the best information which can collect, both
from dcserters and my agents, the enemy losc
20 men killed and | 6s wounded drowned and
missing--in all, ass nearly as many as were
opposed to them. Captain Mdlcastcr is cer-
tainly mortally wounded; a Captain of Mar
ines killed, and number OF other officers kils
led and wounded.

have the honor to inform you thar an
engagement between our battery at the mouth
of Ouer Creek, and eight Of the enemy's
galleys with o bomb vessel, has just terminal.
ed by the retreat Of the enemy, who, II is sup.
posed, came with an intention of blockads
ing us.
I" The battery, commanded by Capt. Thotni
ton of the artillery, who was gallan,ly assisted
by Lieut.. Cassin of the Navy, received but lit
tie injury, although number of shells wer0
thrown, and many lodged in the parapet.
Col. Davis was advaniagcously posted to
receive tho enemy in the event Of HE landingS
which wc had reason 10 expect, as his new
brig with several other Ealics and four sloopss
were within two and half miles OF the Points
on which tho battery stands. d,iring tn. aasisss
which lasted one hour and a half, VIXEN they
all stood off, and wcrc seen passing Burling!
ton for the northward. Every cxcr,ion was
made to get the vessels down TO the mouth Of
tho Greek, which however we cosld not effect
Nnntil the enemy had Withdrawn. Our whole
force is now at tho Creeks mouth, with tho
exception of the schooner, and she will bd
down also in tho course Of four or five days.
Terye,u,et, May 18, 1914.
CT omitted stating in my letter of the l4thj
that The enemy had two fine row boats shot
adrift from their gallies in tho action with tho
battery, which, in their precipi,ats retreat
were left, and picked up by us.
CT have since learned, that in other parts
Of the Lake, they are much cut up by the mill
tia. Two OF their gallies, in passing up q
small river on the New York side, had nearly
all their men killed and wounded"

INTERESTING TO FARMERS.

lowing remarks from one of the shrewd-
est and most eminent merchants of this
city:
Would it not be we'll to give the To-
hacco planters a hint for the high prices
given for Tobacco--5 TO SIS? The guam,
'ty of fine Tobacco used in g. Britain
and Ireland, does not exceed $4,000 hhds.
toe mean and ordinary, $4,000 hhds is
consumed on the continent of Europe,
where it will, in all probability, fetch
nearly as high prices as the first quail
ties in Great Britain and Ireland Hence
any Tobacco that viii pass inspection,
VIII find ready sale in Virginia on the
onening of the ports of the U. States
Inc crops of Virginia usually exceeded
$4,000 hhds.--Of late years, since the
cultivation of Wheat was adopted, has
been reduced to 25 to $4,000 hhds. Hence
a great scarcity of this valuable article

% receive the Chevalier D'Onis as min
isler from Spain The National ln,elli-
gencer, though it does not positively con
tradict the statements which have been al
ready made upon this subject, is never
iheless cautious not TO acknowledge it. The
excuse which has been given tor this re-
iusal is. that the government of Spain
j. not settled-that there is yet a strug
gle for the crown, between the usurper
Bonaparte and Ferdinand the VII and
that whenever the villanous contest is de-
cided, the government Of the u. States
will gladly recognise minister from Spain,
whether that minister be sent by Bona
parte or by Ferdinandl This is indeed
paltry excuse. Has not the independence
Of Spain been recognized recently, by all
the allied powers of Europe? France
and the U. States are the only two nations,
who refuse to acknowledge it. In this
case, as in most others, France and the U.
s,tates stand together against all the O.
tner nations of the world. 1t does now
appear, that our government are deter
mined to provoke q rupture with Spain
