The whaling ship Golconda, Bennet, has also arrived at New-Bedford. last from Valparaiso, which place she left Feb. 12th, and has brought letters from the Franklin 74. The New-Bedford Mercury furnished an interesting narrative, from Capt. Ben net, of his capture by the pirate Benebedas, bis sufferings, and providential escape. On the 9th of January, Capt. B. arrived and anchored under Point Romaine, for the purpose of obtaining vegetables for his, crew, most of whom were sick with the scurvy. Early the next morning he land ed with one boat. Seeing no inhabitants, he, with his boatswain, went about half a mile into the country, w’.ien they were suddenly surrounded by a about 20 Span iards, made prisoners of, and sent under a strong guard for the interior. The rest of the boat’s crew seeing this, made for the boat, and fortunately escaped, one mao only being slightly wounded. CapL B was told by the partj who took him, that their purpose was convey him to the strong hold of Benebedas, 20 leagues in the interior. After excessive travelling, on mules, a distance of about 50 miles, over mountains and through almost impassible swamps, he arrived at the river Lebo, and at dark was carried about 2 miles from the path into a swamp, where he found an en campment of about 250 soldiers, comman ded by an old Cacique. This detachment appeared to be a wandering party, having no provisions and being otherwise hi a wretched condition. Here was held a counsel ol war, and it was agreed to put Capt. B. and his boatswain to death imme diately, least they should escape in the night. Capt. B. remonstrated against this cmol conduct, declaring to them that he was an American ; but to no purpose ; they only laughed at his entreaties, and asked it Capt. Russell* and Capt. Clark See. were nui Americans? Through lire in fluence of in officer, however, with whom C,q>t. B. was acquainted, they agreed to ifteVSjri.'ifi “ TV *.-?&£. — put a strong guard {of about 20) over them,; the soldiers went to their different watch r vs. Between the hours of9 Si 10,the par lj 4t \l? r " ,c and b J the* discharge of about 100 ca-. 0. , n . niure than 15 yards dis tant. 1 Ids hi t oceded from a body of Patriot troops, wW* ,1 c ome upon them by surprise, and on tl.xS>Yf§iDg from the ground, the Patriots kept uV'; Trowstant fire and cut them down by dozens. For tunately for Capt. B. his guard were ail ei ther killed, wounded or deserted, which gave him a chance to escape. According ly he land his boatswain crawled under the cane breaks about half a mile, and conceal ed themselves The firing continued a b'jut three quarters .of an hour. The at tack was so sudden that Cant. B. coul I not then learn by whom it was made, and therefore thought it most prudent to keep concealed and if possible find his was back to the shore. Considering himself in great danger of being discovered rn his place of conceal ment by thu numerous hordes of dogs that infest this country, Capt. B. consulted with his boatswain on the best measures to be adopted. It was concluded to endea vor to regaui the sea shore, distant about 10 miles, as they judged they might secrete themselves more securely among the rocks that bordored on tne sea. According, with this intent> they set forward, group- ing their way, (the night was ve<y dark) sometimes on their hands ami knees, over rocky mountains, and swamps and through streams of v/utcr—brusing and tearing i their bodies in a most shocking manner ; ’ the only means of guiding their course was by following the current of rivers. Capt. B ! relates that while fording a river they a ! roused the dogs in a camp at a few yards distance, and that they were obliged to re j main perfectly quiet in the water for half | an hour, until all was again still, Atday j light, discovered the sea shore, and con | coaled themselves in a cavity of the rocks, during the,whole day. As soon as it was I dark, commenced their journey as nearly as they could calculate for Point Romaine, in hopes io lind the ship there. After tra velling the whole night, encountering diffi cult! less than those of the night preceding, at day light in the morning, arri ved at the top of a mountain, from which they discovered the point where they left’ the ship, 10 miles distant—Fearfull lest: they should again fall into the hands of- Benebedas’ men, they concealed them-1 selves among the rocks, but suffering much i from hunger, they resolved to put all to! hazard, and about 9 o’clk, renewed their j journey. About 12, arrived at Point Ro \ maine and found the ship had gone,!—’ Their situation now appeared hopeless in deed All the miseries they had endured, were now surpassed by the anguish of their disappointment. Their ooly possible chance of escape was in reaching Aruco,! distance 20 miles; and after having rested about an hour, they continued their jour ney for Aruco. On this rout the travelling was good, being over a sand beach, lhey arrived in Aruco about dark’ Here they found the ship, she ha iae; been taken by a Patriot sloop of war. The town of Aruco was then in possession of the Patriots, who received them with the utmost hospitality and kindness. From tien. Prietor, (he Patriot commandant, Capt. B. states that he received every possible kindness and assistance that his situation required ; and attributes to the humane exertions of Gen. •P. the preservation ol his life and that of his fellow sufferer —they having been three days without sustenance, their bodies dreadfully lacerated and reduced by hun ger and fatigue. They proceeded with the ship to Valparaiso, where Capt. B. wrote a letter to the Supreme Director, infor ming him of his misfortunes, and of the very great humanity he had experienced from Gen. Prietor. There was a rumor current at Valparaiso ! previous to Capt. B’s leaving there, that the monster Benebedas had beer, taken and brought to St. Jftgo, where he was to be shot, Capt. Bennett reports that during his voyage lie has cruised among the Marques sas, Society and Friendly Island, and dis covered some island of considerable extent uninhabited and abounding in wood, water, encoanuts, fish and green turtle—valuable places for the resort of ships that iisit these seas—both as affording supplies and the means of curing the sick. * Capt. Russell of the ship Hero of Nantucket , who fell a victim to the treacherous barbarity of , Benebedas at Aruco the Bth March, 1321. - . Selling off at Cost.
