T'ruet, of the schooner Hiber nia, arrived on Saturday, at New-York, in 15 days from Port-au-Prince, has favored us with the following extraor dinary account. On the 30th of June, 1796, at 7A.M. the (hip Mercury, ot New-York, cap tain Jdfop, weighed at Port-au-Prince, in company with a number of transports, and his majesty’s frigate Success, com manded by capt. Pigot. At n p. m. the frigate gave a signal for all to lay to. The Mercury hove to two cables length, on the frigate’s quarter ; at hah pad 1, a. m. the ill of July, the frigate wore and ran upon the Mercury ; or ders were given by capt. Pigot to his men, to cut and bring on board every tiling they could lay their hands on ; they cut away his jib-boom, fpritfal /ard, fore-ltay, jib-Uay, fore-topmaft day, unrovc all the bowlines, cut Hop per, lhankpainter, and two llrands on five bed bovver cable, and ordered his men to take for® stay-sail and jib, to make them trowfers. At this time capt. Jeffop begged that they w ould cut as little as they could help ; the wind was light, and they could clear the ship without cutting. Capt. Pigot ordered his men to lay hold of that damn'd Yankee rajeal. and bring him on ho drd ; which orders were obeyed. As soon as the ship-was cleared, capt. Pigot alked tor the damned rajeal ; the officer of the Mercury, captain Jeffop. laid, “I am the man Capt. Pigot alked what officer he was; the failing mailer replied, that he was the captain of the Mercury : he ordered three boat - 1 wain’s mates to take the Yankee rafeal, an and give him a flogging ! which they be gan to do : Capt. Jclfop made no kind ot refinance, but begged they would have, companion upon him ; no attention was paid to his cries, and he tainted under Ihe blows he received. Captain Pigot then appeared to be fatisfied ; and Cap tain jeffop having recovered his senses, iomc time after ailccd Capt. Pigot for one ot his fails, who replied— You damned rajeal. if you jay one word more. I ‘will have you to the gang very and fog you tt> hath ! and thereupon lent him on board his vessel again. Captain Jeffop arrived at Port-au i rince, vvnere he went before a |ury of forge on s, and all the officers of the port* who all expressed the) r surprise and in dignation on feeing his bruised body. He was taken with a vomiting of blood, which was at length flopped by the: forge™.s. ike gentlemen of the port allowed that it was the moll un,ufufia oie cruelty and the grossest insult to the iAyvs oi nations they had ever heard of j t:m it should be pubiilhed in all the American papers, and represented to the executive oi the United States, and a tiatement of the trail faction lent to the Briiifh court.
