ter an unsuccessful cruise Of 81 days from
Baltimore, put into this port on Sunday and
yesterday morning she captured, at FIVE
tathom Hole, within this harbor, the Swedish
ship Continental, capt. D&hlstrom, boand to
Gottenburg, with full cargo of rice. This
vessel had been regularly cleared at our GUS
tom house, and has been some days ready for
sea- waiting wind. 1t is said that the Swe-
dish captain was anxious to have his vessel
brought up to town for adjudication, but that
it was the intention of the captors to take her
over the bar and carry her off to some other
port. The priyateer and her prize were lying
together in Five lathom Hole last evening.

WHEREAS the congress ofthe u. States,
by Joint resolution of the two houses, have
signiGed request that day may be recon-
nlended, to be observed by the people OF the
United States, with religious solemnlty, as a
day of public Humiliation and Prayer: and
whereas such recommendation will enable
the several religious denominations and soci-
cites so disposed, to offer at one and the same
time, their common vows and alterations to
Almighty God, on the solemn occasion pro-
dueed by the war, in which he has been pleas
ed to permit the injustice of a foreign power
TO involve these United States; Go therefore
recommend the third Thursday IN .aagusfnerf
as a convenient day, to be SO set apart, Tor the
devout purposes of rendering to the Sovereign
of the Universe, aud the Benefactor OF man
kind, the public homage due to his holy attIl-
butes; of acknowledging the trapsgressions
which might Justly provoke the manifestations
of his divine dspleasure; OF seeking his mer-
ciful forgiveness, and his assistance III the
great duties of repentance and amendment ;
and especially, Of offering fervent supplication
that In the present season OF calamity and war,
he would take the American people under his
peculiar care and protection that he would
guide their public councils, animate their pa
triotism, and bestow bis blessing on their arms;
that he would inspire all nations with love
of Justice and of concord, and with reverence
for the nnerring precept of our holy religion,
to do to Others as they would require th't o.
theirs should do to them; and, finally, that
turning the hearts of our enemies from the
violence and injustice which sway their coun-
ellis against US, he would hasten a restoration
of the blessings of Peace.

eleventh day, since the horrible massacre was
attempted on the prisoners in the gaol Of Bal.
timore, of which every body has heard before
this day. He cannot yet converse or take a.
ny other sustenance except liquids, and of
these very little. He is restored to the use Of
his mental powers, and is able to make him
self understood by uttering a word or two at
time and making signs-a gradual change
for the better is said to be taking place, as
some of the slighter wounds and bruises be.

ing sensible of his inability to pronounce a
whole sentence SO as to be understood. DR..
Spangler who attends him with DR.. Buchon,
gives the following account of his CONDITION
when he arrived at Yorktown on Saturday last.
On the crown Of his head there was wound
about an inch square, which must have been
made with stick OF club. 1t had been sew
ed up, the Zone Of the head is not fractured
and this wound seemed to cure fast. On his
left cheek there is deep cut as if made with
penknife, his nose was slit open with knife
as far as the bridge, and having been lmme'
diately Sewcd up, seems TO be united and Is
doing well and the nose has its natural loFm'
His right eve has been dreadfully bruised, ana
is still closed; it is believed the sight Will DC

strapole him, and to ibis cause bis inabIlltyto
speak, or to swallow any solid food at thlS P'-
Rod is attributed. There are some BRUISES
from the club on his left thigh, which are not
to be regarded now.
1t is in this barbarous manner that the P''
puiace acted towards him, who bad Joiheu w.
