for the election Of a president once only :;
another for electing president twice let

FROM A NASSAU PAPER.

Received at the Office Of the Register.
NASSAU, n. P. April 6.--The Med
iator frigate, of 80 guns, capt. Wise,
arrived at Port Royal, Jam. on the 4th
March, from cruise. On the 18th
ult. in the Mona Passage, she fell in
with La sBacchante, Of 20 guns, capt.
Dacres, and off Cape Sumana, OH the
l4th, they deserted a sail, on which
they Immediately went in pursuit, and
after hours chase came up with and
captured her when she proved to be the
national schr. Dolphin, of one long IL
FOUNDER and two SKIES, which they
threw overheard, In endeavoring TO es-
cape. II was understood from her
crew, that she had few days before
taken the British schooner Lovely Lass,
Rodgers, from Ntwyork bound to this
island, aud the American ship George
WashaFttaH IH if raGa 2 7a-yF F aqggfg sse IL
to Savaniila Bay. Captain Dacres, on
receiving this Information, immediately
determined TO make for that port, and
endeavor TO cut them out-On the
18th they arrived abreast of the fort,
when the Dolphin was Immediately
manned with sGagaen and marines
from the frigates, and the command Of
her given to the first lieut.. Of La Bac-
Chante, with directions to state, on be-
ing hailed from the battery, that she
was a national schr. with two prizes
(the Bacchante and Mediator being dis.
guised as such.) The enemy, howev-
er, soon discovered the imposition, and
opened heavy fire upon our vessels,
which was as brisily returned, and aE-
ter four hours engagement, they were
seen flying in all directions, the battery
being totally demolished. Captain
Wise then landed and spiked several
guns, and threw the remainder into the
sea, o. took possession Of the Lovely
Lass, and George Washington, with 5
French schooners, ali Of which came
into port with her. La Bacchante,
parted company the day after the at
tack.
The Mediator had four men killed
and twelve wounded, four Of whom, we
are sorry to add, were obliged to under
so amputation.
