A CAPTURE.
The New York Gazette Of Saturday
says: Capt. Bourne, Of the ship Doug.
lass, arrived yesterday from Rio de
Janeiro, makes the following report !:
-"March T, lat. %, long. SO 40, saw
bright sided ship, with an American
ensign and French flag at the main."
These signals are prize signals, and
we fear that one of our American ships
has fallen into the hands Of French
man of war. The only way that " e
can account for it, if our fears be corr
rect, is that the commander of somf,
French vessel has been into some sof
the w. India ports and heard the IN.
mours there that war had been declar.
ed between the two countries. We
know, in fact, that such a rumor has
prevailed in some Of the Islands, but
it will be difficult thing for an officer
TO justify the capture Of vessel 90 q
mere rumor of war.

gold and hard money is very clear and
apparent. Now call in your small bills
and see where the specie is.
