We have been favored, (says the New-
Yoyk American with the following extract
from a memorandum kept by an officer on
hoard the schr. Jane, while in the service OF
,bs limited States, with a detachment OF 81 men
from the schr. G,ampus and Alligator, and UNI
dor the command of Capt. SrocKToN, IN pur-
SUI. of four p~iratical vessels, with from $50 to
200 men.
eve liberated an English brig, which
was 10 possession of four piratical vessels
oil Of whom were then in sight, and to
whom the Jane gave immediate pursuit
We took possession Of one schr. with a fuil
cargo taken from the brig; a second we
burned: a third we ran ashore, and, IN
pursuit Of the fourth, which was OF a ligb.
fer draught of water, and was running a.
way inside of the reefs. with the boats Y
crews of the others, the Jane unfortunately
ran on a shoal. 1t was a tatiguing, dittl.
cult, hazardous and dangerous pursuit OF
of one week. Our enemy had decidedly
the advantage in all respects, but that OF a
firm and determined spirit, and eDdeavor-
ed to persuade US he meant to take ad-
vantage ofhis strength; by shortening sail
aud hauling up in line of battle several
times during the chase; but on seeing the
Jane fearlessly approach, their hearts iail'
ed, and away they ran. At one time, the
Jane got near enough to two OF them TO
exchange some fifteen or twenty round
shot. Their twelves passed a considera.
bic distance over US; and almost every
shot between the masts. but the short SKIES
OF the Jane which had been taken from
the Alligator, could MT reach the piratlcal
vessels. We threw every thing overheard
but could not, with all our exertlons, get
near enough. Capt. Stockton ran the
Jane in pursuit till she touched the bot"
7Om several times, determined Ia get as
near as possible; and they, knowing that
we could no: get near enough, fired at US,
and laughed al our SKIES.
Every officer and nan on board, from
tue captain to the Doctor, determined to
die with each other, in their zeal on the
occasion. Capt. Copeland gave great sa-
t~istaction 10 Capt. Stockton and The other
officers, Mr.; Barney, MIR. Romans, Mr..
Samuel Stockton, Mr. Allen. and Mr.,
Harden, for his general department, and
the GOODNESS and resolution which marked
