Havana, Dec. 90, ls26.--An embargo having
been laid (anG expressly in contravention too,
Of the treaty existing between our country and
SPAIN gives me an opportunity OF adding some
thing more on the subject Of La Borde's move
ments. 1t seems, when he sailed, although he
had very superior force with him, it was his
intention TO fall in with the Casilda frigate;
which vessel had been despatched to convey
some vessels 10 windward. Unfortunately the
Spanish Commodore has missed the Casilda,
as she arrived next day in this port, and remains
snug ct anchor. Nothing has been heard Of
the squadron since it sailed: rumor says La
Borde has gone to windward to exercise his
men, SC.
The general impression is, Porter will lead
him dance; that he has gone off Porto Rico
first, from Cape Antonio, there to do all the
mischief ne can; compel La Borde TO follow
him, and then bend his course down this direc-
ton, and so lead them South sea dance. How
ever, all is conjecture, and as soon as any thing
transpires worth communicating, shall write

Much apprehension has, and is, expressed,

port, should Porter be successful against La

that the Constellation is here, who is ready, at
all times, to protect American citizens and their

ADMIRALTY OFFICE, Lee. 10.
A letter has been received from Com Bullen,
senior officer Of his Maes,y's ships on the coast
of Africa, addressed to John Wilson Croaker,
ESQ. and dated at Princes Island, the 18th OF
Sept, last, in which he reports the capture OF
slave vessel, under Brazilian colors, called the
Prince Of Guinea, by the Hope schooner, man
ned by party Of officers and men from his Ma
jes,y's ship Maidstone, under the orders OF
Lieut.. WIN. Tucker, Of that ship.
The Hope fell in with the Prince OF Guinea
on the 5th of August, shortly after she had sail.
ed from Whydah with Ave hundred and seven.
weigh, slaves on board, and aflera chace oil
twenty-eight hours the Hope came up with her
on the 9th, and severe action began between
the two vessels.
The Hope was schooner OF one hundred
and forty tons, armed with long traversing IL
FOUNDER aud four 10 Founders, and manned
with 50 officers and men, including eight native
Africans.
The Prince of Guinea was brig Of TWO hun
dred and lightweight American tons, recently
built at Philadelphia, pierced for l6 guns, but
having only nine mounted, viz: long travers-
ing "a FOUNDER, four long Founders, two long
Founders, and two swivel,, and manned with
u men.
After upwards Of two hours hard fighting,
Lieut. Tucker, having three out OF his i've guns
disabled, from the heavy FIRE OF the Prince OF
Guinea. resolved on boarding her, and the
Lieutenant being prevented from leading the
boarders by very severe wound in his right
foot, received at the commencement OF the &C
ton, but Notwithstanding which he continued
Throughout, personally 10 6ght the traversing
gun they we're led, IN the most gallant man
ner, by MIR. Robert Lamport Pengelly, Adrhi-
rally Mate Of the Maidstone, (who, in boarding,
was wounded in the right side by musket
ball.) and they succeeded in gaining footing
upon the vessels decks, and, after light OF
several minutes, in getting possession OF her,
though not wi,hou, considerable bloodshed.
The slave vessel had eleven seamen and two
slaves killed, and fifteen seamen and twelve
slaves wounded, and one seaman and one slave
were drowned in the boarding.
The Maidstone party had none killed, and
only three wounded, viz. Lieutenant Tucker
severely, but not dangerously, MIR. Pengelly,
The Mate, slightly, and William Newson, ordi-
nary seamer, dangerously.
In making the report Of this capture, Com
modore Bullen passes the highest encomiums on
the brave and galan, conduct OF Lieutenant
Tucker, Mr.. Pengelly, and the men serving un-
der the I.ieutenant's orders in the Hope, aud
he notices the active exertions Of Mr.. George
Williams, Assistant Surgeon Of the Maidstone
both during the action and afterwards, IN his
humane attendance on the wounded prisoners.
