riot which they provoked at Baltimore. in

general government would inevitably male
the fortunes of Messrs. Wagner and Han,

Captain Harrison, of the packet Jannett,
who arrived here this morning from New
Haven, informs that ON Thursday last a
schooner Belonging to PASSPORT, with plais
ter of paris and smoked salmon, was chased
on shore near Guilford, - miles from New
Haven. by two boats from the Ramilie S.
When the schooner struck, both masts went
over her side by the board and the crew
jumped ashore. Before he'enemy had time
to get possession of the schooner, about six
hundred militia, with one field piece, Assem-

their appearance, the foe thought it advisa-

The editor Of the Gazette, with pleasure
announces to the cubic, that he has Just re-
ceived a communication from Fort Niagara,
stating that major Cyrenis Chaplin and his
company, have safely arrived at this post
1t appears tina, British guard under com
mand OF lieutenant, were taking Chapin's
corps to Kingston in boats that the major
conceived a plan of escaping by rising up
on the guard and making them prisoners,
which was most gallantly executed, proba-
bly, in the afternoon of yesterday. The ma
jor arrived at Niagara this morning, after
rowing desperately all night, and Fortunate
ly escaping some of the eaen,y's boats which
gave him chase.
| We have no further particulars. The
major ane his company may be shortly ex-
pected home; when we hope to obtain a
satisfactory account of the action at the
Beaver Dam and much other interesting
matter, which shall be speedily laid before
the public.

Cofy ola Letter from Nzid'n. M CYn,tock.
TO the Secretary of'the Navy.
KINsALE, (Va.) July IS, 1918.

SIR,
1 have to inform you of the unfortunate
event which occurred here on the 18th
the action between the British barges and
the y. States schooner Asp, commanded by
MIR. Segournoy. At 9 A. NJ. the Scorpion &
Asp got under way from Yeocomico River
and stood out, at 10 discovered number of
sail, which proved to be the enemy The
Scorpion then made signal to act at dscre-
ton and stood up the river the schooner
being bad sliler and the wind ahead, we
were not able to get ont. Finding the enc
my approaching us, we thought it best to
return; Immediately two of the briggs stood
towards US and anchored 4 short distance
from the bar, where they manned their boats
Mr.. Segournoy thought it would be for our
advantage to run further up the creek, which
he did, but finding the enemy had left their
vessels we had not time to weigh anchor,
therefore we were obliged to cut our cables.
We were attacked by three boats well man .
ned and armed, we continued well direc-
ted fire OH them, and after short time they
were compelled to retreat, and obtain a re.
enforcement. About an hour after they re-
tired, we were attacked by boats we con
tinued doing the same as before, but having
so few men, we were unable to- repel the
enemy When they boarded us they refu-
sed giving us any quarters; there was up
wards OF htty men on our decks, which com.
PEELED US TO leave the vessel as the enemy
had possession. They put her on fire aud
returned. A short time after they left her
we went on board and with much difficulty
extinguished the hames.-But it is with deep
regret that I inform you of the death of Mr..
Segourney, who fought most gallantly in de-
fence OF the vessel, and the utmost exertion
was used by every man OH board. Our crew
only consisted of twenty one there are ten
killed, wounded and missing.

INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE
I'VE have been favored with the follow
ing correspondence between the committee,
lately appointed by our legislature, with
powers to send for persons and papers, du>
ring the recess. and one of the major gene
rails of our militia, with particular view to
whom, we have no doubt, this extraordina-
ry measure was adopted We consider
both the letters as highly interesting to the
citizens of this, and of the United States
In the one they will readily discern the lea
lousy and distrust of the present dominant
party in this state against the general go
vernment, for defending their frontier again st
the national enemy, (unless indeed some may
imagine this enemy to be our best f,iend)-
In the other, they will perceive the frank
acknowledgement of an independent patriot,
of the part he has acted in discharging those
duties, which God aud his country had i'm.
posed on him. This answer to the commits
tee will be a test of the views of the Mas
sachusetts politicians. Should their inten
tions be to organise our militia against the
forces ofthe United States, General KIN c
will certainly be removed from the com
mand he now holds should the object be
simply to acquire Information OH a subjec,
which is interesting to the commonwealth
the report of the committee will be highly
honorable to the general; and we shall ex
pect to hn1, at the next session of the Gen
eraI Court, AN unanimous vote of thanks Of
both branches of the legislature conferred
upon him for the prompt discharge of hi,
duty to the American natien.]
