We are happy to state. that the Con-
stituLion frigate Capt. Hull, is safe
she arrived here on Sunday last from
The Chesapeake Bay, which she left the
18th inst. completely equipped and well
manned. The Constitution was bound
to New York but on the l6sh saw a
frigate and gave chase, with too light
winds TO reach her. On the 18th, dis
covered the British squadron, consisting
OF the Africa, "a, and Guerrero, Shan
non, Belyidera and Eolus friEates,
brig and sch. the Belyidera within
gun shot. During the 18th, it was
calm and was spent in towing, ma
nGuvering and firing On the morn
ing Of the 18th, light breeze sprang up
when the Constitution spread all her
canvas, and by outsailing the enemy,
escaped conflict she could not have
maintained with any hope of success a
gainst force SO greatly superior he
chase was continued so hours, during
which time the whole crew remained at
their stations. A gentleman (belong-
ing to an American captured vessen
who was on board the Shannon during
the above period, informs Us that all
the Captains and Officers Of the British
squadron praised the conduct Of Capt.
HULL, and although much mortified at
losing 50 fine ship, gave him much
credit for the prudent and skilful man
agement with which his frigate was
worked.
Capt. Hull came up to town yester-
day-and on his landing, and reaching
State-Street, was received BY his fellow.
