Heroic .4fdr.-T he following account of the
re-captnre of the brig F-ederick, of Stonington,
from the Pirates Of the Pacific, exhibits one Of
the most brilliant feats ever heard of. We
understand that when the Frederick arrived ar
Caiae, the owners were much pleased with
the gallant conduct of Capt. Burrows that they
Immediately presented him with the SUN OF five
thousand dollars.
The Frederick, Capt. A. III. Burrows, was
captured on the oath December near the port
of Quilca, where she was bouni, with a cargo
Of dry goods. Capt. Ii. relates the circumstances
as foliows:-At 10 p. IN. the Frederick was fired
into by an armed brig, and | was ordered on
board with my papers. After getting on board
and being closely examined respecting tiny yes
sci and cargo, they took possession of my vessel
and transferred the crew to the privateer. Du-
ring the night they stool to the southwark for
Mouiaendo, where they intended discharging
my cargo; but the next morning, when nearly
abreast of The port, saw ship standing in which
A. l. - =
and brig hauled of from the sllore--The capt
of the privateer then told me that heshoulh send
nv big to the island of Chloe, and if chose TO
go in her, and she arrived safe, that after dis
charging my cargo, he would give me up nv
vessel Thinking there might be some chance
of recovering her, and knowing that if left her
Ishould not get her again, chose to remain by
her, &after much persuasion prevaiedon him to
let me take my son with rne---but he would not
consent to my taking any more ofmy crew.
After plundering my vessel of about 1000
dollars worth of dry gools, rice, rigging, and
such other articles they were then in want of,
they put prize maste and niue men on board
and ordered us to make sail for the island of Chi
loe. Soon after leaving the privateer, learned
that her name the K.ntanealia, capt. Mat
talena, from the Island of Chloe, and that they
had previously taken several English and Pa
triot vessels, some of which they had burnt, and
large amount of money on board, taken from
them. ! also learned that capt. Matialcna had
formerly been an officer under Bcnavides, and
had headed gang in taking the American
brig 'Hersala, at the island Of st. AIarys.-
From this information, and his conduct in plum
dering my vessel, Ihadnoreason TO expect getting
her again, unless took her by force, which /
determined to do whenever favorable opportu-
nifty should offer. then loaded my pistols, also
those of the mate, which | had taken care to
stow away on my first arrival on board, from the
priyateer. I then informed my of my iEten
ton, and ordered him to hold himself in readi-
ness. Alter being in possession of the captors
7days, we succeeded in rc-taking her, drove the
Spaniards below in the middle of the day, and
then ordered them upon deck one at n time, and
tied their hands behinI-ttern, as had no irons
on board to secure them WITH | then shaped
my course for Callao--The next day ] put seven
of the prisoners in a whale boat, with provisions
and water to last them to the land--the other
three took with me to Callao, where arrived
two DAYS afterwards, and delivered the balance
of my cargo to the former owners. Two days
after my arrival, the privateer appeared off the
barbor of Callao, aud the United States schr.
Dolphin, Capt Connor, and the British frigate
: Tartar, Capt Brown, made sail in pursuit Of her,
but night coming on, she made her escape. a
short time after that the crew of a French ship
arrived in their boats, having been captured a
little to the leeward by the priyateer,. who had
taken from the ship $4,000, manned and order
Cd her for Cbiloe. On the 2 It'll of Nav, a few
DAYS before the Franklin left Valparaiso the
KntaneaIla arrived there, prize to French
sloop of war, who had captured her off QuiIca.
She had been to Chloe, had landed her money,
and was then on her second cruise.--[ JBer. .4de.
