Since our last arrived in the Delaware the
Schr. Perseverance, Nelson, reported from
HAVANA, in distress, bound to Phild. or Ca
diZ. On a survey there arc 81 hhds ia
maica rum found board. The master
run the schr. into shoal water near Lewis
tewn creek, and left her. No person onboard
that appeared to belong to her by her pa
pcrs but the mate. He told the Inspector
1t was his intention to run the schr. ashore
if it came on to blow. The Inspector fur
nished the mate with provisions. We learn
the Captain of the cutter General Green
has since detained the schr. and put an
officer on board until the government decides
in the case. No doubt that traders will be
found on examining this rum that will give
Jamaica price for it, but will not say it is
the produce of a British island.
We understand (says the Norfolk Led
ger) that Commodore Decatur has ordered
the sloop of war Wasp to cruize on the Coast
for the purpose ofrelieving vessels that may
be i'll distress.
