On the Esd March last, sailed from

fell in with the Peruvian corsair ship, Ner
eyda. mounting Is guns she had few days
before, captured 2 American whale ships,
he crews of which (amounting in number to
"a men) wers then detained prisoners on
board her; and they could assign no other
motive for the capture, than that they were
he allies of G.. B. and as such, should cap
,ure all American vessels they conId fall i'll
18th therefore, to prevent in future such
exatious proceedings, threw all her arm
ament toto the sea, liberated the Americans
and dismissed the Nereyda
l then proceeded with all possible dispatch
Tor Lyma, to intercept one of the detained
vessels, which had parted with the Nereyda
only 8 days before, and l was so fortunate al
to arrive there and.recapture her on the 5th
April, at the moment she was entering fhe
port. This vessel (the ship Barclay. Capt.
Gideon Randall of New Bediord) 1 took un
der my protection, and have had her with

From Lima I proceeded for the Gallapa-
gos Islands, where captured the following
British ships. viz:
