It is certain, that Carthage was deflroytd by its factionsf and bywant of wisdom antt resolution in its government to iend to Han nibal, the reinforcements and succour he re quired, after the battle of Cannx.

That commiseration which is due to the truly unfortunate (and of such a few might be found, possibly, among the Irish at home) has long beep forfeited by those miscreants, who have found their way to these hospitable fhsres.

The French officers look oil this as the c a life of their difafler. The French Blip and the Harmony, botk fiiaping their coUrle for kept company pai t of two days, but as soon as the corvette was eut of fight, the consulted on tlie. means of retaking the: priee which was affected by turprize, in the following manner ; _ .' . The prize maftcrand his in the cabin alone, at 12, o'clock, immediately after taking ah obl'erv-ct.on, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Clayton being provided with a blunder? bill's andpiftol, which the Frffiuli liad'neg lefted to take from Clayton's trunk, ata the Steward and cook armed with an dx and po ker, Mr. C. attacked the pi ize-irtafter by pfe fenting a pistol, and commanded him to sur render ; he immediately endeavoured to wrest the pistol from- Cl>ytou—Mr. C. then inapped the pistol but it di 3 not go off; the prize-r.iafter then ft rove to gain the deck, to inform his people of the mutiny; but feeitig the IVward at the head of the flairs with an axe, and Mr. C. dragging him back, andgiv ingliim several severe blows with tie pistol, which knocked him down, broke the pistol and cut his head in so severe manner, that it was conjedtured his 1 Ikull was fra&ured'. Mr. N. with the blunderbuls was engaged with the mate, a youth of about 17 years of age ; he overpowered,'threw him down,'and secured him, without any blows. -In the mean time, the cook and steward engaged'the French sailors on deck, two or three of them being asleep, and the others, though provi ded with weapons had none at hand ; they however made a strong reliftance with kives, &c. The jjrize-maller feeing no probability of overcoming Mr. C.and being fevert-ly woun dad, demanded quarters, and relinquished the prize. The behaviour of the ladies after the re-capture of the Ihip, deserves the greateil praise ; they'not onlydrefled the wounded, but kept watch, never fleepilig both at oiice, until the pilot came on board. The gentle men passengers, randered evej-y assistance to Mr. N. The French failors'werfr assured by him, that they -fliould bo rewarded 'and well treated if they in "navigating the vessel, otherwise they fhoutd be..confined <?n bread and water ; they thought proper to accept his termj, and were treated with the greatest humanity by all qn board. The prize-matter took the utmost precau tion t® prevent bfeing surprized ; he armed his people with axes, and made them keep watch during the night, which operated much in favour of the people of the Harmony, as the French were rendered less powerful by day. , It ia said, in the New-York Daily Ga zette, that the infamous Burke, the United Iriftirnaa, has left the country.
