It is a curious Ft.t, that, in the late
eru nvemtnt with Sir Robert Colder, the
officer* and fcamen or the combined
Setts were in the full belief that it was
l-ord Ntlfon’f fleet they were conten

duetd the French to feh.cf the Spaniards
for the place of honour. Viileneuve com
p’iincried them with the attack of the

(on’s Flag Ship! The (hips of the line
that engaged the Windfor-Caftie, capt.
Boyles, confi(led*if four Spanilh and
two French. The Spaniards t&cd like
men, and fought well ; while the two
Frenchmen hovered about fnealtingly,
watching the impression which the Spa

vantage, when the two French (hips be
gan to (hew fome courage, and approach
cd nearer to the Wi'hfor Castle. If
such an advantage, however, was appa
tent at any time, it ought lobe attribu

who fought very gallantly. But to;
prove that such an advantage was merely |
imaginary, the Frenchmen soon difeove
red their mistake, and retired inconfufio i
to a lcfpe&ful dillancc from the comba

No (urtlier intelligence his been recei

He i . known to be an officer of great
flc'll and courage, and believe, will prove,
that he did every thing that (kill and
courage could do. We (hall, in all pro

account of the whole afti.ui ; at prelent,

is fuf&ciently explained to us in the letter
that Ir.iS been pnblilhed from him, why he
found it necessary to bring too the [quad
ron after the a hi: 011 had Sailed four hours.
We know, he lays, that it was to cover
the two captured (hips ; but fome persons
are of opinion, that these lhips were so
roughly handled, that they could not have
been brought again into action against
us, anJ that the continuance of the bat
tle would have been more advifcable.—
But we do not presume yet to lay, whe
ther this opinion be just or r.ot. We
certainly have not heard anv fuuicient ex
planation given of tlie fl.cts not being
engaged a second tirqe. though they re
mained from the 2 id to the c6:h, in light

IVc fear that our trade with the Span

a very severe (hock, if not to be nearly
annihiliated. The mod rigourous mea

been taken to detest and punilh t'ncfe en

offered the greater part, or the whole of
the property which their teftimoiiy may
implicate—a lure, that may tempt many
of their brother adventurers ; and the
old intendants are removing to give place
to others sent from Europe. (hould
tliefe mrafure* be perfiffed in, or rather

ted
“ London, June 22, ISO3.
“ Sir,
I am sorry to inform you, that on hea~- S
i::g of the case of the Efl’cx this day, the j
Lords of appeal affirmed the sentence of
condemnation pronounced by the Vice :
Admiralty Court. The court was not ;
fatisfied that it was not your intention at
the commencement of the voyage, to \
fend the veffiel to Havana with Spankli
produce.”
The case of the Essex was as follows :
She had taken in a cargo at Barcelona
(three or four years fi ice) under orders
to proceed frcin thence to Calcutta ; but
owing to ibe impcflibiiity of procuring
there the specie nectffiry for the fulfil ■
merit of the objeA, the matter ventured
to return to America, and the cargo was
landed in Salem.; hat v-3 afterwards
under the idea of its being completely
neutralized, re-(hipped, and the vtffel fail
ed with it for the Havana. On this fc
cond voyage the Eflex was taken and
feut into New-Providence, where vefftl
and cargo were condemned ; the decree,
however, was proviftonally rrverfed in
England, requiring 111 the mean time the
owner to produce proofs that the carqo
wm not originally intended for the Ha
vana. Documents were therefore for
warded, supposed to fully eftsbhfh this
proof; and among them, the letters of
the matter, dating hia cifEculties, and
fhewiug the cecefiity es his g°iag con
trary to his orders by returning to Ame
rica, instead of proceeding to Ca'cutta.
Notv. Itb(lancing this, we fee the lords
of appeals have Hu.-med the sentence of
condemnation in the V. A. court.
What makes this deciaon the more i,n -
poriant and alarming is, the principle
couftantiy aifted upon by our mcrchaute,
that property imported into America,
and lauded, might afterwards be legiti
