DISPUTE BETWEEN THE BRITISH AND AhE-
RIcAN OFFICERS AT GIBRALTAR.
To the Editor OF the Courier:
Newport, Isle of Wight, Nov. 81.
Sir-An erroneous account Of the meeting
between the officers of the United States
ship Erie, and the officers of the 64th reg''
ment at Gibraltar, on the 1st of July, hav-
ing appeared in several newspapers, you
are requested to insert the following state
menf, which may be relied on as correct:
A few days after the arrival OF the United
States squadron at Gibraltar, in June last,
captain Johnson received letter from Mr.
Bourne, OF the Erie, as the friend OF leute-
nant Stockton, demanding meeting, IN
consequence of the interruption they had met
with at Michael's Cave on former occasion.
A correspondence ensued between MIR.
Bourne and captain Johnson's friend, captain
Girdlestone, who was most anxious to settle
the affair araitably but not succeeding, a
meeting took place in Spain on the LIST July.
The parties having met, a dispute arose be-
tween the seconds, as to the mode OF aring !;
Mr.. Bourne insisted that his friend should be
allowed 10 use his left arm as a rest for the
pistol. being his usual mode of firing ; to this
capt. Girdlestone most decidedly objected.
and declared he would not allow his
friend to take the ground on such terms Mr.
r. then said he must declare them to the
world-captsin G. said heshould not DO that
as HE was ready to meet either one or both
of them--and desired Mr.. B. to take his
ground--this Mr.. B. refused, as there would
be an inequality between them capt.
G. being obliged to wear his arm in sling,
in consequence of severe wound. After a
further discussion, NJ Bourne remarked, he
did not believe cant. johnson meant what he
said at the former meeting, but that ne said
it in passion. Captain 6. assured Mr.. b.
capt. J. did not think he had acted coward
ly in any part of the affair. Mr. B. added,
he did not think capt. Johnson meant to in
suit his friend Mr.. Stockton. Captain Girdle-
stone replied, it was impossible capt. John
son could have intended that, and he had
no doubt capt. j. would say so himself
capt. J. on being spoken to, said the same
Captain G. then proposed that the parties
should shake hands, and thus ended the I'M
pleasant affair. to the honor and satisfac-
tion-of both parteis.
The editor is requested to add. that the
statement of the affair between Mr.. Multi,
and the American officer was written by him.
self, for the information of his friends, and
not the statement of the officers OF the
84th regiment, concerned in the dispute
with those officers.

The fever in this place has entirely subs-

The pirates that were taken by Captain
Loonis, some time since, near the Tortugas

the fate of the others. Some threats have

Our commerce has not yet taken start
Our exports during the last week are rather
inconsiderabIe. About loo bales of Gotten,
$50 hhds. OF sugar, and $50 hhds. tobacco,
have been shipped, chiefly to the Atlantic
ports.
Cotton 1890 bales have come down the
river during the last week. Some sales have
been effected at 10, but that article cannot
command more than 10 cents.
Tobacco is selling by parcels from 81 to 7
cents.
Sugar is on ITS way TO town, some hhds.
have been sold at auction at 81 payable
IN cash, some private transactions have been
entered at 81 8. part credit, and we think
those prices will be the settled prices of the
market.
Flour is selling at dollars, but the hrst
arrival must depreciate that quotation.
