Extract Of alette,jrom a gentleman,in Bal.
! ,timore to his friend in this place, dated
.2a.h August.
g A repor, il. prevalent here that the ship
.O,hello, from Liverpool for this port. with
. cargo Of fsll goods, had got 80 farup the
bay as off the mouth of the P atuxe ,where
she Law all Sunday Last, opposed by head
winds; there lay in company with her se.
ye,al other vessels, also for thi. port, one
of which 60. up ,yesterday, and reports,
tn i on Monday morning. ashley were pre-.
pairing to sail, they saw the .O.hello taken
possession of by ap armed,schooner, and
stooa down the bay with her. This accouns
is SO far credited az to induce several COM
panies to prepare boats at anshour.s notice
and proceed after her. The captain who
brings this intelligence was not near enough
TO discover whether the armed schooner
was French or English, but thinks she
hois,ed French colors after taking posses-.
sion Of the Othello; the better opinion,
however. is. that she is neither, Blu. Fl.
safe il is no. likely tina. French or Eng-
lish privateer would leone up Ia Our bay.
= There is an order gone down express.
from here TO Norfolk, from sec'fy Smith
to capt. Decatur, to proceed with all speed
