A SPANISH VESSEL CAP.
TURED,

The brig Eagle, Davis, arrived 18th
March at New Haven. from Martini
que. A friend has transmitted US the
toliowig information:
A "a from Brcst arrived 18th of
March at Martinique; left Brest 9th
February bringing King Louis'S
Speech, equal to a declaration of war
against Spain. The "a captured on
her passage out "a gun ship, which
attacked the "a through error III the
night The Spaniard was from Ha.
vana or Vera Cruz, having on board
about 80 passengers, and about 3 mil.
lions of franks (tournois) III specie,
indigo, coshineal, &c. bound TO Ca

Capt Davis states verbally that the
capture was not considered as having
been made on the ground OF the attack
by the sioop OF war.
Captain Selby Of the brig Nancy,
arrived on Saturday, from Havana,
sailed on the Goth March, in compa
ny with nineteen sail, English, Ouch
and American, under convoy OF the
English sIoop of war Ranger, of %
guns. Vessels run so great a risque
IN coming into or going out oil Havana
that captain S, deemed it advisable to
wait three days for convoy. He saw
the pirates take brig in sight OF Mo
TO Castle, and chase Dutch ship
close 10 the Moro The brig which
was captured was a Dutch vessel,
from Amsterdam, as was ascertmned
by the marks of some ofthe goods
which were landed. The crew are
believed to have been murdered. The
atrocities committed on this coast are
ofthe most shocking description. The
men are murdered and the women
Iavishcd. No American vessels OF
war was there to afford protection to
our commcrce.-Pha. Gaa.

A PRECIOUS CONFESSION.

The following article is from an English paper.
Amid the evidence oil NATIONAL feeling, in Boosting
OF an acquisition TO their navy, which we think a
feeling not only correct but praiseworthy in every
nation, we glad to find an admission which will
be gratifying 10 every American that the British
Navy during the late war with the United States,
could not gireS the lonhee .frigate the dressing
they too tong Wanted We guess, that ii any occa-
sion should bring John Bulls sixly-gun Lancaster
IN opposition TO and within reach OF one OF iona
thans huge irgates it would soon be proved, that
Jonathan had not lost the art of dressing, or the
ability TO remain undreSsed. We are free to state,
however, that instead Of contest between the Brit
lsh aud American naves, we should be much more
gratlhed by their union in defence OF freedom and
equal rights 10 all independent nations against the
schemes and power OF the Holy Alliance And
this we believe, to be the sincere desire of great
majority Of The American peope.--Bat. d. .Adr.
LAUNCH OF THE LANCASTER OF SIX.

The launch OF the fine vessel above named, took
place last Friday evening about six O'Clock. A
little before six O'Clock, Mrs. Bowes (lhe lady Of
the present worthy High Sheriff OF Devon was in.
rodnced by Commissioner Shield to christen the
vessel, and almost Immediately after the perform
ance OF that ceremony, the Lancaster glided from
her slip towards the harbour, aud in less than half
minute embraced her native element in liamosze.
She IS remarkably fine fligate, mounts 60 guns,
has Hush deck, beautiful round stern, & an ani
mated bust at her head. She has been built upon
the same plan, and has much the appearance Of the
