ANOTHER PRIZE!

We have the pleasure TO announce the
capture of II. b. NJ. schooner Whiting,
ourthen about $50 tons, carry ing four guns
and rs men and commanded by lieutenant
Maxcey, by the little privateer schooner
Dash, captain Carraway, belonging to this
port. The Whiting sailed from Plymouth
on the Sd of May last, destined for Annapo-
lis, with dispatches for Mr.. Foster, the
ex.British minister, and arrived in Hamp.
ton roads on Wednesday last, short of pro-
visions. A pilot went on board off Smiths
Island, who engaged to take the Whiting
up to Annapolis, but the commander con-
Guided to stop for shor, time in the Roads
to procure some provisions. Meantime
the Pilot had never mentioned word about
the declaration Of war, aud 1t. Maxcey sup
posed himself in a country at peace with his
own--He therefore cast anchor, ordered
out the boat, and himself and four of his
crew put off to procure supplies; before he
reached the shore, however, he was over
hauled BY the Dash, and himself and boats
crew made prisoners-The Dash then haul
ed along side the Whiting, all her men (32
in number) being well armed and eager for
boarding The sailing master of the Viii.
ting, (being then the commanding oflicer)
enquired Of the Pilot what schooner the
Dash was, and why she was making towards
them-The Pilot replied that she as Re-
venue Gutter, and was authorised to board
every vessel that came in--Ths reply sup
pressed all suspicion on the part of the mas.
ter, who permitted the Dash to come along
side, when the whole Of her crew leaped
on board the Whiting and took possession
OF her, without. we are happy to say, any
blood being split At this crisis the master
of the Whiting (sgreeable 10 the orders ht
is said to have receivrd) threw the des.
patches overheard. The Whiting was
brought up to port last evening, and the rs
men put into close confinement. The con-
duct of the pilot was highly praise-worthy
and we hope will be imitased by all who are
of that calling whenever an opportunity &C.
ours.
The exclusive patriots of the West, at
Lexington, Kentucky, have burnt mir
Pope 10 efigy for voting against the war
with Great Britain.

A FLAG OF TRUCE.

The English man of war brig Colibti, of
IS guns, arrived Yesterday at Sandy-Hook,
IN 70 days from Halifax, with messenger
and dispatches to Mr.. Foster, the late Bril-
fish minister.
The Colibri confirms the account of tbs
action between our squadron and the Belvi.
dere. The Belvidere had returned to Ha-
lifax. and the captain stated, that conclud-
ing from the attack on him that war was de.
elsred. he captured on his way to Halifax,
the ship Fortune, of Newburyport brig
Malcolm, of Portland, and brig Pickering,
Of Gloucester.
10 furthersnce of that spirit of amity and
eonciliation so repeatedly displayed, Ad.
miral Sawyer ordered those ships to be dis.
charged, and permitted to proceed to their
ports of destination.
The aforementioned action took place
on the Esd of June, and lasted about three
hours; all the squadron were IN sight, but
the Commodore only came near enough to
engage. The Belvidere had men killed,
a severely, and 10 slightly wounded.
I'VE thinkit will turn out, however, that
IL was the Hornet sloop of war thar engaged
the Belyidere, and nor the President.
