AMERICAN GALLANTRY.
Extract from the log-book of the firi-
.vale armed schooner, COMET, cafit.
Thomas Boyle, arrived at Baltimore
on Friday last from a cruise.
Sailed from C. Henry Nov. 25, bound
on a cruise. On the 26th, gave chase,
came up with and spoke the schr.—-—k
from Norfolk to St. Barts. Boarded,
Dec. 3, Spanish schr Donna-Maria,
from Halifax to Havanna—9th, a Portu-
guese brig from Marenham to Lisbon
-—12th, a Portuguese ship of IS guns,
from Pernambuco to Oporto—14th, a
Spanish ship from Monte Video to the
Mediterranean-—Jan. 9, made Pernam
buco—spoke a coaster from Pernam-
buco, who informed us of some English
vessels to sail in a few days irolh there
—11th, spoke Portuguese brig-Wasa,
from St. Michaels to Pernambuco'—
12th, at 1 p. m discovered four sail
standing out of Pernambuco ; laid by
to give them an opportunity of getting
off shore and to cut them oft’; at 3 p
m they were upon a .wind, standing S
E. and about six leagues from the land,
bore up and made all sail in chase ; at
5 we were coming up with thy m very
fast ;, at 6 discovered one to he a very-
large man of war brig, called all hands
to quarters, loaded the guns with round
and grape, cleared the deck and got all
ready for action ; at 7 p. m. close to
the chase, hoisted our colors and sheer-
ed close up to the man of war brig, who
had hoisted Portuguese colors ; he
hailed me and said he would send his
boat on board ; accordingly I hove too
and received his boat ; the officer in
formed rap that the brig was Portu-
guese n itional vessel mioubtiog 20 32’s
and 165 men, thqt the three others
were- English, for Europe, under his
protection, and that I must not molest
them. I informed him that I was an
American eruizcr, & he insisted on ins
Seemg my authority to capture English
veis.ls, wliich he did ; I then-informed
him that I.would capture those vessels
if I could, that we were upon the high
sen8?, the 'common highway of all na-
tions, that he had no right to protect
them, that the lugh s^.s of right be-
longed to America as much as to any
other power in the world, and that* at all
events (under those considerations) I
was determined to exercise the autho-
rity I had, and capture those vessels if
I could ; he said he should be sorry if
any thing disagreeable took place, that
they were ordered to protect them and
should do so ; 1 answered him that I
should equally iVel regret that my thing
disagreeable should occur-; that if it
did lie would be the aggressor, as I die.
not intend to fire on'him first; that if he
did attempt to oppose me or fir on me
'when trying to dike those English ves-
sels, we must try our respective
strengths, as I was well prepared for
such an evept, and should not shrink
from it; he then informfcd me those
vessels were armed"and very strong ;
I tola him I valued their strength but
little and should very soon put it to the
test. He then left me to goon board tin
mail of war brig tb communicate our
conversation, with a promise of again
returning, which, however, ho did not;
finding he did not mean to return, 1
spuke the man of war immediately, and
asked him if he intended sending his
boat back ; he said be" would speak his
convoy, and requested me to send my
boat on board; entertaining some sus
picion of his motives for thus asking
lor my boat, I told him that I did not
make a practice of sending my boat
from my vessel after night and ’should
not do it now ; I then again told him of
my determination very distinctly, so
that he should not misund rstahd me :
the English vessels were ahead of us,
consisting of a ship of 14 guns and 2
brigs of 10 guns each, making in all a
force of 54 guns ! I made sail immediate-
ly for them, came up with the ship, [th
tnree in tact were close together]] hail-
ed her and ordered them to back the
main top sail ; he gavfc me little or no
answer ; having quick way at the time
I shot ahead but told him I should be
along side again in a few frumitesvand
if he did not obey my orders, I would
pour a broadside into him ; after a few
minutes I tacked, the man of war close
after me. This was about half past 8
p. m. I then ran along side of thq ship,
one of the brigs being close to her. and
opened my broadside upon them both ;
wc? were all carrying a crowd of can-
vas, and I was from superior sailing
frequently obliged to tack and V should
have profited much by it bad the man
of war not been so close who now o-
pened a heavy fire upon us with round
and grape, which we returned , having
now the whole force to contend with,
I stuck as close as possible to the Eng-
lish vessels, they frequently separating
to give the than of war a chance, and I
as frequently poured whole broadsides
into therm, and at tirfies at the man oi
"Wtii About 11 p. m. the ship, surren-
dered, be:ing all cut to pieces and ren-
dered unmanageable ; directly after, tho
brig Bowes, our present prize, sur-
rendered ; she was also much disa-
bled; ]. therr^proceeded to take pos-
session of her, and as the boat was pass-
mg.ttie man of war gave us a broadside
- -.s near sinking the boat, which
V.’ :.; oohged to return ; I then began
*;.aia at the man of war, who sheered
Oil
’v '•
the
1 HOme distance- I followed a little
Ml"n nl;‘dc the third surrender, she
;; cut pieces. I was now
“ •,oce<-u ng to take possession of
-'-'awas, when I again spoke the
ship, the captain of which I ordered to
follow me, who informed me his ship
was in a sinking condition, having ma-
ny shot holes between wind and water,
not a rope but what was cut away ; how-
ever, for his own safety he would, if
possible, follow my orders ; at half
past 1 p. m. took possession of the
Bowes and manned her out ; after this
the man of war fired a. broadside' into
her and passed her ; the moon was now
down, and it became quite dark and
squally, which caused us to separate
except the man of war, with whom wc,
were frequently exchanging broadsides;
at 2 a. m. he stood to the S. it being
d irk, we were out of sight of the otluy
bi’fg and ship, which were in a south
direction ; I now thought it prudent to
take care of the prize till day light, the
c ..puiin of Which-informed me that the
ship and other br:g vvere loaded with
wheat—at day light we wore close to
the prize, the m m of war standing for
us ; I immediately hove about and
s odd for him, or rather for the ship
and brig; he tacked likewise and shew-
ed signals for the convoy to make the
first port—knowing the.situation of the
ship md brig, I determined not to take
possession of them, out to watch their
m nocuvres—they botn bore up before
the wind for the land, in company with
the man of War, winch appeared also to
be much damaged—I followed for some
time, taking particular notice of them ;
it appeared to me that great exertions
wev. made to keep the ship from sink
ing, which, with the brig, settled in tfi-
water ; the nria of war appeared vt
times to render*theni assistance-_Tfiv
ship was called the George of. Liver
pool, captain Wilson ; unci the brig the
G riibrer, ol Hull; capt Smith. At 10
a. m. went in pursuit of the. Bowes, ami
at fneri diaii spoke" her—I have since
learned from several vessels winch l
boarded from Pernambuco, "that the
man of war brig was damaged very
much, besides having * her j^r^t lieute-
nant anti 5 men killed ; amongst the
wofinded was the captain, wna mid his
thigh shot off, arid' has since ..died of
his wounds ; the ship’s masts scarcely
lasted to carry her into Pernambuco ;
her cargo was nearly all damaged ; she
was dismantled, and obliged to get new
topsides put to her—the brig was near-
ly in tile same situation, the greater part
of her cargo being damaged, and it was
with difficulty they kepi her fromjsink-
ing before tney reached Pernambuco
harbor. January . 17, was chased by a
frigate and schooner, couid not m ke
out what nation—after chasing about
four hours, finding we beat them, they
gave over the chase. Jan. 18. land of
Pernambuco in sight, boarded a Por-
lugu .se brig from the river St. Fran-
cisco to Pernambuco ; same day a Por-
tuguese ship from Lisbon to Pernam-
buco, and the schooner Grand Sachem
trom Philadelphia to Pernambuco, Gam-
ble. master, out 41 days—20th, spoke
a large Portuguese ship of 24 guns (all
mass) irom Lisbon 44 days, for Pcrnutn-
ouco.—21si. boardeci.a Portuguese ship
showing 40 guns (30 of them wood)
irom Lisbon to Pernambuco.—22d,
spoke the Portuguese sloop of war Ca-
iipso, of 22 guns. 23d, lat. 12, 46, S.
boarded a Portuguese brig from St.
Salvador to Gibraltar. 24th. lat. 13,
15, S. gave chase to a ship that proved
to be a two decker man of war, upon
which discovery vyc made off. 26th, in
slight of St. Salvador, was chased by a
74, a sloop of war, a man of war brig
and schooner—crowded all sail, suppo-
sing' them to be English, and escaped
•hem during the night. 29th, at 5 a,
m. discovered a sail to leeward, bore-up
and made sail m chase ; at 8 a. m. dis-
covered her to be a tolerable large ship;
coming up with the chase very per-
ci ivabfy ; at 9, jibed the main boom
over and set the lower studding sail,"
in fact, all sail we could crowd ; at 10
a. m. appeared to be gaining on the
chase, who had packed on a crowd of
canvas to endeavor to get from us ;_
A! I A. M. she hoisted English colors,
unci at meridian within half a mile of the
chase, who was carrying all sail before
tile wind, at 1-4 past 2 iioistcd our co-
i rs, gave the ship a bow gun, yawed
oft, and then the whole broadside, in
Fiopes to cut uvvciy some ot ills
Sc disable him, to prevent a chase too far
to leeward (altho’ we were long gun shot
oft ) In a few minutes we cut away h),3
Studding sail liuuiyards £cc. and closed
with him last, when lie began to engage
us.ulso; we now reserved our fire to
close with him as much and as quick as
possible—at 30 minutes P. M. we were
within musket shot ol him, and opened
the broadside witli the great guns and
musketry at the same time upon him_
•t 40 minutes P. M. she struck her co-
lors, being much "damaged in her sails
and rigging, and she having one man
killed and three wounded, one with the
loss of his leg, the other tsvo slightly—
boarded the ship immediately_she
proved to be the ship Adelphi wl Aber-
deen, from Liverpool to Buiii., burthen
361 tons, loaded vvitn salt and dry goods,
mounting eight fifteen pounders, com
inaiidcd by Cupt- D. Railt. Sent on
board a parcel of men to repair the da-
mage—at 4 P. M. had completely re-
paired the damage and took out 0c pri-
soners; at the Same time sent Mr. YVm.
Bartlett, prize-master and 111 men cm
.oard her to take her to the U..S__at 7
P. M. parted co. with her. Feb. 5, spoke
large Portuguese ship of 16 gun’s, 35
days from Kio Janeiro, bound to Opor-
to. February 7, boarded the brig Vigi-
lant, (Portuguese) one day from Per-
nambuco to Angola. February 12, an-
chored at the island Fernando Norohma
lor the' purpose of getting bread and
water ; the privateer Yankee of Bristol,
left there two days before ; the sea be-
ing very Tough, and dangerous landing,
weather looking very ugly, got under
weigli the 13th, without being able to
wood or water. February 14, brought
to and spoke a Portuguese brig from
Bahia to Gibraltar—had spoken anuA-
merican Frigate three days’ before.—
February 28, to windward of St‘ Bartho-
lomews, was chased by his. Britannic
m.ijesty’J frigate Surprize for six hours,
out-sailed her with ease ; at 3 a. m. on
the first of March, made the island of
St. Barts ; 5 a m. on the first of March
came to’ anchor in the harbor of St.
Barts; at 7 a- m was ordered out.by
by the Governor, who refused me
the privilege of supplying myself with
wood and watchin consequence of my
representing to him that I was fearful
my fore oust was. sprung, he .permitted
me to anchor again for a few hours to
examine it; meanwhile I was making
arrangements to get off wood and wa-
ter unobserved in the bight—at 4 r u
2d Margh, got unde? weigh and stood
out oi the harbor, the governor rdfus-
ing let*"-me stay „ny longer ; at 6 p.
M. fir ad a shot at a small sloop and
schooner, privateer^ (English’jthat were
within gun shot ol us 10 windward ;
they iifimwdiat ly stood in shore for
shell, ri—a 8 p m. ran into the
of St Barts’ harbor and made, steals
that would be known to the Ameijpuns
there, and the boats began to ».mty
oft with wood hud water, we lying t$
or packing in the mouth of the ha&or ;
received a numb-jr 61 puncheons ofVa-
terondeek. with some wood, wliich
lumbered us up very much, and put
the decks into perfect confusion—at 11
p M the bqats absolutely refused to
bring * ny .more water—several vessels
had just before come out of the harbor
uqd run to leeward ; and I presume
must have been taken, as I heard seve
rol discharges of musketry after the
boats refused to bring ariy more water
—tne captain of the brig Newton of
Baltimore, took the remainder on his
deck, and got under weigh, in compa-
ny with an hermaphrodite brig, and
run out of the harbor, being bound to
Baltimore, and for the purpose of
of delivering me the water in tne morn-
ing at sea,-and requested me to protect
nim during the night, which had been
previously agreed upon ; and which I
nt^nded to do—we all three bore up
together ; my decks were very mucii
lumbered with water casks and wood
—«i turned all hands to stirt water and
clear tire duck ; got up thirty muskets
and as many cutlasses, as a precaution
to be ready in a moment, if any thing
appeared—.about 20 minutes after we
bore away, severe* muskets were fired
at us from a vessel upon our starboard
quarter, we being then under the jib
and topsail only, so as not to run away
from the vessels in company, who could
barely keep company with us un-
der that sail, and thinking 'those
muskets were fired from a very small
privateer that we expected to be dog
ging us, took very little notice of th m,
kill after a few minutes we discovered
it to be a large schooner privateer cal
led the Laura, (I believe of St. Kitts)
close on board us. It must be observ-
ed, it was tolerably dark. I immediate-
ly cleared the guns as well as we could,
being so much lumbered, and gave
him a whole broadside (well told) da-
maged him very much, he jibed ship
immediately in confusion, not expect-
ing such a reception, I presume, & could
observe his sails and rigging very
much disorder . d, and hear a considera;
ble noise on board ; in fact, heard
a number of our shot strike him
—I would nave-followed him, but wish-
ing to protect the vessels with me, and
fearful of their being captured if I left
them, determined tne not to follow him,
so kept company with them the re-
maining part of the night ; at day light
made Dog Keys; at 8a m. made
Sombero, at the same time a large
m >n of war brig stretching from under
it tow rds us, from which cause wo
were not able to get the remainder of
our wood and water from the Newton.
I hauled upon the wind immediately
to reconnoitre, the Newton following
me as well as she could.
At 9 a. m. a small sloop, supposed to
be a tender to the m,m of war brig,
stood towards us from the windward of
Sombero. She tucked close to lee-
ward of us, and stood on the same tack
with us. Fearful that Ms intention was
to cut the Newton off when opportunity
offered, who had fallen considerably to
leeward of our wake, I gave him one of
our long y’s and he bore up close to the
island, and then hauled to wind again.
l’hc two brigs finding the man of war
approach them fast, they bore up, and
1 believe vvere captured by him, as I
saw them a long lime together. I kept
dogging them ciil meridian, when they*
..ppeared all to run to leeward, s Noth-
ing very material occurred till the 4th ;
at 4 p M. discovered u sloop dlose in
in with the N. W. end St. Croix, beat-
ing tb Windward—made , all possible
sail in chase ; at 5 r. m. made a tack
Close,in shore ; the stoop did also close
into the breakers ; fired several mus-
kets at him ; ho immediately bore'up ;
I out boat, sent eleven men well armed
in her, in c-.se he hauled to wind, and
bore up witli the6Comct, and commenc-
ed firing at him from the great guns,
in hopes by the boat or schooner to get
possession of him—the sea being rough,
and he close in with the breakers, could
do but little execution with the guns
he escaped by running round the west
end of the island. She was a fine Ber-
muda built sloop, loaded with sugar,
agreeably to the information I had
received. Gave up the chase, and hove
too for the boat to come on board. Re-
ceived the boat and proceeded round
the western! of the island and to the
southward ; at 2 am. tacked ship ; at
day light made a sail directly to wind-
ward of.us ; made all sail in chase upon
a wind ; at 6 a m. discovered it to be a
ship upon a wind, trying fo weather the
east end of St. Croix ; at eight, found
we gained upon the chase, and disco-
vered it to be an English merchantman
armed; at nine, she tacked to the
southward ; at half past, nine'A. m. she
tacked again and weathered the east
end of the island—we could not wea-
ther—made several tacks, and wea-
thered away, crowded all sail, but the
ship had got near the harbor . of
Bass end ; qt eleven A- m gave up the
chase; (he ship having-received a pilot,
and got within the reefs. On the sixth,
at day .light, discovered two^brigs to lee-
ward, the. island of St. John’s bearing
N N W. distant two leagues ; made
all sail in chase, and called ,nil hands to
quarters, discovered) the nearest to
,bc an armed brig, wc coming up with
' <eV fast,; at six she hoisted English co-
ots, fired a gun and hauled them down
pgain ; took possession of her ; she
proved to-be the brig Alexis, of Gree-
inock from Demarura,loaded witnsugar,
•rum; cotton & coffee, mounting 10 guns,
sent Mr. Ball and six men on board to
take her to the U. S. 8c made all possi-
ble sail after the other.; at 3 A. M. dis-
covered a man of war brig, upon a wind,
standing to the $, E. apparently from
St. Thomas ; found out by the prisoners
that they were part of a convoy of nine
sail from Demerara bound to St Tho-
mas ; that the greater part of the convoy
had got in in the night; that the man of
jwar brig then in sight was the same
that convoyed them; she was called the
Swaggerer ; at 9 A- M. hoisted our
colors and prepared to give the brig we
were in chaise of a broadside, when she
hoisted her colors and gave us her
whole broadside of great guns which
we instantly returned, and down came
her colors ; after she hud struck they
cut away her topsail and jib, haulyards,
See. in addition to the damage we had
done by our shot which was wry con-
siderable ; sent Mr. Casheli, first lieu-
tenant, and some men, to make sail and
repair the rigging as quick as possible ;
took out the most oi the prisoners with
the boat I had kept belonging to the
Alexis, and sent Mr. Gilpin, prize-m is-
ter, and seven men in the boat to relieve
Mr. Casheli ; the brig by this time had
made sail, and I filled away witii tjie
Comet ; the boat being at a little dis-
tance from us, ordered it along side for
the purpose of gaining the bri% the
sooner, but unfortunately in getting
along side they sunk toe boat and she
was lost, fortunately no one was drown-
ed; the man of war by this time had
gained very much on us ; I thought it
impiudent to make any delay, and or-
dered Mr. Casheli to make the best of
his way. through between St. John’s and
St. Thomas, as the only probable means
of saving the brig from recapture, and
in the mean while I would with the
Comet keep close to the man of war
brig to divert his attention till he could
escape ; the brig'we captured was call-
ed the Dominica Packet, of Liverpool,
from Demerara to St. Thomas, loaded
with rum, sugar, cotton and coffee,
mounting ten guns ; I accordingly hove
about and lay by to give the man of war
brig an opportunity of approaching me,
which he did to within gun shot; I soon
discovered we were very superior, in
sailing; of course could perplex him as
I pleased, by either approaching o run-
ning away for him, as circumstances re-
quired; we kept him in pla^ in this man-
ner till meridian, when I found Mr.
Casheli had got through the passage,
who I had ordered to steer to the north,
and I would "endeavor, if possible, to fall
in with him at meridian—made all sail
upon a wind for the purpose of going
round St. Johns, and out of the passage
between Tortola and St. John’s; the
Swaggerer carrying all sail she could
pack in chase of us ; at 2 P. M. had
dropped him full 4 miles to leeward ; at
the same time discovered a sail upon
our weather bow, and shortly alter
could discover her to be a schooner
coming before the wind; at 3 P. M was
close to her, fired several muskets at
her, and she hove too; put Mr. Wild,
prize-master and six men on board,
took out the prisoners, and ordered him
through the passage between Tortola
and St. John’s, she was the schooner
Jane, fro^m Demerara to St. Thomas,
loaded with rum, sugar and coffee—she
man of war brig carrying every thing
in chase, though so far to leeward; I
then made every sail upon a wind, made
several tacks and weathered away to
St. John’s and proceeded through the
passage between Tortola and St. John’s
in hopes of getting through time «nough
to see the Dominica Packet before
night; but in this we were disappoint-
ed ; for in the passage we had it very
moderate and did not get through till
dark; however I continued steering to
tne north during the night,, and in the
morning could see nothing of. the Do-
minica Packet, which I expected had, i
crowded all sail for the United States#.
On the 7th, boarded a Swedish brig 1
brig from St. Thomas to B-altimore. On
the 8th, St. Thomas bearing south, dis-
tance 5 leagues, boarded a Spanish brig
from New York to" Porto Rico. On the
17th, at 10 o’clock in the night, came
into the Capes with a thick fog, saw one
or two vessels, which did not observe
Us, and were perhaps some of the block-
ading squadron.

Philadelphia, March 22.
We learn from Hurnsburgh, that the
Governor of Pennsylvania has returned
to the Legislature, with nine objec-
tions, the bill creating twenty five ci/S
ditional Banks The bill renewing the
Charter of the Delaware Insurance
Company has passed the two Houses,
and only requires the signature of the
Governor to become a law.
Cedar Creek, (N. J.) March 17.
The sloop Eliza and Mary, Robbins,
from Philadelphia for Lewistown, was
burn' mi Monday night. Col. Pariter’s
schooner was saved by the militia of
Lewis and Mftton. Last night a schiv
from Charleston, for Philadelphia, was
run ashore at the mouth of Town Greek.
The people took out two guns and what
ammunition they had, and, with the
militia, opposed 4 barges, full of men,
sent from the ships. They succeeded
in burning her to the water edge. One
gun-boat might have prevented all this.
A part of the militia will be called out
immediately by the government.
W ilmington, March 20,
A letter dated Georgetown, Del. I7(li
inst to-Gen. Stockton of this Borough,
states—in substance, that the British
squadron at the Capes chased two ves-
sels on shore on Monday the 15th inst.
one of which they burnt. On the morn-
ing of Tuesday last, a schooner, sup-
posed, to be the Charleston Packet*
came into the roads during a fog, and?
on discovering her danger, attei^^ed
to get into Lewistown Creek, iuman
on the bar, where she was burnt by-
several armed boats from the British
squadron. The letter also states, that
the prevailing opinion there is, that the
British Squadron will very soon pay us
a visit in this quarter
Richmond, ,( Va ) March 22.
An express to Governor Barbour by
videts stationed on the river arrived at
three o’clock this morning. Two ten-
ders and a number of barges of the ene-
my bad adv#anced up the river some dis-
tance, above Hog-Island, Sc it is expected*
would reach the Fort at Hood’s bay last
evening. If their object be a visit to
Richmiond, they may accomplish it in a
short time, should they not be Burgoyn-
cd on the way—for in their approach to
this city, they may certainly calculate
on a -very warm reception.
