Captain Williamson, Of the brig Jane,
t~ho arrived on Wednesday last,) says,
on hls voyage he spoke The British frigste
pailas, capt. Cochran, and the Volunteer,
OF Jersey, by both of whom he was exa
mined aud treated politely. On the 9th
OF June at l. O'Clock, A. NJ. he saw several
sail to the u. E. standing 10 the N. F.. one
OF which hauled her wind and stood Cor
hiEl, at half past noon she fired gun, and
showed british coiors; capt. w. ,mmedi.
ateiy hoisted his american ensign at one.
she being then TO the wiDdward, and close
10 the Jane, fired some small arms, on
which she hove to; the Rrton then order.
ed capt. w. to hoist out his boat irumcdi.
atsiy or he would FIRE into him capt. w.
informed him, that having broke the stern
post OF his boat in bordeaux, ne did not
believe she would swim Ga which this

into the james Capt: w. then at the n; k
of his boat and people, boisted her ou, and
sent his mate and four people on board
with his papers, which they effected with
much risk, one hand being scarcely able to
keepthe boat free, sbe made so much water.
The james boat was scarcely on board.
when the frigate's boat came along side
the Jane, with orders for capt. w. to 90
on board, which he pereinplorily refused
10 do knowing no right they had to take
him out of his brig, more especially as he
had but two hands and no navigator or,
board.
On the boats return to the ship cant.
w. was ordered to stand after the shin.
winch he was under the necessity OF do
ing though II was direct contrary 10 the
course he ought to steer, as they detained
his mate aud four people on board. At4

the evening, the boat being full of water,
and nearly ready 10 sink. Captain w.
