DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND. The schooner
Lone, Captain Clark, cleared at New Orleans
some weeks since, for Mexico, with valuable
cargo, and despite the vigilance of the French
blockading squadron succeeded in getting into
Metamoras. On her return, she was taken by
French cruiser, in obedience to the Admirals
decree. ordering the capture of all merchant
men that attempt either to enter or 90 out OF
Mexican ports. Captain Clark, not being a.
ware of such decree, sailed without suspicion
of being captured; but soon after clearing the
mouth Of the Brasos she was boarded by boats
from French brig, and his vessel taken pos
session of. portion of his crew and passen-
gers were conveyed on board the brig, and a
prize master and eight men left on board the
Lone. BY some hocus pocus process, Cap
tain Clark, with no other aid than that of his
mate and steward, succeeded in recapturing the
vessel. He hauled down the tri-colored flag
and hoisted in its place the Star Spangled Ban
ner. She had $4,000 in specie and 1000 hides
and arrived safely at New Orleans.

Our only apprehension as to the result OF tho , e.

that Mr.. Sprague, the Wing candidate, had TIL with

the continental troops which could be spar
ed from that post to march down the Hud-
son OIL its east side, general Washington
passed the North River, and was in full
march towards Kngs-bridge with an army
of near ten thousand men excluding militia,
when the sudden return of sir Henry Cln-
ton disappointed the hopes which had been
formed of finding New York weakly defend
ed. The enterprise being thus defeated,
the American army recrossed the Hudson.
and took post near Orangetown. In order
to facilitate the operations which were still
meditated against New York, the comman-
der in chief also took possession of the
ground at Dobb's ferry, about ten miles a.
bove Kings-bridge, where some works were
thrown up to command the communication
across the river.
The hope of acquiring superiority at
sea was still cherished, and of conseq dence
the designs on New York were only sus-
pended. This hope was strengthened by
the intelligence that the count De Guchen
had been joined in the West Indies by a
powerful Spanish armament. The cheva-
lier De Ternay had dispatched packet to
inform him, that he was blocked up by a
superior force under Arbulbnot, and to So
lcit such re-enforcements MS the situation
of the count might enable him to spare.
Relying on the success of this application,
the American general impa,ently expected
the moment when De Ternay would be en-
abled TO act Extensively. In addition TO the
prospect of aid from the West Indies, the
second division Of the armament fitted oui
at Brest to consist of four ships of the line
and four thousand land troops was daily
expected. General Washington, therefore,
continued to make the most strenuous ex-
ertions to place himself in a situation to a
vail his country to the utmost of the favor
able combination Of circumstances which
was looked for"
