General Note:
The Berbice gazette, published in New Amsterdam, Berbice, began between 1804 (Berbice gazette, December 7, 1901, page 1) and 1806 (Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, October 1918, page 285), depending on the source consulted, although there is reference to a newspaper located in New Amsterdam by this name in a letter dated May 7, 1805 (Kort historisch verhaal van den eersten aanleg, lotgevallen en voortgang der particuliere colonie Berbice, gelegen in het landschap Guiana in Zuid-America, 1807). Nicolaas Volkerts is often credited with establishing the Berbice gazette, however he was publishing the Essequebo and Demerary gazette in Stabroek, Demerara (now Georgetown, Guyana) until 1806, when he lost his status as the government printer to his former partner, then rival, Edward James Henery, publisher of the Essequebo and Demerary royal gazette. Volkerts remained in Demerara until July 1807, making it unlikely for him to have been the original publisher of the Berbice gazette. By 1813, the newspaper had been sold to William Schulz, who would oversee publication of the newspaper for the next two to three decades. In 1822, the title of the paper was briefly changed to the Berbice gazette and New Amsterdam advertiser, before becoming the Berbice royal gazette and New Amsterdam advertiser, a few months later. Around 1837, the name of the paper was shortened to the Berbice advertiser, which only lasted until May 1840 (Journal of the Statistical Society of London, July 1841, page 125). The discontinuation of the Berbice advertiser may have been a result of a libel suit against the then publisher John Emery (Legal observer, or, Journal of jurisprudence, November 9, 1844, page 19). Whatever the reason behind the cessation of the Berbice advertiser, it was soon after replaced by another iteration of the Berbice gazette, started by George A. M'Kidd around 1841. Sometime between 1846 and 1858, the name of the newspaper changed to become the Berbice gazette and British Guiana advertiser (The Creole, March 6, 1858, page 1). Publication was suspended for a few months that year but returned in December 1858 as a weekly newspaper with a new publisher, John Thompson (The Creole, December 11, 1858, page 2). Thompson returned the name of the newspaper to the Berbice gazette in 1877 and continued to publish it until his death in 1879. Charles Edwin Hooten purchased the newspaper and ran it for the next 8 years, until falling into the hands of its final publisher, William MacDonald. The Berbice gazette published its final issue on March 29, 1902.

utusd.it, sprit. 22, IS 15.
TVe lay before our Readers those paragraphs the
most interesting, from the I.eudun Papers brought
by the Mail last week.
Feb. 19.—Yesterday wo received Paris Papers of
the 14th and 15ht inst. The articles from Vienna
affirm, not merely that the discussions there had ta taken
ken taken a favourable turn, but that all affairs there had
been satisfactorily adjusted. Tim statement we ap apprehended
prehended apprehended is premature, and ground upon thc fact of
the exchange at Vienna, which had fallen to 310, and
upwards, improved in one day 44, being on the 3d
inst. at 296, and on thc sth, nt 391. Well informed
persons in Vienna, ars of opinion however, that Con Congress
gress Congress will break up without commencing precise ar arrangement,
rangement, arrangement, and that thc military occupations of Po Poland,
land, Poland, by the Russians ; of Italy, by tbe Austrians ; of
Saxony, and the department of Roer, by the Prus Prussians
sians Prussians ; ond of Belgium, by the Dutch and British for forces,
ces, forces, wiA ultimately decide all principal question
which have been the subjects of political agreement.
The Duke of Wellington arrived at Viennabnthe
night of the Ist inst. His Grace had taken
residence at the hotel of Klapperstat. On the 2d he
dined with several other Ministers at M. Ilerris, the
banker.
The intelligence from Rome is of a distressing na nature
ture nature : much alarm prevails there on account of the
opproach of Murat’s army, which still treatens the
city. The Paris Papers now assert that France gets
an increase of territory from the Congress at Vienna.
Yesterday Brussels and Frankfort Papers were re received.
ceived. received. From the former place the Staff Officers of
the British army in Belgium received orders to join
their respective regiments in Britain, from which it
is inferred, that the British troops are about to with withdraw
draw withdraw entirely from Belgium. The English German
Legion now in Brabandt, is about to return to Hano Hanover.
ver. Hanover. A Swiss Paper contains a notice from the late
King of Sweden, warning tbe Editors of Newspapers
not to use offensive expressions towards his son.

Feb. iS.-The Brussels Gazette tontain. f t
lowingarticle Newscommingfromagoo-J °4
affirm that at the Congress of Vienna all The
have convenantod that the possessions of St. ‘
should be guaranteed by a solem act to Louis XVm
that inconsequence England itself and the J’
Maritime Powers, if necessary, would contribute?
the armament and the expedition. Inthisman °
vast colony, which is of suehfeert
mable value to France, would be easily effected '
the occupation of it would leave no room for faj?
fears.” 61
Ancona, Feb. 3.—His Excellency Baron Cak
cosa has juM published a Proclamation to the
inhabiting the Marches and thc Legations,
is the following phrase :—
People of Italy! Be united under the
of that great Prince, of the hero of the age,
our foreign He desires your happiness, ani '
are alt his children, by whatever name in the client
of country causes you to be called, Rally round thu
invicible Captain, whose arm so powerfully eXert 1
itself in the late war, to protect your provinces fm,
those horrors which have desolated the other eountri u
of Europe.”
Brussel, Feb. 15.—Lord Casllereagh is expected
heie every moment. Tbe vessel which expects hi®
at Ostend is ready to sail at a moment’s warning; it
is, however, very likely, that he may go by way o f
Holland, and that for important reasons.
From this circumstance it may not unreasonably
be inferred that the future state of ths United Ke Kethcrlands
thcrlands Kethcrlands is definitively settled, in the general ar arrangement
rangement arrangement of European affairs.
Feb. 24.—We received this morning the Paris Pa. j
pers of Tuesday last, and from the Moniteur havin»
copied in a prominent manner the articles which
st .ted that the affairs of Saxony and Poland had*
been arranged ; adding also, under the head of Vicnns,
Feb. 3, that “ the fate of Saxony being decided, the
Congress is about to take into consideration thc second
object of their deliberations, the affairs of Germany,”
we may infer that (hat difficult business has been at
lenght settled.
But we cannot say that it has been decided in an.
tisfactory manner. We should have referred seeing
the whole of Saxony given to Prussia. The King of
Saxony deserved nothing from the Allies against
whom he made every possible effort, and, be it recol recollected,
lected, recollected, without compulsion, for he remained faithful
to Bonaparte when he might have safely declared
against him. Alter restoring the King of Saxony,
we are not surprised to that another Monarch's
claim to indemnity has been entertained by the Con Congress—-the
gress—-the Congress—-the KingofDcnmark ! He demands, it seems,
to be indemnified for the loss ol Norway !
Brussels and Frankfort Papers arrived this morn morning.
ing. morning. They contain little more than the articles we
received by the French Papers, which, as it should
seem, by the common consent of all Powers, arc to be
encouraged in their circulation throughout Europe,
to the exclusion of other journals, particularly the
British. The consequence is, that the Continent is
presented with little else than the French pictures or
representations of affairs, and that it will take in time
all those impressions which France wishes to give it.
The march of the Congress lately is said to have
accelerated by the notice given by Lord Castlereagh
of his immediate departure from Vienna. He pres pressed
sed pressed the Congress to declare upon three points before
his departure—Saxony, the left bank of the Rhine,
and the Slave Trade. He was to set off early in Fe February
bruary February ; but he deferred his departure firsLto the 10th,
then to the 12th, and last, it is said to the 15th. By
the 12tb, is added, all the three points were decided;
that relative to the Slave Trade occupied a Committee ,
of eight Members of the Congress, six days. We un understand
derstand understand that the Pope’s Minister, Gonsalvi, was on
the side of those who opposed the British Minister.
Bonaparte has rejected all the proposals made to
him togive up the Isle of Elba, and retire to Scotland.
The proposals were then submitted to Congress, with
a view of compelling him to accede to them, but the

Leghorn, Feb. 5. —It is reported here that a young
Corsican, called Theodore Ãœbaldi, after having been
some days at the Eiland of Elba, had contrived to
introduce himself into the'interior of Bonaparte’s
house: this young man, instigated, it is supposed,
by an old family pique, approached the Sovereign
of the Island, who at the time was occupied in peru perusing
sing perusing some papers, and attempted to assassinate him
with a stiletto ; but a steel buckle, attached to a belt,
rendered the attempt ineffectual. Bonaparte seized
the unfortunate man, disarmed him, and delivered
him to one of his guards, who conducted him to pri prison.

Extract from an Inverness Journal, Jan. 20.—
“ A very handsome Snuff Box, mounted with a
Scotch pebble, was lately presented to Mr. Gordon
Ross, of Alness, bearing the following inscription:
‘ Presented by the Owners of the T :g Bridget, of
Liverpool, Archibald Kenmtn, Comr,ander, to Mr.
Gordon Ross, of Alness, in testimony of the gallant
conduct of his Son Donald Ross, in an action with
an American privateer, off the coast of Surinam.’—

Captureof His Majesty's Ships cyjxf. andleunt,
by the American Frigate constitution.
—oa»
The Constitutionkft Boston bay on the 17th of De December
cember December last, on a cruise. On the fOtli February,
about 100 miles eastward of Madeira, she fell in with
and captured, after a very warm action, the British
Sloops of war Cyano and Levant, from Gibraltar
bound to the Western Islands. The enemy was dis discovered
covered discovered by the largest of the ships (which was the
Cyane), about oie o’clock in the afternoon, wherrshe
soon tacked and stood towards her. At two o’clock,
commencing up within a sufficient distance for the
purpose, .she made signals to the Constitution, to as ascertain
certain ascertain whether she was a friend or foe—but from
thair not being answered by the enemy, she knew her
to be an American frigate, am! immediately bore up
and made all .sail to the westward, for the purpose of
communicating with her consort the Levant; making
signals to her at the same time, and enforcing their
observance with guns. The Constitution made all
sail in chase, gaining fast; and on arriving within
gan-shot commenced, at about three o’clock, a fire
from her bow chescrs. At 45 minutes past three, the
Constitution's main royal was carried away by press
of sail, which enabled the Cyane to distance her fire.
The Levant, then to leeward, having answered sig signals
nals signals made by the Cyane, hauled her wind and crowd crowded
ed crowded canvas to pass within bail of her consort, w hich
she accomplished ata few minutes before six. Our
two ships at this time had concluded it most advis advisable
able advisable to delay the action, if possible, till the evening,
in order to gain the advantage of the enemy in their
manoeuvres. At 6, the Cyane and Levant hauled to
on the starboard tack, and hauled up their main
curses—when the Constitution hauled up on the same
tack to preserve the weather gage, hauled up her
curses also, and hoisted the American union. At ten
minutes past six, the Cyane got upon the Constitu Constitution’s
tion’s Constitution’s starboard quarter, and the Levaut upon her
starboard bow, when the broadsides of all three ships
immediately opened, with a tremendous and well welldirected
directed welldirected fire. The action contiuacd in this position

nearly half an hour, when from the main top-gallan{
mast and gaff, which had been shot away, and from
other serious damage in her rigging, the Cyane broke
round ofl', perfectly unmanageable. Just previous
to this, the Levant, on (he Constitution’s bow, ranged
a-head, with intention of raking the enemy, which
the latter frustrated by boarding her fore tack, and
thereby fore-reaching on her. This compelled the
Levant to put her helm up, and receive the raking
fire of the Constitution ; which she did, and with alt
possible expedition made sail before the wind, having
suffered very severely in her tuning rigging. Dun*
ing these occurrences, the Cyane, upon the Consti Constitution’s
tution’s Constitution’s quarter, had endeavoured to cross her stern,
but from her disabled condition she could not effect
her purpose.
When the Levant made sail, the enemy’s frigata
wore, which brought the Cyane on her starboard bow,
and then ranged alongside of her. The Cyane being
much disabled, and having five feet water in her hold,
was not in a condition to renew the contest, and there therefore
fore therefore struck her colours and fired a gun to leewardj
The Constitution put her 2d Lieutenant (HoffmanJ
and a prize crew on board—and at half-past seven,
made sail in pursuit of the other sloop of war, who
had repaired damages, obtained the weather gage,
and was standing down upon the Constitution. Ar Arriving
riving Arriving within a proper distance, she fired a broadsido
into the Constitution, and hauled her wind for th#
northward. The Constitution, sailing much Tastex
than the Levant, overhauled her at nine o’clock,
when all further resistance being useless, she struck
her colours, and the Constitution put her first Lieut.
(Ballard) on board, as prize-master.
The evening was a fair moonlight. The Constitu Constitution
tion Constitution had 4 killed and 12 wounded—and the Cyan* 4:
killed and IS wounded—and the Levant 6 killed aud
16 wounded.
The next morning (Feb. 21.) the three ship# stood
to the westward, and at day-light on the 23d made
Porto Santo, one of the Madeiras, barring south.
From this time till the Sth of March, they were underv
short cruising sail, standing to the southward— and
on the evening of the Sth, they anchorad in the isla
of May, one of the Cape de Verds. Left that next
day nt noon, and on the 10th of March anchored in
the harbour of Porto Praya, in the islands of St. Jago,
also one of the Cape de Verds. On the J2th, the
Newcastle, Acasta, and Leander, which had been in
search of the Constitution during her whole cruise,
appealed off the harbour. The Constitution and her
prizes immediately weighed anchor, and made alt
sail by the wind, and the three Biitish friga es tacked
and made sail in chase. At one the Cyane,
finding she was unable to keep with the other two
vessels, tacked to the northward and westward,
by made her escape, w ith intention of pursuing her
way direct for the United States—having left thu
three British frigatea in pursuit of the Cpnstitntioa
and Levant. At two o’clock, the isle of May a-head
the ‘Constitution by signa! ordered the Levant to
tack, which she obeyed, and the British frigates tack tacked
ed tacked also, and stood after her; when the Acasta and
Leander soon opened their ports upen her, but she
notwithstanding succeeded in regaining the harbour
of Porto Praya, (relaying upon protection from the
neutrality of the port) and anchored under the land
under a Portuguese fort of between 30 and 40 guns.
The Acasta and Newcastle,after firing several broad broadsides
sides broadsides into her, took possession her, and ordered her
to Barbados, under the command of Lieutenant Jel Jellicoc,
licoc, Jellicoc, formerly of the Cyane, having also acting
Lieutenant Jones on board, belonging to her befora

of her prisoners ashore at Porto Praya, befo.e the
British squadron hove in sight.

TVe lay before our Readers those paragraphs the most interesting, from the I.eudun Papers brought by the Mail last week. Feb. 19.—Yesterday wo received Paris Papers of the 14th and 15ht inst. The articles from Vienna affirm, not merely that the discussions there had taken a favourable turn, but that all affairs there had been satisfactorily adjusted. Tim statement we apprehended is premature, and ground upon thc fact of the exchange at Vienna, which had fallen to 310, and upwards, improved in one day 44, being on the 3d inst. at 296, and on thc sth, nt 391. Well informed persons in Vienna, ars of opinion however, that Congress will break up without commencing precise arrangement, and that thc military occupations of Poland, by the Russians ; of Italy, by tbe Austrians ; of Saxony, and the department of Roer, by the Prussians ; ond of Belgium, by the Dutch and British forces, wiA ultimately decide all principal question which have been the subjects of political agreement. The Duke of Wellington arrived at Viennabnthe night of the Ist inst. His Grace had taken residence at the hotel of Klapperstat. On the 2d he dined with several other Ministers at M. Ilerris, the banker. The intelligence from Rome is of a distressing nature : much alarm prevails there on account of the opproach of Murat’s army, which still treatens the city. The Paris Papers now assert that France gets an increase of territory from the Congress at Vienna. Yesterday Brussels and Frankfort Papers were received. From the former place the Staff Officers of the British army in Belgium received orders to join their respective regiments in Britain, from which it is inferred, that the British troops are about to withdraw entirely from Belgium. The English German Legion now in Brabandt, is about to return to Hanover. A Swiss Paper contains a notice from the late King of Sweden, warning tbe Editors of Newspapers not to use offensive expressions towards his son. Feb. iS.-The Brussels Gazette tontain. f t lowingarticle Newscommingfromagoo-J °4 affirm that at the Congress of Vienna all The have convenantod that the possessions of St. ‘ should be guaranteed by a solem act to Louis XVm that inconsequence England itself and the J’ Maritime Powers, if necessary, would contribute? the armament and the expedition. Inthisman ° vast colony, which is of suehfeert mable value to France, would be easily effected ' the occupation of it would leave no room for faj? fears.” 61 Ancona, Feb. 3.—His Excellency Baron Cak cosa has juM published a Proclamation to the inhabiting the Marches and thc Legations, is the following phrase :— People of Italy! Be united under the of that great Prince, of the hero of the age, our foreign He desires your happiness, ani ' are alt his children, by whatever name in the client of country causes you to be called, Rally round thu invicible Captain, whose arm so powerfully eXert 1 itself in the late war, to protect your provinces fm, those horrors which have desolated the other eountri u of Europe.” Brussel, Feb. 15.—Lord Casllereagh is expected heie every moment. Tbe vessel which expects hi® at Ostend is ready to sail at a moment’s warning; it is, however, very likely, that he may go by way o f Holland, and that for important reasons. From this circumstance it may not unreasonably be inferred that the future state of ths United Kethcrlands is definitively settled, in the general arrangement of European affairs. Feb. 24.—We received this morning the Paris Pa. j pers of Tuesday last, and from the Moniteur havin» copied in a prominent manner the articles which st .ted that the affairs of Saxony and Poland had* been arranged ; adding also, under the head of Vicnns, Feb. 3, that “ the fate of Saxony being decided, the Congress is about to take into consideration thc second object of their deliberations, the affairs of Germany,” we may infer that (hat difficult business has been at lenght settled. But we cannot say that it has been decided in an. tisfactory manner. We should have referred seeing the whole of Saxony given to Prussia. The King of Saxony deserved nothing from the Allies against whom he made every possible effort, and, be it recollected, without compulsion, for he remained faithful to Bonaparte when he might have safely declared against him. Alter restoring the King of Saxony, we are not surprised to that another Monarch's claim to indemnity has been entertained by the Congress—-the KingofDcnmark ! He demands, it seems, to be indemnified for the loss ol Norway ! Brussels and Frankfort Papers arrived this morning. They contain little more than the articles we received by the French Papers, which, as it should seem, by the common consent of all Powers, arc to be encouraged in their circulation throughout Europe, to the exclusion of other journals, particularly the British. The consequence is, that the Continent is presented with little else than the French pictures or representations of affairs, and that it will take in time all those impressions which France wishes to give it. The march of the Congress lately is said to have accelerated by the notice given by Lord Castlereagh of his immediate departure from Vienna. He pressed the Congress to declare upon three points before his departure—Saxony, the left bank of the Rhine, and the Slave Trade. He was to set off early in February ; but he deferred his departure firsLto the 10th, then to the 12th, and last, it is said to the 15th. By the 12tb, is added, all the three points were decided; that relative to the Slave Trade occupied a Committee , of eight Members of the Congress, six days. We understand that the Pope’s Minister, Gonsalvi, was on the side of those who opposed the British Minister. Bonaparte has rejected all the proposals made to him togive up the Isle of Elba, and retire to Scotland. The proposals were then submitted to Congress, with a view of compelling him to accede to them, but the * viz.—Household furniture, plate, glass, and earthenware, a valuable collection of book*, among which are the Encyclopedia Pertbensis, Naval Chronicle, &c. valuable gold watch, about 25 dozen choice old Madeira wine, a valuable negro, named Wilitunj, a complete house servant, and several field People.

The subject was referred t » right Ministers. la{ I In th ir first con'erence, Spain, Frame, and PorI tugal, re. >-nised the principle of abolition, but inia.

I Spain and Portugal, the former dedal ing that she had til I fixed the definitive abolition at eight years. ‘d I The Portuguese Envoy asserted, that Portugal by r, I the treaty of IS 10 had only promised the gradual 's I abolition of the treaty, accusing us, at the same time iI of having s-ized from her subjects 10 or 12,000 ne, I groes destined to the Brazils. Lord C.rstlercagh then attempted to prevail upon , I Cardinal Gonsalvi to issue a declaration condeming I the trade as impious and immoral. But the Cardinal refused, and complained of England’s tolerating the attacks of the Barbary Corsairs upon the coast of I Italy. In the Sittings of the 28th of January, Lord Castlefl reagh proposed a solemn declaration upon the immorality of the trade ; but the other Powers pressed a more simple document. Spaia observed, that England was too eager to make other Powers put an end • * 4 he trade, she herself having had it under discussions for a period of nearly twenty years before she abolished it. Lord Castlcreagh then proposed the establishment of a committee of Ambasadors at London to watch over the execution of the conditions I agreed upon. This wasgesisted as giving too much influence He then proposed to prohibit the importation of the produce of those colonies into which Negroes should continue to be imported. This was opposed with great warmth. Spain even talked of reprisals! She talked of them!!l At lenght, on the 7th February a definitive convention was drawn up, which abolishes the trade gradually. Whether in five or six years we know not. But we heve no hesitation in saying, that no efforts was left untried by Lord Castlcreagh to procure the immediate abolition ; anil that he pressed it with mure warmth and obstinacy than other meausure submitted to the discussion# of the Congress. Leghorn, Feb. 5. —It is reported here that a young Corsican, called Theodore Übaldi, after having been some days at the Eiland of Elba, had contrived to introduce himself into the'interior of Bonaparte’s house: this young man, instigated, it is supposed, by an old family pique, approached the Sovereign of the Island, who at the time was occupied in perusing some papers, and attempted to assassinate him with a stiletto ; but a steel buckle, attached to a belt, rendered the attempt ineffectual. Bonaparte seized the unfortunate man, disarmed him, and delivered him to one of his guards, who conducted him to prison. The rocks of the Island of Elba are become inaccessible ; It seems to be the present Policy of its Sovereign to renounce all connection with the Continent. A decree of the Magistrates of Porto Ferrajo orders, that no foreign vessel shall approach the coasts of the island, without being visited by captains of the Port; that no foreigner shall land till hr has declared the motives of his visit, and obtained permission; and thet no permission shall be given fora longer stay than three days, without a special licence from the President of the Council of state. The intercourse of the English with the island is less frequent. Extract from an Inverness Journal, Jan. 20.— “ A very handsome Snuff Box, mounted with a Scotch pebble, was lately presented to Mr. Gordon Ross, of Alness, bearing the following inscription: ‘ Presented by the Owners of the T :g Bridget, of Liverpool, Archibald Kenmtn, Comr,ander, to Mr. Gordon Ross, of Alness, in testimony of the gallant conduct of his Son Donald Ross, in an action with an American privateer, off the coast of Surinam.’— December, 1812” Captureof His Majesty's Ships cyjxf. andleunt, by the American Frigate constitution. —oa» The Constitutionkft Boston bay on the 17th of December last, on a cruise. On the fOtli February, about 100 miles eastward of Madeira, she fell in with and captured, after a very warm action, the British Sloops of war Cyano and Levant, from Gibraltar bound to the Western Islands. The enemy was discovered by the largest of the ships (which was the Cyane), about oie o’clock in the afternoon, wherrshe soon tacked and stood towards her. At two o’clock, commencing up within a sufficient distance for the purpose, .she made signals to the Constitution, to ascertain whether she was a friend or foe—but from thair not being answered by the enemy, she knew her to be an American frigate, am! immediately bore up and made all .sail to the westward, for the purpose of communicating with her consort the Levant; making signals to her at the same time, and enforcing their observance with guns. The Constitution made all sail in chase, gaining fast; and on arriving within gan-shot commenced, at about three o’clock, a fire from her bow chescrs. At 45 minutes past three, the Constitution's main royal was carried away by press of sail, which enabled the Cyane to distance her fire. The Levant, then to leeward, having answered signals made by the Cyane, hauled her wind and crowded canvas to pass within bail of her consort, w hich she accomplished ata few minutes before six. Our two ships at this time had concluded it most advisable to delay the action, if possible, till the evening, in order to gain the advantage of the enemy in their manoeuvres. At 6, the Cyane and Levant hauled to on the starboard tack, and hauled up their main curses—when the Constitution hauled up on the same tack to preserve the weather gage, hauled up her curses also, and hoisted the American union. At ten minutes past six, the Cyane got upon the Constitution’s starboard quarter, and the Levaut upon her starboard bow, when the broadsides of all three ships immediately opened, with a tremendous and welldirected fire. The action contiuacd in this position nearly half an hour, when from the main top-gallan{ mast and gaff, which had been shot away, and from other serious damage in her rigging, the Cyane broke round ofl', perfectly unmanageable. Just previous to this, the Levant, on (he Constitution’s bow, ranged a-head, with intention of raking the enemy, which the latter frustrated by boarding her fore tack, and thereby fore-reaching on her. This compelled the Levant to put her helm up, and receive the raking fire of the Constitution ; which she did, and with alt possible expedition made sail before the wind, having suffered very severely in her tuning rigging. Dun* ing these occurrences, the Cyane, upon the Constitution’s quarter, had endeavoured to cross her stern, but from her disabled condition she could not effect her purpose. When the Levant made sail, the enemy’s frigata wore, which brought the Cyane on her starboard bow, and then ranged alongside of her. The Cyane being much disabled, and having five feet water in her hold, was not in a condition to renew the contest, and therefore struck her colours and fired a gun to leewardj The Constitution put her 2d Lieutenant (HoffmanJ and a prize crew on board—and at half-past seven, made sail in pursuit of the other sloop of war, who had repaired damages, obtained the weather gage, and was standing down upon the Constitution. Arriving within a proper distance, she fired a broadsido into the Constitution, and hauled her wind for th# northward. The Constitution, sailing much Tastex than the Levant, overhauled her at nine o’clock, when all further resistance being useless, she struck her colours, and the Constitution put her first Lieut. (Ballard) on board, as prize-master. The evening was a fair moonlight. The Constitution had 4 killed and 12 wounded—and the Cyan* 4: killed and IS wounded—and the Levant 6 killed aud 16 wounded. The next morning (Feb. 21.) the three ship# stood to the westward, and at day-light on the 23d made Porto Santo, one of the Madeiras, barring south. From this time till the Sth of March, they were underv short cruising sail, standing to the southward— and on the evening of the Sth, they anchorad in the isla of May, one of the Cape de Verds. Left that next day nt noon, and on the 10th of March anchored in the harbour of Porto Praya, in the islands of St. Jago, also one of the Cape de Verds. On the J2th, the Newcastle, Acasta, and Leander, which had been in search of the Constitution during her whole cruise, appealed off the harbour. The Constitution and her prizes immediately weighed anchor, and made alt sail by the wind, and the three Biitish friga es tacked and made sail in chase. At one the Cyane, finding she was unable to keep with the other two vessels, tacked to the northward and westward, by made her escape, w ith intention of pursuing her way direct for the United States—having left thu three British frigatea in pursuit of the Cpnstitntioa and Levant. At two o’clock, the isle of May a-head the ‘Constitution by signa! ordered the Levant to tack, which she obeyed, and the British frigates tacked also, and stood after her; when the Acasta and Leander soon opened their ports upen her, but she notwithstanding succeeded in regaining the harbour of Porto Praya, (relaying upon protection from the neutrality of the port) and anchored under the land under a Portuguese fort of between 30 and 40 guns. The Acasta and Newcastle,after firing several broadsides into her, took possession her, and ordered her to Barbados, under the command of Lieutenant Jellicoc, formerly of the Cyane, having also acting Lieutenant Jones on board, belonging to her befora her capture. The Constitution had put about 120 of her prisoners ashore at Porto Praya, befo.e the British squadron hove in sight. Mr. Johnson, Assistant Surgeon, and Mr. Humphreys, another officer of the American frigate Constitution, arrived at Barbados on the 25th ult. in the Levant, and are on parole. The and Levant were from Gibraltar, bound to Madeira with supernumeraries, r gging, and other appurtenances, for a British ship building in the Western Islands. Many of the supernumeraries were among the killed and wounded in action. The rigging came iuto our possession again by tbe re-capture of the Levant.
