Olt, • PUIVATEEU VICTOIV: At twelve o'clock, M., on the 13th Sept., 1812. Licut. W. was seated on the southern front : of Fort Constitution i'at his side lay the spy-glasS, and at his feet a largeNewfoundlainkdog—a great favorite of all in the garrison. The day was warm; and al though the !MD was shining brightly,-yet: at the east was observed a haze, indicative of a storm. The soldiers were.scattered about—some fishing,from the rocks; others from a cutter or the captain's gig, while others were laying flit, sleeping beneath the side of the breastwork of the fort, or under some gun•car doge. For several weeks nothing had occurred. of an exciting nature, and some of the volunteers sigh ed fur a i return to the happiness of the domestic cir cle, and the delights of the pleasant town in which they lived. The amusements common to a soldier's life had lost much of their zest, and the fife and drum had in a measure ceased to fill therm with that ex citement it was wont to Ili. Once, a fleet of two frigates and a sloop of war appeared off the harbor, sailing south ;jhut although the signals were fixed to announce the approach of the enemy, and the town alarmed, yet the ships did not make for the port, but passed out of sight. The Sutler was the most inter ested among the troops; his business did nut - flag—for what was needed from want of gamer excitement Was made up from his 4oris—these being the days when to drink got;d cheer was part of the soldier's, as well as te-eitizen's life. This good man has with in a few years died, but his memory is embalmed in the hearts of relatives and friends who knew him. We have listened with delight to his relatiOns of the times, when darkness and trouble hung over the land. His son, new a respectable minister of the gospel, will appreciate, we tiusi, this nitinte to departed worth. The Lieutenant applied the glass to his eye, and in the distant east saw what he thought might be a sail, although the haze rendered the object indistinct; he called to a soldier who was near him to look, and their conclusion was the same; it appeared to be a fore and oft" rigged vessel, with a topsail, and as she approached, a jib and eying jib with a gait top sail were distingushed. British cruisers scoured the coast to such an extent, and the enemy's privateers were so numerous, that .bost of the smaller vessels were laid up, and a vessel of this peculiar rig Was pronottii& to be a privateer; but to w hatliatiun she brlonged, it was impossible to tell, as she showed no colors. Her spars were light but lofty, and had that rakish look which our Baltimore Clippers now have. Her course was south—beating against the wind, which was south-west. Soon another sail was dis covered a few points further east—a square rig—a ship standing upon the same course. Several of the garrison were now upon the platform watching the strangers. The ship was largo end some`supposed her to be a sloop of war or a frigate of the second class. She was under full canvass and beating up as the schooner was doing. There was no ensign or signal flying, by which her nation could be distinguished, but the conclusion formed among all who looked on was that she was a cruiser in chase of the schoo Forgive us for alluding at, this moment to stocks ; the very word amid their depression almost produ ces disgust; but a minature broker's board was estab lished from the scene which was going on. There was a little old man—some say he is of Jewish ex tract, who volunteered his services at the fort, to save board, etc., his business being suspended by the war. He was actively engaged in canvassing the views of those who like himself held a few shares of privateer stock. it What will you take for your share in the Fox or Thomas," he was sure that the schooner was one of these vessels, but whether she had been captu red, or taken an enemy's ship, was equally in the dark. No buyers were found, and bad there been, sellers would have been afraid to make sales under such peculiar circumstances. The little schooner came bravely on, and although the night was draw ing near and the haze thickening, still it was hoped She might reach the harbor that night if she wished so to do. While all eyes were rivened upon the ap proaching vessel, the tbig was watching something in the opposite quarter. His eye was fixed intently upon an object, either a cloud or sail ; he pawed the Lieutenant's hand, and with the signs which were in his power, led him to look with his glass in the same direction. A sail was now visible towering full and high, like a. white cloud, and in a little time it was seen that it could only belong to - a vessel of large size. The wind was blowing fresh, and directly on her quarter—so that her run was not less than ten knots an hour. The Lieutenant sent a messenger to the Captain, and his immediate presence answered the request of his attendance at the platform. He put his eye to the glass, first looking at the schooner and the ship at the east—then to the large ship at the south and west. Without replying to the men col lected around, be took the Lieutenant aside, and from his troubled brows, it was evident that danger was expected. A few minutes was passed when the dr'urn beat to quarters; and was answered by the re turn of the fishers, and all the garrison were under arms. "We are to have a fight at last," was the current remarks among the regulars, and the more spirited of the volunteers, while paleness marked the cheek of some who thought of wite,ichildren or fr.ends at home. The private signal was given at Fart McCleary, and the other forts in the harbor, of the approach of an enemy. The two vessels at the leeward were now need) within cannon shot, but as yet neither of them made any signal—the night was fast coming on, and as the wind was now increasing it was doubtful if the vessel could inakethe port in safety, as 'thither had made a signal for a pilot. A flash and a heavy re port sent a shot directly across the haW _ the ship from the south, and it-was immediately answered by the hoisting of the English ensign at the peak. Two tiers of ports were visible. She was under a heavy press of canvass with studdingils set. We must again cease her and visit other bcencs. • On July 15th, 1812, the private - armed schooner Thomas sailsortsmouth. She Was built ex pressly for the business in which she was - to be pla ced—care was had to the - strength and finish omod el. Her rig was a torsil schooner --light sparred, with raking masts tightly rigged, very Much like the present U. S. Revenue Cutters. Her 1 - still waif .low , and very long, pierced for ten guns: and_ carrying a long twenty•four pounder on the forcastle on awl,- Her crew consisted of eighty_ picked Inns =air / more hardy or Brave set of fellows never stepped orb board. craft. She I took the track of 'vessels fr ,Halifax to England, and after tneetingwith is three sail laden taitlrtimber, took:out SATURDAY • MORNING. OCTOBER 16.. 1841. burnt the vessels. After cruising several weeks With out'reeting any thing of particular interest, on the lath of September, at day-light, a sad was discovet ed--Khose was immediately given, end with caeca ty,, which showed their desire and hopes for prize money, hands to went quarters, Every rag of can was pat upon the schooner, the deck was cleared, all things put in trim ; the officers were busy with their glasses, and it •Was soon ascertained that. the sail Was a large merchant ship, of that heavy" build which rendered it certain she was English. The spars of our:little erafi groaned under the press of canvass; and - she cut the water like a thing of life." The boll of thi)ship was visible fro n the deck of the Thomas,littit it was not decided by her crew whether she Wei armed or not. Presently, however, a shot passed across the bow - of the schooner, which fettled this point, and-the American'flag was hois ted at the peak of the Thomas—while an old tar suggested a few nails should be put into the bun ting to keep it in place. It was determined to take the ship if possible by boarding, and for this purpose the helm was put down. The ship having hoisted the British ensign, began now to fire4rom her stern guns, but the shot passed over the schooner or fell short of her. Clear away the long Tom," cried the Captain of the Thomas. 'Aye, nye, sir,'—and a shot struck the ship which told fearfully upon . her quarter rail, ond.wounded several men who'were on the quarter deck. Try him again—and the mizzen top mast shiven d and came tumbling over the side. The ship tried hard to get to windward, but the su perior working of the privateer prevented this. She was now ithin piste) shot of the enemy. The ship luffed to throw in her brood-side; but ere it could be .brought to bear, the jib-boom of the schooner bad struck between the main and mizzen masts. All hands were ready to board—the bold Yankees were upon the chains of the ship, when she struk, her co lors. She proved to be from South America fur London with a valuable cargo. Her crew consisted of twenty foul men, and she carried eight guns. Having placed his Lieutenant on board with, twei ty men, arid leaving twelve of the prisoners, the Cap tain of the Thomas gave orders that a jury topmast should be fitted in the place of the one carried away. This was soon done, and bath bore away fur Ports mouth. The expectations of the crew were now ful ly realized=-a rich cargo, a good ship, and without loss of life or expenditure of ammunition. They in dulged in happy reveries; and no greater contrast could be than was presented by the happy captors and the unhappy captured. The pleasures of home seemed near at hand, and happy wives and smiling children would greet their return, doutly happy as their voyage had been prosperous. • • • • • • The three vessels were now within cannon shot, and the frigate began to fire upon the schooner, but she was not silent. Shot after shot was fired from the long gun upon the forecastle, some of which struck the frigate. The captured .hip was put in the hest state for defence, and orders were given in case of probable capture, to fire her, and for the crew to escape in the boats—cither to the schooner or make the land. The night had now nedily set in, and the flashes of the guns ger° seen from the fort. No doubt now existed to the character of the vessels, and a large number of the garrison volunteered logo to the assistance of the privateer in the boats; they were however refused, ar.d every man was ordered to his particular station in the fort as the nearer ap proach of the frigate might render it necessary to commence firing upon her. There was two rocks off the fort culled the '. Sisters," and a dangerous shoal, named from its resemblance to the animal, 'Whale's Back;" by making a passage through these rocks, the privateer would be able to get into the harbor, and once under the guns of the fort, she would be safe. The extreme danger of such an at tempt with a head wind would have deterred any one bat the indomitable spirit of the crew of the vessel. How to secure her prize was a question of great difficulty; she drew too much water to pass over the shoal ; it was therefore resolved to send a large number of men on board from the privateer, and, under cover of the dusk, it was done. Com bustibles were et hand—the boats were launched, with muskets and side-Orms placed in them, and ev ery precaution adopted for either saving or destroy ing the ship. The privateer had now leached a po sition between the rocks—the frigate was thunder ing upon her with het bow guns—the Woodside of the schooner was now brought to bear, and the shot froth the guns of the fort began to reach the frigate. One struck the ship between wind and water, killing several men,aa it passed through between the decks; the trize ship was also firing with her bow guns, and amid the cheers of all, the main-topmast of the frigate was split by a cannon shot, and` carried away. ' This accident checked thr course of the ship, and for a while her guns sere silent, to give them time to clear away the wreck of the mast. The privateer had but a short distance to make in order to he out of the reach of danger. The shot of the fort told too severely upon the frigate to allow her to venture near er, and the prize now worked slowly around Whale's Back, just giving it length enough to save ground ing, as she passed the frigate she fired her broadside; hearty cheers now rent the air. The firing had at tracted crowds to the pesetal points above the fort, and the merry ringing of the oella announced to the town the cheering e v ent—our friend the shareholder was in ecstacies, blessed the day when privateers were first fitted out, and only lamented the expendi ture of powder and shot, used by the schooner in de fending herself and prize. The frigate had now pas sed too far ,to the east to be reached by the guns of the fort. It was proposed by some to capture her in boats, but her heavy force prevented this from being carri ed into effect. The next morning she Was seen of a great distance laying too; repiiring her damages.
