ANOTHER BRILLIANT NAVAL
VICTORY

Achieved by the United States Frigate
Constitution, Captain Stewart. in the cap
ture of two British sloops of war, mounting
IS guns. after an action of fifty minutes, OIL
the 2Sth of February, off Madeira, with the
loss on our side of four killed and seven
wounded.
The following are all the particulars we
have received of this brilliant affair, fur
nlshed us by Capt Cahoone of the Reeve
nue. Gutter, who came up from the Ceyane
on Saturday evening. viz
Arrived off New York on Sunday, the
late British sloop of war Ceyane, rating 90
guns, Capt Gordon. Lieut. Hoffman prlze-
master prize to the Unred States Fri
gate Constitution. C4pt. Stewart, cap,u, ed
on the 2Sth of February, off Madeira, in
con pany with The l.evant sloop of war rat
ing Is guns, after an action of so minutes,
with loss TO the Constitution Of only 4
killed and wounded
TIE Ceysne and Levant engaged the
Constitution at the same time, one on her
bow, and the other on her quarter. The
Ceyane rates in s cells List vi 1914 at 20
guns, and mounts 3l-22 thirty-two pound
carronades ON her gun deck, and 2 long
mines on her forecasie. Toe Levant rates
at Is guns, and mounts 81.
The Constitution took both of her prizes
into ST. Yago, tone Of the Cape de Nerd
Islandsj where she landed her prisoners,
and on the morning of the 9Th of March
discovered three heavy British ships stand
ing in, upon which the Constitution made
a ST enal to cut and stand out to sea. The
signal order was Immediately executed. and
the Constitution with her two prizes made
all sail and stood to sea, closely pursued by
the British squadron. The Ceyane altered
her course, and was not pursued. Lost
sight ofthe Constitution and Levant in the
afternoon of the Sth, the British squadron
in chase--the Constitution and Levant a
bout two miles to the windward of the
chase and leaving the Levant and the Brl
fish squadron very fast.
A little be fore sun set, and shortly after
the Ceyane lost sight of the Constitution,
heavy cannonade was heard in the direction
of the hostile ships, from which circum-
stances. some of the officers Of the Ceyane
are fearful that the Levant was overtaken
by the British squadron, and probably re-
captured.
