Allentown, April 25. .1013 PRIM TlerG, Neatly executed at the "Reg ister " Office Illbccllancons.Scicction9. Privateer General Armstrong. The news of the state of things existing at Lisbon, between the Portuguese govern ment and the American squadron there, gives a particular interest to the affair of the privateer General Armstrong, destroyed by a' British naval force at Friyal in ISI4, and now intimately connected, as one of its cau ses, with the misunderstanding, so likely, it would appear, to lead to a serious rupture between the two countries. For this rea son, we have supposed we should be doing our readers a favor by laying before them a history of the General Armstrong, and of the most gallant of all the naval feats of the war of ittfl2, to full of unparallelled achieve ments; and to insure still more interest, we give a British account, being the narrative of an English resident at Pay al, an eye wit ness who wrote it for Gobbet's Register, (published in London,) in which it appear ed at the time. We believe it to be a cor rect, as it is certainly tt very impartial ac count, the circurnstantes agreeing pretty closely with the American descriptions. of the battle ; the differences, where any oc cur on the Englishman's side, being rather to the advantage of the General Armstong than other wise ; as where he speaks of four teen launches attacking the privateer, in• stead of twelve, the number put down in the American narrations : U&J SAEGER 0 &J SAEGER Sut—The American privateer brig Uen eral Armstrong, of NeW York, Capt. Sam uel C. hied, of 7 galls and 00 men, arriv ed here on the 26th ult., about noon, seven teen days from that place, for the 'purpose of obtaining water. The captain, seeing nothing on the horizon, Was induced to an chor. Before the lapse of many hours, his Majesty's brig Carnation came in and an chored near her. About six, his Majesty's ship Platittige net, of 7 , 1 gulls, and the Rota frigate, came in . and anchored also. The captain of the privateer and his friends consulted the first authorities here about her security. They all considered her perfectly secure, and that his Majesty's officers %yore., too well ac quainted with the respect due to a . neutral. port to molest her. But to the great sur prise of every one, about 9 in the evening, four boats were despatched; armed and man - ned, from his Majesty's ships, for the put , pose of cutting her out. It being about the lull of the moon, the night perfectly czar and calm, we could see every movement made. The boats approached with rapidi ty towards her, when, it appears, the cap tain of the privateer hailed them, and them to keep offseveral times. They not- - withstanding pushed on, and were in the act of boarding, before an;defence was made from the privateer. A warm contest en sued on both sides. The boats were finally dispersed, with great loss. The American, now calculating on a very superiof force being sent, cut his cables and rowed the privateer close in alongside of the fort, within half cable's length, where he moored her, head. and stern, with four lines. The governor now sent. a •remonstrance to Capt. Lloyd, of the Plantagenet, against such proceedings,. and trusted the privateer would not• be further molested ; she being in the dominions of Portugal, and under the guns of the castle, was entitled to Portuguese protection. Capt. Lloyd's answer was, that ho was determined to destroy the vessel, .at the ex pense of all Favul ; and should any protec tion be given her by the port, he would not leave a house standing in the village. All the Inhabitants were gathered about the walls, expecting a renewal oi l the attack.— At midnight, fourteen launches were dis covered to be coming, in rotation, for the pur pose. When the y• vof within close gunshot, RAL IN POLITICS. poetical IZiepartment. GMECI I know It is a vain wild dream,. - The love for thee I've cherish'd; I would, as die the tender leaves, That it with hope had perish'd; But oh! love died' net with hope, It lights her funeral pyre, Which smoulders in the ruin'd heart, A slow consuming fire. 1 do not ask thce e'er to take This ,iriekrn heart of mine 1 only tell thee or its (lame, And that it all is thine: I do not ask the to forego The charms that I have not, Prowl wealth, and Beauty's witchery, To share. my lonely lot.

I ask to love, And be the gentle guardian To lead thy thoughts above Thy form is ever in my sleep, Thy voice I ever hear— Thine is the name I breath to heaven When bent in silent prayer. FAVAL, October 15, 1811 NUMBER 43: a tremendous and effecttial discharge Wad made from the privateer, which tifiew thO boats into eonfusion. They-now - retiirned a spiriti3d fire ; but the privateer kept iii Sd continual a discharge, it was almost impos.; sible for the boats to make any progress. -4 They finally succeeded, after immense loss, to get alongside of her, and attempted tO board at every citiarter, cheered by the di& versa with a shout of wno epeal;ter," vtrhich we could distinctly hear, as well as theft' shrieks and cries. • The termination was near about a total massacre. Three of the boats Were stink, and but one poor solitary officer escaped death, in a boat that contained fifty souls he was wounded. The Americans fought with great firmness. Some of the boats Were left without a single man to rote thud ; Oth ers with three or four ; the most that any one returned with was about ten. Several boats floated on shore full of dead bodies. With great reluctance I state, that they Were thin ned with picked men, and commanded by the first, second, third and fourth lietitentintS of the riaiitagenet,—the first, second, third and i.e , •-• Ihe frigate—and the first Offi cers of i:l—ingether with a great num.; tier of midshipmen. Our whole force eit ceecled 400 men ; but three officers escaped, two of which are. 'Wounded. This bloody and unfortunate Contest lasted aboth fcirty minittea. After the boats gave out, nothing. Mini WEIS attempted till daylight nekt morning, when the Carnation hauled alongeideand engaged lief. The Privateer continued id make a most gallant defence. These Vete: rans reminded the of LaWrence's. dying words, of the Chesapeake- 1 1.00n% dive up the ship !" The Carnation lost one of her topthaSts, and her yards were shot away. Sha was much cut up in rigging, and re ceived several severe shot in-her Tlds obliged her to haul off to repair, and td cease firing. The Americans now, finding their prin: cipal gun (Long Tom) and several 'Others dismounted, deethed it folly to think of sav ing her against so superior a force; they therefore cut away her masts to the (leek: blew a hole through her bottom, took out their small arms, clothing, &c., and Went on' shore. I dis'covered only two shot-,holes in the hull of this privateer, althoug much cut up in tigging. ,. Two bbats' crews Were afterwards des. patched froni our vessels, which Went On board, took out Seine provisions, find set her on fire. )''or three days after, we Were.emplOYed in burying the dead that washed on shore in the surf. The number Of British killed ek ceutls 120, and 90 wounded. The enemy, to the surprise of mankind, lost only two killed, and seven wounded. We may . ivell say, "God deliver us from our enemies," if this is the way the Americana fight. After burning the privateer, Capt. Lloyd. made a dediand of the Governor to deliver up the Americans ns prisonerahiCh the Governor ref Used. He threatened to send 500 men on shore, end take them by force. The Americans immediately retired with their arms to an old grithic cenvent ; kn'ock ed atiray the adjoining drawbridge, and de termined to defend themselves to the last.— The Captain, hoWeVer, thotight (fetter thdtt to send his men. Ile then demanded twd men, which, be said,' deserted from his vessel when in America. The Governor sent for the men, but fotind none of the des• cription given. Many houses received much injury On shore from the alma of the Carnation. A woman, sluing in the fotirth story of he; house, had her thigh shot off, and a bdy had his arm broken. . The American Consitl heie demand on the Portuguese kit a ,hiindred thousand dollars for the priiateer. which. our Consul, Mr. Parkin, thinks, in justice; will be paid, and that they will claim on England. Mr. Perkin, Mr. Edarard Bay. ley, and other gentlemen disapprove of the outrage and depredation committed by our vessels on this occasion. The vessel that was despatched to England tjith the *dun& ed, was not permitted to take a single letter from any person..
