was so small sasling, that the then ow-

the top with his pen-knife. During the

with friend, hastily took its dimensions.
At the ground, it would measure at least

Can't. Davis, of brig Cherub. from Lis
hon, communicates the following:
The fir.t part Of July Russian brig
arrived at Lisbon that had been captured
by an Algerine corsair, who pu, on board
the brig eleven Tu ks, and left the Rus
sian captain, with four of his crew, on
board his own vessel. a favorable OPP
portunity offered, when the Russians at
lacked the Turks and drove them all o.
yerbcard the Russian captain was se-
verely wounded in several places, but
was likely to recover. Two valuable
Portuguese lndiamen were captured the
1st of June in at SIS north, and long 54,
IS, west, by an American built schooner
mounting 10 guns, carronades, and car
ryine 10 men-supposed TO be the st.
Martin from Buenos Ayrcs, and former
" the American pGyatcer Congress, com.
mauded by John Deter. The officers
names were Isl, Richard Moon, Cd F.
jenkins, Sd, sprasue- The captain
gave certificate 10 English that ne had
Captured these vessels. By papers drop
ped by some of the officer, Of this Priva-
tcer, it apIea,s that person Of The name
Of T. NJ. Goodwin, of Baltimore, was one
with whom they had correspondent. The
officers of both the capt red ships, who
were pri,oners on board the privateer
Tor several days, say that all on board
spoke no other language than English.
and that they were all Americans but
one, who was a Spaniard, and that he
was a prisoner. The officers and crews
of these two ships were landed at the
island of Flores, and afterwards brought
TO Lisbon by the Portuguese tIigate San
Pedro-these two ships were considered
to be worth upwards OF million aud a
half of dollars-onc the Grand Para, tr.
Bengal, the other the Carolina, tr. Chi
na-much of the property in these two
vessels was owned in small shares by a
number of different individuals, who were
distressed exceedingly by the loss-and
it is difficult TO describe the excitements
that prevailed against the Americans &C.
nerally, later they had got the intclli-
gence Of these captures and particularly
against our government for not taking
SEINE more prompt and efficient measures
to prevent its citizens from engaging in
such acts OF plundcr aud piracy. Every
possible embarrassment seems to be laid
in the way of American trade. both in
Spain and Portugal. Captain Davis ex-
perienced not a little of il in the latter
place before his liceace could be obtained
for the shipment OF the specie which he
has brought on account OF the American
government.

COTTON MARKETS.
The advices respecting the cotton mar
kets continue to represent gradual and
steady Improvement il prices, in London,
where East India cotton forms the chief
object Of Interest, there has been lively
demand for that description of cotton,
and from to 5000 bales of Bcnsals were
sold at an advance of Id to Il per b.
Surats have also risen about I'd per 70 and
appearances were in favor Of still fur

in the Boweds ard Orleans. 1d in Sea-
Islands and Brazils, and corresponding
alteration in all other kinds at the public
sale on Friday, the number of buyers in
the market warranted the expectation OF
the BengaIs, then offered. fetching good
prices. aud the mark of those first put up
being of remarkable good quality, they
were expected to command I'D or even
I4ld at which price they accordingly o.
pened; some competition, however, soon
showed itself, which led the buyers far
beyond their original intentions as to
, price, and the same mark gradually rose
to I5Id, to l54d and one lot to l5i; this
spirit once excited continued to prevail
through the remainder of the sale; and
the whole of the cotton found buyers at
an advance of about I'd above what was
anticipated, the following being about the
average prices very good clean Is led
