From the London Morning
Chronicle.
I* It i* our painful duty this'
day to announce the capture
of another of our frigates
by the Americans. This
diftrefling cvfnt took place'
on the 29th December off
the Brazils. The Java ot
38 guns, which was con
veying general Hislop and
suit to Bombay, having fal
len in with American fri
gate Constitution, a defpa
rate action ensued. After
two hours fighting the Bri
tish flag was ffruck, and
the Java was taken pofles.
ision of by the Americans,
but in so shattered a Rate,
that after taking out the
crew flie was burnt. The
particulars of the engage
ment will be found in ano
ther column, extracted from
a New York paper.
J VVe arj fatisfied that eve
ry individual in the country
muff feel humiliated at this
succession of disaflers, which
thus m ek and render nu
gatory our naval fuperiori-j
ly. Accidents, it was said
would occur in spite of eve
ry precaution : but how
happen it that a feriet of
these events called accident*!
should closely follow each o.
ther? How happened it
4 or 5 American frigates
should be able to get out
of port, bounce upon
their prey, and return again*
to Harbor without m defla
tion. No human beiag will
believe that this can be
merely the effect of chance J
Something mud be wrong
in the fyttem which gives
room for such a disgrace to
the British flig, a degrada
tion of the British name, &
tuc ulelcfs facrificc of lb
many brave men, nor can
inquiry take place too soon
into the caufcs which have
led to such melancholy e
vents. It is purile to fay
that ships of the line are
cutting down for the pur
pole of meeting the Ameri
can frigates. We have sure
ly Jhifs of the line enough,
without waiting four months
to law them into other ships
to lwcep from the ocean
the whole American navy.
It is in vaia to urge that a
lufficient fo r ce is on the A
merican station. The vet)
recurrence of these losses,
heartbreaking as they arc to
every Briton, proves that

our deadly foe, and the joe of

much fjgar and coffee they 1

eat their applause back again.

1 SACKETT’s harbor. ,
Is the name given to a
handsome village situated at
' the eafl end of Lake Ontario,
about 18 milrg from the
i river St. Lawrence. It was
i firft taken pofLffion of by
purchase, by Mr. Sackct,
: of Jamaica, Long-Island, in
1179 9; ißoi, only three
1 families had fettled there.
I Previous to this period, a
; great degree of prejudice
existed against the lake
ffiiorc, as unhealthy, from
an erroneous id'ia that nei
ghborhood of ficfh water
lakes was more unhealthy
than the sea ffiore ; with
out ever reflecting that the 1
lake of Geneva is a cele
brated for it healthfulnefs,
md that it is only (hallow
Te(h waters, just enough t\
cover rotton vegetables, that
aie unhealthy.
The village of Sack't’j
Harbor now contains a nutn
ber of large and elegant
built lioufes. and it is fet
tling so fait that half acre
houfc lots have fld for
from 1 2 to i 500 dollar*, 65
since it hasbecotm a milita
ry pod, for twice that sum.
The mod interesting part
of this settlement is its cm i
ousand highly valuable har
bor* This bafon of water
is hardly l'o large as our mill
pound was before they be
gan to till it up. Melilh
Uys it contains batten acres
—we believe it to be more
than twice that size. The
entrance to it is about a j.j
of a mile wiJe for her two
opposite points approach
■towards each other like the
Punto a fid Moro C.iUe at
the entrance of the Havanna,
in Minature. Its entraiuc
is strongly fortified. Be
ll Jes a rtlpe&able fort thera
are four block-houses round
this lingular bafon of deep
water, which is bordered
by a natural wall of lime
done, of about 30 fed
high.
