iind nf'ter nu action of about an hour and
a half surrendered to the Alligntor.
“ s,1 « i* a ship of between 300 and
400 tons ; mounted four long 12-poun
dors, two long 0-pounders, and four 24
pound cai ronades ; four of which I was
under the necessity of throwing over-
hoard in n very heavy gale of wind, in
the Gulph Stream, oa the Gtli inst. ii
which gala wo lost some of our spars
and had our stern boat washed away.
“ The prize crew consists of 16, in
eluding myself and two officers, Midshii
man George S, Blake, and Mr. J. Dixon,
Master’s Mate ; and it gives me pleasure
to acknowledge their uniform, vigilant
and correct conduct, and that they ren
dered me every possible aid.
" 1 will take the liberty to add, that
the reason of the great length of the ac
tion was in consequence of the long guns
of the prize, and Capt. Stockton’s desire
to get along side before he commenced,
(the wind being light) gave her the fight
to herself for more than one hour.”
We yesterday received a letter from
Lt. Abbot, in which he furnishes some
of the details of the above capture, not
usually given in official letters. The
following are extracts :—
“ On the 6th of Nov. in the lat. of a-
bout 20, 38, N. and long. 20, W. at D
A. M. standing on our course to the
South and East, we discovered a vessel
on our larboard bow. Some time after
we perceived she had taken in top gal
lant sails, hauled up her courses &. hove
too, and that she had a flag hoisted half
mast, which we supposed to be a national
flag in a whiff, a signal of distress. We
immediately hauled up and stood for her,
with the expectation of relieving some
worthy distressed brother sailor. About
11 30 we discovered her to be a ship
bearing the appearance of a small fri
gate or a sloop of war, and that her col
our hoisted was a small blue flag. Soon
after we were not a little surprised at
being greeted with a shot, and could not
but at first think it was an accident.—
Our large American ensign and Pendent
were immediately hoisted. We were
soon undeceived however, and could not
mistake her character and intention, for
she opened a raking fire upon us with
round and grape, utterly disregarding our
colours, and having none other herself
than the above mentioned blue flag.
“ You may be assured our commander,
over ready to relieve the distressed, to
fight an enemy, or maintain the honor
of his country's flag, was not unpre
pared at this time, with his little schoo
ner, for either. Finding our guns shor
ter and lighter than our antagonist’s, as
our shot would not reach, our command
er determined to loose no time in closing
with her, and if possible to board, which
from the wind’s being light, exposed us
to her raking fire, a long time before we
could return itf
“ At I ,30 having received her fire
more than one hour, and finding all at
tempts to dissuade her from further hos
tilities were unavailing, and having ar-
vived within musket shot, we returned
her tire. At 1, 40 she hoisted the Por
tuguese ensign, and continued her hos
tilities as she had done before under her
blue flag. At 1, 60, she surrendered,
having sustained some damage in her
sails and rigging.
“ She proved to be an armed ship be
tween three aod four hundred tons, cal
led Marianne Fnlora (commanded by
Capt. Ventura Anacleto de Britto) moun
ting 4 long 12’s, two long 6’s and four
24 pound carronndes. She is pierced
for 10, and from the construction of the
ship’s quarter and her stern ports, has
the capability to fight six on a side.
“ From circumstances which have
come uuder my own observation, and
what I have learnt from the prisoners,
the Captain of the prize appears to have
beeD for a number of years Captain of a
guinea-man in the slave trade. The
crew are said to have observed, that they
bad had plenty of fights before ; but that
at this time they told the Captain, it
would be no good tight for them, for they
knew, by our looks, we were an Ameri
can man of war ; and that his orders
were to fight us, let us be what we
would.”

though B seems to be generally ad
mitted that it is yet too early to discuss at
large the subject of the next Presidential E-
lection, we yet find that discussion progres-
sing in almost every quarter of the Union.—
The members of the South Carolina Legis
lature, “ taking time by the forelock,’’ have
nominated one of her distinguished citizens,
Mr. Lowndes, for the Presidency. We learn
however, from one of the newspapers of
that state, that there is no disposition on the
part of South Carolina to press on her sister
states Mr. Lowndes, if he is not agreeable to
them. Should Mr. Calhoun be preferred by
the other States, South Carolina will be con
tent to substitute him in place of Mr. L.—
This is very liberal and condescending. But
there are citizens of other states, who, with
out disparagement to Mr. Lowndes or Mr.
Calhoun, are considered in every respect e-
qual to them, and whose pretensions to the
Presidency arc supposed to lie not inferior to
theirs. Mr. Adams, Mr. Clay & Mr. Craw
ford are also held up as candidates for that
high office. To the latter, who is believed
to bo as “ honest and capable” as any of
them, it is natural for Georgians to give a
preference; but should the public sentiment
fix on Mr. Lowndes or Mr. Clay as the suc
cessor of President Monroe, we should
cheerfully acquiesce, not doubting but the
government would be, by either of them,
faithfully and ably administered. Of Mr.
Adams we shall content ourselves with say
ing, that his policy and feelings are not in
unison with those of Southern men.
It is pleasing to observe, and holds out to
youthful ambition a powerful stimulant, that
of the persons now spoken of to fill the first
office in this free Government, two of them
at icast, Mr. Crawford and Mr. Clay, are li
terally the makers of their own fortune.—
That this is the case as to Mr. Crawfold, our
readers generally know—it is not less true in
regard to Mr. Clay. At an early age he was
apprenticed in the office of the Chancery
court at Richmond. Persons who remetn-
bor him at that time, speak of the young
clerk as a rough and rather uncouth looking
lad, wearing his hair queued with an eel-
skin. This is the man who has since become
an eloquent speaker,* skilful negotiator te an
able statesman, lt was while a Clerk in the
Chancery office that he commenced reading
law, preparatory to the practice of it, devot
ing those hours of leisure which by too ma
ny are wasted in idleness or dissipation, to
the acquirement ofknowledge.

SOUTH AMERICA.
We have received some letters and
papers from,Buenos Ayres, down to the
10th October, from which we shall give
some particulars more detailed to-mor
row. The government gazette contains
a copy of an official paper, being the
credential letter of a Portuguese charge
ciei a ffaires, addressed to the governor
of the republic of La Plata. Wherein
that gevernment is notified of the ac
knowledgement of the independence of
that state, and of the other states of South
America, which have established govern
ments, and nre recognized by the sever
al people.
The affairs of Buenos Ayres were ve
ry prosperous, and the public affairs
conducted with sagacity, moderation, and
liberality.
Military operations had entirely ceas
ed, in consequence of a decisive and snn
quinary action which took place between
the followers of the unfortunate gen.
Joseph Miguel Carrera, and the army of
, the province of Mendoza. The action
i^^k place the latter end of August.—
I 'he rallying word of Carrera was victo-
I f and extermination—and so desperate
s the conflict that not one ma'. of the
ps under Carrera survived except-
timself and some officers who were
prisoners, only to he made signal
des of—-they were shot in the
quare of Mendoza, a few days af-
battle. The whole of South A-

vas in quiet.—••durera.
(£7“ It has been not without some degree
of painful solicitude for the interests of the
South, that we have seen a disposition ma
nifested in this state and Alabama, for the
partition of the Florida* between them. In
what respect the annexation of East Florida
can be advantageous or desirable to Geor
gia, we have not been able to discover.—
Our readers are not ignorant of the struggle
for Federal power which has been for years
past maintained in Congress between the
North and East on the one part, te the South
and West cm the other. In the House of
Representatives,so overwhelming is the ma
jority of the former as to render competiti
on there altogether hopeless. But in the
Senate, the latter have heretofore been so
fortunate as to keep in check the power and
influence of the other branch. This prepon
derance in the Senate has been maintained
but by a vote or two. When the territory
of Michigan shall be admitted into the uni
on, which msv he very soon, we shall have
no rational hope of competing with them
for power, but by the erection of a state out
of the Floridas. Arkaosaw is too inconsi
derable to be looked to as a state for a long
time to come, if ever. We state facts as
they exist. The discussion of the Missouri
Question must have satisfied the people of
the South and West, that the safest depend
ence for the security of their rights is in their
own political strength, and that it is not pru
dent to trust loo much to the magnanimity
and justice of our Eastern brethren, whose
prejudices, however honest, are in general
strong against some parts of our local policy
(£7»Tlie following article from the Peters
burg Intelligencer, is contradicted in a sub
sequent number of that paper. No letter
from Mr. Jefferson was read in the South
Carolina Caucus—hut the gentleman who
gave the information to the Virginia editor
says, he heard it mentioned in “private cir
cles” the day after the Caucus, that “ Mr.
Jefferson sanctioned the nomination of Mr.
Lowndes.” The truth we suspect is, that
Mr. Jefferson has taken no part in the busi
ness, and bus not authorized the use of his
venerated name to promote the success of a-
ny candidate.

The renowned Talleyrsnd de Farigord ;
the Arch-Minister of successive Monarch*,
who has passed unharmed amid the shock
of Empires ; whose policy was always pro
vident, and whose fortune never deserted
him—is at last d«ld. He died on the goth
October at the advanced age of 85 years.
He was created Cardinal and Aarchbisbop"
of Pari* in 1817.
We learn that a new Tragedy called the
Patriot, from the pen of Mr. Cliarllon, the
author of Matilda, will be presented for per
formance this spring. The scene is laid in
South-Amcrica, and embraces tbe life of the
celebrated Chief Capaulicon. We have not
seen the piece ourselves—it is believed to be
a better production, from information, than
Matilda, having all thc beauties of thatunsque
production, and more incident te pageantry.
Oj?* We arc authorized to announce Ste
phen W. Harris, Esq. of Putnam connty,
a candidate for representative at the ensuing
Congressional election. January 15.
