Copy of a letter from the hon. capt. Paget,
of bis majejfy s fin, 1 Romney, te Captain

Miconi Haj, June li, I/94-
I bej leave to acquaim you, that yes
terday imrningon my pa(Tag= between file
jflandsof Tino : and Miconi (In his ma
jefti's (hip Romnev, under my command,
*n;! the convoy 1 had the honor of re
ceiving charge of-from you the preeeeding
day) 1 d'feovered a frigate, under the na
tional colours and a broad pendant, at an
chor in the (hore, with three merchant
men. Judging tho convoy to be in perfect
fatety, as you was in fight from the will
head, I inade the signal for them to make
thebift of their way towards you, hauled
my wind, and came to an anchor in Mi
coni Road, within a Tittle more than a
cable'* length of the French Commodore.
I immediately sent to him to desire he
would ftrikehis colours, and to surrender
to his Britannic majtftv, or thy I should
fire into him, He fern me for answer,
that he was well acquainted with the force
of my (hip, that he was well prepared for
me both with men and amunition, and
that he had made oath never to ltrike his
colours. By this time he bad placed his
Ihip between me and the town of Miconi,
which obliged me to carry out another an
chor, and warp the (hip further a- head,
that roy guns might point clear of the
town. At one P. M. I got a-breaft of
him, and, having secured the fliip with
springs on the cables, I gave him a broad
fide, which he instantly returned. The
adion laded, without a moments inter
million, for one hourand fourteen minutes,
when I had the fatisfattion of feeing the
national colours hauled down, and of tak
ing pofleffion of her and the merchant
men. She proved to be La Sybille, of for
ty-fix guns, and four hundred and thirty
men, commanded by Commodore Ron
deaux. I have sent on board, to take
command ofher, Mr. Brisbane, (irlt lieut.

in the strongest manner, and whose very
cool, gallant behavior, and prompt obedi

well Lieutenants Field and O'Bryan, Mr.
Patterfon the mailer, and all the other offi
cers, with the Ihip's company, I cannot
fufficiently commend.
lam sorry to conclude with informing
you, that I had eight feamcn killed in the
aflion, and thirty wounded, two of whom
are since dead.
La Sybille had fifty-five killed, iitcluding

and one hundred ;md three wounded, nine

NEW-YORK, Otfober 7.
The publishers of a work in Eligland
called " The Female Jocky Club, or, a
flcetchof the manners of the zg-," have
been prosecuted for publiJhing a falfe and
defamatory libel on Lady Elizabeth Lut
trell, and found gu'lty.
At the close of July the fubferiptions
for the relief of the -wounded seamen and
thewidowsoffeamcn killed in th elate naval
engagement, amounted nearly to fixtcen
thoulind pounds sterling.
A fubfeription is on loot for the relief of
the fufferers by the latfc fire at Ratcliffi
The East India Company, loft, in the
late firt 20,000 bags of lilt petre.
No country can exhibit such rapid im
provements, as the United States have
funiilhed since the eftablilhmeut of the na
tional government. One of the firft ef
forts of American industry, after the
war, was the scheme of opening a naviga
ble canal at the falls o£ Patomack ; and
our firft citizen, the President of the union,
became the patron of the arts of peace as
he had been the hero of bis country in
war. That greaj work is nearly accom
plished, and as a paflage for boats is ex
tended within a few miles of the navigable
waters on the weft of the Allegany.
A similar plan for opening the naviga
tion of Connecticut River, at Hadley falls
above Springfield, is in great forwaidnefa.
A beginning is already made, or will soon
be made, to effedl a limilar plan at Bellow's
falls.
In M«flachufetts, measures are taken to
effeifla Jtfnfftioh of the' waters of the Mer
rimak, with those of ChaffeT Kiver.
The plan of opening
between the Sc Hulk il land "the Delaware,
and conne<fliug the the interior
of Pennsylvania, is in a state of {irogreflion.
Measures have been taken to open a
communication of the Hudson with the
Mohawk and the lakes on the weft, and
with iake Champlain on the north —and
we have no doubt that a business of such
immense magnitude will be carried thro'
every obstacle.
If we examine the bridges of Boston,
Salem, Newburyport and Haverhill and
in New-Jersey j if we attend to the Cpt
ton Machinery of New-Haven, New-
York, Paterfon, Beverly, ice. with the
manufa&ures of duck, cards, nails &c.
we (hall be aftoniihed at the enterprize and
industry of our courtrymen ; as well as
that sudden fife of capital from the fund
ing of our debts, and the eftabliftunent of
credit. Men who attend to these things,
will admire and cheriih our government.
