PROVIDENCE, July 3.
Exhaft of a letter from one of the owners of
the schooner Nancy, captain Jackson, of this
port, dated Baltimore, June 24.
“ By captain William Hurst, of the brig
William, who arrived here last evening
from London, I have received a truly me
lancholy account of our schooner Nancy,
captain Jackson, which is related to me as
follows by captain Hurst: That on the
13th instant, in the gulf stream, saw a fail
in distress, which he bore up for, and
when near her, saw a man on deck, who
gave him to understand that he mu ft keep
to windward, which he did ; he then got
his boat out, went on board the schooner,
and found that captain Jackson was the
only living person on board, and he in a
very feeble state: That captain Jackson
informed him he buried his mate (Mr.
Welcome Allen, of Cumberland, son to
the late captain Nehemiah Allen) a few
days after leaving St. Thomas; and that
the remaining three hands (James Scott,
Henry Arnold and Samuel Daily) had then
lain below, dead, three days, he being
unable to bury them : That he took cap
tain Jackson on board his own veflel, and
gave him all the afliftance in his power,
which I am happy to learn proved success - -
ful, and restored him to a good state of
health: That a captain Simpson, who
was-mßHnaer_Qo_board the William, and
two Bailors, went on board the schooner,
buried the dead, made some fail, and kept
in company with the brig until Thursday
the 20th of June: That in lat. 39, 32,
long. 74, captain Jackson having gone on
board the schooner, captain H. left him
following after the brig, with a fair wind,
for this bay.—We now momently expert
captain Jackson, as there is a signal up for
a schooner below.”

PIRACY.
The brig Atalanta, of Stonington, tak
en and condemned at Guadaloupe, was
purchased by a Frenchman, from St. Cro
ix, who obtained permiflion to man her
with the American prisoners. He accord
ingly agreed with fix, three of whom were
of the former crew, at 30 dollars each, for
the run to St. Croix. While at sea, the
Frenchman was thrown overboard, and a
negro man killed with a handspike. The
brig was carried into St. Thomas; when
just before entering the harbor, the fellow
whom the remainder accused of being the 1
murderer, went on shore in the boat. On
arriving the crew petitioned for a salvage,
but were conduced to prison ; brought to
trial, and acquitted. One of the men has
arrived here in the schooner Harriot, cap
tain Webb.

cetlary an hour before fun set—soon the
rain poured from the clouds with unusual
torrents, accompanied by heavy, winds
and the lightning emitting almost a con
stant blaze, accompanied by its attendant
companion, thunder; in the evening the
flafties were almost inceflant, and the rain
which fell during the night, railed the wa

covers 10,000 acres, fr<sm two to three feet
