Chapter I. It wag early on Sunday morning during Ihe progress of the Inst war with Great Britain, that young naval officer walking on the Dattery at New l'urk, had hjs attention drawn to t group of peraona earnestly engaged in watching two vessels jiibt visible far down the harbor. What is it, my friends?' he asked, in frank, hearty tone, aa he joined (hem. 4The tender, again chasing in a schooner, air,' answered an old tar, touching the point of his hat aa he noticed Ihe anchor button on the offi cers coat. Here is a spy -gist, sir,' said a master's mate, who stood near, and at the same time respect fully handing it to him. Thank you, my man,' answered the lieuten ant, with a smile, as he took the instrument and placed h to 1iis -eye. By its aid he could clearly distinguish an armed schooner, of about ninety tons, crowding sail in chase of a trailing fore-and-after' that was making every exertion to escape, both by tawing and throwing water tipon the sails. The chase i about half a mile ahead, sir,' said the master's mate ; but the tender sails like a shark in chase of dolphin. The fore and after don't stand a chance of getting in past the lort. The tender can sail, and I sm the one that ought to know it said a stout weather beaten looking man. 'She wns a pilot boat, and the fastest craft that ever danced over the waves. Three weeks ago, I and my crew were out in her, when yon English frigate suddenly made her appearance out of a fog bink and brought us to. ButI took to my yawl, and pulled tor the land a league away, and escaped; for the fog was so thick the Englishmen could not get a glimpse of tne. it is my schooner they have turned into a tender sir, and that's made so ma ny captures the last three weeks of our small coasters. She carries forty men, and a long thirty-two, so I hear,' observed a eearcan in the group. And is commanded by a luff and a reefer,' added the masters mate. 'It would be a blessing, observed a man-of-war's-man, who had not yet spoken,'if that craft could be caught napping. It ain't safo for a shop to put her nose out of the harbor, beyond the cape; but while the frigate was there alone, they could slip along the coast in light water, and show her their heels; But now, every thing that ventures out is brought to by that long gun of the tender's-' 'That's a fact, Bon, responded another sea man. She has tuken or driven back into port no less than twenty-six craft in Ue last three weeku. I shall be glad for one, when our fri gate lying off there gets her annanent aboard, for then I think we'll swallow the English fri gate outside, and pick our teeth with the ten der. All these remarks were heard "by the yrmnj officer, who all the while continued to look through the spy-glass al the tender and her chase. There goes a gnnV cried several oTtheppec tatorn, as a flash and a jet of azure smoke came from the tender's bows. That is bold enough,' observed the young officer, aa if speaking his thoughts aloud the impudent tender is almost up with the fort, and dares to fire at the chase in the very fcef the batteries.' It is only to try and to dober mischief, sir,' said the master's mate ; 'for she finds the tore- and -after will escape her so she fires a gun to cut away something. 'You are right, my man responded the offi cer, 'for the bas put about and stands seaward again. He continued to watch the retiring tender for some nioments intilence. 'It's a pity we had'' til an armed cutter in port that would Mit faster than she can, so that we miht give her a chase out,' paid a lad, ap proaching the croup. His drees was that of midshipman, and hrs air singularly free and tearless. 'Ah, Frank, are you there V said the lieute nant. hen did you get back from your la ther'sV Last night. I was in hopes to find the ship ready for sea, Mr. Percival; but I am told it will be thre weeks before we can get away. I want to havo a push with John BulPs frigate, who hovers of! and on the harbor with such bravadoing. When did you gel in town, sir.' Yesterday morning. Have you been wit nessing the pretty chase down the bay Frank! Yes. I would give a year's pay if I could have a hand in capturing that rogue.' 'Come aside with me,' said the officer, put ting his arm in that of the midshipman. ' Your worda but express my own wishea.

The tender'a game ap-, pears to be coasting vessels, from which she takes men to impress in the British navy, and also plunders the cralt of such things as they contain which are of any value. My plan is to charter an old sloop, the worst looking one that it is possible to find in port, yet a tolerable sailor, for she must work well, and readily obey her helm. I will load her deck with hen-coops, filled with poultry, pens crammed with pigs, and a few sheep, and a calf or two, by way of variety. You laugh, frank ; but the comman der of the tender will find it no laughing mat ter, if I succeed as I anticipate. I shall ship about thirty-five men and conceal them in the hold, and taking command of my craft with one hand visible on deck, I shall set sail out of the harbour. When I get outside, I think I shall be able to show John Bull a Yankee trick he will not be likely to forget very soon. But all will depend on our good management of the af fair. Now you see what 1 would be at Frank ! Will you join me .'' Heart and hand, 6ir, responded Frank Tal bot, with enthusiasm. 'Will you allow me to be the hand on deck to help work the sloop.'" Yes, if you can talk Weathersfield Yan kee. 'Wall, I rayther guess I ken ; tho' I ant been to Connecticut among 'em since last grass.' This reply was pronounced in such an inim itable Yankee dialect that the lieutenant burst into a hearty latiffh. 'You will do, Frank ! Now we want to pro ceed at once to action. I want you to go to the Anchor rendezvous in Pearl street, and drum up about five and thirty men. Take on ly those that are daring and ready for any thing. Let none of them know your objpct, lest we should be betrayed by information being con veyed to the tender. You will find men enough in these times that will ask r.o questions. Meet me at twelve o'clock, at the Exchange Heading Rooms and report to me.' The midshipman flren took leave and hasten ed up fhe battery. The lieutenant returned to the group andtakirrg aside the master'a mate, whom he knrw, laid briefly before him his pro ject. The old tar entered into it with all zeal. Together they went to the docks, where on ac count of the blockade lay idle a Inrge number of vessels of every description. They were not long in discovering such a craft as suited them, a Hudson sloop of seventy tons. She wis im mediate pet tn trim, for sailing by the mas ters mate, and three or four men whom he em ployed ; while the officer proceeded to buy up and send on fxiard his live stock. Chapter II. The morn'mg folkrwsrtg these events, the Tender of the British frigate was standing off and on under easy sail, and rlose in with San dy I look. The wind was from the southwest and blowing about a five It not breeze. The sky was without a cloud, and only a gentle undula tion lifted the surface of the ocean. The ten der was a clipper built vessel, very long and narrow in the beam ; and constructed wholly with an eye to her fast-sailintrqiialilres, and she gave proof of them by over-hauling everything. She carried amidships a long thirty-two pound er. Her crew consisted nf about forty men in the uniform ofthe British Navy. They were now principally assembled in the bows and on the windlass, talking together or watching the bhore. Alt, the officer of the deck, a bluff full faced young English "middy," was lounging over the quarter railing smoking a cigar. The man at the helm bad a sinecure of his post, for the vesnel skipped along eo easily that aire tee med almost to steer herself. 'Sail, ho!' cried the look out, from the heel of the bowsprit. 'Where away V quickly demanded the of ficer. In shore, two points forward the beam "Aye, aye! I see, answered the middy, le. veiling bis glasses at a sloop just stealing out of the harbor, closely hugging the shore.. 'It another of the ankee coasters, A sail in bhore Mr. Stanley,' aaid be, speaking through the sky light. The lieutenant, a etout fleshy, port wine vi eaged John Bull, came on deck and took sight at the stranger which was about a league dia tant. 'It is a lumber sloop; but we will bring her to, if she dares to venture out for we may get Bonie fresh provisions and vegetables from her, if nothing more. Shall I put her on the other tack, sir! Not yet. Keep on as we are, till the sloop getsan ofliing. If wo run for her now, she will take refuge in the harbor V The sloop stood out for half a mile, and then hauling her wind, beat down along the land The tender delayed the chase until she had got too far from the entrance of the harbor to get back again, and then putting about, began to make the best of her way towards the liar bor she had left. Confident in the speed of his own vessel, the English lieutenant felt satisfied that the chase waa already his, and laughed at the euorta of la sloop to get away, there is no appeal but to force, the vital principle Pa. Saturday, Oct. 35, l45. At length they came near enough to see that ' her decks were covered with pigs and poultry. A rare haul we shall make this morning !' said the middy. 'Enough chicken pie for the wholo of the frigate's crew, to say nothing of the tnrkies and toast pig in the cabin!' What a regular slap sided Yankee skipper she has at her helm! Man and boy, she haa a stout crew !' said the lieutenant, laughing, They look frightened out of their senses, as hey begin to think they are gone for it ! Sloop ahoy ! What do ye want! came across, the water, in the strongest nasal of Yankeedom. 'I want you to heave to brother Jonathan ! I'd rather not if it's all the same to you ! I'm in a mity hurry ! Frank!' added the d is- inguished American officer, in an under tone. when I order you to let go the jib you must draw it aft as hard as your strength will let you. I at the same time will put the helm hard up, so the sloop will play rapidly off, and full aboard of the tender; for I am determined to fall a- board of her. I shall curse your blunders, and order you to let go; br.t don't mind me, keep pulling the jib sheet hard to windward. Leave the rest to me. Now, my men,' he said, speak- ng through the companion-way, 'take a good grasp of your pistols and cutlasses. When I stamp my foot on the deck over your heads, throw off the hatches and leap on deck, and fol low me.' 'Heave to, or I will sink you ! What are you palavering about V shouted the Englishman. The two vessels were now side by side, steer ng on the same course, abeam of each other, the tender to leeward and about a hundred fu thorns off. 'Wall, don't be too free with your powder and 1 will. Aminidab, let ro tbat'nr pb sheet ! 'Yes, I wi!l,' answered the young reefer; and with a hearty will he began to draw it to wind ward. At the same moment the American of ficer put the helm hard up, and the sloop rapid ly played off right towards the tender. 'Let go that jib sheet f shouted the English officer. 'Yes, Aminidab, you 'tamal fool you, let it go, 1 say. Let it go ! Don't you see we are coming right aboard the Capting's vessel ? But 'Aminidab' pulled the harder, and fairly took a turn with the sheet about a belaying pin The English officer was about to pour out upon him a volley of oaths, seeing that the sloop would certainly fall foul of lirm, he turned to give orders for the protection of his own ves sel, but ere he could utter them, the sloop's bows struck her near the fore rigging, and swung round stern with stern. At the same instant, the American officer stamped on the deck, and forty armed men made their appear ance on deck. Tha Englishman, taken by surprise, surren dered without scarcely striking a blow; and getting both vessels under sail, in the very sight nf the frigate, the gallant young captor sailed with bis prize back into harbor, and safe ly anchored her on the Battery, after an absence of six hours and twenty seven minutes. This exploit is doubtless one of the bohtest end most spirited affairs that came off during the war. Tho account erven above is a faith ful narrative of the transaction, and the chief circumstances will be recognized both by die brave officer in question, as well as by his friends. jrtcxlco auat th I' n4 l-el Bta.tr. The Paris Journal des Debuts thus discourses upon the annexation ef Texas: The United States deserve applause for the prosperity they hare gained, ami good wishes for itsprolongalkm. They form a great nation, which cul'ivates most admirably the soil on which it is planted by Providence, and has open ed vast fields to civilization, but the domain al lotted to them isqnite sufficient to satisfy any ambitious and enterprising people. It is ten times the extent of our France, which neverthe- ess is a very fine empire.

The civilized world cannot view with indif ference their aggrandisement on tho Mexican side, for every inch of ground they gain in that direction, is so much giveu up to the infamous institution of slavery. For the political balance of the world, the Conquest of Mexico by the U nited States may create eventual dangers, w hich, though distant, it will be superfluous to guard against.

Between the autocracy of Russia on the East, and the democracy of America thus aggrandi zed on the West, Europe may find herself more compressed than she may one day think consis tent with her independence and dignity. It is not for the interest of Europe that the entirety of America should be in one hand, nor do we think America herself wishes it. Well, then! The conquest of Mexico would be a wide step toward the enslavement of the world by the U- nited Stotee, and a levy of bucklers by the Mex icans at this moment would lead the way to this subjection. There is, therefore, good rea son why the public mind should be turned with attention toward what is now passing on theo ther side of the Atlantic. Part FaslilnMS, The latest prevailing m"des of tbo French capital are thus described by the correspondent of the Boston Atlas: Our sex has for a long Vine been copying va rious articles of masculine attire, and the 'habit' which is sported this fall by all the. ladies of fashion, is taken, in shape and form, from the uniform coats of the French (iiiards f the se venteenth century, from which it only differs in color and texture nankin or brown silk being substituted for white cloth, and the copper but tons replaced by ivory ones. This habit buttons uphioli in the neck ; its collar is small, and turns over, showing a narrow ruff, with a neck ribbon; the sleeves are fiat, and ornamented with gimp trimming and buttons; the skirts, which are very short, open in front, and the cor ners are turned back, and fastened with a but ton in short, it has a dashing masculine air, and sets of: to admiration a good form. It ie not only in dress that the ladies seek to aesume the reputation of having strong, independent minda, by copying after the "lords of creation. Only yesterday, I saw issue from one of the most a ristocratic lrolels in the faubourg St, Honore a beautiful carriage lined with white satin, upon whose luxuriant cushions lolled a young and beautiful countess, smoking a cigar with the sangfroid and ease of a Spanish dandy; and I know that several of the American ladies here arc equally partial to the fragrant weed, though they properly emoke at home. An attempt has been made to Te-intToditce the Pardessus Odalisques,'' in white or black lace, but it did not succeed, tor they only look well when made of mnussaline, and even then are not aj gracious as mantillas. Nothing can be prettier than a mantilla of while mousseline, or crape lined with rose colored satin, and trim med with lace. Lace bonnets, made of patterns workel expressly have met wirti some favor, but the fall fashions are not yet decided upon, though it is settled that they are to be larger than tlirwie hitherto worn. Flounces will be much worn nxt winter, ex cept upon grand occasions, when they will be replaced by three rows of broad lace, set on ve ry full, and nearly covering the skirt. Some wear one very broad flounce almost resembling anntber skirt others thtee narrower ones and a few sport an infinity of small flounces, ir regularly shaped, and et one over the other, like the scales of a fitfh, to within two hands breadth of the belt.

The lia Pedro Company, The brig Francis Amey, purchased by thia company for the purpose of making further dis coveries with regard to the sunken treasures said to have been aboard the Spanish man of war San Pedro, at the time she was blown up, left this port yesterday upon her third expedi. lion. As many of our readers may not be fa miliar with the h story of this company, we have collected the following facts for their in formation: The San Pedro waa an 84 gun ship, and left Cadiz sometime during the year 1915, with about one thousand souls aboard, amongst whom were a number of officers intended to go vern tlie revolted colonies belonging to Old Spain upon this Continent when they should bo reduced to subjection. She was conveying a number of smaller vessels having on board the regular troops, and all the funds required by that expedition for defraying expenses. After having arrived r.ff the Island of Margarita, she was accidentally blown tipby the spirit-room ta king fire. A large number of lives were lost by the explosion and the consequent confusion that ensued from every one striving to save him self. A short time after this explosion, an ef fort was made by an American residing at Cu mana, to recover a portion nf the lot trensurps, by which he succeeded in obtaining about ScVMH). Some difficulty afterwards prevented all fur ther operations until the month of December 143, when the company which was formed in that city fitted out their first expedition, which returned after an absence of some months with out having effected any thing further than con firming themselves in the possibility of their ultimate success. This failure wasowing to the defective character of their apparatus, which they afterwards remedied upon their re turn. The company having completed their ar rangements, despatched their 6econd expedi-t-on, which returned here sometime during the past summer, after having recovered about $'27, tMHOin specie, together with several large an chors the largest weighing about 9,000 pounds several barrels of grape and chain shot, and several pieces of ordnance, one of which was of very large dimensions. Some of the dollars were only discolored by the action of the water, whilst others were so light from the oxydrzing process they had undergone that it became ne cessary to have them re-coined. In this san guine state of further success they have fitted out this, their third expedition, which we Jpa msy be attended with a degree of prosperity tie yond their utmost calculations.
