Another wreathe is added to the laurels
of our gallant navy by the successful cruize
and safe return of the frigate Essex, capt.
Porter. She entered the capcs of Delaware
on Tuesday afternoon.-An officer belong
ing to her came up to town this morning.
We understand she has made several cap
lures among them is the British sloop of
war Alert, of 20 eighteen pound carronades.
The Essex was disguised as merchant
men with but few of her men on deck, and in
her rigging, when the Alert came up and
made the attack. The ports of the Essex
immediately few open, and her gallant crew
returned the fire with such vigor and effect,
that the Alert soon struck to the American
commander.
The Essex intended making New York,
but few days since she deserted two large
ships of war, and prcsuming them to be Bii
tsh in pursuit, she lodged them and put in
to the Delaware. We are happy to add that
thc whole of her officers and crew are in per-
iect health and spirits,

The report Of the day is that the Bril-
fish army is withdrawn from she advanced
posts, in the neighborhood of Salamanca,
probably from the difficulty OF conveying ne
cessaries to so great 4 distance, from the
Coast. There are, however, immensemaga-
zines provisions, in various quarters. At
AbranteS alone, there were, not many DAYS
since, q million rations for men, and 1,2' 0,

America opens, the Commissary Genera will
again make large purchases of -four.
"The price OF that ARTICLES now 23 dollars
currency discount 81 per cent, on half cur
rency. Not more than 5OG0 remain unsold,
but the sales are slow in expectation of spec
ly arrivals from America. AS yet, there
has been no scarcity Of any article here, ow-
