war FSoLIc, Captain Bainbridge, sailed from
cruizc and on Thursday evening last, the
u S. brig SrREN, Licu,ensnt Parker, in CO.
with tho privatecg brig Grand Turk, Breed,
sailed from Salem, bound on cruize. The
Syren pot into Salem few weeks since, in
consequence OF the indisposition of her CON-
mandcr. who, we learn, is now so far recov-
ne. ed as to resume his station and proceed 10
sea. The winds since their departure have
been very flaucring but they have not been
heard of since, and no doubt they have got
clear of the cnemy's cruizcrs, seen in cur
bay few days before, and clear OF the coast.
