der; yet from the intrepidlty Of both
parties, and the fpirited attempt Of the

and no doubt but the tender received

DR.. Logan observed that asreeably to
notice, he asked for leave to bring IN a
bill to prevent the commercial intercourse
between the. United States of America and
the French island of ST. Domingo. DR..
Logan observed that the attention of con.
gress had been called TO this subject by
the president Of the Uaited States at the
commencement Of the last session of con-
gress in the following words:
While noticing the irregularities COM
mitted on the ocean, by others, those on
our own part should not be omitted nor left
unprovided for. Complaints have been
received that persons residing within the
United States have taken on themselves
to arm merchant vessels & to force com.
merce into certain ports and countries in
defiance OF the laws of those countries -
that individuals should undertake to wage
private war, independently of the authori.
ty Of their country, eahnot be permitted in
well ordered society. Its tendency to
produce aggressions on the laws & rights
of other nations, and TO endanger the peace
of our own, is so obvious, that I doubt
not you will adopt measures for restrain.
