I" With pleasure | inform you we
have this moment anchored here with
aona2arte Of. board Since his defeat of
the 18th we have been sharply look
ing cut for him, understanding that he
was ia the neighborhood Of Roehfort, in
tending to escape to America with the
il.isates there. On the 10th of this
month we rec e;ved a flag of truce from
rim .srought by the Duke of Royiso. re-
requesting permission to pass the British
squadron as he understood a Passport
lad been granted h,m from the English
government. This, YOU may be assured,
aas in very strong terms refused. On
tae 18th, finding itutterly impossible to
escape, he sent his chamberlain count
las Cassus to treat for his reception on
board and conveyance to England, as
also to secure him protection on his ar
rival there. This however it was out of
our power to graaat.-At This time he
was on board the frigates at Rochfort,
hourly expecting to be detained, as the
towns had hoisted the Bourbon flag
Early on the morning of the 18th. we
despatched our boats for him. On com-
ing on board be bowed low, with rather
an naughty air, and said in French to
captain Maitland. Sir, / am come on
BOARD and claim the protection OF your
prince and your laws. He is the exact
resemblance of what you see in all the
print shops-plainly dressed in green
faced with red, about feet 7 inches high
rather coipulcnt, stern face and very
penetrating eyes--upon the whole good
looking we'll made man. calculated to com
mand respect. He had scarce been S
minutes on board whenhe requested The
officers might be introduced to him, which
was accordingly done. / have there
fore had that (once little expected ho-
nor. When ON deck he is constantly
euqlHring Into every thing. For the lst
day or two he appeared in uncommon
good spirits, but !stterly rather melan-
choly. He has written to the Prince
Regent claiming his protection. I din
ed with I'm the ether day. He said but
little, aud what surprised me speaks no
English. We are now fancy likely to
have long peace
BOSTON, sept. ..
We were Yesterday favored with Hall
fax papers to the 9sth alt. In the .arcG-
dian Recorder of the Goth, Wefnd the
following paragraph
:" A letter from Carthagena, dated
|July Is. 1915, states, that several Off
GERS of the American army, had been
seized BY the Alcaide. among whom
were Coz. Boestler, capt. Wilkinson
and lieut.. Ryan. It appears that they
had imprudentlv disclosed their inten-
ltion Of joining the Patriots, to party Of
aoyalists, by mistake. Some private
'Ietters we're found among their papers,
directed TO their friends in New-York
land Baltimore, which requested them to
lgive up the idea Of arriving at either for
Itune on fame in the revoutionized colen
lists of Spain. They we're sent in
chains ON board the St. ndephonso, then
lin the harbor. Prices of ammunition
and implements of war we're merely no
Iminal."

Imade in Halifax, for the relief OF the
