80 to 40 years of age, rather below the
common stature, and of ordinary person
al appearance. He has native talents,
but they have not been extensively i'm
proved, nor we'll regulated. Were he
in military life, Evans thinks he might
display some courage; but as yet has
exhibited nothing of the kind worthy of
notice. Allen is from New-York, and
was formerly midshipman in our navy
is 81 years of age, and a " tolerable
good looking man." He has sailed on
several cruises under Miaulis and the
Greek commanders, by whom he has
been much praised. He has fought
valiantly in several engagements, and
been several times severely wounded.
