On the 29th Dece mber, in lat. 10. 6,
long, SO. w. about ten leagues from the
Coast of Brazil, the United States fripate
constitution fell in with and captured His
Britannia Majesty's irigate Java, of 40 guns
ard manned with upwards # 500 men.---
The action continued ono hour and fifty
hve minutes-in which time the Java was
made complete wreck, having her bow
spirit and every mast and spar shot out of
her. The Constitution had 9 killed and IS
wounded. The Java had 60 killed & lol
wounded. Amongst the latter was her com
mander, Capt. Lambert, very distinguished
r.mortally. From letter written by one
ot her officers whilst on board tie Consti-
tuition, it is evident that the wounded fulst
have been considerably greater, AN many
must have died of their wounds previous to
removal. The letter states 60 killed and
ITO wounded.
The Java was rated at So guns, but
mounted 40. She was just out Of dock and
fitted in the completest manner to carry
out Lieutenant General Hisop, Governor
of Bombay, and his staff-Captain Mar
shall, and commander in the British ma
wand number of naval officers going
to join the British ships of war in tie East
Indies. Besides these, and having her own
complement of officers and men complete.
she had upwards of one hundred supernu-
merares of petty officers and seanen of
the admiral's ship and other vessels on the
East-lndia station. She also had Dispatch
es from the British government for S He
ienas the Cape or Good Hope, and to everv
British establishment in the East Indies s.
CHINA Seas, and had copper OH board for a
~ gun ship and two sloops of war building
at bombay, and it is presumed MANY other
vaiuab'es, all of which were blowpun in
her Oh the Slst OF December when she was
set on FIRE.
