arrived there from Porto Belo, having on board,
as passengers, Capt. Bossiere and crew, of the
brig Seraphim, of Baltimore. which vessel had
been destroyed by the batteries at Porto Beio
The following statement, from memory, is fur
nished by Capt. Aveilhe, as an extract from the
log book of the schr. Phantom, which vessel was
ying near the battery during the attack, and was
to have been published in the Kingston papers the
day the Marion sailed, but for the want Of room
was omitted:-0n or about the Goth May, the
Seraphim arrived at Porto Belo, and came to off
the Fort as usual, when Captain Bossiere went
ashore to the Fort. A short time afterwards, he
was seen from thePhantom flying towards his boat,
with the Spaniards in pursuit; he finally reached
his boat and got safe on board his vessel. He i'm
mediately hove up his anchor and made sail; the
wind being ahead, he was compelled to beat As
soon as he was under way the batteries commenc-

his mate and several of his men. He then came

reason of his being fired into, but the boat, crew
and second mate, under whose command she was,

continued firing with no colors up. while the Sc

ger, who witnessed the whole transaction. went
ashore to the commander of the battery and beg

Capt Bossiere came ashore himself, he would
countermand the order; he however ceased fir

Bossiere to that effect, and sent i, by Capt. Els

the barses to board him, there being several at

to leave his vessel with a few wounded men, and
