Loss OF the private armed schr. Surprise,

The Surprise, containing the crew Of the
United States sloop of war Erie, sailed from
New York on the morning of the Sd inst
for Baltimore and at half after o'clock
the same day. she struck on Barnega: Shoals.
We immediately commenced throwing every
thing overheard to Tighten her, and run an
chors out astern with the hopes of getting
her oh but all our exertons proved ineffect-
uai. At half after - o'clock, we cut away
her masts IT was at this time we discov-
cred she had bilsed, and was full OF water
tore and aft, the sea increasing. and the wind
blowing fresh from the S. Z. M king at times
fair breach over her. We then thought it
most advisable 70 land as many of the crew as
possible from our two small boats ; but on at
tempting to approach the land, the surf ran
50 nigh that it was impossible to land them.
at So,clock we lost s ght of the wreck, and
at day ak fell in with tie Virginia .Ann,
from fredericksburg, who took US on board
and brought us into port. We had previ.
ous'y enoeavored to get a pho; boat to go in
search or the wreck but the pilots affirm
ed that it was Impossible 20 reach her To
night. 1t was then thought by all the oiFi.
GERS, that 1t was best to return to New York
with the men who had been saved. and con.
suit with Commodore Decatur as to the proc
per measures to be adj ed.
The names of the officers saved from the
wreck are as follows - Colonel Brook of the
y. states army leutenants Rousseau, Skin
er, hennoh, Bell and Lattimer; midship !.
man boarmaa, Sanderson and Mosher, and
70 seamen. Captain Barstow and lady were
also saved, and arrived safe in New York.

more clear, he proposes to consider the four
following topics successively-
I. The national character of the people Of
thetwo nations. 9. Their conduct towards other
nations. 8. The object of each in the existing
war. 4. The effects which the war may produce
on the rest ofEurope, either by the reduction,
or the security of the power and happiness of
the other.1
These four heads are the subjects of four
chapters; and the conduct Of the one aud of the
other are concisely exhibited. AS the Various
facts which constitute the evidence of the first
part, are already sufficiently familiar to the
minds OF every intelligent observer We have
preferred giving only the preceding outline Of
the work so far and we shall give free trans.

with the first chapter of the second part.
