The Endcavor, (ariived at the V ncyarsi from

The swedish 'chr Carl, from ST Barts. arrived
at an Eastern bye port, but parted her cables in a

We are informed, by gentlemen from the Vine.

on the l4th inst he was on board the Orpheus fri

to be inuel injured and that he understood size

ed several broadsides from her, which killed 20 Of
her men and that the Valiant, "a coming up, the
President made sail and escaped. Persons lately
from Plymouth have stated, that sailor was there,
who gave account similar TO The above, and that
he had been landed from the Orpheus. II is Ger.
tainly rather mysterious affair, as vessels which
have been boarded by the 0rpheus some DAYS after
the President sailed heard nothing of the circum.

only much more desultory, and of course
less interesting, an inference which may be
readily dednced from the circumstance that
