UNITED STATES SHIP DoLPHIN.-On the night Of
the goth, as the sampan attending on the United
States ship Dolphin returning about O'Clock,
from Macao, having officer ON board, she was
hailed from a large junk and ordered 20 "comc
aongsde;" and in n few seconds afterwards was
fired at. the shot being well directed for China
The Dolphin being then within hearing, the
officer hailed her, and was answered Immediately
when the junk put about and stood seaward with
the tide, there being no wind. Captain Page i'm
mediatcly sent armed boat under officer in
pursuit, with orders 10 capture the junk. He had
not gone far, when abe cspied making good
Roadway with her oars, aided by the tide. After a
chasc Of about two miles, the officer came up with
her, and finding that the men had ceased pulling,
and we're at their guns and pixies, with matches
lighted. and were attempting 10 train their guns
(eght in numbcr) on his boat, he gave them n
round from the carbncs. This not being enough
10 intimidate the Cinnamon, who fired one of their
guns, he ordered second round, and then boarded,
and found the nets triced up fore and aft. Some
resistance was made even then but the Dolphins
men getting ON deck, the Chinese gave in, and
most Of them escaped over the stern OF the junk.
Two we're found dead, one badly wounded, and
three unhurt. In about three hours the officer
turned with his prize in tow. AS the attack was
made within the waters Of Macao, (between the
Typa fort and the city,) the remainder Of the crew
and junk have been delivered up for trial 10 the
authorities of Macao.
