Historical Fact.-It is commonly said and uni

revolutionary contest with Great Britain was on the
10Th OF April at Lerinston, and at Concord bui
this is not the ldcI tit was IN the year 1872, at
Pautucket, miles below Providence, when two
armed boats from that town attacked and DESTROYED
his Brilanic Niajesty's armed vessel the Gasuee,
whose commander DaddingSton, WIS shot dow n, and
who remained cripple all the days OF his life from
the wound This vessel wore the colors OF The
King, aud the commander his commission. As
this IS an undoubed TACT, why has it been overlook
ed Fl ne attack was in the night The action short
but severe, and those wounded our side conceal
